How to Find FREE STUFF Online

With today's economy and cobwebs growing in our wallets, it is nice to know there are sites out there that will compile some of the companies giving away free things to us penny pincher consumers. Granted, some of the offers may just be a couple of tampons, but, throw those in your purse, gym bag, etc and you are covered! You will come across some sites that will give you a link to sign up for free magazines, even a Free Oprah magazine has been offered before. Usually some of the bigger ticket items are for a limited time only.

Some of the more memorable things that I have gotten for free are

-an 8 pound bag of Pedigree dog food
-several Free T-Shirts and Free Socks
-Free Zippo lighter
-Free magazines
-Coupons galore
-Free tampons
-Free condoms
-Free make up
-Free movie screenings
-Free pens
-Free fridge magnets
-Coupons for free products and other free stuff

That isn't all I have ever gotten, but, for the novice who has never went online before to get free things, this will help them to better understand what is out there for them to get.

One place you should definitely check out once a week is www.walmart.com/samples. About once a week Wal Mart will update that page and offer about 3 to 5 samples of products. Examples are the newest type of feminine products, grocery samples, and free over the counter medications.

Another site that is almost a one-stop-shop for all things free is Fat Wallet. www.fatwallet.com. Go to the site and click on the 'forums' tab and then scroll down until you find the "Free Stuff" tab. Browse through the forum of free things offered and be mindful of what others have said about the offer. They are your best guide to know whether or not this offer is still available. If, for example, someone posted "Free t-shirt", but numerous posters stated that it was no longer valid, take heed to that. Don't waste your time filling out a form for a free t=shirt only to find out the offer has expired!

I mostly use Wal Mart and Fat Wallet for free things, however, some other sites worth mentioning are:

www.freestuffonline.com, www.freemania.net, and www.couponmom.com.

For anybody new to this game I am going to give you one of the most priceless bits of advice available when signing up for free stuff on the internet....

DO NOT GIVE YOUR MAIN E-MAIL ADDRESS!! Set up an alternate e-mail address just for free stuff because you will get tons of unwanted e-mails. These e-mails are not necessarily 'spam' but, they may be just as unwanted as spam. So, just go to yahoo or hotmail or some other free email host and set up a new account to receive only emails from sites that offered you something free.
