Title: Free Samples
Post by: jiuchan on January 03, 2014, 11:45:05 pm
Do you guys get any free samples in the mail? Like Free samples of socks, tide, etc.

What were the requirements when you decided to sign up to get some? What did you need to do? Please let me know!!

Just google free samples and a list of sites will come up. I would include the links to them but I think that's against the rules.  Usually you don't have to join a membership or anything, you just sign up and include your name and the address you want the samples sent to.  I have 2 free sample drawers full of pain medicine, razors, and stuff like that.  I love it!!!! Free samples and coupons (for things I actually use) are a few of my life's simplest joys lol  :party:

That sounds interesting...

I sometimes see promotions for free samples on Facebook Product Pages that I sign up for, but I didn't think of signing up on an alternate website for a lot of free samples!

I may have to try this as it would be great to get things in the mail that you need.

I get tons of free samples, from toothpaste, lotion, body wash, shampoo, etc.  I honestly can say out of 6 days getting mail I probably get something at least 4 out of 6 days.  Just type free samples in search engine and pick from the list.  It's fun, easy, and always free!  Mostly you will not get full size things, but I figure free is free and I can use the smaller sizes just as well!

I once got some type of chicken helper free sample for completing a survey.  It was actually pretty decent.

Occasionally I get free samples. Walmart offers free samples from time to time. No requirements really, just fill out your info.

I've gotten some great freebies on-line before.  There was once I signed up for a free coupon for what I thought was a free sample of dog food and it turned out to be a free 25 lb bag that was delivered to the house plus a coupon for another free bag.  (The food sells for over $30 a bag.)  I donate the free pet food to the local shelters---if you should see freebies for pet stuff and don't have pets...just put them in a box & donate to the shelters...there's always a homeless pet that would be so appreciative to have them!!!   :cat: :dog: :heart:

I signed up for free samples in a couple of places.  Only place I've EVER received any samples from was Proctor & Gamble.  You might want to check them out if you're interested in their products.

I don't get free samples very often, but periodically I do see certain promotions mentioned on forum sites that redirect me to Facebook or the manufacturing site for offerings and I try to take advantage of them.

There was an offer on FC a month or so ago called Pinchme that you sign up for and get free samples and give feedback on them. I just got another sample in the mail today for hand lotion. Not sure if the offer is still out there or not since I completed it, I wouldn't be able to see it.

I love getting free samples in the mail.  I wish I could find more.  Most of mine come from AllYou Magazine website.

I have got stuff in the past.  Samples are not as common as they use to be.  You need to be careful and if it sounds too good to be true then it is.  I was going to sign up for one but researched the site first and it was actually located in the middle east.

Also there are more people looking for free stuff.  So either the samples go really quick or companies get tired of people wanting stuff for nothing and they don't offer the samples as much.  I am having a really hard time and anything like that would help me.  But there are millions of others in the same situation or that are just cheap and expect these big companies to give them stuff for nothing so they just don't do it.  Or they find ways to cheat the companies.  I remember a woman on a board who said she gets the free samples sent to her house and like 9 other addresses.  I am just really careful about where I put my name and address.  And you have to think about what you are signing up for.  Like the Nike thing a few years ago where somebody set up a thing and said just send your old nasty worn out shoes to Nike (any name) and Nike would send you a brand new pair of tennis shoes.  Yeah right. lol.  And it was a hoax but Nike got all kinds of nasty worn out shoes they had to dispose of.

I get excited when I get something in the mail free, even when I forgot that I signed-up for it.  Nothing like free

Ive been getting freebies for years now. Today I got two full sized Wheat Thins Holidays edition, that they were giving away a couple weeks ago on twitter

If you have facebook, like FreebieNinja and VonBeau they are the best ones to follow as they post all day freebies.

Just an FYI if you see those freebies in an offer, if youve worked on GPT sites before you will know what I mean, those do not come, they are nothing but spam, stay away.

Like I said follow the two people above, and you will be getting freebies daily. These are usually for US residents only. Freebies tend to start showing up 6 weeks after requesting

I love getting free samples in the mail. I have a whole box full of a bunch of different stuff. I get them on a bunch of different sites. I first went to google and typed in free samples by mail and picked which sites I liked. I always go on vonbeau. That one is my favorite.

Love getting free things in the mail.  Even if its just samples....  that way I can see if I actually like something before buying the larger container of the item.

I like "julies freebies",,,  I have been getting many things from items I have signed up for on that sight.  I found it on facebook one day,,, while I was scrolling through things lol

Check it out,,,  you might like and find something.  :)

For the free samples usually i go to site to site sign up for them. There are a bunch of legit ones on the net and some that are not. If you want to really find some good ones research freebies through youtube. That's how i found sites like vonbeau & hunt4freebies. The freebies range from small samples to full sized items. Ps sometimes freebees can take up to three months to get to you or weeks depending on the company giving them out just thought id let you know

I don't get free samples, but after reading some of these comments, I think I'll try.  My daughter has often gotten free magazines, though.

I look for them daily  for the past couple of years...sometimes they're great ...other times not so great, but they are all free!  I've filled a couple of shoe boxes with them...They're  better products with name brands I could never afford to buy. :present:

Only on occasion. Nothing is automatic for me. I go to dedicated sites to scope out any freebies and that can be anything from manufacturer coupons for sample food/drinks, detergent, etc.

I used to get some; here and there, but lately i am too afraid to sign up for anything b/c of the lists you get added to. I would rather just buy the stuff!

There are many free sample sites. All you have to do is search for samples on google or any of your other search engines. The only requirements would be your home address and email address sometimes a phone number.
