Free Stuff

I was skeptical you could really get free stuff, but the Internet is a wondrous thing. I've been receiving goodies in the mail from walmart.com for a good month now, including the Nivea Smooth Indulgence Hand Cream. It's a great marketing gimmick--I'm sold on the hand cream and will buy the regular size once I'm done with my sample. The products usually take four to six weeks to get to you from the time you sign up. You have to give personal information, including your name, address AND your birthdate, but for the last one I've given several different dates (never my real one), and still received the products. The site says they don't keep track of that information, so I figured I'd check it and see. Seems they don't, or if they do, they don't care.

The Wal-mart freebie page is at http://walmart.triaddigital.com/Free-Samples.aspx. I've signed up to receive cereal and lotions, mostly. Sure, they're sample sizes, but they're the perfect size to take with you to on a trip or to the gym. Plus, you get to try new products!

Here's another site I haven't tried but they include stores and restaurants that sometimes offer printable coupons: http://www.bargainist.com/freebies/
Some of the most recent offers include a Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners sample, free taco from Taco Bell, and free sippy cup from Juicy Juice.

Got any other freebie sites you want to share?
