I spend a lot of time emailing companies for coupons, samples, and trying to save myself money even making money with mystery shops and other sites like MyLot even.
I am saving up to move out, and gathering items I will need (and the more money I save the better).
I posted a few pictures of items I got for free on Facebook. I do this often as some of my friends are from groups and we share how we got everything. Sort of little brag like hey I got this haha.
This friend on facebook who i use to work with always comments about how did you get this, get me it, and so on. I just ignore her now, I gave her a load of links, and she always comments asking me to get her them yet she has every excuse not to get it herself.
She has the internet, and has all day sitting at home no excuses. Ive wrote down instructions and even sat beside her she did just fine. Shes just lazy and doesnt do it herself, expects me to do it.
I told her Im out to save me money, not put all the time and effort into giving her all the hours, and money saving ways.

We live in Canada but we have similar sites like the US. I get a lot of free samples, coupons, even money such sites like MyLot. But I work for it and dont expects other to give it to me. She just has had everything handed to her and now she expects it, and pure laziness.

Oh, if she really wanted to have those then she better get them herself. She needs to become more independent. She can't let every person do some things for her at all times. Happy mylotting.

I agree with you. She needs to learn to do it on her own and not just wait for someone else to do it for her.

Start marketing yourself as an expert; create a side business. Then, offer to give her the "friends'" rate to help her with these things; you needn't tell her that it is the same as the "non-friends'" rate. 
Seriously, though... Why not start a side business doing this? Offering your expertise to others. You are not one to be idle for long, so this sounds like a good side project for you.

So you give her the treasure map and she wants for you to get the treasure for her too? Ahhhhhh, you're right that's just plain laziness. Even though some things are free, you still have to do the footwork for it . . . if she wants it, she's going to have to fend for herself - sorry but that's just life.

That is because she is entirely dependant on you ,try to make her unique and stand for her and ask her to pile some decent work and live for herself so that she wont use her time for you anytime .so its the best and nice way to go forward being independent

Evidently she doesn't want these things as badly as she makes it sound. If she did she would put forward the effort needed to get them. Sounds to me like you did your part. Keep in mind if you actually did it all for her she likely wouldn't appreciate it very much anyway.

]Yeah I'd be ignoring her too, if she can't do it for herself she obviously doesn't need it or want it that bad. She can't expect someone to do things like that for her. I'd probably be apt to say "well if you want it so bad but won't do it yourself, PAY ME FIRST, and then I'll do it. [em]rofl[/em

Your friend is too dependent on you even though you already taught her how to do it. Let her do it on her own. You already did your part to help her and you have other things to do than just wasting it on teaching her over and over again. I just hope that she will realize that she's been bugging you and you have enough problems on your own for her to add up to that.
