I think this is quickly becoming one of my favorite days, because I love hearing all your great ideas! You know the drill, I post a question, and you let me know your thoughts.

We all know that companies use high value coupons, sales, and free after rebate items to get us to try their products hoping that we will like them and purchase them in the future. But if you’re like me by the time you run out of that product there i another new “free” item to take it’s place.

Here’s today’s question:
What Free item have you gotten that you might actually pay for in the future?

Also:

What items do you wish you could get for free?

I love the Glade Scented Oil Candles. I got a ton of these at Target before Christmas and the Apple Cinnamon is my favorite! I did actually pay $0.50 a box for the refills at Walgreens a month or so ago because I was out. :) However, now that we are on to the new Fragrance Collection Candles, I probably won’t actually be paying for these again :)

I actually HAVE bought items that I had received free, and I do think that this is a good way of finding out whether or not you will like a new product, by trying the samples. I had received a really nice box of Olay products some time back, and after using them, I really liked them and have purchased a couple of the same items since then, but with coupons, of course!…well, no…actually the one I didn’t have a coupon for, but I wanted it enough to pay the full price.

I also have a question for all of you who are serious couponers. How do you do the thing at the cash with all your coupons, and with people behind you getting upset. I find I keep letting others go ahead of me, and it’s to the point of me being overly ridiculous about it. Can someone tell me how they feel about this please.

Thanks,
Jovin

There have been so many great deals lately It is hard to say but My hubby is stocked on Rightguard deodorant for a few months, Got several free toothbrushes which I really hate to pay for. Free tooth paste and the Stayfree B1G1 coupon backed by the $1 coupon allowed me a stock up. Like anyone else I want free toilet paper; I feel like I am flushing away dollars.I also wish stores with cards like Kroger would take what you spend and give a discount twice a yr on a ham or turkey.

I agree about getting toilet paper for free. I also love the Glade candles and have bought enough to submit the SC Johnson $5 rebate 3 times. I know I will buy more of these!

I wish I could get toilet paper for free. There are coupons here and there, but not any that make a big difference on the overall price of the paper.

My husabnd is a huge fan of the Sambucol I got at Walgreens a couple weeks ago. Let’s hope I can get good deals in the future because he will eventually want more!

I got a box of the Oreo Cakesters 100-calorie pack a couple of months ago via the First Taste program by Kraft and they are SO good. I actually did buy another box…um, I dont’ think it means 100 calories per box, right? They are seriously addictive. I’ll also be forever in love with the Glade Lasting Impressions. I’ll buy those when I run out…if it ever happens!

My husband drinks diet dr. pepper like you wouldn’t believe so I of course keep buying that and the free coupons every once in a while are nice! I like the All-Bran tea flavored drink. I tried those with a coupon and I love it so I keep buying it. I wish I could get toilet paper for free! and free diet coke!!!

I’m enjoying the Johnson Buddies soaps… I have at least a years supply – but for the price ($.97) I will probably buy these in the future — assuming I don’t get more coupons for another year’s supply! ;0
