Needy for some freebies? There’s FreeCatcher.com, one of my favorite places to get freebies, and there’s also AllFreeSamples.com which has a ton of, duh, free samples! The free baby samples page is huge. When I was a new mom I always appreciated free samples and freebies. I didn’t have the Internet when I was raising my kids :poorme: Yeah, in the olden days, we had to rely on thrift stores and garage sales! You young whippersnappers have it easy. 😉
The websites offer more than just baby stuff. There’s Magic Grip Jar Openers (I’ve GOT to get some of those) and a free Ben & Jerry’s cone! 😀 Lots more- health and beauty aids, mp3 downloads, travel guides, pet foods, etc. AllFreeSamples also has very nice articles, too, organized by category. In the Home & Garden section there are very good tips on gardening with coffee grounds, edging a lawn, etc. It’s a frugal hack’s paradise!
Usually when you sign up for freebies, you have to give over some information like your name, address, and email, etc. I always recommend that you read the privacy policy of the site, and use a webmail email address, too. I’ve had very good success with freebie sites, though, and I sure don’t mind any extra coupons they send me, either!
Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I'm a freelance writer for national media outlets like USAToday.com, Salon.com, and others. I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
