It is possible. However, such a NO FEE transaction with small amount of Bitcoin involved could delay your transaction. Your transaction might stay unconfirmed for a long time.

Here is basic idea to make a no-fee transaction:- Split your one of your unspent\_transaction\_output into two part. UTXO\_1 and UTXO\_2
- Send UTXO\_1 to receiver's address; send UTXO\_2 to your own address
- Make sure that UTXO\_1 + UTXO\_2 == your unspent\_transaction\_output

You could setup a [cronjob](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron) to run [`createrawtransaction`](https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-reference#createrawtransaction), [`sendrawtransaction`](https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-reference#sendrawtransaction), etc. commands monthly.
