I Love Free Things

The I Love Free Things app provides a constantly updated list of free samples that are simply out there for the taking. The app shows the list of free offers and you simply tap on the ones that you’d like to learn more about. You’ll then see a brief summary explaining what is being offered and what you need to do to receive the sample. There’s a line just below the summary that says “Visit this offer”. If you tap here you’ll be taken to a website where you can fill out the necessary forms. There’s also a line about comments. Here you can read what others have to say about the offer or put in your own two cents. You should see a star at the top right of the screen when you’re viewing the offer. Tap it and this free offer is added to a favorites list. As you go down the main list viewing each offer they will be marked as “read”. You can also mark all as read if you don’t want to take the time to look at them individually. In the top right corner is a refresh button. Tap that and the main list will update. Along the bottom of the screen are two buttons. One for “Search” and one for “Favorites”. Pretty self-explanatory. Search allows you to enter keywords about freebies you’re looking for. Favorites shows the offers that you’ve marked.

As I went through the list I saw a few things that interested me but the ones I was interested in wanted me to join their mailing lists. Unfortunately, I’m not willing to do that unless the freebie is a product I really want and I don’t mind the inevitable email. I’m not going to join a mailing list just to get something for free that I’ll probably never use again. To be fair, there were probably offers on the list that didn’t require that. I just didn’t select those products. Ok, coming off the soapbox now. None of that little rant has much to do with the I Love Free Things app itself. It is fine, easy to use and well done. The app does what it says it will, it provides you with access to oodles of free sample offers. I Love Free Things is free so it’s worth checking out to see if there’s something out there that you just can’t live without.

Enough of my ranting about mailing lists, I’m going to close with something that gave me a chuckle this past weekend. It also actually relates to free things and how they can be wonderful, or not, depending on your perspective. I visited our local Co-Op grocery store last weekend for the first time. It was a lot to take in, I had no idea how much stuff could be packed into one building, but I did notice a sign on the counter of the coffee bar tucked right in the middle of the store. The sign read “Unattended children will be given a free espresso and puppy”. My seven year old daughter was with me and she really wanted to know what unattended children meant. I think she was hoping that she was one so she could take a puppy home. No such luck I’m afraid. I loved the sign but I wouldn’t love those freebies, that’s for sure! Talk about an effective threat! I’ll bet every parent who visits the Co-Op keeps a firm grip on their kiddos!
