Hi to all...
JMO...here are some freebies that are a total waste of time..
you won't get em..so why bother???
>>any so called freebie from a terrashare or kcweb site..total scams, collecting email addys for spam, porn and reduce your debt junk
>> freebies from allure etc...NOT worth your time JMO...perhaps one person has gotten something from their stupid call in deals..think of the hours people spent on the phone??
NOT worth it...I am a grown woman, my time is more valuable than that, I refuse to sit on the phone again for a crummy sample
>>> Revlon...yes...in 97 revlon gave away little lipstick samples...nice..since then, nada
>>> Max Factor...in 97 or 98 they gave away foundation samples..since then..nada
>>> Dr Scholls>> NO freebies from them...that link has been posted umpteen zillion times..they dont even send ya counpons...ugh
<<< Junk freebies like the free pamplers/hugges...use your head..this is a site set up to collect email addys....Pampers and Huggies are competitors..
<<< Mary Kaye so called freebies...they are not real freebies..they give your info to a local mk rep..who will bug ya to hold a party...most of these gals do not have the $$ to give out free samples...if you read the fine print it is at the "reps discretion" blah blah..which means if you host a mk party you get a sample..
>>> Most all of the "loving hands at home" samples...candles, incense etc ...from homestead, geocities, angelfire free webspace sites ain't gonna come..
there are just toooo many freebie seekers ....these small places cant handle the requests and usually just disappear
>>> MOST business freebies...especially IT tech freebies, professional freebies etc..
nowadays these sites have wised up...they do check, call..
YES....we used to get "lucky" but lately this is not the case..
some small biz sites will send a freebie if you have a home biz, or pretend to...but as for the PRO or IT sites?? forget it
>>>any major company that has the nerve to post a freebie like dodge did...for the first 50 people??? oh puhleeze LOL...even the first "500" is pretty much a waste of time..
Lately when I see a totally stupid and misleading freebie like this, I write an email to the company letting them know I will never buy their product since they are taking advantage of freebie seekers and think we are dumb
>>> any freebie from another country..unless it clearly marked "international"....
think about it...do the math...think of the shipping costs...
they aint gonna send it LOL...why waste your time???
and on the subject of time wastes....when old freebies or NO show freebies are posted...
and people who KNOW the freebie is a know show etc...and post it...please believe us ok?? It is not a "put down" of the OP...it is just to let others know not to waste their time..
posting "the form went thru"...or "I will keep my fingers crossed"...just gives "false hope" to others and makes them waste their time....
it is a viscious cycle..
in a month or two we will see the same people posting a big "Freebies stink" post..
ie..."I have sent off for so much stuff and didn't get it...freebies stink" etc etc
well...the reason they think freebies stink is cause they have wasted so much time on stinkers like the above NO shows/scams/dead deals etc...
It gets discouraging....
YES there are still some decent freebies out there....get in early, get in fast..and get the freebies...use a form filler...make sure you "qualify" for the freebie...use a different aol email addy *not hotmai...just for ordering freebies...don't drive yourself nutz trying to keep elaborate charts and lists *I have seen many get discouraged cause keeping too many records is confusing and boring....do keep all printouts of reciepts and keep all
info on bargains, stuff you BUY...but forget keeping free sample lists...just not worth it JMO
Avoid the known bad freebies...and when people post a freebie is bad, think about it..
we have no reason to "make it up".,,,it no doubt is bad...and a waste of time...
Get in on freebies fast and dont waste time on known baddies
HTH
