Like free stuff? I sure do. Especially these days. With one adult working and one in school, our money is stretched to the limit.
I have made it my goal to do a Google "News" search for free samples or free sample coupons (at least once a week) to receive something free or at a reduced cost. By searching the "News", you see the information quickly and you go straight to the manufacturer's site where they are offering the coupon/sample, etc. Just in the past few weeks, I've signed up for sample coffees, hot chocolates, restaurant deals, birthday ice cream clubs, etc.
Take a few minutes during your break and do a search. I also know there is a great news site out of Dallas (I think it's News 7), but they do a weekly piece called "Debbie's Deals" and you can find good links to great deals there as well.
I do recommend you create an email account to use for signing up for samples.
Happy sampling.

Clip coupons! You may think it's "nerdy", but when you look at the savings you won't mind being a nerd. I look in recycling bins, and the best place, around the newspaper printing place.
I stocked up on hair color and a toilet cleaning system and refills early this year when I had coupons, and they were on sale.
Contact manufacturers for free samples and coupons for your favorite products. I have received free coupons for tuna fish by way of email.
Before shopping online I find it best to google for a coupon on the store site I wish to visit.
During the holidays I always try to spend wisely. This year I am under larger budget constraints than ever, so I decided not to purchase any items online or at stores unless I have a coupon.
