Free food is a hard one since you have to take care of plants for them to grow right.
Ask someone a trick question sometime. "Where does food come from?" If they answer, "from farms and the earth and gardens" say "What, No food comes from the stoooore, jease it's a simple question." and answer the opposite way if they answer the opposite.
If you had a hydroponics garden in a green house you wouldn't have to worry about weeds or cold or bugs or animals or most disease. So a lot less work to do and bigger harvests.
Indoor pots may work just as good though.
Have a covered open air eating area next to the greenhouse for eating fresh food with no fridge.

Free energy
We don't need to find new sources of energy, what we need to make is new devices that use no energy. IBM said that in 5 years we will have cell phones with extremely small processors and also low energy consumption material which will not need charging but will instead be charged by motion in the same way wrist watches are.
Wrist watches can use no energy. But we had those 500 years ago with scientific sundials(just a piece of wood and string) that can tell direction, time, day of month, wind direction, and do the same at night time also.
We don't need cars and roads and gasolene if we use flying vehicle like hang gliders and paragliders. They use wind power just like birds do and even if you did have a motor you wouldn't need a big one.
Do we need TV? Do we need computers? Do we need video games? Do we need washing machines? Do we need dryers? Can we heat water on a wood stove, or with the sun? Do we need AC? Do we need phone lines? Do we even need wires in our house at all?
Things that use no electricity:
Bucket/water/plunger/clothes/soap
wind up light
oil lamp
clothes line
solar heating
wood stove
Good insulation
Winding watch
Sundial
Solar powered flashlight
Solar powered power source for cell phone
books
traveling by hiking, bike, paraglider, sail boat,
making stuff or gardening or talking for entertainment.
Low power laptops powered by solar panels for internet phone and TV/movies/games
Wind powered turbine on kite for lights
-----------
The only free energy I know of so far or at least cheap energy is lasers. They have spontaneaous emission and can provide more energy than anything else.
They're also doing fusion tests this year at NIF.
But for us regular joe's we have to use wood for heat and oil lamps for light. Or wind up flashlights.
Solar panels can keep ultra-capacitors topped off for use in the house during the day but they may lose lots of energy throughout the night. This can run lights easily.

Free phone/communication
Don't know how to do this yet except we might have within 5 years as IBM said in the beginning of 2011 news article, phones that are more energy efficient in way of chips and materials, and which energize themselves with movement like mechanical self winding watches.
These could then be used as walkie talkies.

Free Housing
Once you build it it lasts forever.
Cheap and easy to build.
New adobe material, and house design:
So I'm excited again about building a house for cheap. I was thinking about making a house out of adobe or clay and then firing it to harden and be water proof but that would require a lot of energy and may not even work but then I hit upon the rubbery adobe idea again that I heard from the project serpo story a long time ago, and put it together and will now try and test a mixture of 2 parts sand 1 part clay and mix in some polyurethane or silicone into the mix instead of water to make it wet and plyable and then when it dries it will be like cement. This way it's not as expensive and ugly and soft and prone to fire as polyurethane foam.
I don't know what to call this material but it would be along the lines of pycrete, or plywood or other recently invented materials.
-----------------------------------------
The main point of all of this is to build a house structure that is water proof, sound proof, fire proof, and the same shape as a bomb shelter, and for even more insulation put more dirt on top. Even adobe kilns are actually defined as being extremely insulated temperature controlled structures, and they're made out of adobe. So adobe is still the best insulator ever discovered.
Because it's so well insulated you will never need to heat it or cool it if the walls are thick enough.
It wouldn't need a door as long as you built the entrance in a way that water didn't get in. But you might want a net to keep bugs out, or use smudging to keep them out.
The structure itself would not have anything built in. This house is just shaped adobe, nothing built in except maybe a skylight and way for breeze to get in. No toilet, no electricity, no lighting, no appliances. These would all be added later as needed.
The house is parted into 4 section with removable walls. One is bathroom, one is kitchen, one is bedroom, one is living room.
Kitchen: Only has a counter and table and food storage, all dried food or fresh.
Bathroom: a small room with a bucket with lid and a seat. The waste is burned or buried.
Bedroom: has bed
Living room: Has seats and entertainment.
