Corporations and Small Businesses give away a ton of items as products and services samples in the hopes of making you a prospective customer.

Spend some time reading the comments where they are provided on many of the freebie sites listed and you will be richly rewarded. Most of all, have fun and enjoy yourself, each time the mailman brings new discoveries each week!
