Lesson #1: There is such a thing as a free lunch
The ambiguous "they" say you can't get something for nothing. I'd beg to differ. About a month ago, I was browsing on the Sam's Club website and saw an offer for a free sample of shampoo and conditioner. I decided to fill out the form to request a sample and was pretty skeptical that it would actually come. I was pretty bored that day and Googled "free samples" on a whim, and lo and behold, a whole treasure trove of free stuff came up. Since then, I've been doing a daily search for freebies and now every couple of days there's a surprise waiting in my mailbox.
I'm going to use this entry to log all the samples I sign up for, where I signed up for them (so you can sign up too), and when/if I received the sample. I'll post pictures/reviews of the samples in separate entries.
Most of these are from http://www.shop4freebies.com/
It doesn't seem like they've shared my email address with anyone, but if you are hesitant to give yours, I'll post all the freebies I sign up for here.
