I’m so grateful for all the Moms and Mammas out there! Ever since becoming a Mom 10 months ago today, it’s amazing how much more love has come into my life! I have a much greater appreciation for my wonderful mom and a much deeper love for my husband! Thanks for following my blog and ready my cheesy posts!

I know it’s super frustrating when you miss out on time-sensitive hot freebies and dealios! So I’ve created this super easy way you can get at text message immediately for all of the hottest offers that are on My Free Product samples! I’m thinking there will be between 1-5 offer each day. * Note that standard text messaging rates will apply, but the text message alerts are 100% completely FREE!

GET HOT TEXT ALERTS FROM MY FREE PRODUCT SAMPLES

1. Simply text “follow MFPSHot” to 40404
2. You’ll receive an auto reply text saying “You’re now following @MFPSHot. Their tweets will be sent to you. Send OFF@MFPSHot to stop!” You are now signed up!
3. To stop getting texts from us, simply text “OFF@MFPSHot” to 40404!

Easy peesy! :) If you’re not a texter, but still want to see only the hottest deals, there’s another way to sign up!

1. Simply log in or register for a Twitter account.
2. Then click the “Follow” button on our MFPSHot Alerts page!
3. Click the icon located to the left of the “Follow” button, then click “Turn on Mobile Notifications.”
4. From there, follow the easy guide to sign up!!

Ok gang, I just have to apologize because I’ve been on the site so little the last couple of weeks! My hubby’s work moved about 4 hours south of where we lived, so we had no choice but to sell our dream home and head down to southern Utah! So life was pretty crazy for a little bit there!  We packed it all in Wednesday night then drove on Thursday and unpacked it all Thursday night. We couldn’t have done it without our AMAZING family (which i pretty much cry every time I think about how much I’m going to miss them all)!

So I’m hoping to get some more prime time freebie time back in between unpacking boxes and chasing little Dax ALL OVER THE PLACE! Lol  Man I love that kid! My Friday freebie videos are going to be weak because my mail is going to who knows where and I haven’t been on the computer much. So bear with me…

P.S. I MISSED ALL OF YOU!!!!! ;)

Ok so I just had to share this video of the April Fools joke my brother played on me! My face is honestly priceless!! I was literally thinking I was going to have to run him to the hospital like asap!  Have you guys done any funny or awesome tricks for April Fools today?! I’d love to hear about them!

 

coupons.com logo1 Searching By Zip Codes on Coupons.com

Hey gang! If you’re like me, I was a little lost when Coupons.com switched over to a different look! It took me forever to figure out I could search for coupons under different zip codes! So I wanted to share these easy steps with everyone so printing coupons is simple and easy again! icon smile Searching By Zip Codes on Coupons.com

Searching with different zip codes on coupons.com will give you different coupons depending on the area! Sometimes a coupon won’t be available in one zip code but it will be in another one! That’s why I try to include the zip code where you can find the coupon under when I post it!

HERE’S HOW TO FIND COUPONS BY ZIP CODES

1. Go to Coupons.com here.
2.  Click on the “Local Coupon” tab in the top bar.
3. Enter the zip code you’d like in the top left hand green bar.
4. Now click back on “Coupons” in the tab in the top bar.
5. This will now show you the coupons available for that zip code! Yay!

What type of samples have you received and loved so much you went out to buy them after??  I was just trying to think of all the many many ones I have!  Here’s the ones I could think of in a quick 5 minutes…

Tide pods, Unstoppables, Quaker oat squares, Pretty much all of my BzzAgent campaigns, Suave Dry Shampoo, John Frieda shampoos & conditioners, Nivea lip balm, Atkins bars, Papa Johns, Ruffies bags, tampax radiant liners, Beech nut products, diapers, Gummie vitamins, Ghiradelli chocolate… seriously I could go on and on AND ON!! My point you ask? In addition to free samples being AWESOME, it really works for hundreds of companies!! :)

I LOVE MY FREEBIES!!!!!

