As a newbie I was anxious to spruce up my wardrobe.. but without any money :).. And thats hard in SL as in RL.. So I went on a freebie hunt.. and this search is continuing even now :)..

Few of my favourite stores ( but not the only ones.. I haven't explored the entire Second Life yet :)) are listed below. Click on the place name to get the SlUrl of that place..

Free Dove
All free stuff here (only L$0) including clothes, accessories, avatars for men and women. I found few cool goodies here :)...The place is worth visiting.

Milky 9
Wow.. this is a huge place.. But stores are also present .. those are the ones boxing in the freebie area. You have got 2 floors worth of stuff here and on the third floor you have the changing room I believe. The floor plan is available in the center so its pretty to navigate to find specific items..Whatever you want you can get it here.. But it takes time rez.

Freebie Dungeon
This place is aptly named... Boxes full of avatars, skins, shapes,clothes,textures,furniture,buildings and the list goes on.. My friend Rapture introduced me to this place and I should say I felt like Christmas had come early for me :D..

There are a couple more places but mostly the free items get repeated.. I visit every last one of them to see if any new item has been added.. And beware of griefers at all times..
