How To Find Great Freebies
Many of you have shared with me that by the time you get to some of the freebies on Friday, they are already gone, or that applying for a certain freebie floods your email in-box with spam.
Well, today, I thought I would share with you my tips on finding really great freebies and coupons. I use these same techniques all the time and they work wonders!
~The first thing you need to do is create an email account separate from your work or personal email. This is easy to do! GMAIL and HOTMAIL offer free email accounts and are the easiest to use. Once you get your email address set up, the fun begins!
~Google the words “freebie websites” and watch the HUGE amount of freebie sites that pop up! Then, choose your favorite ones and subscribe to receive their posts by email. This way, you will receive one email with all the great freebies that they have posted throughout the day. Your in-box doesn’t get flooded with many e-mails, but good reliable e-mails. Some of my favorite freebie sites are The Freebie Blogger, Hip 2 Save, Freebies 4 Mom, and The Thrifty Groove.
~Once you start receiving the emails with the freebies, just choose the ones you want to apply for. Since you have the separate email account, all the spam should go right into the spam box and you can check it frequently.
~Another way to get freebies is to sign up for Survey Sites. Right now, I am signed up with Minefield Studies and Pinecone Research. I get paid for trying new products and giving them my opinions. It is very easy and simple to do. Right now, Minefield is the only one still taking applications, but keep an eye out because Pinecone always opens the door up every few months to receive new applicants.
~Giveaways! This is another little hobby of mine! I love to fill out for giveaways. I have won embroidery thread, books for my kids, and I recently won an Emergency Preparedness cookbook that I am thoroughly enjoying!
So those are my tips on how I get my freebies and flood my mailbox with great stuff! I hope you can use these same techniques and get some goodies yourself!
Do you have any tips to share with me about finding good freebies?

Great list. I definitely concur with signing up for giveaways! My mom is the giveaway QUEEN. She not only wins tons of stuff and signs up for a lot of giveaways, but she also reviews a lot of products for her blog and gets a lot of items for free. I swear that UPS and Fed-ex deliver to her house or mine at least once a day. She’s crazy with the freebies!
I thought I’d also mention that Hot Coupon World has a couple of great sections for freebies on their forum. One is for personal freebies and another for business freebies. Its a great site for learning to use coupons, discussing great money saving deals and also for trading coupons with others. I’m there all the time though mainly because of those freebie sections on the forum!
How do you all have time for this? I so want to be frugal and I’m stressed trying to keep up with it all. I do homeschool my children, like most of you, and I’m trying to do a pampered chef business, but thinking of quitting so i can focus more on my family, but we need the money i bring in. It’s so challenging, God helps me each day! Thanks for the sites, I’ll try to keep up with all you frugal moms, lol.
