Freebies (Again?)
If you read my Freebies post, you will know what an optimist I am and how, like a dog with a bone I don’t easily give up. So I shall sally forth into the realm of the unknown and try to seek out the freebie that be’est only in the flights of my imagination! (I have been reading Shakespeare, can you tell?)
I tried a different tack this time; I thought I would search for specific freebies: first I tried out free music. I’m talking legal music downloads not limewire and bootlegs. This site, has some cool music on offer; within seconds I had this nice track from the Buddha Lounge, but you need to buy most of the stuff. The Gibson Guitars site also has a quite extensive list of stuff you can download, but most of the stuff I found a little underwhelming. There is of course the famous Radiohead initiative where they gave their complete album for free download. Check out the remixed album here. There are other sites to be sure but they require registration.
Then I saw this advert for free Ben & Jerry ice cream cone sample! And I simply love Ben & Jerry’s ice creams, especially their out there flavors, so I really perked up but was rapidly crestfallen: that offer was for only one day: 29 April. Ah well, there is always next year.
Then there are Walmart freebies (I can see you’re thinking, finally this is getting interesting): John Frieda collection sample! Wonderful! I clicked on the get your sample link and Presto! I got the BROCHURE! You do however get free toothpaste samples and bedwetting shorts samples for the price of a few details and answering a few questions.
Since I love perfume, I thought let’s check out if there were any freebie perfume samples to be had (they spray it on really liberally when you visit any store that sells perfume, so why not samples). Apparently you can get a free Escada sample here for the price of a few personal details, but only if you live in the US, Spain, Germany or France. Here also, you get free samples if you fill in some details and answer some questions.
Be warned though, my skepticism is still rife, so I will trust all these freebie claims when I smell the perfume, so to speak! If you have had good or bad experiences with freebies, do let me know.
