              | 1) OLD SCHOOL METHODS 
 If you have a business you should be bartering goods
 and services with other businesses. You should try to
 trade for something before you buy it. Barter deals
 usually require little or no money.
 
 Another option would be to network your business
 with other businesses. You could trade leads or lists.
 This will cut down on your marketing and advertising
 costs.
 
 2) FREE AND LOW COST
 
 You should try visiting the thousands of freebie sites
 on the internet before buying your business supplies.
 You can find free software, graphics, backgrounds,
 online business services, etc.
 
 Have you ever purchased business equipment you
 only needed for a small period of time? You could
 have just borrowed the equipment from someone
 else or rented the equipment from a "rent-all" store.
 
 3) SMART AND THRIFTY
 
 Make a list of business supplies or equipment you'll
 need in the future. Save money buying your business
 supplies in bulk quantities. Find lower prices on
 business supplies and equipment at online and offline
 auctions. If your business equipment and supplies
 don't need to be new, buy them used.
 
 You should always try negotiate a lower price for
 any business equipment or supplies. It doesn't hurt
 to try. Pretend you are talking to a salesman at a car
 lot. Also keep on the look out for new lower priced
 supplies.
 
 QUICK READ SUMMARY
 
 1) Barter your goods or services and network your
 business with other ones.
 
 2) Look for free business stuff online and if all fails,
 borrow or rent.
 
 3) Find lower prices at online auctions, wholesale
 sources and don't forget to negotiate.
