Is free the right price for you?

I get freebies in the mail everyday and I do mean everyday. Samples of Tide, deodorant, shampoo, body wash, dish washing soap, perfume, picture frames, food and even gift cards.  I know how I felt at first getting all these freebies, first would I use them and secondly how do I get more?  I have been a freebie person for several years.  There are several ways and blogs that post free samples.  Here are few to get you started:

www.walmart.com In store and then to freebies

These 2 blogs have helped me obtain so many good samples I check these sites everyday to see what new items they have listed for free.  I also like these 2 because they are on top of what is new to try.  There are also many companies that want you to try a new product they will send you a full size sample usually with a coupon on the items also and all they want is your feedback on the product, basically did you like it, what did you like about or did you not like it and what didn’t like about it.  

Walmarts' In store section offers free samples and trial offers on many items people use daily like, diapers, wipes, shampoo and many more, too many to list.  They change their samples less frequently than the blogs do but they do have plenty and they are sent fairly fast. 

I love to check out companies websites because there are so many different samples out there it is impossible to get them all from one place.  Protor Gamble offer samples and coupons all the time off household items most of which we use anyway, so if they want to send a free coupon I will use it, or a free sample I will take it, these days every little bit helps.

There is one thing I would like to warn you about when requesting free samples.  Stay away from any site that wants you to pay for shipping because if it is a real sample they cover all the cost.  I would not only not give them any information I would let others know of the scam.  There are people out there that want to get access to your credit card information and put you in the poor house.  Please don't be a victim of that.  Remember that free is free there are no strings attached unless they want your feedback.

Happy Free Sampling!
