How to get more free stuff in 2014!!!!!

First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season.  It has been a while since I made a post, sorry, but busy with the holidays, went out of town, and when we got back the little man got really sick.  Now things are starting to slow down.  My New Years Resolution is to be better organized this year, so I am making me a daily/weekly checklist, and one of the items is to do my blog at least twice per week, hopefully more if time allows :) So let's get this years blog posts started!!



Well times are hard for us all, so how do we make ends meet in this economy? It is easier than you think! There is so many ways to get lots of great free stuff now days, and it is not just small samples, you can get full size products that you will really use!!! So for my first blog of the year I am going to give you a bunch of references on how to get you some great free stuff this year.  So here we go!

First of all join loyalty programs and programs that give out free items either monthly or randomly, here are a few to make sure to join. The first 4 are Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, Live Better America and Box Tops for Education.  They give out 10,000 full size samples every month, you must be a member one day prior to the samples being offered, so make sure to go sign up now, so you can grab you some full size samples for January.  It usually takes 4-6 weeks to receive the samples. They send out emails with the link to get your samples, so make sure when you sign up you chose to get email notifications.  Here are the websites:
Betty Crocker
Box Tops for Education
Live Better America
Pillsbury

Also make sure to sign up with all of the tobacco companies, even if you don't smoke you can get some really cool free stuff from them.
Marlboro
Black N Mild
Copenhagen
Grizzly
L & M
Skoal

Follow freebie pages on facebook, there are a lot to chose from, so I won't list them all, and make sure once you like the page, hover over the like button and chose to get notifications, then you will get notified everytime a freebie or contest is posted, here is the link to my facebook freebie page:
Freebie Nation

Also make sure that you enter lots of contests, whether they are on twitter, facebook etc, I list lots of them on Freebie Nation, so make sure you choose to get notifications.  When freebies are slow, that is a great way to get some cool free stuff :)

Okay, now you need to join some word of mouth companies.  These are companies that give you samples or full size items to try for free so that you will share with your family and friends through word of mouth and on your social media.  Here are the best ones to join:
Purex Insiders (if you have a blog or facebook page)
Influenster
Smiley360
BzzAgent
Swaggable
HouseParty
Klout
InstaGC (complete tasks to earn points to use for gift cards)

Now remember, if you are just joining it may take a month or two sometimes more to get chosen to try products, but believe me once you start getting them, they just keep coming!!!

And my newest way to get free stuff is from the Social Toaster Apps on Facebook, companies use Social Toaster to advertise for them and if you join and share posts etc with your friends, you will earn points and every month they give out prizes.  Here are some of my favorite ones, make sure you join :)
Duck Dynasty
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Neuro Water
Social Toaster
Sony
Kurio
Bambeco
WebMechanix
Baltimore Ravens
Amazing Spiderman2
Elena Hight
Bounce Energy
Perdue Chicken  (this one they are giving out 10 - One year supply of Perdue Chicken)

And the last way is to get some really cool free gift cards, oh yeah, I said free gift cards!!! Just join Crowdtap and you do quickhits, answering questions from certain brands (Kotez, Durex, Hershey's, etc.) and for every 100 points you get an entry into a drawing for gift cards each month, the amount of gift cards given, and the dollar amounts vary by brand, and you decide how frequent or little you want to do it.  I get anywhere from $10-$90 per month, and I have seen one person get over $200 in gift cards in one month!!! Great way to save up for Christmas or birthdays!!!

Well that is all I have for you, I hope this helps you get some really cool free stuff this year.  If you have any questions, please feel free to leave them in the comments.  Hope you have a wonderful year full of free stuff!
