Tips on Signing Up for FREEBIES!

Getting FREE stuff in the mail is the best but I want to make sure that you are getting just that...totally FREE stuff. Here are a few tips to when signing up for freebies:

1. NEVER sign up for a freebie that requires you to give your credit card information. Any legitimate free offer will not ask for this.

2. You may want to create a separate email to use when signing up for freebies so your regular email doesn't get slammed. You can create a free account with google, yahoo, aol, etc...

3. Get in early- most freebies are of limited supply and once an offer is passed around the blogosphere, it goes fast!

4. Use legitimate sources to sign up for freebies, for instance - the company's own website, facebook, or twitter. Here are some great places to find freebies:

*My Chicago Mommy- check back often for the best free offers available!
*Walmart.com free samples
*Vocalpoint.com - sign up now to start receiving free samples, full sized items and high-value coupons
*Kraft first taste - sign up now to start receiving high-value coupons and more
*Pssst - sign up now for future free offers

5. Be wary - if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Unfortunately, not everybody is honest and there are people out to get your email to sell to companies. Believe me, there will be no goodies at your door and your email will be spammed. Unless it comes directly from the company offering the freebie, just pass it up.

6. Be patient - most offers take 4-10 weeks to arrive.

Now go have fun filling up your mailbox!!
