Teresa Hoyt
You may have read about people who get things for free. Did you know YOU can get things for free and you can start today? It's easy to do and requires no great investment of your time and effort. Just keep your eyes open to find the freebies. There are many was to get discounts too, but today our focus is on things that are totally free.

Craigslist is a great source of freebies. All sorts of items are listed that people no longer want and need to get rid of fast. You will find lots of free furniture, free clothing, free firewood even old trailers and junk cars for free. If you want to get these freebies check Craigslist first thing in the morning, last thing at night and frequently throughout the day. You will want to make contact right away. The freebies go quickly!

Free Samples including full size products are yours for the asking. Spend a few minutes online requesting free items from manufacturers and then wait for the mailman. Walmart.com has a free samples section. There are dozens of freebie sites on the internet where you can get free products just by signing up. A quick Google will bring up thousands of freebies sites.

Remember, free things are free. Never pay to access a website or to get a freebie. If you find one that asks for payment or membership fees, back away. Message boards too, list freebies and you can share your finds with other members. The IVillage Freebies!! message board is a great place where members share the freebies they have found. Members will also answer your questions and celebrate your successes with you.

Free groceries and household products can often been found in your newspaper coupon insert. Manufacturer's often give coupons for products totally free when they try to promote and new item or a new version of an old favorite. When you find a free coupon in your newspaper, go to the recycling center the following week and try to dig up some more. Usually your search will yield plenty of extra coupons. Recently, free Purina kitten chow was out. My adult cats are happily munching on Purina Kitten Chow and loving every minute of it.

The library is one of the oldest and best sources of freebies ever. Rather than purchasing you can get books, including the current best sellers, read the latest magazines, "rent" DVD's for free, read Audio Books and use the computer with free internet access. Most libraries have free programs for children so you can provide entertainment for the little ones and some have free classes for adults. Take advantage of these free services for education and entertainment.

Desperate car dealers often offer free items, free gift cards or cash when you test drive a car. You can go to the dealer, try the car and get your free item. No one realistically expects every customer to purchase the car they drive. Give the car a test and enjoy the proceeds.

Many restaurants offer a free meal for you or your child on your birthday. This can be tricky, since you may be tempted to purchase meals for the rest of the family members, but a single person can eat for free on their birthday, free breakfast, free lunch, free dinner and free dessert. Many restaurants require that you sign up in advance so sign up now to be ready when your birthday rolls around. A few of the places that offer birthday freebies are: Baskin Robins, Cold Stone Creamery, Denny's, IHop, Noodles & Co., and Red Robin. Other restaurants offer a free dessert when you purchase a meal. Spend your time filling your stomach with totally free food.

Freebies are addictive. While the economy is tough, and even when it's not it's great to get free stuff. Get started today and enjoy the rewards.
