Before paper currency and coins gained widespread use, bartering or trading was the commonly accepted practice around the world. If you grew wheat, you would trade that wheat for the things you needed such as meat, furniture or livestock. The two parties would agree on what seemed a fair amount of each commodity or product and a trade would be made.
Bartering is still used today and is becoming increasingly common as money gets tight. If you plan well and get to know more about bartering, it can be a very useful tool in your thrift arsenal. Here are some sites that might help you out:

Could you make greeting cards or holiday newsletters for a chicken farmer in exchange for eggs? Make sure you check out the top link above to find out about tax laws regarding bartering, but with a little work, you may be able to give your budget a little breathing room.
