For free stuff, Google Scholar is a place to start; it's getting better all the time. http://scholar.google.com/advanced_scholar_search
If G-Scholar shows only the abstract is available free, I try searching regular Google for unique-sounding word strings from the abstract. Sometimes you get lucky and find that some prof has put the full article (or a draft) on her own web site.
Also, I've been surprised at the major medical journals (like NEJM, AJP, etc) that my local public library subscribes to in e-format, but they're probably on Ebsco, if you've already got a subscription to that. I have to log on thru the library's web page, but then I can get some full-text articles free. It's easier to search for them some other way first, though.
