  • I do the same thing. The local shelter really appreciates it. :D

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

    I generally only get stuff I want/need but if its got MOCs in then Ill get it, as for the kitten pack I was very shocked and did feel slightly guilty that Id got all that free, but I sold it at a car boot, only for bout 50p with the cat food. As others have said its swings and roundabouts really cos we do pay in other ways for the free stuff.
  • If only for environmental / waste / production reasons it's kind of dodgy to be sending off for things you don't want or need.

    Could you pass the things you already have received to friends or charity shops?

    He's right though, this is for posting freebies, there are discussion forums. He could have been a lot politer about it though.

    Personally I appreciate it starting on this board as I wouldn't have seen it otherwise. Thanks Op
