Ok, since I am becoming a dirty, filthy hippy, I have been researching ways to get free stuff. Or nearly free stuff. Next, I will look up plans on how to pocket compost, recycle my own waste, and how to build a commune. But until then, here's some free/nearly free websites.
(Note: Create a FAKE gmail account for this. If you sign up to these, you get a LOT of spam. I am only plugging gmail because they never delete your account. Ever. Even when you ask them to, because you misspelled your own last name. Not that I know anything about that.)
Ok, the best place to start is Daily Free Stuff. They tend to post a lot of samples.
Next up is WalMart, who tends to do promotions and give away coupons for free stuff. (If you click on the link, it takes you to the free samples and free trials page.)
Psssssst Cosco does it too. Just type in sample in their search box. Right now, it's Ponds wipes. (This blog post will be outdated by Sunday! Ha!)
Next up is Hippo Post. You upload a picture of your choosing, you write what you want on the back of it, and you send it to whomever you want - all from your computer. They just put a small ad on the bottom of the postcard. They pay the postage though, which is pretty sweet.
Fat Wallet has some great forums, especially for free stuff, and coupons.
Eyes, Lips, Face is a makeup brand where almost everything is one dollar. One American Dollar too. That's on 50p Euro! It's only 6.95 for S&H too. It makes me want to go on a crazy shopping spree when I am done being a dirty hippie!

ReplyDeleteIt worked. ONCE.
I went back to send my daughter a card for starting back to school - and when you hit "send" for your personal card, it took you to a message to buy cards. It stated you would be able to use your 2 "free" daily cards before the ones you bought (after you bought them, of course). What a jip. I emailed them w/ a piece of my mind. I'm sure they got enough press about free cards that they aren't doing it anymore - I went to the site today and it said "Oops! We don't have any free cards today - feel free to purchase..." (When I signed up, it said you got 2 free daily cards. Yeah, right.)
