Think samples are nothing but a scam?

So, I was once one who though that samples were a joke. But now I think my mailman hates me! Checking the mail is now one of the things my daughter and I look forward to! And you wouldn't believe how many are shipped to you from Fed Ex and UPS! Sometimes there's some extra work put into it, or you need to be available at the right time for giveaways, or you just ask!

This is only about half of what has come in a little over a month! This doesn't include the socks that I've already worn, the diapers/pull ups that my daughter has already worn, things we've already eaten, things that my daughter has destroyed, coupons that we used and the stuff is already gone, things my husband has taken to work, that I've already given away, or that I just completely forgotten about!

Don't believe in giveaways? This is the first giveaway that I've won and received. There are others that I'm still waiting for. But think about it... it took me about a minute to enter my information in that day, my name was drawn as well as many others. These are all full sized products!!!!

Like to throw parties? Have a company sponsor it! There are websites out there like House Party, My Party, and Party Palooza. All you have to do is apply to the parties that they have available. In most cases they will send you specific products to be the main focus, some will send you things to handout to your guests, and at times you may even get paid! This delivery was from Martini Gold! What did I have to do? All I had to do is write an e-mail to them and sell myself as a host!

This is about 2 weeks worth of FREE subscriptions, and there are many more that haven't arrived yet!

This spa kit is great and may end up being a Christmas gift.

 Now remember when I said that you can write companies? I spent about 20 minutes a day looking up companies for dog products for a friend of ours. All I simply did was ask for samples or coupons to try their product out. These 2 pictures do not show the 4 cans of dog food, bag of treats, and 7lb bag of dog food that we also got, or the many coupons we have yet to fill!

 So let me ask you... is it worth the work it takes? I think so! It makes getting the mail fun, it gives you a challenge to see what you can find! There are a few things I cannot mention that I've gotten, but that's because I received them as a product tester. (I could tell you what they are, but I just don't want to loose the option of being able to do so). You can make money playing instant win games (I've won gift cards), be paid to take surveys and test product, and voice your opinion! The most important thing is to have fun doing it!!!!
