How to live your life comfortably with only Free Stuff

Free is a term that is used quite carelessly. Many sites mean by "free" only that you won't have to shell out any cash. But some websites use the term in misleading ways. For example, many websites will offer "free stuff" that turns out to actually be useless discounts - i.e. spending $100 and getting a $10 reward. While you technically got some "free stuff," in this case 10 bucks, you were forced to do something that you probably would rather not have done to get it. To get this particular "free" item, you would have to spend almost $300.

Know the Right Places to Look: Knowing the right place to look is the best way to get all sorts of free stuff. You need to be able to tell the difference between something that is free and something that comes with strings attached. What do I mean by strings attached?...continued..



Amazingly, on some sites, you are required to pay a fee to receive the free items. No matter what, nothing is really free.

Truly free stuff does not exist, in essence. There is always a cost for most items, but as long as you do not give any CASH, then we will consider it free for all intense purposes. You will end up either referring a friend, filling out a survey, or, worst of all, BUYING something. In my opinion, the moment that you must make a purchase you are no longer dealing with a free offer, but that is a topic for another article. What you really want is a single site where you can get all your free stuff online.

What is available when it comes to free stuff you ask? If you go to the right website, you can get about everything you can buy at a store. You can get free stuff for teachers, free scrapbooking stuff, free Christian stuff, free baby stuff, free wedding stuff, and even free special occasion stuff, to name just a few. And also free iPods, yes you heard that right – FREE.

So, how can I get all this free stuff you ask? You may be wondering if you have been missing out on getting free stuff. Or, perhaps even more likely, you are wondering, "What's the catch?"; well, I am going to explain it all to you.

You have three options. One – you can take part in promotions and offers, two – fill out those forever long surveys or three – refer friends that you think would do it. After the required amount of friends have participated, you will receive your items. It might take some time for a person to refer friends, as they should be convinced, and hope that they agree to participate in a promotion, which the individual wanted to avoid.

You may not be okay with this. You may not like that very much. More than likely, your friends will now be bombarded with spam email, junk mail and other unwanted offerings, all courtesy of you. Do you really want to do this without asking your friends first?

If you make up your mind to take a survey, you could spend up to an hour on just a single survey. Get ready to let out a lot of personal information; what food you consume, how you eat that food, the way in which you wash you hands, and even which way you like the toilet paper roll. You will be forced to divulge a great deal of your personal information.

There are many merchants who, whether online or in a real store, are more than happy to give out free stuff if you visit their store or send in your address. There are times that you only have to pay the shipping to receive your item. The theory here is that if you try it and like it, you'll go out and buy it. Sometimes they are giving you things to make room for new inventory.

These offers never last long, and by the time you hear of them, they are usually over. In order to benefit from the offer, one has to find out about it in time. This can be a daunting task for anyone hunting for freebies. Joining a group and sharing your findings is your best bet. I am on a hunt to live entirely free, so I have nothing to do but look for these deals all day.
