Mrs. Mecomber's Scrapbook Talking technology, computers, and the Internet… for the average computer user

Gotta love the Internet. What a GREAT place, haha!

Yes, I just did some online shopping and saved a ton of money with coupon codes. AND I found a couple of great websites where you can get free samples and freebies delivered to your door. I hit the jackpot!

I have been looking for free samples of make up. Do you have any idea the befuddling array of choices for makeup?? Do we really need 1,398 choices for mascara and 5,187 choices for foundation?? It’s insane. I wandered around my local retail store for about 25 minutes, trying to make heads and tails of all the stuff there. Problem is, you can’t sample anything. You have to BUY it ($20 or so) and *hope* that the stuff matches your skin and doesn’t give a rash. I have very sensitive skin and eyes, and the makeup makes my eyes burn after a while.

Anyway, the best method is to sign up for free samples, and test out the stuff before you blow your money. The websites are loaded with all sorts of goodies. All free, too. Find books, money, cars, clothes, food, health, music, movies, perfume, pet food, travel… lots of stuff. Check it out. Remember to use a basic webmail email address when signing up for free stuff, too. This keeps your personal email separate from your “freebie” email, and makes everything easier to manage.
