Free Stuff

Lately, I've been signing up for a lot of free samples. A couple of weeks ago, I posted a bunch of links for websites that were offering samples of their products. Seemed to be a lot of feminine hygene products, but I figure, these days money is tight for everyone and every little bit helps.

If a small sample of shampoo gets you an extra hair washing or two...great! Right? Or you've been wanting to try a new product but really don't want to risk wasting money if the product doesn't turn out to be what you expected. Samples are wonderful things!!!

A while back, I discovered a website called MySavings.com. They are a site that provides information on Free Samples, Coupons, Online discounts, etc. For a while after I joined, I just deleted the emails without bothering to read them, let alone taking the time to sign up for the individual samples. But now, I try to set aside a little bit of time each week to check out their website to see if anything new is being offered.

Last week, I signed up for a FREE Snuggie. You know, the blanket with arms! I don't know anyone in my circle of friends that actually has one of these blankets so I am curious to see if they are any good. The commercials are a bit on the stupid side, but for a FREE one, I'll forgive them! The website does state that they will call for a quick survey after the Snuggie is received. I think I can handle that! I'll be sure to post back here once I receive it and let everyone know what I think of the Snuggie. If it's a hit, maybe there will be a few Snuggies under the Christmas tree this year! (Shhh! Don't tell!)

This week, MySavings.com provided information for FREE YoYo Lip Gloss. YoYo Lip Gloss asks that you follow them on Twitter and post a Tweet about them. Fill out the information "card" and provide the URL to your Twitter account so they can verify. They will then email a code or something for a free Lip Gloss mini. I followed and Tweeted just a few moments ago, but haven't gotten my email with the code yet.

Another FREE Lip Gloss offer, that I read about on MySavings.com was from Victoria's Secret. You can go here to print a coupon for a FREE Bra Fitting and Lip Gloss. I believe this offer is valid until Nov. 15. I haven't printed this out yet, since I am not sure if I'll be getting to the mall before then, but I wanted to be sure to share the information with y'all.

The last sample item that I'll share with you today is for FREE pancake mix. I received this information from MySavings.com too! SturdiWheat is giving away a FREE sample of their pancake mix. Call 1-800-201-9650 to receive 1 sample of pancake for FREE! Samples are currently: Buckwheat Pancake Mix, Original Pancake Mix, Traditional Shortcake Mix, Apple Crisp Topping Mix or Bread Pudding Mix. (I haven't called yet for our sample. I don't eat pancakes, so I'll let hubby decide what type he'd like to try.)

These are just a few of the offers that are available from MySavings.com. I couldn't possibly list them all. But I seriously recommend that if you aren't already signed up to get their emails, go and sign up now! It's FREE to join and you can get FREE stuff! What could be wrong with that??

I'll be sharing this post with Life As Mom and her Frugal Friday blog carnival.
