Sign up for the freebies. I have more deodorant than I could use in a year, 3 new shavers and tons of shampoo samples. I live by the freebies and I also give them out in little gift baskets when I need a quick present. I have made some wonderful baskets using homemade cards and shreaded coloured paper in a basket bought at a thrift store for .50. Fill it with freebies for that person. Include coupons also!
When traveling overnite I can grab a quick sample of shampoo and conditioner even face moisturizer for the next day. I don't have to pack an entire supply of bottles.
