Do you ever feel guilty?

Do you ever feel guilty sending for free stuff just to get the points on quidco or ipoints or any of those many sites? I had an attack of guilt when I received my Kitty Care pack and I don't even have a cat. It's like a lovely little photo album. But the points add up to cash that I need.:o

I was wondering how other people felt.

I usually only send for stuff that I want or need, but if I felt guilty about somehting I'd just pass it on to a friend or neighbour so that at least it wasn't wasted

Why feel guilty???at the end of the day no item is "free" someone {us!!} will be paying for the "gift" with the prices we pay in the shops. Remember we get nothing for nothing
Enjoy the items you get,make use of the money you need and as most of us must know these companies only expect to get about a 1% return on any offers they give. If that keeps them happy,I for one will not loose any sleep over ANY item that I can get

If you feel guilty give it to a friend with a kitten or donate it to your local animal shelter. You get the points, some one gets a freebie, No Guilt

i always apply for free pet food samples and pass them on to our local animal shelter, you could do the same.

I only apply for stuff that I know I'll like, not just for anything that's free. I applied for the kitten pack when my friend bought two kittens, she applied too so she had a pack for each kitten!
I like the idea of sending for them then giving the freebie to charity.

I had thought of giving it away to someone at work, but I like the idea of giving it to an animal shelter.

Hello, personaly i only send off for things i know i will use/want/could be useful to a friend or family member etc. I don't think it's right claiming freebies just for points on a site...but that's just me.

Also usually when loads of people send off for the freebies-some sites get all in a panick and stop doing samples for the genuine customers (ie beauty things etc). Some can't cope in the end.

But anyway, that's just how i feel about freebies and samples.

i never feel guilty! Think how many millions these companies make each year for one thing, expecially if its somewhere big like tescos

like others above, I only apply for things I want. Do I feel guilty when I receiv them for free? No Way!!

I only apply for things I genuinely want. There's no such thing as a freebie...most companies use them as a form of advertising, which clearly works if people like the products. Everyone wins (asuming you genuinely are interested in the product) So I don't feel guilty....great idea, I say.

The only people who should feel guilty are a small faction of liars who write complaint letters when nothing has actually gone wrong. Items/vouchers sent out from genuine complaint letters are not freebies!! They are compensation for something that has gone wrong. So if nothing has gone wrong, then its fraud, deception and theft - that minority should feel VERY guilty
