i use what i like the rest i give it away
I used to save everything up until I realized I had a baggie full of shampoo samples and what's the use of carting everything around every time I move? So I use everything up as it comes in. God knows I need the clutter control. If I can use it, I give it to my mother or to Goodwill if she doesn't want it.
i keep all the personal hygene samples in a container in my trailer for camping that way I don't have to stock up the trailer and when it gets used it can be thrown away and I don't have 1/2 boxes of stuff in there taking up space...
I keep some at the hospital. Many times a person is admitted and not prepared with some toiletries. Keep some handy so they can at least wash their hair, or put on some lotion and feel like a human being.
the coupons l get for baby stuff l give to my sister-in-law to give to people she knows that are having a baby
i keep some, but most i am saving to give to different organizations (big sisters) and people who would appreciate it much more than i need it :)
I have a number of friends who are either teachers or principles. They are short of time and appreciate any of the educational freebies that I can get my hands on to enhence their lessons. Many of the companies will send out 100 of a brochure/activity book/pamphlet... However it's pretty heavy to carry back from the mail box :)
i give alot of mine away to the rape crisis centers here (shampoos, tylenol, etc)
I use to keep the freebies for myself, but now I collect them for a friend of mine who needs it more! ;)
Majority of the time I use them. If I ordered them for someone once it arrives I just give it away. there are some samples I get and they looked nice online or was a good idea but when I get them I end up throwing them out right away. I'm sure alot of others have had the same thing.
Baby stuff I get I pass on to my sister, who is a grandma now - she knows which family uses what.
I tend to use the skin care samples, and general freebies.
Kid freebies go to nieces and nephews.
This year, those others I've collected and can't use, are being donated for Christmas hampers for the needy.
I keep small bottles of shampoo/conditioner/body wash for when I go on trips/vacations and the rest leftover I send them off to Cambodia whenever I have a relative visiting there because I know how grateful they are when we send things like that :) (I used to send my old toys and it's be the only toy they have received, ever :()
Depends if I want it, but then I'll probably give it away
I use what I like or need, then hand off the rest.
Haha I haven't looked at this thread forever.
I wonder how full Chip's basement is now :D
