Do you use them, do you give them away, or do you put them away and never touch them?
Depnds on what it is....some of the things I use, and if I don't use it I just give it away.
I keep the things I need, if it's something i don't use, I try giving it to someone who would make use of it
I make good use of recipe books... well, my hubby makes more use than I do- but they never go to waste.
I'll try the new products but the ones that I'll use regularly (like clinique) I hold on to them for when I go on overnight trips so that I don't have to carry the full size containers.
I look at them for 3 seconds...enjoy those 3 seconds, and chuck em into the basement...never to see again! (with the envelope!) :lol:
Lol! You really do, chip?
yup...lol...I really do! lol
Chip that's not good :roll:
How about you enjoy them for 3 minutes and then give them to a friend/relative/neighbour who might find it useful? this way companies will continue to benefit and no one gets harmed in the process.
Say for instance you got the Enfamil baby food sample and you don't have any babies in your house (u shouldn't order it in the first place but let's say u did). Find a friend who has a baby and give it to them.
What's the use of ordering freebies and chucking them in the basement? :?
i knew someone would reply saying that :-k though im not saying that i disagreeQuote:

Don't gang up on Chip... at least he was honest!
But, Chip- maybe you can share your freebies with people who'd use them, OK?
Poor chip *pats him on the head*
haha relax its ok...lol...i dont order anything i dont need and suppose i order something like a wristband tht looked good in the picture but instead of sending me a wristband they send me some info abt their company...what am i supposed to do with it? so there it goes...i only order stuff i need...u guys are making it sound like i wanna harm the company...thts not my intention but ill try giving the things away cause tht isnt a bad idea...thnks for letting me know guys (and for the pat on the head iced_faerie) lol
hehe, I took this too seriously
Now I feel stupid ](*,)
sorry Chip :-({|=
hehe it's ok Boo! :D
LOL... Sorry Chip!

Makes me feel good to help out when I can!
I am a packarat as it is, so if I ordered everything, this place would REALLY be a pigsty!! :lol:
Free??
I love free!! LOVE FREE!!! LOL
I use it. but if I can't then SOMEone will and i'd give it to them.
I order the formula ones as often as I can get away w/ it and I don't have a baby...but I do take it to the food bank which is always happy to see formula come through the door.Quote:

Mine took ages to come! The Heinz one comes really quick (I think about a week)
As for what I do with my freebies - I use most of them!!! If its something I cannot or will not use I give it to a freind or donate it. I also try hard to only order freebies I will use.
i have a big stash of freebies in my room. If i don't like them i usually give them away!
If I have a use for it, I order it.
If I don't, I'll see if anyone else in my neighborhood wants it. And if that doesn't work...
I sell it. (only did that with one, and that was a baby kit for my friend's neighbor... that moved away before it arrived. It didn't sell high, only $1 but it was better then nothing.)
:biggrin: I got so many dove deoderant 15 and dove liquid soap 15, so I pass them along to family/friends and I also got more than 15 bottles of lysol 4 in one for free used 2.00 coupon got on sale so passed alot along as well and Oust the same,the list goes on and on,really feels good to pass stuff to others and I have alot of baby stuff to give out to a family member soon and I'm new to this a couple of months into it,I have a purse full of free stuff to get, it's kinda neat doing the freebie thing.
my freebies never last..there is always someone that wants what I get, I also hold contests with the prizes I get my mypoints etc. I love giving, very rarely do I keep something for myself. Except if it's special like the The body shop goodies I got on my birthday.
nothing ever last with me either i use everything the second i get them usually haha and usually end up buying the stuff if i can find it in the stores after
mom has started to try stealing the stuff i get too lol she thought i was nuts at first now she thinks differently :)
I use them. I only order stuff that my family or I can use. I sent tylenol to work with my husband, and i use the tampons.
Wow that is a lot glenglen! Sadly they ran out of samples and I was not able to get even one. :(
i use the majority of the samples i receive. and what i can't use i usually give away to my family or friends.
The multiple items I got were through coupons from stores that I went to zellers has lots of dove booklets and safeway has the oust and lysol coupons that's where I get most of my really good freebies. I just order what I'll use from the freebie sites and hope they come, I got 9 tubes of free toothpastes from coupons that a people cut out and leave at the coop store, I check the coupon bin twice a week that's how I get the good freebies .Aways looking.
