I've got about 90 Coopers PET bottles that I bought in one way or another, and a few dozen swing-top bottles that I have bought beer in, but the majority of my brewing goes into normal soft drink PET bottles that I have asked my friends (both of them) and family to collect. Others I've spoken with cultivate relationships with reception rooms to take away their glass bottles.
I've spent some money on bottles because I have always wanted to avoid the crown seal, but it seems you can probably do bottling for nearly nix if you do it right.

I find I am talking to anyone and everyone about my home brewing. Found alot of people that have tried it>
If you ask you can score another fermenter out of it. Just tell them that you will hang on to it until they wont to start brewing again.
As for gadgets etc. I have been able use other mates trade accounts if I don't have one with a wholesaler.
I barter with the bloke that does my stainless steel welding. I also do the odd cash job to pay for anything i can not score.
Most of the time I just ask the question? What is that doing over there? Normally you get. Do you wont it! Only if you are getting rid of it. I always make sure I can make room in my work van to get it home.
Mate I have a shed full of stuff if I don't use it I will always mack sure it goes to some one that can.
