I mentioned early on that I will tell you of my experiences with so-called and for-real freebie sites. I may be a bit slow on the go sometimes but here's the scoop.
Free stuff sites are numerous, and many offers really are free. By clicking a link or two, you will soon be blessed with more free stuff than you can possibly use. And, if you're like me, it is always fun to get something, however small, for free in your mailbox. Realize the company who sends the free item(s) wants your repeat business and you will get follow-up flyers, e-mails, etc. There are so many, many products to buy, they're trying to help you pick theres. (Duh!) Know that you are now on their hit list and they'll keep after you and your business.
Food companies that send out samples usually give you a coupon to further entice you to spend your money on their product line. If its a food item you wanted to try, or use everyday, more power to you! I've gotten snacks and breakfast cereals, coffee, tea, candy (I didn't need), and slim-down or bulk up products. I've also gotten otc drug trial packs (to lessen symptoms of ailments I really have), personal care items and more. If the product is too heavy too mail cheaply, then you may get a coupon to try it for free. Go ahead, what have you got to lose?
Well the answer to that question is your sanity! Getting e-mails you can mark junk and forget is different than all the paper you will soon have on your hands when you start signing up for free stuff. Be sure to recycle all that you can so as to make sure your good fortune is not adding to the death of a planet. (OK, so yes. I am trying to be environmental-savvy.) Also, if you can't use a freebie, pass it on to someone who can. The church, local homeless shelter, and other worthy organizations may be very glad to recieve the free stuff you've decided you have no need for.
I guess I'm just attempting to say that you can get lots of free stuff. But rest assured, they are not going to send you high ticket items or family-sized servings. If you see a "get a free laptop" come-on, run the other way. You are about to be inundated with offers for free stuff you really don't want or need. And, steer clear if they want to charge you a "small shipping and handling fee." Free is free. They make tons of money selling they're product. Let them pay the shipping to get you to try it.
Here's a brief list of some of the free stuff sites I check out daily in no particular order:
Freaky Freddie: http://www.freakyfreddies.com/
Freefly's: http://www.freeflys.com/MoreFreeSamples.php
Freebie King: http://www.freebieking.com/
Just Free Stuff: http://www.justfreestuff.com/
Free Stuff Daily: http://www.freestuff-daily.com/index.html

Mind you, I am not necessarily recommending these, just trying to give you some help. You can decide for yourself which, if any, you want to hear from daily by e-mail. Have fun and happy surfing.
