The reason behind many companies reaching out to you today through advertisement to get your attention is so that they can make sales and get your loyalty. They use means such as TV ads, internet, Email marketing and even rolling ads on vehicles and billboards. An interesting part is you being able to score their samples for free. Everybody loves to get free things. Some of these companies give away their products with the hope of getting you to stay loyal to them and gain product insight as well as attracting and retaining customers. Some of the resources you can check to get these free things are listed below as you read on.

- Grove.co
The Grove Collaborative is an online website for healthier, more natural cleaning products, household products, and personal care items. When you sign up and make your first order, they send you free full sized products to try and keep- no opinions required! By putting out some money for items you would buy anyway, you can get as much value back for free on your first purchase.

- Birthday rewards
There are a ton of companies who give free items on your birthday (or birthday month) when you sign up for their loyalty program. A sampling of companies that offer freebies for your bday include: Red Robin, Benihana, Denny’s, Baskin Robbins, Jersey Mike’s, Petsmart Treats program, Chik-fil-a, Chili’s, Applebee’s, Buca Di Bepo, Starbucks and so many more! Chances are most of your favorite retailers have something up their sleeves for your birthday if they have any type of rewards program.
- Facebook, Craiglist and Nextdoor
People are just looking for ways to get rid of their things sometimes and they might not want to deal with hauling it out themselves or they might not be able to bear the thought of throwing away an item that they once cherished. Local people looking to give things away do so through sites such as Facebook, Craiglist and Nextdoor. You can then repurpose, renew and reuse the items gotten from them. Be thankful for the generosity and get creative with the item.
- Coupon apps like Ibotta and Checkout 51
Apps like Ibotta and Checkout 51 offer rebates by submitting a picture of your receipt after you shop. Before shopping, check the app for offers that apply to you and make note of them on your shopping list. If you are not super brand specific, it isn’t hard to find triple savings that can result in a free item. Let me explain. You need ketchup, but you don’t care what brand. You go on your Ibotta app and lo-and-behold- there is a dollar off savings for Ketchup! You peruse Checkout 51 and- bam! They have one too. Now for the ringer, check the store app and see if they have a sale or a digital coupon that may apply as well. On occasion, you will be lucky enough to hit all three and walk away with free items. And from time to time, using just the Ibotta app, there are free purchase deals that stand alone and don’t need to be combined to benefit. Combining coupons in this way maximizes efforts by getting free stuff and keeping grocery bills down too. Whatever your way to save and shop, keep socking away those dollars.
