CFA Level 1 Looking for Resources To Prepare Cheaply

Hi,

I haven't bought Schweter Notes (Which seems to be a popular one across all Levels) but I came across this source for Level 1 prep: IFT Notes (ift.world/notes/). Is the level and detail of content considered enough to pass the L1 exam? Please tell me what is the general consensus on IFT. It seems to be free. Schweter Notes starts with a price tag of $399, and I am trying to understand how much more useful is it relative to IFT   

Trying to save money as everything seems to be costing an arm and leg, so if anyone has any tips on how to prepare effectively and economically for the CFA, pls let me know. Thanks!!!
