![Quintet – boldly fly your starship through the galaxy with your friends [Freeware]](http://www.redferret.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/quintet3-270x190.jpg)
As we move haltingly into uncertain times, I thought it might be handy to have a few resources at hand to help with living sensibly and frugally for the future. So here they are.
- Thrifty Fun. Long established and popular community site looks at all the options available for living carefully across a wide range of categories.
- Frugal Hacks. Small blog offering mom and pop type advice on all sorts of topics related to prudent lifestyles.
- Totally Free Cr*p. New blog style site which is rapidly gaining new friends by featuring completely free product offers every day.
- Frugal Cuisine. Low cost recipes blog, with lots of interesting alternatives to meatloaf.
- My Frugal Life. Large blog portal featuring all sorts of different aspects of the simple life. A good place to start your own blog even.
- Freecycle. The ultimate cheapskate service, offering listings of giveaways in your local area. Superb and hugely popular resource (or movement really).
