You will enjoy several advantages when you become a good freebie-hunter. It will not only help with your everyday budget, but also can allow you to enjoy early access to certain products before they actually hit the shelves.
Everyone loves a good freebie and, fortunately, there are numerous websites online that are glad to offer them. While most sites list many similar products, it is always advisable to visit the best ones to avoid wasting your precious time trawling through rubbish.
You’ll come across so-called Freebie websites that offer fake ‘freebies’ such as ‘free’ minutes if you sign up for a new mobile phone contract. Who wants that? So, to help you avoid trawling bogus freebie websites, here are four of the best we have come across:
Just Free Stuff
It is a friendly and easy-to-use platform that has more than 600 free stuff UK samples. Every day, the websites adds 5 or 6 new freebies, which means that you’ll always find something new there.
The vast majority of freebies on the platform are samples, which means you can get an entire range of products that include toys, shampoo, environmentally-friendly products, and even chocolate. The toiletry samples, however, are the best since they usually come in handy when travelling or staying over somewhere.
The website even offers useful tips and hints on how to take advantage of freebie offers (such as creating a secondary email address) and you can even sign up to the app that lets you see the most current freebies, even when on the move.
Freecycle
It is one of the best freebie sites even though it does not work in the same way as standard freebie sites. It actually offers freebie in the form of items that others are disposing of. The vast majority of items offered are second-hand, but every once in a while, you can be offered something completely free.
Furthermore, unlike many other freebie websites, every day there’s a possibility to get something quite substantial such as a baby cot, washing machine, a sofa, or a TV as opposed to just a small sample. The original purpose for the creation of Freecycle was helping to keep items out of landfills and cutting down waste. The website currently has more than 5 million members across over 85 countries.
Signing-up and using Freecycle is free, and with such a massive membership you may actually end up using it to furnish your entire house. It is a great resource to know about especially if you are a student that wants to move into his/her first house.
Gumtree
The freebies section on Gumtree works a lot like Freecycle, with members of the public uploading pictures and descriptions of items that they want to dispose of.
Obviously, as you may expect, there’s a fair amount of rubbish that you will need to wade through, but still there are often decent items that you can get for yourself. A dishwasher, a vintage typewriter, and a free trampoline are some of the items that have been spotted there in just one day.
You have the option of making your location as specific as you prefer, but if you are too inflexible with travelling to pick up the item could mean missing out on some of the better ones.
Items usually sell quickly, so you will need to keep browsing the website regularly. If there’s an item that you specifically need, you can actually put out an advert yourself explaining what you want. You never know, somebody might get in touch.
Freebiers Club UK
Freebiers Club UK is another great source of freebies. A useful feature is being able to click straight through to the websites offering the freebie so that you won’t have to sign-up to the website to take advantage of the offers.
Freebiers Club UK is a no-frills freebie website, but it is easy to browse through the offers to find out whether there’s something suitable for you.
