Who says nothing in life is free?

There is a common misconception that nothing in life is free. NOT TRUE!!!! You can get all kinds of things for free, you just have to know where to look! A lot of people will come across free samples or giveaways and pass them up thinking it isn't worth their time. Freebies are awesome! Not only do you get something FREE (even if it is just a small sample), but they often include high value coupons! Freebies are also fun, who doesn't love getting mail!?!?!

In the last year alone I have gotten more samples of shampoo/conditioner/body wash than I can count. I have also gotten samples of snacks, candy, diapers, etc. I have also signed up for and received coupons for free products such as cereal, macaroni and cheese, milk, BBQ sauce, hot dogs, baby food, Oreo's, wrinkle release spray, and many more!

Another way to get things for free is by using coupons and shopping sales of course! I have posted numerous times about awesome deals where I have either gotten things for free, or MADE MONEY buying things. There is nothing like going to the store and getting paid to take things away!

Lastly I just want to mention a new way I have been getting things for free. GIVEAWAYS!!!! In the last week I have won a six month supply of organic baby/toddler food, a $200 Target gift card, and just today I won a free toddler bed! Instead of spending my free time playing games online, I am now entering giveaways. It only takes a few minutes, which is good because I don't have a lot of time to put into it. I think it has really paid off!

Some people say that these things aren't free since it does take a little bit of time to sign up for things and go get the deals. Well being a stay-at-home mom is certainly the best and most important job, but since it doesn't pay in dollars, my time isn't technically worth anything. So when I have some free time and I get something for it it is like making money for me!

So keep your eyes out for freebies, deals, and giveaways; they can be very worth your while! If I come across anything amazing, I'll post it here for ya! Now I just need to win $25,000 on Wheel of Fortune. I figure if somebody has going to win, it might as well be me!!!!
