How Do I Get Free Stuff??

A few people have asked me about how I get so many free samples. I thought I'd share with you the sites, how to get free samples, and about how much effort it will take to get products to try before you buy!

Bzz Agent
I usually spend about 20 min all month between the surveys and stuff you need to do once you get a campaign. I've gotten everything from toys, shampoo, gum, alcohol, books, pasta. Lots of free full sized samples (especially food) and LOTS of coupons.

PinchMe
Once a month, you can log in at noon and get a box of samples you can pick from. Then you have to leave a quick review. Over the past few months, though, I haven't been eligible for samples, which I think is ridiculous. 

CrowdTap
Probably the most time-consuming. daily polls, photos, posts, questionnaires etc. But for every 1000 points, you earn $5 Amazon cards. I've got $40 in the past month. Then you can also apply for missions and sample kits. I've gotten everything from Summer's Eve to granola bars, band-aids etc.  Full-size products. 

Smile360
Similar to BzzAgent and Crowdtap. That's where I've got the Gelocity and Turkey Hill products. I'm still new at this one, but it's been worth it so far. 

Sample Source
All you have to do for this one is just log in when they tell you to and say which samples you want. 

Happy Samples! :)

BIC® Gel-ocity® Quick Dry Gel Pens

Huzzah! I've been picked to receive some amazing gel pens! I am a firm believer in hand written notes. Little reminders that you are worth more than a text or quick email. 

I am also super picky about my pens! No regular roller ball pens for me. I need a nice, smooth line that doesn't bleed. Some of my favorite pens do this but also smudge. So getting accepted for this mission is SUPER exciting. Quick Dry and no smearing. 

I know they say to share these with the kids, but I am totally keeping these for myself!

Here is what the mission page has to say: 

There's so much you can do with BIC® Gel-ocity® Quick Dry Gel Pens! When sharing about your Mission, think about putting your pen to use in some of the following ways:

Use a BIC® Gel-ocity® Quick Dry Gel Pen to leave a funny or sweet handwritten note around the house to show a loved one you’re thinking of them (who doesn't love a handwritten note!)

Go old-school and handwrite your social media posts!
Have your teenager write a list of their favorite memories from the past school year (and watch how quickly the ink dries!)*
Back-to-school season is coming up - let's see your teenager's back-to-school wish list!
