I do!
I just came across this great site with a pretty good sized list of freebies.
http://www.freestufffriend.com/
I've already signed up for several things that should be showing up in my mailbox in the next few weeks.
Do you like freebies? Do you have any links to share?

If it's free it's for me Ldy, That is really what got me so involved on the internet. I used to just send email to family, and play games on game zone, then one day I discovered a site called Zenas freebies, her site changed my life, totally. I had no idea so much existed for free. Now I have a freecycle site, I still do Zenas and she is still one of my favorites, freelancebyu, is another site I mod on, we have freebies and so much more, GDA's (good deal alerts), which is sales we have found, Maken Baken, work at home opps, frugal recipes, coupons, internet tips, just all kinds awesome things. I also do product trials, so I have my hands into a bunch of different things, and love all of it.

Oh wow, you ARE a busy little bee!
I love freecycle too. It really is a good program both for finding things you might need, and for keeping things out of the landfill that have another life.

Hey I don't corner the market on using free, as a matter of fact I encourage it. With prices of everything the way they are, anyway, I can save money, or help others to save, I am all for it.

I found a site for free reusable shopping bags from coupons.com. I ended up ordering 4 bags and paid just over $8 for them but you can get just one bag and pay s/h of $2.49. Must have a paypal account thou cause I think that's the only way they take payment. I just received my bags today and I love them. Here is the link if you want one or more of your own...

Yea, that's the pic of one of them. Take your average plastic grocery bag like from Jewel or kmart...they are a tad bit bigger than that but with a wide bottom. These bags are even recyclable so they must be made of plastic or something. Sure don't feel like plastic thou. They have a nylon feel to them.

Oh and it's standing up on it's own with the bottom panel in place.

Cool! Is that a picture of the one you got? I just looked at the site and you can't really see how big they are from the picture they show, and no way to enlarge.
Can you tell me how big it is? I sure would appreciate it!

Wow, that's quite a list! I used to look for them quite often, but got away from it. When I saw the one I sent on another site this morning, I had to look at it. It's quite extensive, several pages long.
Heading to check out yours now, thanks!

I love freebies. I try to check walmarts freebie sight as often as possible. I love the surprises of finding a little treat in the mail box. Plus it makes trips easy because I have a lot of travel sizes of things we need.

Just be careful when signing up for freebies. There are a lot of spam sites out there that promise you freebies but they just want your email.
With that said, there are also a lot of legit freebies out there also. I love getting stuff in the mail - it's the highlight of my day!

Good point! I tend to use junk email addresses that I have set up for those and other things. I never use my main email account.

I get free seeds a lot from various conventions
and festivals as well. I'll have to check this
site out for sure in the morning as I always need
seeds for veggies of any type. Thanks again.

Hope you find something useful!
I did get some sunflower seeds and another site had either flower or vegetable seeds, so I chose vegetable.
Have no idea what I'll get, but I'll plant it!

I got the idea from a place we stayed last summer. It was a nice little cabin in the country in Illinois, and the couple who owned it had it completely stocked with anything you could possibly need while you were there. She had a whole basket of samples in the bathroom - shampoo, conditioner, shaving cream, deodorant - pretty much anything you might need.

I have a fold up travel bag that we take on trips that has little pockets, and you can hang it on the shower. I put the products like shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste etc. in there, they are just the right size, oh and the deodrant samples are perfect too. Then when we go somewhere I have it ready, and don't have to pack my things from home. It is perfect to take on any trip.

Free is good! I like the "completely free" stuff - not the free issue but you have to subscribe to get it stuff.

Ldy what I do is even if it is something I don't use, I order and then I share with friends, family and the kids teachers. Like at Christmas, i never buy teacher presents, my kids make them. This past year, I had a bunch of samples saved through the year, I have 5 children, we took 3 pound coffee cans, the kids decorated them anyway they wanted, then we went through all my freebies, the kids helped me choose what their teachers would like based on their knowledge, like if they had kids, or a husband or were single, or if they needed something for the class, like I had clorox wipes, erasers, pens and pencils. The teachers all wrote thank you notes telling us how pleased they were with the gifts. One year I did little baskets for the elderly at the nursing home. So don't turn anything down, spread it around.

Everything I picked was absolutely free, either a sample size or some other trinket.
I'm hoping my mailbox will be filling up with neat stuff in the coming weeks. I only picked things I know I will use, though, I didn't want to be greedy or wasteful!

I love Free...even better is the combo of Free and Stuff. I like signing up for free things...and sometimes am quite disappointed when they never arrive. I've been quite thrilled lately with the charmin tp roll extender i got so i can hang the extra big rolls of tp.

I do too. I just signed on at the site, but the free is too much, how do they get paid for all the free stuffs they are promising? How are you finding the site?
