Something Free.

[Georgiesmum]

Years ago, we used to get lots of things free, from toys in our cereal packets to free samples of washing powder with vouchers put in our doors.
When was the last time you had something free, and was it any good?
Are you still using something that was given to you free years ago?

Life. It's ok most of the time. And much much better than the alternative.

Tonight. I got a free bottle of Prosecco at Pizza Express for my birthday. It was £20 on the menu so yes, it was good. You just have to sign up to their emails and they give you the voucher for the Prosecco for your birthday.

Mostly pens that come in envelopes and ones that I got from the Ideal Home Show.

Had a free carafe of wine two nights ago, purely because I told the owner of the restaurant his food was blinkin delicious. Still suffering now!

Recieved a big bag of Eukanuba puppy food and a box, scoop and £5 voucher today, for contacting them on the internet and giving them the details of my new pup. X

Some of the ads on tv offer free samples by visiting their website. I've had panty liners, Anti Wrinkle cream, Kitten food and several more.

Fed up of getting free cards from charities to whom I make monthly contributions. They are asking for more. I give what I can afford. They keep telling me what an extra £20 can do. If I have not got it they can't have it.

Really annoying isn't it Daisy, some of them are just too greedy.
Couple of years ago my friend who is blind and in a wheelchair wanted to raise some money for a charity that had helped his cousin,
I helped and at the end sent the money off, I recieved a reciept for the money ( which was a very substantial amount ) and a letter asking if I would like to make another donation please!!!! the nerve, it went straight in the bin. X

2 cups of coffee yesterday when the till operators got in a muddle with our lunch order.

I once won an ipod for the cost of a text using someone else's crisp packet, though I didn't even pay for it.
Yes it was worth it.

We did a free trial for honey nut loops ad we are awaiting an email to say that our free innocent product is on it's way (via refrigerated courier!). I love free stuff.

Two boxes of tea bags on Sunday and I won a television but it went off to uni...x

Some charities really annoy me. I rang to donate a monthly fee to a certain charity, the ad asked for £2 a month, I offered £5. The person on the end of the phone said "Is that all". I said "I've changed my mind goodbye".

I do a lot of online surveys and some are product related, they then send the product and you evaluate it - dishwasher tabs/Fabric Conditioner/Air fresheners/Beauty products etc

Free cups of tea or coffee, one every day, in Waitrose, just by joining their loyalty club. The pot of tea is enough for two.

Just remembered I'm waiting on a free sandwich box which I claimed after buying the relevant number if packets of dutch cheese.

You get a lot of beauty samples and gifts usually with women's magazines like Marie Claire and Red, I have actually gone on to use products that I first tried this way so they are effective advertising.
