Free Stuff – Where and How to Get It

Who doesn't love a bargain, and getting something for free is the ultimate bargain!

Advertisers have known this reality for many years: Giving free stuff leads to getting sales.  In another era, it was free dishes each time you purchased gas or a free toy in a box of cereal. Now, it's a free action figure with a fast food meal; or a free phone when you subscribe to the company's service.

If done honestly, and with the consumer aware, these freebies can be a win for both the merchant and the consumer.

Or maybe you are one of those rare individuals that is not captured with the free offers. But these days you are simply looking for ways to cut expenses. You've done what you can, and even eliminated things you once considered basic. But now you are down to the essentials.  So maybe some free samples of food or product freebies that you could really use now sounds awfully good.

So how do you find those places where you can get free stuff without getting ripped off? Where do you obtain those truly free samples?

There are different ways of locating these goodies. But the Internet is one of the best places to find free stuff today. Thousands of products and services are available for free online. The challenge is:  Where are they in that vast world wide web? And how do you sort out the real from the bogus offers?

You can start with a simple search of "free stuff" or "freebies."  You'll find web sites that carry a whole range of products. These directory-type sites are usually organized into categories such as food, clothing, household, electronics, etc.

Now if you are looking for a particular item, enter the item's name in the search engine with the word "free" added before or after your item name. If this gives you too many results, put "quotes" around your desired item name and "free" so it is "free item-you-want" (of course replacing "item-you-want" with the name of the item/product you want!).
