Baby Freebies
So, I’m pregnant, still pretty early on, but to help make it more real, I took my love of free samples, and took a look at all those baby freebies I has skipped over or had done to give to other people. I even started a new email just for all the baby stuff.
The basic concept is that baby product companies want your business and many have newsletters with info on new products and discounts/sales as well as coupons and samples on their websites… so I started signing up.
*updated 1/19/2012
I started with this list: http://www.couponingtodisney.com/2010/09/26/getting-ready-for-baby-signing-up-for-mailing-lists/ but some of the links were outdated, so I ended up googling some of the companies instead.
I also found this list: http://www.frugalcouponliving.com/2010/03/08/baby-clubsresources-2/ which lists store baby clubs for coupons…my local grocery has one but it is not online, so I haven’t tried to sign up yet.
Most of the newsletters links are at the very top or very bottom of the homepage also look out for links to sign up/in, special offers, coupons, samples, etc. There are a few of these companies that I’m not sure will produce anything, since I found them by googling the names of major baby products and seeing if they had newsletters. To print coupons you usually have to download/install a coupon program. It is totally safe to do, but my computer is older, so I don’t need any extra programs slowing it down.
I haven’t decided if I will buy enough baby things from Amazon to make this worth it, but there is an Amazon Mom program (http://www.amazon.com/gp/mom/signup/info) basically you get all the perks of prime membership by buying things from their baby store, check out the FAQ
I will add more to the list below as I find them.