Wow! This is SUPER cool if you’ve already got Amazon Prime or if you’re wanting to get it! You could find 4 friends to do it with then all split the cost to get free 2 day shipping on Amazon! If you have never had an Amazon Prime account, it is free to try for the first 30 days. Mom’s or ANY other child caregiver (Grandparents, Teachers, Aunts & Uncles etc), get a 3 month free trial here. And, students can cash in on 6 free months here. After the trial period, it’s $79 per year.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS…

1. Log into your Account and look for the “Hello…, Your account” tab on the top right and click on “Your Account”.
2. Scroll down and look on the left for the Setting section.
3. Click on “Manage Prime Membership”.

amazon 21 300x98 Share you Amazon Prime account with up to 4 people!!

4. Look for the section which allows you to change your payment options, cancel you membership and add up to 4 members to your account!
5. You will need to provide a the name, email address, relationship and birthday for each new member. When they activate the Prime benefits, they will also need to know your birthday.

By sharing your Amazon Prime account, will only allow for the FREE two-day shipping to relatives and not the Prime video or Kindle book benefits. You can remove them anytime you choose from the Prime account manager. (Thanks Coupons 4 Utah & Discount Queens!)

 

(P.S. I had NO make up on for this picture so pay closer attention to the freebies instead of me! Lol)

This is the image my hubby came home to last night! Me and the Little German Man just sorting and storing all my freebie goodness!  LOL He thinks I’m crazy sometimes but he loves me anyway!

Some of you have asked what I do with all my freebies… here’s what I do! (For the record and all you new freebie fans, EVERYTHING pictured was delivered to my mailbox for FREE! NO coupons used here!

1. I keep the haul from one week in a pile to put in my freebie video each week.
2. After the freebie video, I sort them into piles of “KEEPS” and “GIVEAWAY”
3. The “KEEPS” get put into big re-usable bags (which were freebies as well)!
4. The “GIVEAWAYS” get put into a big box which I take to family and friend functions where I ask if anyone would like them!
5. After a few months or when my 3 big bags are full, I sort them out into different categories. (As pictured above)
6. Then I put them all away!  It takes a few hours sometimes because there’s so MANY! LOL

I like doing it this way because I’m able to make sure I find a place for all the “random, but useful” freebies that we get! And they all get put away in a place where they’ll get used!

HOW ABOUT YOU FREEBIE GANG? HOW DO YOU HANDLE YOUR FREEBIE STASH?!! :)

Ok so I just realized I’ve never done a post about EBATES! It really is such a quick and EASY way to earn up cash back on most all your online purchases! You create an account (super easy), then go through them to shop at any of the 1,200 stores they have! PLUS if you’re new to EBATES and making your first purchase of $25 or more, you’ll get a free $10 gift card to select stores!  I chose a $10 Target gift card for mine!

With the holiday shopping coming up, they’ll be tons of deals online! So you would honestly be SILLY not to purchase through Ebates when buying online!!

HOW IT WORKS!

1. Create an account here.
2. Then click on “Shop All Stores” in the top left corner.
3. Find the store you want to purchase at.
4. Next to the store name, will be the cash back amount you’ll get!
5. Just click “Shop Now.” It will take you to the store website.
6. Continue checking out like normal!

And that’s it!  Ebates will also show you any coupon codes or deals your store might be offering as well! Super sweet website!

(Note: The link in this post is my paid referral link.)

I just learned that Facebook added a “Get Notifications” button. I’ve heard if you check that, you’ll be able to see more of my deals in your Facebook feed! (Yay!)  I went to my own feed on My Free Product Samples and it wasn’t even checked! So make sure it’s checked for you!!

HERE’S HOW:

1. Go to My Free Product Samples Facebook page.
2. Scroll over the “Liked” button.
3. Click on “Get Notifications.”
4. This will mark it checked. Fingers crossed this will work!! ;)
