1.Movie and Game Rentals from Redbox

红盒子的电影和游戏租赁服务

In the years that I've been renting movies from Redbox, I've never spent a dime on one. I always use a free Redbox code to rent DVDs as well as the occasional game rental. Redbox has a great selection of movies and it's the only place that I rent movies from.

数年来我一直通过“红盒子”租看电影，从来没有为哪部电影花过一分钱。我有一个红盒子的免费账号，我总是用这个账号来租赁DVD,偶尔还租一盘游戏光碟。红盒子上有许多各种类型的电影，是我租看电影的不二之选。

2.Magazine Subscriptions

免费杂志订阅刊

I get dozens of free magazine subscriptions to all the magazines I could possibly ever want or have the time to read.

我有数十册免费的杂志订阅刊，包括各种类型的杂志，多到我既没时间也没兴趣去读它们。

These are not business journals that you've never heard of, these are popular magazines that include women, parenting, family, business, and hobby magazines that you are most likely paying money for right now.

我收集到的并非鲜为人知的商业杂志，而是许多十分流行的杂志，包括女性杂志、家庭教育杂志、家庭杂志、商务杂志还有兴趣杂志，大多数都是此时你十分愿意花钱去买的杂志。

3.Travel Toiletries

旅行装盥洗用品

Thanks to all the free samples I get, I'm never without travel-sized toothpaste, free sample bottles of shampoo and conditioner, packets of body wash or tiny soaps, and a large stash of perfume vial samples.

多亏我收集了很多免费的试用品，我拥有的旅行装牙膏、免费试用装的洗发水、润发素、沐浴液和小包香皂用都用不完。我还屯了很多小瓶装的试用装香水。

4.Books and Ebooks

纸质书籍与电子书籍

I'm an avid reader and I always keep a book around for any down time I might have. Even though I read all the time, both paper books and ebooks, I never pay for the books I read.

我是一名狂热的书迷，总会在手边备着一本书，只要一有空闲时间就拿出来看。虽然我几乎所有时间都在阅读——纸质书和电子书都有——却从来不为自己看的书花钱

Your local library is a great source for reading books for free, along with these other places to get free books and free audiobooks. I also love my Kindle and I get all sorts of free Kindle books to read.

电脑软件和在线服务

I can't remember the last time that I've paid for computer software or an online service. There's no need to when there are simple so many great programs out there that are free.

我已经不记得自己上一次掏钱购买电脑软件或在线服务是什么时候了。其实也没必要这样做，因为有很多非常好的程序都是免费的。

化妆品和其他美容产品

I love trying out new makeup and other beauty products and I get to do this without spending a dime.
