It depends on what it is
I have an eduactional cupboard that I stiock posters and magazines in that my son can cut up for school projects and research.
Beauty stuff I keep in a basket in my washroom for when I travel or have people overnight I bring out the smaller things that they might have forgot.
Right now I am collecting freebies for my bridal bags, mini spa bags for my brides maids. I wanna see what I can collect (useful of course) and help cut some costs on the big day.
If I can't use it I pass it off.
I got Heinz baby formula when all I wanted was the coupon booklet so the baby formula went to the womens shelter.
I just order freebies I will use and use them
I keep them in a box. I don't know why i do that. I guess the trial size is too small for me to actually make use of it. Most of the freebies i have are either perfume or small bottles of shampoo. I save them adn give it to my dad later or use them myself when i go traveling.
i will order it....only if i need them :).....less mess at home.......
I ask for freebies that my family will use (with hub, me and 5 kids, trust us, we're not stockpiling) :)
But I also order stuff I know my Daddy or brothers would appreciate (like the fan packs, shaver/toiletry stuff, guy stuff). ;)
Well said, no use to order things that will go to the trash. Waste of the company's postage aswellQuote:

Each have benefited from freebies thanks to SC Friday, received 3 pack of Ensure(Butter Pecan!!!) Since has an expiry date, and to make sure SOMEONE(BODY) reaps the benefit of what companies have to offer. I gave it to an ailing relative. This is the part of SC that makes me :-) Everyone wins!:biggrin:
Cheers

Really depends on what i receive! If it's a catalog, i read it then i would probably like leave it lying around. Some other things i give away or use it myself!
My husband told me tonight that our cupboard looked like a chemical factory... I am planning on giving some away!
It all depends on what it is but usually I only send for stuff I know I will try. With coupons, I usually give some away or throw some out and use some as well.
I had a bunch of T-shirts, and water bottles (from a contest), and free cookie straws, and caps from Nescafe, cereal bars, key fobs, etc. I bought some re-usable bags and I am filling them, to use as door prizes for an event we are going to this weekend.
I only order freebies I know I will use. It is just wasteful if you aren't going to use them.
