    . I'm thinking of doing a freebie diary for 2014 and logging what I get (sad I'm sure some will think but I will be interested to see what I get over a year)

    I must be sad lol,I already log all my freebie/ coupons and prize every year, so I can see if its still worth collecting freebies and cutting coupons.

    :rotfl:
    **Thank to all MSE who save me money with vouchers/ freebies & competitions ***

    i would agree that joining the testing panels is possibly the way to get the highest value freebies
    I have been monitoring the free stuff I get for about four years and split them into the areas of free products,trials,vouchers and free film screenings....last year was my best to date with a combined total of around £2100...
    The items that really boosted the "earnings" last year was the pamper party pack from philips which was worth around £600 back in july ...
    I also make use of the try me free products which last year represented a value of just short of £100
    Sometimes the freebies are things I wouldnt normally use and after tring them wouldnt use them again...but every now and again a gem is discovered....this happened with a boots prefect and protect primer...I was sent one to trial,but now im hooked they cost me £19.99 a pop!
    My biggest saving has been on toiletries and beauty products thanks to the testing websites of boots alba science and beauty bible.
    frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

    2017 toiletries challenge 179 out 145 in ...£18.64 spend

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Best one came right at the very end of the year ... free 1.5kg bags of James Wellbeloved cat food, in return for filling in a simple fast form. Worth around £12 each. My mum, brother and dad each got one on my behalf with their email addresses too.

    V happy cats at the moment! :T
