What Do People Buy to Get Free?
If you’ve ever paid money for something and then found out that others got the same thing for free, you’ve probably kicked yourself. We want to know: what items do people usually spend money on, unaware that they can get them for free?
Here’s an example. I currently have about five physical magazine subscriptions, including one for a dear New Yorker. I found them on a free site , they cost me nothing, and I’ve been doing this for years. What else do people spend their money on that they can get for free ?
We’re not really looking for obvious answers like water. Most people know they can get water without paying for it, anyway they just prefer to spend money on it. We are mainly looking for items that people are unaware of, which are often free. Please format your answer like this:
Item name Where you can get it for free What you need to do to get it for free
