I like to get freebies, too. I have gotten the jelly belly bean freebie, as well as some free coupons and a few free samples of stuff. I don't get them very often, because I'm not very diligent about looking for them on the internet, but I like to get them in the mail. I think I'll go look for some now. I like to go to the freebie message board on iVillage.

I love Freebies...especially cosmetics and soaps. I just go to soap and cosmetic companies... online, and I ask if they offer samples.

I love freebies. I have never ordered any off of the internet before though. Most ones that I get are just free samples i the mail. Once in awhile I recieve a survey that says if you fill it out they will send you free samples and coupons. So far I have gotten sampls of tylenol, advil, mints and gum, face creams and lots of neat stuff. I may try ordering some samples online.

I like getting freebies! depending what it is of course. Every now and then I take a look through the freebie pages to see what looks interesting.

Oh yes samples at the store and coupons for free things.
You can go to Walmart.com and sign up for free samples.

Yes most certainly and at one time was falling over them as I was receiving so many. LOL
I actually belong to tweetys, emc and alphalink of course but also do a search from time to time to see what is available. Also if I see a new product and am not too sure about it, I will contact the company to see if they will send me a free sample. About half of them will, because it is a potential new customer for them. :)
Generally a lot of the freebies I get end up at the school some friends' son goes to. They add them into the raffle baskets which gives the winner a few more bits and pieces plus people generally spend a little bit more if they see all the extras they are getting. Sometimes if it is something that I will need and use myself, then I will ask for a second sample for the school. Usually that is not a problem with most of them, although some are not so happy with the idea.
Freebies include shampoo, conditioner, mascara, make-up, perfume, condiments, sweeteners, pens, books, seasoning, curry paste was last week, heat pads, bandaids, foot scrub, stickers to name just a few things I have received in the last year.
Any of the Aussies here who want details of the sites I have mentioned, send me a PM and I will be more than happy to let you know. :)

Another couple for you nikki. Ozfree is another one, but what they have can vary slightly and you will find most of that stuff on tweetys anyway.
Another one is www.hotdockets.com.au and you can print off the dockets for things in your area. These are the ones that are often on the back of the supermarket dockets, but there are sometimes others as well.

Wow ossie,you have received some great free stuff! I like the idea of giving things to schools to add to their raffles! I hadn't thought of contacting a company for a free sample,that's a great idea too.I think it might be time for me to do another freebie search! :)
