Q. I'd like to turn this question into a forum of sorts, where people could respond with their own personal stories or experiences getting things for free.
I just got heavily into the free sample lifestlye and I want to take this shiite to the next level.
Have people had any luck simply writing to companies asking to try their products free of charge?

A. If a person is in need of a furniture, sometimes people that just bought new furniture will leave their old furniture near the road for the trash pick-up to pick-up. So you can walk around and see if anybody is throwing any furniture away and if you see something that you may need, go get your truck and pick it up and take it home.
One time, we sat out a microwave that was fried. We were cooking something and the microwave started sparking like too much electricity was going through it. You know when you have a 10V device and you try to run 20V into it. What happens? You are right, too much electricity goes through it and burns it up. We sat that out near the trash, along with a 19 inch computer monitor that did not work, and someone came by and picked them up. I'm glad that person could use those things. I don't know what that person will use them for. Maybe he knew somebody that recycled electronics and would give him like $5 for all that stuff.
You could also look in garbage cans, and garbage dumpsters. Sometimes people throw good stuff away. I once knew a person that found a baby doll missing one eye. I'm sure that could be easily fixed.
If you are a smoker, instead of buying your own cigarettes, you could try bumming. How bumming a cigarette works is, you go up to someone smoking and say, (look really desperate and tired) could I bum a cigarette off you? Act like you are using your last bit of oxygen talking to the person. If you don't like to bum, then you could look in ashtrays for cigarettes. Most people won't finish a cigarette. They take a some puffs and put it out, leaving a pretty good length to smoke.
My ideas of getting stuff for free.

Gillette sent me a brand new razor about 6 years ago. I still use it to this day. So you might try writing to Gillette and asking them if they would send you a free razor. Make the letter sound like you really want to support them.
Trojan gives away free condoms to young people to show that they care about preventing youth pregnancies. So you might want to write them and ask them for some condoms.
If you drink a lot of sodas, say Pepsi, save up your receipts and send a letter along with the receipts asking if they would send you some coupons or give you a free case of soda since you support them so heavily.
I think baseball stadiums gives tickets away. These tickets won't give you good seats. You might need binoculars to enjoy the game. I don't think the free seats will provide view of the big screen because you will be way up in the air right underneath the roof, so that roof might block your view a little bit. Oh, and I don't think the food vendor person is going to walk all the way up there just to give you a hotdog and drink. They serve only people closest to the field.

Do you have any diapers, Enfamil Lipil, baby boy clothing, a sterilizer, or unwanted baby items? Mom-in-need?
Q. Do you have any diapers, Enfamil Lipil formula or checks, baby boy clothing, a monitor, sterilizer, swing, coupons, or other baby boy items that you no longer need?
I had an ovarian tumor and three surgeries and have had lots of medical problems within the last year which has caused severe financial difficulties. We do not qualify for WIC, I have to formula-feed for medical reasons, and I don't have family to help me.
Money is extremely tight right now, I am giving birth to a baby boy in 9 weeks, and we can use all the help we can get. We don't have anything for our baby. Once we get back on our feet, I could send you any coupons or kids items that I come across if you want. Please let me know at mrssoldier33@yahoo.com.
Thank you with all of my heart. <3
P.S. I have joined freecycle.org and but haven't received any responses yet. I also tried craigslist.org but there are not any free items in my area (just lots of wanted).
Autumnishere, I had the tumor before we got married and therefore was not covered under my husband's insurance. Most insurance companies would not cover me and the one that did charged me $1000 a month. You've made me feel even lower by having to ask for help. Despite your true ignorance, I still hope that someday you never have to experience this. Good luck to you.
If there are any moms or dads out there that are in a position were they can sincerely help, I would appreciate it more than you know. Once we get back on our feet, we can send you any coupons or kids items we come across if you need them.

A. Autumn is here- why would you possibly give such a nasty reply???
Are you even a mother? Most mother's have more compassion than you clearly do.
Mrs. Soldier,
I've sent you a list of the few things I've got which a boy could use.
Best of luck.

What diapers do you recommend?
Q. Hey everyone,
I'm 22wks3d today and decided to start on a baby registry - mostly just to have and to recieve the free coupons it comes with, and if anyone wants to look at it then we'd have it. Anyway, I don't know what kind of diapers to put on there or if it really matters? Any advice?
And what about bottles? I was looking at the drop-ins but of course there is so many different brands. What do you prefer? And what other things should I add to the registry?
TIA!

A. Parents choice is walmart brand and they are horrible. Don't register those or ur babys butt will always be wet. I love Huggies because my son use to have poop explosions that went all the way up his back and they have a patented trapper in the back of the diaper that helps with this. My sister and brother use pampers brand though and they love them( good absorbency). Dr. Brown bottles are the best. They may be a bit more expensive then the rest but they are great for colic or gassy babies and they help reduce spit ups. Necessary items are wipes( Huggies are good), baby wash( I use aveeno because newborns have sensitive skin), desitin, baby bather, diaper pail( I love my arm and hammer one), diaper pail refills, monitor(if ur baby will have their own room), nursing pads( even if u don't choose to breastfeed u will leak as ur milk dries up), breastpump, diaper bag, bottle warmers for outings, storage for ur babies necessities, and that's all I can think of rightnow.
coupon code for babies r us?
Q. I am looking for a coupon code for babies r us. Free shipping or percentage off. I searched online & couldn't find anything. I'm buying a baby movement monitor so it can't be for a specific item. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
A. Have you tried the same item through Amazon.com? They ship free on orders over $25, and babiesrus does sell through amazon also so you may be able to find it with free shipping that way.
