Companies That Offer Free Samples and Coupons

Who doesn't like a freebie once in a while? Especially when it comes from a reputable company that's only one click away!

Samples and coupons will not make you rich, nor pay your bills. But they are a great way to try new products and save some money. I have made numerous shopping decisions (not necessarily in favor of) based on a sample sent to me. Free offers change often, so check back with all of these sites to see what they're offering.

The best thing about some of these companies is that you don't have to "Like" them on Facebook, send messages on Twitter, or complete surveys. With the companies I've listed first, simply sign in, input your mailing information, and wait for the free sample to show up in your mail). It will take less than 15 minutes sign up and up to six weeks for samples to arrive.

I've found a few others that do require registration. It's up to you! It can be worth it to receive a few extra emails if it means saving lots of money!
