Seven Way To Get Free Stuff

Well this is easy and best of all, it works. I tried to look for the most obvious ways to receive free stuff. Anyone can do it but it makes it easier if you're over 18. One more place that I use to get money on is cashcrate.com. Check out my last post (<click here>) for more details on the subject.

1. 
   
2. 
   
3. Freebie websites such as RetailMeNot.com, has coupon codes that make it a lot easier than searching individual websites for discounts. The coupon codes may not always be for freebies, but their forum is a great place to go for a list of freebies posted by members.


4. Craigslist. It’s an obvious choice when looking for something used locally, but it also has a “free” area where hundreds of people are giving away their stuff. All you have to do is drive there to pick it up. Just be careful when meeting with strangers — don’t meet in a dark area and don’t give them money for something advertised as free.


5. Freecycle.org. Like Craigslist, Freecycle helps you find someone local who is giving away something for free. It’s a friendly place and an easy way to give away stuff you no longer need.


6. Mail-in rebates. I’m wary of a retailer requiring me to fill out paperwork to get a rebate on something I’ve had to pay cash for, but if it gets me something free that I was going to buy anyway, it’s often worth the effort. It’s better than getting a free sample of a product since it’s something you were going to buy and you know you want. Just be sure you don’t have to pay any fees to get your money or anything else sent to you.


7. Credit card rewards. Free flights, gifts, hotel stays and other rewards for using your credit card may not seem like much of a freebie since you have to spend money to accumulate the reward points. But if you’re buying things that you’d normally buy anyway, you might as well get something out of it if you can afford the annual fee that usually comes with such credit cards.


8. Store loyalty cards. These are easy to use because they’re free. I have cards for my local yogurt shop, which gives me a few ounces for free after buying 10 servings. Grocery stores also have them, and at Panera I get a free drink or cookie after every few visits.


9. Houseparty.com. I haven’t hosted one of these, but they sound intriguing. Companies will provide you with food for hosting a party to promote their product. You give out one of their products and some other freebies to guests, and you get to keep a product, such as free diapers or enough rice to feed your family for a while.
