free alternative once a month.

“Just because something comes in a shiny box or has a slick

just because it’s free doesn’t mean it’s any better. Take the time
to evaluate alternatives to develop an informed decision, and
you’ll improve your quality of life and work. When making changes,
it’s easier to make a gradual transition rather than just pulling
the tablecloth out and expecting the glassware to stay intact.”
