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!
