I think we all do, I know I do. Its fun to open up the mail box and see what free treat I get today. I sign up for lots of free samples, by the time I get them, I have forgotten what I had signed up for. So it is usually a surprise with what kind of sample I am getting. I am going to post 3 sites that have free samples, I am asking for others to post their favorite sites. If you don't have a favorite, feel free to check out the ones posed here. Happy sampling......... www.twistedbranches.com www.absurdlycool.com www.freeflys.com

Yes it is fun getting little treats in the mail, I have sent away for just a few as I am in Australia so there isn't as many as probably in the US, its a bit like Christmas isn't it and yes I have forgotten a couple of times when I have applied for samples..nice little treat...

If you go to http://reg.mail-scjohnson.com/regpaid=386906276&SOURCE=DIR_WEBSITE_CHJ&n=401 and sign up, the will send a newsletter and the opportunity for all kinds of freebies. the other day I got a package from them with a package of 25! cleaning cloths for wood, plastic, electronics etc. Not an ordinary tease me sample. With it I also got some coupons. This was from a July offer, so it included bug and wasp repellant - rather untimely in New York in October..but it was stillworth the effort. Thanks for the other sites.

Viky I love to get free stuff, but I don't like filling out all those frms, that is why I am not interested in Cashcrate, you can make some money there but who wants to fill out all those forms. I am going to email you so you can get a free $25.00, I just got mind.

Hello Polly, many thanks for sharing those sites with us. Although I won’t receive any samples or treats from them as I live in a small island, it is good to know what is going on in the other side of the world.

I love freebies and sometimes it's fun opening them...like Christmas presents ...I have gone through different websites and forums to find them and I post them on my blog as well and the best one I like so far is from Walmart they always mail it to your door and it's great...

Walmart is a good one, I like the fact that you don't even have to put an email address down. I sign my mom up for the Walmart ones too. Some of the samples are perfect for traveling.

How is Mom, doing I hope she is better.

Hi Marcie, most if not all the freebie sites listed here are free. Check some of them out, you will be surprised. I sign up or stuff all the time, I am always getting samples in the mail. I never send for stuff where you have to pay for postage.

I have been into freebies for years. Before the intenet, I used to refund. I saved everything. I got our first gas grill for free with labels. I got our first gas powered weed wacker for free. This is just a couple of things. I love freebies. I am a frugal person by nature. http://www.startsampling.com has a forum and they have lots of freebies as well as the free samples on their homepage. Each day that you visit the site, you earn 10 points toward a free gift. http://www.bigbigforums.com/ is another great one. I love this one. http://www.bigbigsavings.com/ Are you a bzzagent? if you are not, send me your regular email address and I will send you an invitation to join. It is great. I have received so much nice expensive things from them to try out and tell others about. I have more sites but I am not at home.If you need more, remind me when I get home. :)

Thanks for the new sites. I will send you my regular email, I would love an invite to bzzagent, I have never heard about that site. I love getting free stuff. Have fun on your Holiday Trip. I do some surveys and they sometimes send me stuff to try out. Being fruggle is a way of life.

Walmart.com is still my favorite sample site. You don't get email from them and you 'do' get the things you sign up for. I am checking out the ones that you listed, though. I love getting things in the mailbox.

I love the Walmart site too, you can also find on these sites, samples that come from Walmart that are not listed on their site. Happy Sampling.

I have listed these sites in my folders. I love to get free stuff and now I have three sites I can go to to get some. I had not realized that there were sites where a person could go to to request free samples. This is a pretty cool discussion. Thanks for posting it.

I love to get free samples, etc., in the mail without the hassle of surveys, "offer participation", etc., so these are some of my favorites: www.yesall4free.com www.afreebieempire.com http://idlchilleddreams.com/freebies www.shop4freebies.com I also should mention (just in case you don't already know about it), that Winzy is a nice option for free items, too. Today I won a $5 gift certificate to Amazon.com just for utilizing their search engine. If it sounds interesting, feel free to check them out. My invitation link is: www.winzy.com/willnpatty If you get someone to sign up under you, when they win a prize, you win the same prize! Easy and painless free stuff. Enjoy your freebies! Pleady1

I don't know if the sites are good for out of the USA. I hope so, I only like the sites that have no strings attached, free should be free.

I usually just check out Walmart's free samples section on their website. I just sign up for whatever sounds good, and then get surprised in my mailbox when they show up. Kinda brightens my day to get something in the mail other than a bill.

Getting good stuff in the mail other then a bill brightens my day up too. When you get a chance I invite you to check out the links I have posted. I have them saved in my favorites. Whenever I feel like it, I will go and sign up or a few samples. I usually get something most days. It saves money and space in the suitcase when traveling.
