In the beginning...

So, the past week I've signed up for and received quite a few samples. I've decided that once a week probably on Sunday I'm going to do a post showing all the goodies I've gotten. In addition to just showing them I'm going to review some of them. Since I haven't taken my pictures yet, I'll just tell you some of my favorite freebie blogs and websites.

Samples

One of my all time favorite sample blogs. Cher gives links to real samples that don't have gimmicks or hidden fees.
http://www.myfreeproductsamples.com 

Usually has a pretty up-to-date listing of available samples.

Product Reviews

Bzzagent will send full size products to review. You do have to qualify, but there are no fees. You can qualify by answering short surveys. Most of the surveys give you points for mypoints. After you've qualified and received your sample you review it on the website.

Smiley360 is similar to Bzzagent in that, you also get full size products to sample. The surveys with this site are usually geared more toward the specific item that they need tested. You still leave a review after you've received and tested the item.

Influenster has a surveys and badges that you fill out/qualify for, and they use these to determine what products to send you to test. This site sends out a Voxbox packed with full sized products for you to tryout and review.
