Has to be last years Renault World Series motor racing tickets. Family of four free weekend that would be well over £120 at somewhere like rip off Silverstone. Even better, they are doing the same this year. I think we are the only country on the European circuit that does this televised event for free. Plus there are more freebies and competitions at the event too.

I really enjoyed our free pontins holiday, even though the entertainment was a bit tacky. But the beach was great and we had luck with the wheather... Was apparently worth £190.

I don't know what my best freebie would be.
I love my Comfort pashmina; my step kids went on the free Pontins holiday with their Nan (so it was a holiday for me too lol); we had a fab day out at Goodwood the other week too.
Also I have sent off for £20 worth of John Lewis vouchers from Pigsback without spending a penny:D

Here is the link!

However, you need a website to advertise the link on a website in order to receive free CD's or DVDs, I used a freewebs website I created a seperate one for the link, I didn't want to spoil the look of my main freewebs account, its for photos and videos only! Unfortunately I tried to apply again and they said that they stopped accepting these type webs, perhaps your website (if you have one) works?
I'm gonna have another crack at this by using Geocities through my Yahoo account. The ready made sites are rubbish, but perhaps Diskdepot may like it!

I have about twenty free sim cards at the moment, I was going to do a bulk sell on ebay but this sounds better! Do you just list in the small ads, one at a time? Do they always sell?

Difficult one as I have had lots BUT I would think it is the FREE advice I receive on here. If I have a question there is usually someone on here who can help and offer sound advice.
Other freebies I have had: my 3 free kittens - gorgeous, entertaining and great company.
My free carbon monoxide detector - it could save my life, the boots time delay offer I am now wrinkle free and youthful looking
oh there are lots -Welshy x

It's closed now. I think it was ITV who had 1000 to give away

It was a charity giving them away, but they were mentioned by This Morning. Were given away by a dad who's daughter had been killed by carbon monoxide :(
Magicbox touch twin phones
Glad "telecoms aren't excluded" 'cause yesterday I sold the one I picked up last week. £50 through my local paper free ad's, much easier than ebay. Thank you Tesco.
My best freebie yet but I'm still trying!
My best freebie was probably the carbon Monoxide tester.
The other "best freebie" would be goodwood tickets, my OH and dad had a fantastic free day out!

What does 'PPRed' mean? It sounds scarey!
My best freebie was a TMF on a Wilkinson Sword razor about 18 months ago - returned the razor and receipt, and when the cheque came back someone had put the decimal point in the wrong place, so instead of being for £5.75 it printed as £57.50. Needless to say it went straight into the bank; they never tried to stop the cheque and so it ended up being spent.

You get your posting privilleges removed, if you leave links in signatures or say something racist or very rude or offensive! :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:( Its abbreviated to PPR, and some Moneysavers may just have the word under their name! :(

definately my quattro razor - I use it all the time!! And Ive been to loads and loads of free cinema screenings which obviously have saved me the most money. Me and my boyfriend also both managed to get ourselves a free theme park ticket - just have to decide when to go really!!

I once wrote to Vimto to say my uncle knows the boss of vimto! They wrote back saying he knows a lot of people would you like some freebies!
I got a free hat, bag, socks, stickers and vouchers! All the latest prize and promotion items that they had used in the previous years!
Brilliant!
