Allow me to introduce you to a relatively new industry that has been taking advertising by storm. I am sure you’ve heard of them. Sites that claim that you can win a Free Ipod, flatscreen TV, computer and much more. You know these are sneaky websites as they require to you fulfil or participate in offers that cost significant amounts of money and so try to ignore them. Often it frustrates you that these sites exist with their annoying pop-ups but believe it or not, there are sites that exist on the Net that deal exclusively with freebies.

Whilst you might be disappointed that you will not be getting the latest Apple i-Pad, these small free samples and freebies actually can save you hundreds if not thousands each year on your expenses whether it be groceries or something else. It really is dependent on how you place value on such products.

Who doesn’t want free samples? Large and small companies alike offer free samples to give consumers a chance to sample both their new and existing product lines.

Major brands conduct continual online free stuff campaigns because they know that online sampling works. It provides a platform that not only do online free samples get consumers to try their products, but it is also very effective in raising brand awareness and reducing negative bias if it exists. Extensive research from large brands that conduct frequent sampling campaigns demonstrate that, even though online free sample campaigns can be four to five times more expensive than local sampling campaigns, they are eight to ten times more effective. They place their product in front of the target consumer, they raise brand awareness through the campaign promotion, and they provide valuable consumer information that in-store sampling campaigns are unable to achieve.

However you want to be visiting websites that provide you with the best free stuff available and not contain affiliate links or scams. And hence you still need to be wary and careful when hunting for the freebies. You want to save money, but not at the expense of being bombarded with unwanted emails and advertisements. Hence the following 2 sites I would highly recommend as they don’t contain affiliate links and therefore not waste your time.

FreeStuff4Free.com – an easy to navigate and great looking website. It has all you need covering many categories including baby freebies so no one is left out! This site is updated daily so there is removal of expired links when necessary.

Freestufftimes.com – this site is heavily text based and therefore may not appeal to everyone, however they update their site throughout the day and night so checking back every couple of hours will result in new freebies being available.

So use this knowledge to help you save money this year. Freebies is not a dirty word. It’s the new buzz word for those who are struggling financially.

I can’t believe the extensive use of online coupons and their popularity. When I began couponing, it was essentially picking up the Sunday paper and cutting out coupons that would save me money on products that I sometimes didn’t actually want. But with the move towards social networking, coupons have also evolved and now coupons can be accessed for free with significant savings from the comfort and security of your home using the Internet. Free online coupons may not only be redeemable in online stores but also in store as well. This is now that much more important as we try to trade our way out of this tough recession. There is absolute value with online coupons and the best thing is that it is for everyone to share. For those of you who love to shop, you could actually save thousands of dollars with valuable coupons when buying online or offline if you know where to look.

I support couponing so much that I now carry an extra pouch full of coupons separate to my purse. They themselves are categorized so I can quickly search for what I need and save on time and money.

Online coupons are basically an advertisement and promotional gimmick that is used by businesses and manufacturers to attract new or service existing customers to establish and maintain them into loyal shoppers who will come back to purchase regularly. You can buy a wide variety of products and services by using these usually overlooked coupons that most people take for granted. Many people don’t realize coupons are a valuable resource and don’t bother using them because they think that saving pennies is not worth the time or effort. In reality, there are coupons out there that can save you significant dollars. For example, combining multiple coupons with in-store promotions can often nab you products as freebies and not a cent to pay!

If you don’t know how to go about this, just do a search for coupons on the Net you will inevitably come across 3 different categories of couponing sites.
1 – You will find coupons that are directly of the manufacturer or company’s website.
2 – You will find sites that specialize in coupons and are basically affiliates or the one stop shop for all your coupons. Sites such as Coupons.com, couponmom.com, redplum.com and coolsavings.com are just examples.
3 – You will find adhoc coupons from sites like FreeStuff4Free.com which are useful but are there to compliment their free stuff site.

Not only are coupons just to give discounts, often coupons will give you free samples. Whilst it may look silly and costly for companies to engage with this, by making you print out the coupon, they have succeeded in brand promotion. To receive your free sample, they will require you to go in store and generally when you are there you are likely to purchase other products, therefore the company offsets the cost of the free sample with the profits from the sale of other products.

Exploring different methods of saving money and combining them with already existing methods will increase your savings significantly.
Adopt the smart way of shopping through coupons. Take advantage and enjoy saving money today!
