These days, everyone needs all the help they can get when it comes to saving money. It seems that it gets harder and harder to find things that help out with the budget. So I've done most of the dirty work for you so that you can save more, and spend less time doing it. I have compiled a long list of websites where you can get free samples.

Don't be skeptical, free samples really do help out when they start accumulating in your mailbox. I have not had to buy deodorant (and yes, I use deodorant every day), hand lotion, or coffee in the past 2 years thanks to these samples.

They are great for when you go on a trip, or just to supplement you cabinets current products, and extend your money even further.

My top five Sample Sites list:

Wal-Mart:
http://walmart.triaddigital.com/Free-Samples.aspx
At this site, Wal-Mart offers a place on their website where you can order free samples of items that have just recently hit Wal-Mart shelves.

Dove:
http://www.dove.us/real_beauty/offers.asp
Here, you can order free samples of some of their products. And believe me, they are definitely worth the lengthy form you fill out. Dove does require a few extra items about yourself that most other site do not ask, but even though it seems like a longer form, it will only take you about 30 seconds or less extra to fill it out.

Sunsilk:
www.GetHairapy.com
Here, you can order samples of Sunsilks great shampoo. I use the shampoo myself, so the samples work out great when I'm going on a trip and I don't have to take the whole giant bottle, or buy a travel size one at the store.

Free Feminine products
http://www.startsampling.com/sm/24450/captureAddre ss.iphtml?item=24450&source=beinggirl
At this site you can order free feminine care products, and they definitely help out. With the rising prices in these items, you can get a lot of them for free, and they will save you a LOT of money.

Oil of Olay:
http://olay.com/samplesandoffers/
At this site Olay offers samples of some of their best products. Sometimes, they aren't offering anything, so if they aren't when you look, check back in a few weeks to see if they are offering anything new.

So those are my top sites, but here are a few more that you may want to look at:
