For several years now, I have entered contests and sweepstakes. My favorite finds are entry forms for 'freebies'. Freebies are from companies willing to give away samples, in the hopes of repeat buyers spreading the word about their products. These freebies can be a small sample or a full size product. And sometimes they are just a fun gift as a bonus for buying their products, these are my very favorites.
There are many websites and newsletters that gather information on these freebies in one place which makes it easier on those who wish to enter. I subscribe to quite a few of these and they are always free. I do spend a couple of hours a day checking all the websites and newsletters for new offerings, so, there is a commitment involved. I have included pictures of some freebies I have received in recent months.
This is one days take. A Swifter Duster, a speaker from Pringles Chips, a billfold and six golf balls. And today I received a minature lock.
In this picture I have a pair of sunglasses and a pair of reading glasses. A couple of edible items, chocolate candy and popcorn. I love my new on-the-go glass and my personalized flask. A couple of free coupons will help with future purchases.
This is quite the collection! There are a few coupons for free purchases and a check that I can cash at my own bank. Edibles in this group are a full size Hamburger Helper and a single serve box of cereal. I have a very nice thermos and two insulated to-go cups. The metal bottles will be great on the bike and a picture book that I created myself online. A few drink mixes, bandaids, a calendar and a few odds and ends round out this group of freebies.
A few other items that I had to pick up at the store (free of charge) were coffee creamer, first aid kits and lighters. And the mailman delivered a hot pad and hankerchief.
This is a good sampling of the freebies I receive. A few other items that I get occasionally would be T-Shirts, books, toys, gift cards, stickers and other items I can't even think of at the moment.
Wouldn't you enjoy getting one of these in your mailbox instead of that bill?

This WOULD be so much better than a bill! What websites do you use? So much fun, Madge!
