What's your name?
Alison Bayne

What's your fun on a shoestring idea?
freebie websites

Tell us about it:
Surfing the internet and logging on to free stuff websites is an easy way of finding out about new products and services, trying new things, and getting something for nothing.

What do you enjoy the most?
I have received a number of free cinema tickets and I always have a chance to try the latest products. I get treats that I wouldn't normally have - like new perfume.

Who would enjoy it?
teenagers and adults

How much does it cost?
it's free

Is there any special equipment you need to do this?
You need an internet connection - our package is free access after 6.00 pm [Or you can pop down to the BBC Open Centre on Shoreham Street for free web access - Ed.]

Where and when can you do it?
whenever it's cheap to access the internet

Got a favourite activity or pastime that costs less than a tenner? Tell us about it!
