Title: Free Samples
Post by: o2bnocn on March 03, 2016, 08:07:52 am
A couple of years ago I used to get many free samples. Now I don't see too many offers or places giving free samples. I still get a few from time to time. How about you?

Don't go to many stores... I know my Sams Club have food samples and also a sample vending machine (the one tht scans ur membership card and dispenses candy, vitamins, snacks, detergent pods etc)...  The Korean store also have fruits, korean bbq sauce with meat, and dumplings

So did I, but these days it does not seem to be many places that offer those. I see a lot of sites on the  web that say if you sign up you can receive free samples of different types of products, but I am a little leery of that so have never tried.

Same here.  Since 2000 I have got a ton of stuff.  I wrote everything down in a notebook and then hilighted when I received.  These days there are not many offers of free samples and even if I find the offer I don't ever receive it.

   I know what you mean! I used to get "full-size bottles of expensive perfumes" by mail by requesting them online.

I belong to this thing Pinchme and every Tuesday or every other Tuesday you can pick samples of what they have and they will mail it to you. I like the website. You should try it.

Many companies will still send you a free sample (or a coupon for one) if you are willing to write to them. Although they don't tend to send out the free samples unsolicited like they used to do, they still try to please people that they know are customers of theirs. Esp. if you mention how you like one of their older products but haven't tried their new one that they just put out on the market. Also, some surveys will send you samples to try out, but with the condition of having to fill another survey after you have tried the product.

The only store I know that does free samples is Costco and Sam's I love going there and trying things most of the time I like it and buy it.

Wal-mart used to give free samples if you filled out the small forms online, but I rarely see them offering any anymore.

I love free samples.  don't get them nearly as often as I used to as they're harder to find but every now and then I'll spend an evening doing searches for them.

I have seen a couple ads for that recently. One on this site, I think. it's "Mom's" something or other.

I do run across them elsewhere now and then, but with the nutso economy, not as many.

Hope you find some.

I used to get tons of free samples, but not so much anymore.  Pinch Me is a good place, Walmart and Target sonetimes have free samples.

I have never tried free samples before. Do you have to buy something in order to register or apply for their offers? I thought once you sign up for it that you will eventually get a lot of spam emails or mails. How does it work?

I been a member of an online free sample site called PinchMe for several months now, but I don't really like it that much. All I've ever received so far are Gold Bond lotion samples and cat food. Where are the goodies?!...The chocolate, lipstick, perfume samples, etc? The fun stuff...Every now and again I would get other little random samples like a drug or a breathe right nasal strip. Booooooooooooooooooooo... However if anyone is interested here is my referral code:  76SB8 (Not sure how it suppose to be used. I'm familiar with referral links, not codes.)

Lately I have been getting almost one a day.  For a long time didn't find hardly any but then got on a different sample daily newsletter and I have been getting more.  Good luck to you in finding samples that are good for you.
