Do your surf around the internet for free samples of products? I find myself doing this sometimes. I have gotten alot of free little things from doing this. I have received laundry detergent, toothpaste, perfume, deoderant and even some food. Its amazing what people will send you for free. Its great that they do this because some people are so tight on money and its a great way to save sometimes.

Since I live in Mexico and the postal service is almost nonexistent I don't get anything. However I found a cool site and get on it often and send stuff to my kids and mother. They are always telling me they received something. I use one called twisted branches. It works really well. My family has gotten perfume, mens cologne, Tshirts, a memory stick, laundry detergent, shampoo, cereal samples and much, much more! Getting on the site and sending stuff home makes me feel closer to my family and helps me with the urge to buy something. I don't have to buy a thing and still my family knows that I am thinking of them.

Wow that is great! We are from the Philippines and we don't usually have those... In fact I haven't heard of that here. I think that its really great to get free stuff since I'm also a queen of cheapness! Hehe! Just ask my boyfriend borg! -cherry =)

I love samples and find them to come in handy all the time. Samples are great for weekend trips away, for vacations for guests visiting your home, etc. Or for when you run out of the real thing! A sample size will tide you over until you can get to the store. I list free samples, and good shopping deals: sales and Buy 1, Get 1 Free on my blog at www.mytotalbeauty.com Let me know how you like it if you visit! Have a great day!

Yes I have done that a lot. There is a local forum that just has one thread on freebies and some have been very good. Some of the freebies can be fantastic others can be rubbish, but then you can't complain when it's for free. One of the best freebies I have recieved was a Guinness poker set.

Sure I have. I recently got a mini sample of popcorn which I made for my husband - buttery garlic. They sometimes also send a coupon with the sample to encourage you to buy their product... and I have bought products after trying the sample. It's a great way to get customers!

I have filled the many forms and applied in many online sites. But not even a single site has send me a sample. That may be due to high the mailing charge . So left the habit.

I often look for free samples. In the past I have gotten all the things you've mentiond plus I've gotten olive oil, cereal, snack bars and probably a lot more. I think that there should be a coupon in with the free sample to encourage us to go buy the product. Every few times to you get a coupon in with the sample.

I do. I get some e-mails for freebies and always fill them out. It's just fun to get home and have small surprises waiting in the mailbox. I just got a couple of tea lights which smelled very nice as well as some wrinkle cream samples. If it's something I don't use, I bring it to work and someone usually has a use for it.

I live in Canada and I have sent for the odd freebie when I know I can use it. You are lucky living in the United States you can get lots more freebies than here.

As you are from Florida you will get free samples. But for we Indians, it is very difficult to get free samples. I have registered with many, but not received anything yet. Even you will get lot of surveys by which you can make some extra income. Enjoy
