Are You A Freebie Fanatic?  

Hi kar295rocks,

Thanks for responding. I would think the same, "who doesn't like them", but I guess maybe some people don't *need* them, couldn't be bothered or don't know how to get them. That's handy having a relative to accept them for you in another country. I imagine Canada residents having a ball with freebies. There always seems to be so much more available for US and Canada.

Fiona.

Yes, indeed! I think it is the USA residents who are more benefited than the Canadians! But, anyway I will be satisfied with what I have!

Hi homeshoppers,

Thanks for your response. That's a great freebie! I have tried to get preview tickets but you gotta get in really early or they're gone like *that*.

Fiona.

Hi sunny!,

Well, I do visit freebie sites and that's where I get maybe 50% of my freebies from, but I am not going to mention where here in my discussion. I am wary of violating terms and stepping on the wrong toes! But they could be freebies from anywhere - companies for market research, at supermarkets or shopping malls, stuck to magazines or in the middle of a newspaper, whatever. A freebie is a freebie. You don't have any in India - that's a surprise.
I once got a pot of mousse foundation (makeup) a couple of years ago, that's long gone now. So my picture probably just shows the mascara I got free...the rest I do have to pay for. I got a really cool mascara last week, normally costs at least €10 here, if not more. It's battery operated and vibrates LOL. But it is mascara....nothing else.

Fiona.

Battery operated and Vibrates toooooo i get you---must be really busy using it

US and UK---population is really less compared to India---so they can experiment with their goods to attract consumers which doesnt work in here---if at they try to implement it---they would go for a bail out plan the next day----it isn't easier to introduce such offers in a country which is known to be the second highest population in the world lol.If you have any plans to introduce them---you're welcome---do go for insurance before starting

but it be good if they start offering freebies in our country * Smile *

Actually, no, I haven't even opened the packaging off it yet because I am still using another one I got as a freebie! It sure will come in handy though

Hi fjaril,

Awh, did you miss me?
There are freebies for men out there, you know, shaving stuff, spot cream and not to forget the miracle hair stuff for balding....I could go on.
Never been lucky enough to have a free holiday - now wouldn't that be nice.I do get them scratch card things in the post, and so does my husband. You know the ones where if you match three identical items and then you have to ring a premium number to get your code for whatever symbols you have, this call costs about €7-€10 as nine times out of ten yours doesn't get called out till the end of the call. You send that away thinking you've won a holiday, that's it and then you find out you have to become a silver or gold member and need to fork out more dosh before you finally get your holiday that for us is usually the city of the red light district!

Fiona.

HAHAHA,, Where my wife and I stayed one night and climbed three flights of stairs in a very old hotel to get to a small room and crawled into our little bed after our little shower. you mean there??
Breakfast was great and, you guessed it, FREE!( well, included)

Freebies for men.. noo thanks,, I already am suspicious that you think I am a balding, spotted, hairy faced, Swede. I think I am 'good to go', really, as I am. Neurosis isn't exactly my strong suit.

OH, I just remembered! Our ICA grocery store nearby has changed over to the 'handy scan your own goods and report at the special checkout' system that has been around for a while but new to THEM. AND if they decide to check you manually too ( in case you are cheating) which, of course, we never do, then you get a 'generic', nice size, chocolate bar and, man, is it good!!

SEE?? Being honest pays!! A real freebie!!

Oh so you've been *there*, but with your wife....so of course you were on your bestest behaviour
No, I wasn't implying any of those things, I am sure you are God's gift - I only meant that as a generalisation of the freebies for men that I have happened across. I'd never insinuate such a thing, remember, I'm an too!
Of course you would never want to give them a reason to frisk you! Honesty IS the best policy!!

well, yes, that time.. I wanted her to see the lovely ladies, as well, behind those big windows and in their white little things.
A wonderful city really and we were really there to visit family in the next city.

O yes, I have a few 'godly gifts' now.. greying at the temples and wrinkling beside the eyes and a 10 kronor pair of reading glasses to help me read fine print..And you being an angel?? Was there ever a doubt?

....Hmmmm, I dunno?!!

hahaha

Well I must be the Queen of Freebies then!
I used to get nappies too when mine were needing them, and sometimes I'll get sanitary towels or pantyliners from Bodyform and Always. The odd teabag and coffee sample too. But mostly it's cosmetics.

I doubt the sites I use will work for you as you are in the US, same as the ones you mentioned won't for me. The ones I use are for Ireland and the UK. I will pm them to you in just a minute, ok?
Thanks for responding cream97,

Fiona.

Hi saphrina,

How are you?
I do, I love freebies especially when it's something really useful and full-sized. I sure will enjoy them for you too, and thanks for responding. It's good to see you online

Fiona.

Thanx, i appreciate it. TATA

Hi artistry!,

Thanks for stopping by to comment. Yes, completing surveys and trying out new products is fun. I work with one company who are actually international, called Clixresearch, who have sent me toilet roll and an expensive pot of moisturiser to try out. I am supposed to be doing another trial for them on some kind of food for children but I haven't received it yet.

Fiona.

Hi summer77!,

Thanks for responding!. Well, it sure sounds like you have had a good bit of luck with freebies. Whoever said that nothing in life is free? - they're wrong!

Fiona.

Hi koalatbs,

Thanks for responding. Wow, that's a really good idea and very helpful to others. I just took a look at your link and am wishing I was in the US! I was thinking of incorporating a freebies secion on my website too, I have nearly 40 members but most of them are outside the UK and Ireland, so wouldn't apply to them. It is harder to come across international freebies.

I am familiar with Aveeno - my youngest has eczema and we bought a kind of body wash for him it's good stuff alright.

Fiona.

Hi MrKennedy,

Thanks for your response. That was a very useful freebie indeed, and a generous one at that - 12 samples! I wouldn't have assumed otherwise, about whether it was for men or not!

Fiona.
