Freebies Really?

I have not addicted but very attracted to Internet freebies. Freebies or Free Product Samples are offered by companies in hope that after testing the sample you will purchase more of the product. This is clearly exploitable and there are entire threads dedicated to them where people just spend the day (or most of it) swarming the internet for free stuff then posting it for others to avail of. I have two favourite threads (the only two I know of really) They are

Bargain Alerts @ Boards.ie (Sticky at the Top of Forum) - Here
Freebies Thread @ Money Saving Expert (British website) - Here

I wouldn't recommend signing up for everyone as there is a 35% success rate. So hold back until others have had success.

I have actually gone off these freebies as I realise the time I waste on them and the free stuff is mainly binned. At least I put it in the recycling bin.
