Where have all the freebies gone?

Whats happening to the freebies?

There used to be a wide range and large variety of freebies available here, are they drying up because of abuse?

Not a rant (for a change!) just disappointing that freebies dont seem to be as much fun as they used to be.

Ah well................
:o Keep trying.........................what else is there to do? :o

    something to do with the economy?

    Businesses get hit as much as the consumer.

    When I read the title of this, I instantly thought:

    Where have all the freebies gone, and where are all the gods!?

    I am on another forum where they have freebies plus other things too. Get some freebies from them which are international, not just UK and they do arrive. Worth checking them out.

    Forgot to say that this other site is having something happening on the 7th this month. Not sure what yet but they are posting all about the 7th June. Probably means presents for members as they seem to do that a bit.

    I guess with the current economic climate, it's not an ideal time to launch new products, therefore there are fewer companies offering samples?

    It might also down to abuse of online freebies though, because I do still get handed freebies when I'm out and about. Rarely a week goes by when I don't get some kind of freebie handed to me wandering around London.
