Has this ever happened to you before? You've been shopping for an item on your wish list and it's a product you've never tried before. Finally, you take the plunge and add the item to your shopping cart.
A few days later, your new item arrives. You tear open the box and instantly start using the product. The only problem is, it's a disappointment.
Not many things are worse than that experience, especially when the item you purchased was expensive.
As frustrating as that is, it can be avoided if you try a sample of the product first. And receiving free samples is actually quite simple.
All you need is a site called AnyFreebies.com. This website offers free samples for everything from doughnuts to pain relief cream to books, and everything in between. We even found a free eye exam!
AnyFreebies.com is one of the top places on the web where you can find free stuff. We know, when you hear the word "free" it's easy to wonder if there's a catch. But the good news is, in this case, there isn't one.
Basically, companies want you to try their products. What they're hoping is that you'll try these samples, fall in love and become loyal customers. But at least they're giving you the chance to try it out before you buy.
To use the site, you don't need to have a special membership or even a login. It's just a helpful resource that shares links to the current offers that are out there. If there's something you're interested in, just click the link and you'll be directed to the details you need to request that offer.

Where Can You Find The Most Freebies? This Website Can't Be Beat!
I found a great website today where you can find the biggest list of freebies anywhere on the Internet! OK, I don't know that for sure, but AnyFreebies.com is definitely a top-notch freebie list site if I ever saw one!
I was only on this freebie website for a couple of minutes before I signed up for a free subscription to two trade publications. However, with any freebie website, you have to know that FREE sometimes means filling out two or three surveys, fulfilling partner offers, giving up rights to your first born, yada, yada, yada.
Seriously though, if you take the time to go through the different freebie websites advertised on AnyFreebies.com, you will find not only freebies in possibly every category known to man, but information on where to get free samples, coupons, giveaways, and resources (I know that sounds strange, but I found a couple great places to advertise this blog for free). You pretty much just have to check it out for yourself.
Be warned though---AnyFreebies.com is just a portal that can and will lead you into another world that is hard to escape. So if you have house cleaning to do, a car to fix, a daughter's ballet recital to go to...you may want to visit this website at another time when you aren't so busy and have time (like hours) to kill.
That's pretty much it for today. I think AnyFreebies.com pretty much speaks for itself. Have fun checking it out!

The Sample Life
I love staying in hotels. I never have to make the bed, and I can pocket the mini-shampoo and lotion bottles with impunity. So I was thrilled to discover I could fill my toiletry kit with sample-sized goodies without leaving home.
I start at AnyFreebies.com, because its creator, Marc McDonald, has culled through the many so-called free offers and compiled a list of things that are truly free -- those with no excessive shipping charges or other hidden costs. There are lots of free screensavers, software, clip art and other downloadables. But my favorites are the free samples of toothpaste, shampoo and lotions that come in the mail. There are even samples of aspirin and other medications.
I also check the sites of brands I like. Often they'll let you try new products just for giving up some pertinent information, such as your sex and age, plus your skin type or how often you use lotion. At Procter & Gamble (PG.com), for example, click on "Samples, Offers and Sweepstakes" to see what the current offer is. Or click on "Free Sample" at St. Joseph's (stjosephaspirin.com), tell them about yourself and fill out a survey to get an aspirin sample. If you're lucky (and you really know your Jelly Belly candies), you can get free candy by taking a flavor quiz at JellyBelly.com.
But be careful. "I advise people to use common sense and caution when seeking freebies," says AnyFreebies.com's McDonald. "The word 'free' is highly abused on the Web." Be wary of anything that asks for a credit card number or any other inappropriate information. You might be required to fill out a survey, but don't offer too much personal information. And before you sign up for anything, get a free e-mail address from Hotmail.com or Yahoo.com so your regular address won't get pelted with spam.
