Money Crashers: secondhand shopping and free e-books

Money Crashers has popped up two new articles of mine, both on topics close to my heart.

The first is about secondhand shopping. Since I always prefer to buy secondhand when I can, I felt particularly well qualified to cover this topic. The article compares the various types of venues that sell secondhand goods, from thrift shops to eBay to yard sales, and offers strategies for getting the most for your money. Much of it will be familiar to regular readers of this blog, but here it's all conveniently organized in one place.

And the second is about another favorite subject, books. Specifically, it's about e-books and about how and where you can get them for cheap or free. The article runs through all the best sites for finding digital reading material at little to no cost, from digital libraries to the collection of free Kindle books on Amazon. (Okay, a lot of them aren't very good, but they'll do to pass the time in a waiting room.)
