Professor Cheap’s free resource shelf
Free gifts, useful printables & savings calculators
Give a thoughtful gift of your time, get organized with a printable worksheet, or compare a purchase with a free calculator. These Cheap101 resources are free to use and require no signup.
Bookmark this page for the next time you need a little help spending less. Printables can be printed or saved as PDFs through your browser; paper and ink are your own supplies.
Small budget. Big heart.
Give a little time. Make someone’s day.
A thoughtful gift can be a helping hand, a shared afternoon, or a promise to take something off someone’s plate. These favor coupons are free to use—no purchase or signup required.
Choose, print, cut and personalize. There are 12 ready-made coupons and four blank ones below. Printing uses paper and ink; you can also copy a coupon onto paper you already have.
Use your browser’s print preview to select the sheets you want. Choose black-and-white printing or “Save as PDF.” The print layout leaves out the website navigation and uses simple outlines to save ink.

Make your gift a promise you can keep
Choose something the recipient would appreciate and that you can comfortably offer. Agree on the timing and any supplies or costs together. A short handwritten note about why they matter makes the coupon even more personal.
Good for: birthdays, thank-you gifts, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, holidays, or a little surprise on an ordinary day.
