One of my favorite perks of the internet is the mass amount of freebies I can order. When I’m in the mood and have a few minutes, I type “free samples”, “freebies”, or “free ___” into my search bar. Each time I am able to find get free stuff that I haven’t ordered before.
What do I do with my freebies? I let them save me money and try new products for free. I don’t waste money on buying a bottle of shampoo I might not like, instead I request a sample first from the manufacturer and make sure I will be satisfied.
At the end of the month when your budget is empty free samples come in handy. I save my free cereal samples and snack samples for when we run out of the regular stuff. I order samples of toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, and toiletries that come in handy when I need to wait until payday to make a purchase. This may sound nuts to you, but samples allow me to stay within budget for the month, put off purchases until needed items go on sale, and get lots of mail!
What kind of freebies are available? All kinds!
- -Cosmetics
- -Toothpaste, shampoo, dental floss, diapers, and other toiletries
- -Cereal, dried boxed foods, candies, and non perishable items
- -Office supplies, calendars, pens, stickers, postcards, stationary
- -Pet foods and supplies
- -Things you don’t really need (but are still fun) like key chains, magazines, books, ebooks, cookbooks, posters, kids stuff, and other goodies.
One of my favorite freebies was from Betty Crocker and House Party. I signed up through the House Party website to host a Betty Crocker party and received 10 Betty Crocker spoons, 10 fridge grocery pads, a cookie recipe book, 2 packages of cookie mix, a $10 gift card for baking supplies, a Betty Crocker apron, and more. That was all in one box, and on the same day I received a HUGE freebie package from Aveeno Baby and Bzzz.
The next time you have a few minutes (or an hour as freebies are addictive), search for freebies that would allow you to save a little money. Find websites for your favorite products and request a sample by email or phone. You may be surprised at the goodies that will come your way. As always leave a comment if you have a spare moment!
I know that I do, and I can bet that the rest of you do too. No one can turn down something free, which is the mass appeal of
