Thanks, I have checked on this site but it seems there aren't too much things that would interest me. I have signed up for some free stuff though.

Recently I sent some requests for free samples of cosmetics and free gadgets. I got 22 samples of various face creams I gave my mom (now she has loads of such creams I won for her in contests). That’s all I got.

Nothing is free. Even junk costs you something in order to get it.

I used to get stuff free all the time- From posters, to magnets, glue,condoms,soap,shampoo, stickers, razors, coupons, cereal, snacks, buttons, lotion.. from the top of my head. However, more and more freebies/free samples are getting rarer and rarer. Walmart used to be big into it, but I don't think they send out free samples anymore. Whenever I did fill out the form to get my samples, I'd use my pets names.. so If I ever got junk mail, I'd know how they got the name. The only time I got junk mail by doing it, is when my cat got approved for a credit card in the mail ... It was abit amusing.

That got me in trouble when I thought something was free but it wasn't completely. :oops:

I used to be OBSESSED with free stuff though. Actually, the first thing I did when we got to go to the computer lab in 6th grade (since we didn't have internet until i was in 9th grade at home) was sign up for "free" computers and stuff :lol: Not the brightest crayon in the box. :roll:

The internet itself is the best free thing there is.

I signed up to get e-mail from all-freemagazines.com whenever they add a new offer. You'd be surprised how often magazine companies give away free six month or one year subscriptions to the first [insert number here] people who sign up. I'm getting Newsweek free for six months right now. When the trial is over and they send you a bill, you write "cancel" on it and don't pay anything. The only catch is that they'll sell your e-mail address to advertising companies and you'll get lots of spam, but I get a lot of that no matter what.

Since when was the internet free?

Since the 21st century, actually. It's possible to access the internet without paying an ISP.

For Canadians: there's links to a lot of free stuff at Redflagdeals. I have gotten free appetizers and desserts at restaurants, and some things in the mail...will be enjoying a kashi bar soon and a bag of spicy ketchup chips.

The catch is the companies involved might send you a crapload of email, but that's usually solved by unsuscribing to their respective mailing lists.

My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.

I used to but then I realized that they use these offers to create leads. These companies use the offers to get you to sign up and then sell your info to marketing firms. I don't sign up for these things anymore because I don't want my phone being blown up be telemarketers.

I sent today some requests for embassies of other countries in mine, asking them if they might send me some free stuff :)

I signed up for some free stuff - a pizza knife (I had no idea something like that exists), some flower seeds, a manicure set, some cosmetic samples for mom, a small linen towel - I hope I'll get them.
