Is there a product you've wanted to try out? And no you're not going to get a free sample of the newest hybrid SUV you want... but maybe a new shampoo, or non alcoholic beverage?
Well companies often offer free samples of these products allowing you to try it before you buy it! Usually along with the free sample, a coupon comes with it... not always, but more times than not!
Walmart offers free samples, Costco sometimes, Sam's Club... you can also find MANY sites that tell you about Free Samples. I follow many of them on Facebook... one of my favorites is I love Free Things http://www.ilft.com/ I follow Vlad as he posts on Facebook about free samples or giveaways.
Now here is one thing that really irks me personally about giveaways on Facebook... ya, its a little frustrating when the companies website doesn't work because of the millions of people hitting their server at the same time trying to get whatever they are offering... but that's not what really irks me... what irks me is all the people BITCHING and blasting the wall of that company that they can't get whatever.. HELLO people.. they are offering something FREE... they DON'T have to do that... so stop your whining and bitching and stop being so rude! I mean seriously you will have to check it out sometime.. People writing F*** You "Name of Company"... how childish and really stupid... it's a giveaway, meaning some people will get what they are offering and most people won't. Get it?!
One recent giveaway I did was Petrol Jeans... thank you again to my over 20 friends (the required number of people to say I sent them) I won a brand new pair of their jeans!! Score, I was so happy!! Up until the other day when I got a free pair of Jeans at Target from my coupon shopping, I only had one pair!
I haven't won a whole lot on Facebook, a $50 gift card to Amazon (again thank you to all my friends for helping me with that), the jeans and a Tide to Go pen! I have received lots of free product coupons, free product samples and amounts off coupons.
Wonder what I do with all those free samples? Most of the items are personal care, so shampoo, condition, lotion, toothpaste, deodorant, that kind of thing... I use them in my hospital bag. They are perfect for travelling too, so if you are going on a trip throw them in your bag and you are set! No need to go to the travel section of the grocery store and buy expensive little travel sized things (well unless you have a coupon to make them free)!
So go do it, see what you can win, and get for free, its a lot of fun, and can save you some money too!
My FREE Petrol Jeans!
thanks for blogging about the jeans! I only caught bits and pieces of how you got them. And I LOVE them! So cute!
