Saving and Free Stuff

Recently, I've had a few people ask how I'm always getting free samples, free stuff, special coupons, etc. There are a few sites I use regularly. I'm listing them bellow for your enjoyment.



Coupons.com is one of the best for simply clipping coupons. I also use Redplum and Smartsource. Also, The Krazy Coupon Lady and a great directory of where to find printable coupons around the net. For Michiganders, A Mitten Full of Savings pairs coupons with sale items at Target, Meijer, and Walmart. She also posts contests from time to time for gift cards and what not! Like A Mitten Full of Savings on Facebook for easier access.


Check for Apps! Mperks and Target Cartwheel are amazing! With Target Cartwheel you can use your Red Card to save 5% on top of the Cartwheel savings. You can also use one manufacture paper coupon and one Target paper coupon. Can you say holy savings!? Both of these are                                                            available online and via smartphone app.


My favorite all time app is Ibotta. You simply go to the store and shop as normal, use coupons if you wish. Ibotta posts offers for specific items. It's great! You scan your receipt and scan the bar code on the specific product and walla! Savings! You then have the option of transfering the money you earned to a paypal account or onto a gift card for specific retailers.

For freebies and samples I use FreebieShark. It's a new website I recently found, but holy crap! They have a database of where you can find free samples and sweepstakes where you can win free products! If you like them on Facebook you can stay up to date easier. Recently I was able to sign up for 2 full size Mary Kay lip gloss, free Wheat Thins, and free Oreos! It might require a little effort, like Tweeting something - but it's totally worth it!



Finally, INFLUENSTER! Sign up, review products, earn badges, and hopefully you will qualify for a Voxbox! These boxes contain full size products for you to test and review. Complete the VoxBox tasks on their site after you receive the box to possibly win more free stuff! Recently I won a years supply of toothbrushes and two full size toothpaste!


Don't forget to check out the websites of your favorite brands! They will often post coupons and special offers! Use their contact us links to send feedback, sometimes they will send coupons!
