Welcome to My Blog!

Hello everyone!

I'm a 20-year-old college student, and this is my new hobby!

My "freebie-addiction" started about a year ago when I came across a site called FreebieShark
On the website, there is a giant list of Instant Win Games & Sweepstakes (all legit)! I enter into all of the sweepstakes and instant win games. I haven't really won any big ticket items or large amounts of cash, yet I have won certain items such as candy bars, packages of Kleenex, and movie tickets! FreebieShark also posts links to websites giving out free samples, and also has great coupons you can print out!

I then came across a site called Crowdtap, where you answer polls and other questions for certain brands, get points, and are entered into drawings for gift cards (usually Amazon or Walmart). The more points you get, the better your chances are at winning. You are more likely to win one of the $5 gift cards, as there are more winners for those, but they add up! I have won about 8 five-dollar amazon gift cards since I've been a member. You can also apply for Missions, some of which will mail you a free sample of a product for you to review and get points for. Some samples I have received from this are Advil, Robitussin (full-sized), and Listerine Breath Strips.

I also use a website called PinchMe, where a couple times a month (on a Tuesday), you can request free samples (sometimes full-sized products), and they will send you a box full of those samples. You have to fill out a survey after signing up so they know what kind of products to let you request. Samples become available on Tuesday's at 12 PM ET, and if you are too late, you may not be able to request much. Some people will not be able to see certain samples available, especially if their profile surveys are incomplete, or if they have not completed surveys for past samples. It also may take awhile for you to receive your box. I think it has taken up to a month for me to receive boxes, at times. 

Another site like PinchMe is SampleSource. It is basically the same idea as PinchMe. You have to fill out your profile and a short survey. On certain days (they will email you if you're a member), samples become available. Pick the ones of your choice, and they will ship a box of them to you. On the website, it states that samples are usually only available during Summer, Spring, and Fall. 

A website/app that I just started using is Influenster. Influenster is sort of like PinchMe, where it sends you boxes of samples (I haven't received any yet). In order to be applicable tor receive samples you must have a high Social Impact score. This can be achieved by connecting all of your Social Media accounts and inviting friends. If you write a lot of reviews for products, and fill out surveys when they become available, you can also become more eligible to receive free products. I still have not learned everything about this site, and have yet to receive any samples from it, but I'll update you when that happens!

Another one is called Smiley360. It's similar to SampleSource, as they want you to fill out a survey and give out samples based on what you qualify for to review.
