I am always looking for a deal. With five children, it's not a choice or an option but completely mandatory. The best deals are the free ones! I don't care if it's a one time use of a shampoo product, every little bit counts.

I can't afford a lot of the brand named items, so when I find a site that offers free samples of these high dollar useful items I get all excited.

I have visited the Wal Mart On-Line site several times , as I am a card holder, but I never noticed that they have a "Free Samples" section! How could this be? Oh, the goodies I've been a missing! I got on there too late for the Beckham's free cologne and perfume sample! Darn the luck! but they do have other pretty good offers!

Some of these items are brand new to the market and ask if you would like to provide feedback on the item, but don't worry, even if you choose not to, they will still send you the sample!

Other things I do, which I'm sure a lot of other folks do too, is I gather my coupons each week and the sales papers and I match my coupons to the locations that may have that item on sale or even better yet, a Buy-One-Get-One free! Of course this strategy works best if you have many of the locations near by or close to one another and even if you may pass one of these locations on your way to work or taking the kids to school. It's no use with the price of gas, running miles around just to save a few cents! But dollars would be worth it!

Besides, I love going to the mailbox and receiving these treasures , even though I have to wait sometimes 4 to 8 weeks for delivery!

I have added some links to some of the sites I visit from time to time- it is time consuming but Hey...if you've got a few minutes and want to save a few dollars- what do you have to lose??

I love sharing money saving ideas- I would love to hear yours!
