Another interesting way to save, is to check out some of the freebies. This site has a pretty good list. Somethings, like a sealer for an open champagne bottle for FREE, when this is something I wish I had every year, perfect stocking stuffer for my husband.

I've made out okay on some of the "Free Trials". Urban Nutrition has quite a few products. If you check them out, start to order, put in your info, then close the window when you see what they want for S&H on this "FREE" trial, usually $7-8, they usually will open a window that asks you to come back for S&H of $1.95. Close that window, and they often come up with yet another window for a free $10 g/c for Starbucks or Blockbuster, and $1.95 shipping. So, now the freebie is a better deal. They do commit you to autoship, but I've done this their pet treats; when she had surgery and had diet changes after I'd already ordered, I canceled without ANY problems, and they still let me keep the gift card.

Quite a few "free trials" will do this with one price, then a lower one, then a deal for the trial. Not all of them. And if you really aren't interested, be careful. I signed up with VetBalance when my dog was sick, but when she had surgery I canceled per their instructions, and they refused, and it's been a mess getting out of it.
