This is the third installment of the “Bucks Guide” series, which consists of previous posts grouped into topical guides. When I read other blogs I like I’m sure there is older content I might want to read, but usually I don’t have the time to dig through the archives. This is my attempt at making subject matter easier to find here. To that end here is:

So…what to do when your hippy philosophy is offended by what you consider to be your lesser, sell-out sibling? You start up Free Use. Actual quote from the site: “You see, we believe that giving things away for free…came about the time man separated from primates, as a species.”
Outright offers free, online bookkeeping for small businesses. I have not used it but they appear to offer everything you need to keep your books up to date.

2 Car Pros offers free car repair advice by certified ASE technicians, as well as a forum, videos and an archive of questions and answers by manufacturer and topic.
I have never been a big fan of Walmart (their stores are full of strange people and stuff made in China) but freebies are a different story. Stop by their freebie page and see if there is anything you can use.
