When you go to the malls, and even on train stations right sometimes there would be samples being given away?
I would typically get samples like shampoo, facial creams, some vitamins, and pain killers. :)
so when you are being handed a piece of glossy paper by a sample girl/boy would you normally get it or deny reaching out to get the free stuff?

Hi. chiyosan. If it is something that I can use, I will take it. If it something that I don't really need, I will not take it. I used to take just any and every little sample that comes my way. I no longer take it because I end up having too much of junk of free things that I don't need.

I would snag it up if I could! Usually we only get free samples via mail or the grocery store. The only time anything is free in the mall is to reel you in to buy something in their store. Though on a Saturday in the early afternoon one can get a nice snack hitting up all the sample people, I'm not sure if they still do that but I used to know a few people who'd do that regularly!

It depends a bit on what it is. If it is something I need or think I will find a use for, I will take it, but if not, I will leave it for someone else who really wants it to take instead. I try not to get too much clutter into my house, so this is why.

Most of the time I don't take free stuffs because I won't be able to use them anyway when I get home with the exception of free food samples because I can eat it right away.

I'm taking anything as well !!! As long as its for FREE... wee so loved freebies no matter what it is, who cares what it is, lol for I know it has some use. Occasionally, me and my friends drop to a mall and mind you we really do make line for free stuff hehe, geez imagine when we get out from the mall were almost full already. hehe

I normally take the stuff, but never use it unless I am sure that the product is well-known. That's because sometimes people also do mean stuff by giving us samples to eat or drink, then they ask us to drink or eat it instantly and we fall unconscious, then they will rob us.
Just be extra careful.

Free stuff is great! It does not matter if it is shampoo, snacks in the grocery store, or adds.... there is not much that is truly free anymore.
I will take it and think...wow, this is a score!!
