Freebies? Are they a good idea?

Question

Are getting freebies off the internet a good idea?

Answer 1

Only if they're actually free, most are not.

Answer 2

No, you usually have to sign up, and they will keep and sell on your personal details so that you eventually get more spam.

There ain't  no such thing as a 'free lunch'.  Think, when did you last get a viable free sample from your local shopping mall, be cautious.

Answer 3

have a look here

Answer 7

depends on the kind of freebies you are after

in the past 2 days i have requested 2 posters from different places for my 3 and 5 year old and they have arrived without costing me a penny.

I have just applied for 2 re-usable shopping bags..once again totally free.

I also often apply for free samples of things too

Answer 13

you have to be cautious; some add your name to junk mail lists <email and snail mail>  some have hidden costs, requirements...

there are some that are legit 'freebies' out there from companies that want to promote their products...

you just have to look into whichever one<s> you are considering

good luck
