TL;DR

  1. Before you buy something, see if you can borrow it from the library

  2. Reserve free tickets to local museums and attractions

  3. Print out your documents at a discount

  4. Get free help with homework and standardized tests

  5. Take free fitness, hobby and language classes

  6. Attend free concerts and performances

  7. Access free social services
