- Two bungee cords (free).

- Tape (free).

- Two pieces of packaging foam (free).

Not that those are expensive, but I'm not sure why the link says they are free.

But, as a DIYer myself, a lot of things do accumulate for Actually Free, you just have to watch out for good materials.

Especially bungee cords. I don't accidentally have bungee cords, nor are they common office supplies...
