Mail Call: Got It Free | June 2014

I don't know about you but I love not having to pay for things! Whether they're free items with a paid purchase, cool samples by mail, gift card rewards to redeem for whatever, or full-size products from consumer test panels just for sharing your opinions... I like them all! And these last couple of months I've found lots of awesome things online available for free!

Some freebies require more work than others, like taking surveys to earn points which you can later redeem for your favorite gift cards. But others are as easy as logging onto a website, filling out your mailing info, and requesting a free sample! I'm one of those people that loves to share my opinion, so I'm a part of numerous consumer test panels. I get to try lots of different products, and all I have to do is tell them what I think. It's definitely my favorite way to get free stuff! 

I spend every other day or so checking my favorite sample sites like Vonbeau or Raining Hot Coupons. It's where I get most of my goodies! They really have the best information for the latest available freebies. I also log into my test panel accounts daily to see my invitations to new campaigns. I'm fairly active on each of the test panels I'm enrolled in, so I get new invites constantly!

Here are some of My Links and where you can find me...

I keep a basket near my front door designated for the free stuff I get each month. If anything new comes, I just add it to the box. At the end of the month I go through my stash to see all of my awesome finds! I've decided to start sharing them here with you through this fun monthly series...

Here is what the postman delivered to my mailbox in the month of June:

MAGAZINES

Periodicals are such a great thing to get for free. Our household is currently subscribed to nearly 10 different magazines! But we only subscribe to the ones that we know we'll read. I archive our favorite titles [mine is allure!] which I use later for reference and others go into a pile that I use for different crafts and projects.

HEALTH & BEAUTY

These are definitely my favorite kind of freebies! I've gotten everything from personal hygiene items, hair and skin care, even full-size makeup products like lipstick and nail polish! A lot of these samples came from Vonbeau, brand pages on Facebook, Walmart & Target's sample sites, and my different consumer test panels.

FOOD & DRINK

Every so often there are some really cool food samples online, but there wasn't much that came this month. Since we consume Coke products pretty often [mostly Powerade!] we registered for a My Coke Rewards account. Each week I enter the codes found on the lid, and when I get enough points I redeem them for coupons of free Powerade.

Here's a sneak peek at all of the goodies I got in April & May:
