I find that my Suddenly Frugal readers are on the cutting edge of all things cheap, thrifty and free. That’s why I’m hoping you can help me with a story a national woman’s magazine has asked me to put together for them. (I can’t reveal the name until the assignment is finalized, and I don’t want to jinx anything.)

Previously, this magazine had reprinted my post “Getting Something for (Almost) Nothing” and now the editors want me to expand on the notion of where you can go on the Internet to get free stuff.

Well, of course there are my Freebie Friday deals, and the magazine has written about Freecycle, Paperbackswap and BookMooch. So I don’t need any opinions on those items. However, I have put together (with the help of an intern at the magazine) a list of Internet websites where swaps and freebies abound. You’ll find that list below.

If you have any personal experience using these sites–for better or for worse–will you post a comment? Or, if you have additional suggestions for my list, will you post a comment?

In addition to these national websites, are you aware of any local, regional or national organizations that have started swaps or freebie free-for-alls? I’d love to hear about them, too.

I’m stoked to read what you all have to say about these sites.
