I am not recieving many of these awesome deals. Even from established companies like Gerber and Pampers. With my other babies, we were inundated with coupons and freebies. I can't seem to get any this time. Any advice?

Have you signed up for all the freebies posted here on this site? There are so many of them. How long ago did you sign up? It does take awhile to get them. The sites usually say 4-6 weeks. So keep signing up for everything you can. Eventually you shouldn't be able to go a week without getting something in the mail.

I have been signing up for freebies from Mommy Savers before I joined. At first I got maybe one every two weeks, now I get something almost every other day! There are some that I have signed up for and don't think they will ever come

Keep in mind that despite our members' best efforts to screen out the bad ones, they still do exist. The mods try to catch them, too, but all of our eagle eyes still end up missing some. Other times they simply are out of them, or the link is old.

For success, I'd suggest you do the Walmart ones. Those are quite reliable. And yes, definitely do your reliable companies, although some of these run out of stock or are not real. I think I get about 1 or 2 a week. I never rely on ANY freebie. After all, it's a freebie. I just like being pleasantly surprised. And I definitely don't go for each one. I don't need more clutter.

The posters of the freebies are usually members like the rest of us, and everyone does their best to make sure they are clean and real. The chocolate ones, many coffee ones and the lingerie ones usually are fake.

The other thing you can do, is post in the thread of one you were looking forward to and see if anyone received theirs. Like the Whirlpool/Opi nail polish one that was floating around. I never received it, and if anyone did, I'm sure it was a small pool of people. I've noticed many freebies make their rounds to freebie sites, so the companies, especially the small ones, get inundated and turn off the tap.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Make someone's heart smile today.

sometimes it takes longer for them to send your sample. there could have been some kind of delay at the company or whatever. i've given up on receiving samples, and a couple weeks later, it finally comes! and not to disappoint you, but some never come. it's a little bit of luck to see if it makes it from the factory, through the postal service and finally into your mail box.

Oh gosh rereading my post. I didn't mean to say sign up for everything you can, even if you wouldn't use it. I just meant sign up for everything you can see that you would use.
