Tip #1: Register for every store rewards card that you can find. I registered with CVS's rewards program several months ago and I have already gotten a few things free. I'm not sure if you can read the detail on the postcard in the picture but it says they will pay up to $10.99 so I can try their razor. In addition to occasional offers like that you can also get coupons emailed to you for money off of a purchase like $4 off of $20. That might not sound like a lot but that is before any coupons. So if your total is $20 reduced down to $4 after coupons(which is not that uncommon), the amount off coupon covers the rest so you can get $20 for free. Sounds a lot better doesn't it?
Tip #2: If you are following any money saving blogs and they post about a freebie, fill out the info and get the freebie. Sometimes you get small samples that only last one use, but sometimes you get things like the blotting linens on the right side of the picture. They are resting on the company's brochure and if you can see the type, the blotting papers normally cost $10 for 100 sheets. My sample was 100 sheets. And even if the sample is a small one, they often include a decent valued coupon to use later.
Tip #3: Create a separate email account for these offers. Some companies will only send you an occasional email about their product or store but some will send multiple emails per day. It is much easier to keep track of all your offers if you have them going into one account away from your private or business emails.
I wish every trip to the mailbox was like yesterday's.
$20 worth of free products. Not bad just for filling out a few forms.
