 THE HUNT FOR VINTAGE FREE STUFF ON THE NET SCAVENGING FOR A CAUSE

You don't have to have a lot of money to dress like Audrey Hepburn. Take a tour of New York's vintage clothes shops, and join the treasure hunt for some great bargains.

Pet fish, prosthetic legs, and computer screens are just some of the free things that popular websites such as Craigslist offer. Enter the world of online freebies.

Material for the Arts gives local organizations great free stuff – and helps save the planet too. Travel with our reporters to this unusual eco-friendly warehouse.
