Free stuff I got in 2011

January 2nd, 2012 at 11:54 pm

Since I am an inveterate list-maker (it would likely take years of therapy to understand why), here is my list of stuff I got for free in 2011, via online survey product testing, online forums and other sources.

6-pak of flavored Propel water
4 rolls toilet paper
Box of Kleenex
3 rolls Charmin Extra Strong
1 tube of Tom’s of Maine toothpaste
About a half dozen free Teva-Neuroscience dinners plus free lip balm, sunscreen, pens, tote bags
22 free cans of Halo cat food
3 cases (24 bottles each) of bottled water with returnable deposits (via my town, after Hurricane Irene)
4 rolls of Angel Soft toilet paper, plus 10 $2 off coupons (She Speaks)
Facial cleanser, moisture tint lotion with SPF, lip balm and eyebrow pencil
2 boxes kitchen garbage bags (40 bags total)
$35 ($15, $15 and $5) in Amazon gift cards (credit card forum,) Redeemd $12 for 1 yr sub. To Kiplinger’s, redeemed $21 for Amazon.com hand mixer. Balance $2.
Another $40 in Amazon gift cards from same forum. Redeemed with $2 balance above for a pair of navy slip-on Grasshopper sneakers and 2 packets of soybean vegetable seeds!
3 Masonicare free dinner/lectures
2 rolls paper towels (Nov)

$25 Sears gift card (from My Views) used to buy for 13.5 lb bucket of cardinal bird seed and paid for most of one very nice pair of thick boot socks

    Surveys and product samples: Myview, Toluna, Pinecone, Global Test Market, I Say and Opinion Outpost. It's through the online surveys that you very occasionally may get invited (if you qualify) to participate in an ongoing forum on a given subject, which is where you'd get the Amazon gift cards. The Teva Nueuroscience dinners are free for people who have MS and the free Masonicares dinner/lectures are a local thing in my area I often see in the paper. The cat food, umm, was an online coupon I discovered I could continuously print, and so I did.
