P&G Brand Sampler

Like Free Samples In Your Mailbox?
Join P&G Brand Sampler!

If you haven't joined the P&G Brand Sampler online, you need to do that ASAP! Every month or so you can log in and check off the list of samples you would like to receive in your mailbox. It is that simple! A lot of these samples also come with coupons! SOMETIMES, you can request coupons instead of the samples offerred.. as in, you could request a voucher for a free sample size item.. or a $3 off any type coupon...  WHEN that option presents itself, I recommend going that route if you are going to "do the coupon thing".  Sometimes, magic happens when you are sitting on a voucher for a freebie (up to x amount of dollars) or a $3 off or whatever. You might find a clearance sale that would make a full sized item the same cost as a trial/travel sized item and then you just bonus sized your freebie. OR you might find a drugstore deal with extra bucks back or even a rebate.. you can keep the savings going or even make a little money for purchasing the free item....   Just some food for thought! 

Anyway, give the P&G Brand Sampler club thing and looksie HERE! And go ahead and join! Currently, you can sign up for free Head and Shoulders and/or Prilosec.

You Can Get Freebies and Coupons Pro Actively!

Shh! Big Insider Tip...
You CAN Get Coupons or Even Freebies
Just By Seeking Out Your Fave Companies/Products!

I didn't realize this was even possible... seeking out and getting coupons and such from companies when they weren't doing freebies or coupons..  Then, I saw Couponing to Disney's 5 a Day Mailing Campaign.  Some days, she will highlight several companies and include their contact info for you. Then, you are supposed to send the company an email.  Thank them for a promotion. Compliment them on their company/product. Gush about your love for the product, etc. 

Be genuine. Don't necessarily ask for a coupon or freebies. Be polite. If you have a concern or genuine complaint, let them know nicely.  If you have the "option" of putting your mailing address, DO THAT. You NEVER know what will show up in your mailbox as a result.

For example, I wrote Kelloggs a lovely, genuine email thanking them for all their movie ticket and concession cash promotions last year.  Thanks to them, my husband and I got to have a FREE date on our anniversary.  We each got FREE Movie tickets, and a total of $20 in Concession Cash.  All thanks to a deal I worked to get about 10 boxes of specially marked Kelloggs cereals for around $9 out of pocket.  I thanked them for my anniversary date with my husband. 

In response, they sent me SEVERAL vouchers for FREE Kelloggs items, up to $5 in value ea.  I used these to get Special K Protein Shakes. (Yes, these did Beep for me at the check out, but the vouchers said ANY KELLOGGS brand item, and Special K is Kelloggs, so the store took it no problem.)

My point is that if you seek out the emails of the companies and products you love, you might be surprised by what shows up in the mailbox at home.  Another friend of mine does this when her printer is out of ink. She just starts mailing companies and requesting mailed coupons.

Do NOT say "You sent my friend freebies and I want some too." That is off putting.

Want to start the way I did with Kelloggs? Go HERE and look on the right where it says Request More Information and follow their steps.   

I took the time to link it, so please let me know what response you get!! :)  

Good Luck! Let us know which companies send out freebies, etc!

Ebay is Offerring Free to List Starting Today!

Have Stuff to Sell?
Ebay is Offering Free Listing Fee To Eligible Members!
From time to time, Ebay waives their listing fees when you are eligible and meet certain criteria.  Go HERE for the official rules and info, but essentially, most Ebay Sellers will qualify.

I just got the email that announced Ebay will be letting folks list items for FREE starting today, through February 8th.  This offer is good for up to 100 auction-style listings. You can list at any starting price, but must not include a reserve price to get the free listing. Also, you have to be a member of good standing, have had 10 or so transactions, and have ratings of 4.5 or better in certain categories.  AND, you cannot have an Ebay store.

So, essentially, if you are an Ebayer of integrity and do not have an Ebay store, you are pretty much good to go.  Just go look at the official guidelines to make sure if you have a question.

This is wonderful! I was about to list my Valentine's Items to sell, and all my Osh Kosh Girl's Sandals for Spring/Summer!!  What a wonderful FREEBIE for the day!

**REMINDER*** YOU WILL STILL PAY FINAL VALUE FEES WHEN YOUR ITEM SELLS!
