Free trials are a common type of freebie found just about anywhere that you can find a business. Normally, if it is a service provider, they will offer the first month or first three months free. This may be contingent on you signing up and making a prepayment on the following months. This is a common practice for magazine subscriptions as well. There is usually a stipulation that you can cancel anytime, but once the subscription starts rolling in and the free period has ended, you are responsible for making payment on the subscription.
Coupons:
The Internet is also a good place to find coupons. Discount coupons are available by joining sites set up specifically for coupons. You can also visit the web sites of the stores you shop at. Sometimes they will offer online or in-store coupons for you to print and use. Not only can you find discount coupons for free, but you can also get coupons that offer free stuff. Logging on to a company’s web site is a good way to find this type of freebie. You may find coupons for free candy bars, gum, toothpaste, and more.
Free Stuff for Kids:
Freebies aren’t just for adults. Kid freebies are everywhere on the Internet. A good place to start is on the web site of your child’s favorite television show or channel. On these sites you will find free downloads, games, coloring pages, kid’s clubs and more. Another way to look up cool free stuff for kids is to look up their favorite book or author. These sites often offer free bookmarks, book excerpts, posters and contests. From a general search, you can find free crafts, paper puppets, greeting cards, party invitations, stickers, and posters, to name a few.
Freecycling:
In an effort to keep things from being sent to the landfills, some environmentally conscious people are recycling their unwanted items for free. There are web sites that support these offers. One such site is www.freeccylce.org. It allows users to post items within a local area for pick-up. No fees are allowed to be exchanged between parties. You can post offers as well as want ads. Most items are used, but if you are looking for household items, toys, and other miscellaneous things, this is the place to get them for free. It is also a great place to offer your unwanted items in an effort to keep the landfills from filling up with items someone else can potentially use.
