Free samples are awesome! It’s great getting to try something out for free, because you can see if you like it before you shell out the bucks to buy.

I’ve been slacking on my sample-mongering for a while now, but one of my favorite places to find free samples is StartSampling.com. They have some great samples to choose from, and they also have contests and surveys you can participate in. You can even provide feedback on the samples you receive.

One of the things I really don’t like are the third-party offers they try to get you to sign up for, but you can always just pass them by. And their reward points program isn’t very good. But if you’re looking for free samples, look there. You’ll find some good ones.

Some other good places to find freebies:
• The Free Site
• WeeklyFreebie.com
• All Free Samples
• Freaky Freddies

A word of caution: Beware of sites that promise free stuff in exchange for completing “offers”. Most of the time the offer you have to complete will cost you money. At the very least, they will want to send you emails. If you do give them an email address, use one that you don’t mind receiving spam at.
