If you have your own plane, it may be possible to find a CFI in your area that will fly with you for free. I have a couple friends that teach at schools, but do training for free on the side just for the additional hours to get to their 1500 mark. I personally wouldn't go around asking for that, but befriend a few instructors and see where it goes.
If you have your own plane, you will have tons of people that want to be your friend all of a sudden.
Good luck!
