Everyone loves getting something for nothing! That being said, a lot of people hesitate to use online sites for freebies, figuring that there is too much hassle involved in getting started. Other people get fed up with all the junk mail that these sites generate, in fact, does anybody like getting constant junk mail? The sites which we are going to list below are for freebies that are actually useful. Household goods, free magazines and birthday presents are all on offer! Who wouldn’t love that?
A lot of freebie sites say you have to register – also you will have to provide your address so that the freebies can be sent out to you. What is the best way to provide the required information without signing up to a heap of junk mail or giving away too much private information? Using technology the right way is the secret to success. The sites below are among the best of the freebie sites (just so you know, they are not in rank order).
Free Canada Samples
An easy to use site, Free Canada Samples has over 600 freebies on offer. Five or six new ones are added every day so you will always be able to check out something new.
The majority of the freebies in this site are samples, so you can get your hands on toys, eco friendly products, shampoo and chocolate. Toiletry samples are great, especially if you plan to travel or take a vacation somewhere in the near future.
The site also has a hints and tips section which is great for understanding how to make the most of freebie offers (like setting up a second email address). They also have an app that you can sign into that lets you check out the latest freebies wherever you happen to be.
Gumtree
Gumtree Freebies is a lot like Freecycle, members who have items they want to get rid of can upload them for viewing.
Do expect to trawl through a lot of rubbish first (in saying that what one person calls junk, another person may call perfect) but don’t give up too easily, if you keep searching you will see that there are some good items out there. In fact, within one day we saw a dishwasher, a trampoline and a vintage typewriter.
You can be as specific as you like when it comes to location for pick up, however being too fussy might mean you miss out on a great offer.
Keep an eye on the site regularly as items move fast. However, if you are after something specific you can list a wanted advert. Who knows, you might just receive contact from someone with the exact item.
