If you're someone who enjoys free samples of anything from beauty products to sports events then SampleStuff.com is the website for you. At first glance the site looks amateur, but the longer you look at the site the more organized it becomes. This site is dedicated to offering samples or freebies to their visitors without any catch or sign up fee. This is possible as they generate revenue via ads on their page as well as affiliate links, so it doesn't cost anyone who visits to view, order, and receive samples from the many companies listed on here.

The top menu is organized into categories such as the FAQ (frequently asked questions), about (site creators), advertising, and tips. Each link is simple and straight forward, with short yet detailed information. The tips section lets visitors know what information they can expect to have to provide to get samples, but at the same time lets them know to avoid entering information such as a phone number. This alone lets visitors to the site know that the website is legitimate and not trying to steal information or money.

On the homepage of the site the center panel displays the most recent sample offers and as new offers are available they are added to this page. Older offers are archived and can be viewed via the "Previous Items" link at the bottom of the page. However, keep in mind that the older the offer is the less chance that it is still valid.

The site also categorizes various samples on the right hand side of the homepage to make it easier to look for specific samples. Don't expect thousands of offers at any one time as many expire fast and the site should be checked frequently. The category called "no longer available" is very large though and will give an idea of how many free items can be found through this website.

One thing to keep in mind though is that close to 100% of these offers are only available to residents of the United States who are over 18 years of age. The full details of each offer is usually provided in the link to the offer which is highlighted in blue on the SampleStuff.com homepage.

There is also a link on the homepage that says "Free Money" and this isn't a scam either. This gives some good info on sites that have points rewards that can often be converted into cash.

Overall this site does exactly what it advertises, it helps give its visitors free samples and other items without looking to scam or take anything in return.
