Relax, I’m not trying to get rid of kittens (or a gassy beagle puppy). Today’s list is a sampling of Internet sites that offer free stuff.
All it might cost is a bit of your time. I know, sometimes we have way more extra money than we do extra time, but if you do have a minute or two to spare you might be able to help your wallet. I won’t lie, when you’re poor, it’s nice to get little surprises in the mail, even if it is just a sample of fancy shampoo or laundry soap.
Note: I’ve personally used all these sites and fully recommend them as being hassle/spam/spyware free.
Absurdly Cool Freebie Finder – A free stuff aggregator, you can find offers for free samples of name brand products, free magazine subscriptions, coupons for free fast food/restaurant items and so much more.
Creative Busy Bee – A freebie finder for digital scrapbooking/altered art/hybrid supplies. Listings for everything from a single element or paper to full kits.
Free Patterns – Free patterns for quilting, sewing, yarn work needlework, beading, paper crafts and general crafting. Also has several contests/giveaways going at any given time.
Free Stuff Finder– Same premise as the first site, although the offers seem to be a little better. Also noticed several offers/listings for free Kindle books. (And did you know you don’t need an actual Kindle? If you’re registered at Amazon you can get a cloud reader app for your computer, or you can get a free android kindle app.)
Giveaway of the Day – This site is a gem. The premise is simple – software developers offer a product through GOTD, allowing full version downloads for free. The only catch is you have to download and activate within the 24-hour period. They’ve offered software for photo editing, music editing, audio/video burners, utility programs, and office programs to name a few.
I hope you enjoy, or at least find them useful. And as always, feel free to pass along any links I’ve missed.

Free is my favorite four-letter word. Well, my favorite happy four-letter word.
I think we probably share some favorite words :-D
Quite probably :)
I have to be very cautious at Fella’s, because his parrot is a vocabulary sponge. And, well, neither he nor I (nor his mother) would be too happy to hear Gracie call someone an asshole or tell them to fuck off. It’s practice for toddlers.
Well, I just got some free gummy vitamins and some Eucrerin lotion thanks to you listing the free stuff finder. Thanks!
You’re so welcome, I’m glad you found something useful :-D
I’ll bookmark that Giveaway of the Day one, although I already know I will probably only activate 30% of what I get. It’s the idea that counts.
Yeah I’ll be honest a good portion of what GAOTD offers are programs I can’t/don’t use, but the ones I do need are awesome. Today’s Photoshop type program has me tickled pink.
I IMMEDIATELY jumped on that one. Thank you so much for sharing it!
Oh cool, so glad you like it. I haven’t had a chance to play with it yet, let me know what you think of it!
It looks really neat. I messed around with the brush options, and I was impressed by how well they mimicked various art mediums. I wish I still had my tablet’s stylus so I could make more use of it. (I don’t like doing graphic art without one!) This might give me reason to get a replacement.
Oh cool, I can’t wait to start playing with it. And hey, another reason to break down and get a tablet, I needed one!
