I love to get free stuff. I search the web daily for freebies. I used to get so many each day that the mailman would have to bring the mail to the house because it wouldn't all fit in the box. I bought a farm size mailbox and now everything fits. I check Arlana's freebies everyday. I also love the freebies from Walmart. They come really quick. I get tons of free magazines that I donate to the library or nursing homes. One tip I will give you is if you order freebies set up a seperate email account for them and that way you want get a lot of unwanted emails.

Who doen't like free stuff! And I have to agree on the setting up another email account. Because I used to do a lot of surveys, I get over 400+ spam a DAY! I think even more than that because it drives me crazy.
My sister gets TONS of stuff for free and she even sends things to my mom that she might need.
One year, she didn't even need to buy anything for Christmas gifts because she put little baskets together of goodies for everyone in the family.

That's such a good idea that your sister had.
At my sons' school, during teacher appreciation week,
sometimes we give baskets of spa-themed "goodies" and
this would be a great way to save doing it!!

I used to sign up for every freebie I saw. But then I realised that I was claiming all sorts of things which I didn't really need. When I thought about it, all those costs that a company was accruing to send me something I didn't really need were just adding to the cost of the products, and the packaging and stuff was adding to my environmental impact too. And of course, I was depriving someone else of the chance of a freebie as there are only limited numbers of each. So now I only apply for something if it's something I know I have a use for.

I love all the freebie samples I get. It gives me the chance to try before I buy and those laundry detergent samples have saved me a few times when I have run out. I mostly get lotions, toothpaste, shampoos and conditioner samples. I have been doing this for about a year now. The start sampling site has some freebies and if you go the forum you will find even more. Sometimes I go directly to the manufactures website and you can get freebie samples there as well. If you belong to Costco you can get free samples there as well. Just type in "free samples" in the search bar and enter your Costco card number and they will send you their featured sample. I used to get the samples from Walmart but I do not care for that company so I do not request them any longer, my loss I guess but it is a matter of principle with me.

I used to sign up for freebies all the time, but the free stuff I would get were usually samples that were so small, they were really useless and just not worth the time it took me to acquire them. Like little packettes of lotion with 1 drop in it, or seasoning mix that you could maybe sprinkle over 1 piece of meat. Are you actually getting decent size free stuff that you use???

I used to spend time requesting freebies but I'm finding now with the new post mistress in town...i just dont get them anymore. I'm not sure if they just dont send them out to me or if they get lost or misplaced in the mail.
In someways im sure its the mail because Things i've mailed lately havent been getting to where i send them to.

I love some free stuff, while some free stuff is not really worth it. I was looking for perfume samples as my perfume is running low and I was wanting to try new brands, but I only got a peel and sniff sample, while I was hoping for a small bottle that may last me a week or so. I got some washing liquid for clothes and you got quite a lot of that, so that was a good freebie.

I love free stuff- especially samples of things i haven't tried. What is Arlana's freebies? I've noticed there aren't as many freebies online as there once was- do you have any sites you recommend?
