Whether it's free flights, gym passes, cash, pants, face cream, games or books, it's all available for free on the internet if you know where to look. Some of it is ‘grab it while you can’ but there’s a lot of permanently accessible free stuff too. This is a full freebie guide, listing all permanently available freebies.
Why do freebies exist?
To qualify as a freebie, something must not only be free to get, but it must also be sent without postage or packaging costs. While it still may be a bargain without, it doesn’t count as a freebie.
Where do freebies come from?This list and the top freebies in the weekly e-mail is a product of thousands of MoneySaving freebie hunters scouring the UK’s websites to find the best free stuff. They then post them on the Freebies Board of the Discussion Forum. For many the fun is both getting the freebie and the hobby of the hunt.
Why do companies give this stuff away?
Well, while it'd be nice to think that they're just being nice, the fact is that this is all about promotion. Most freebies are samples of products, given away in the hope that you might go and buy the full-size version, or just to advertise the brand. One of the most popular freebies ever posted on the site was a razor, worth £4 if you bought it in a shop. Yet the company were more than happy to give hundreds of thousands of them away for free since after a little while they were bound to need new blades, which cost twice as much.
Should I always grab them?
It's tempting, but you really should first ask yourself 'will I use it?'. If not, there's no point signing up; not only would you be keeping the freebie from somebody else (who may really want it), it's bad for the environment to wastefully cart around parcels.
How to get short-lived freebies
Many of the best freebies are shortlived, usually because they are limited to a certain number. This happens as companies like to create a buzz about a product in a short space of time. Giving away high value freebies (past £7 razors and £15 moisturisers come to mind) is a great way to do this.
When people spot freebies they put them on the forum Freebies Board, and then each week in the Money Tips e-mail the five top freebies are listed. To make sure you don't miss out on these sign up to the weekly Money Tips e-mail.
The Big Freebies: Free Cash, Free Stuff
This article and the Directory below are all about ‘click and get’ freebies, yet if you’re prepared to work a bit there are other ways to get free stuff and the rewards can be much bigger. There are many articles across the site on such loopholes, they include:
Free money, flights and gifts using Credit Card loopholes.
- Free flights, CDs and vouchers. Lots of credit cards try to bribe you to sign up for them with serious freebies; yet to get these all you need do is 'spend on the card'. So apply for the card, and just buy a pack of sweets or an apple, and you'll be sent the free gift, then pay off your 'sweetie debt' and cancel the card. More details and all current top deals in the Credit Card Freebies article.
- Get paid £100s a year to spend. Choose the right credit card and you will be paid to spend. The current top player'll get you 4% back on all spending for 3 months. So use it for all spending, and pay it off in full by direct debit each month and you can earn £100s a year just for using a bit of plastic. Find the top cards in the Best Cashback Credit Cards article.
- Make £1000s by playing the credit card system. If you're financially savvy, you can earn big money and get your own back on the credit card companies by grabbing their 0% introductory offers, and then stashing the cash in high-interest savings accounts. Some MoneySavers amass £1000s using the methods explained in the Stoozing: Make Free Cash From Credit Cards article.
Computers & Phones
Protect your PC for free. Protecting your PC from nasty viruses and hackers can be costly, but it needn't be. There's a raft of free and shareware programs that do the same job for nowt! We've compiled the best in the Free Anti-Virus & Firewall Software article.
Free Office Software. Do you really need an expensive, branded office suite? OpenOffice is a completely free, easy-to-use version, and it'll open and edit most Microsoft documents too. Find it, and more, in the Free Office Software article.
Free Texts From The Web & Almost Free From Mobiles. It's been possible to get free texts from the web for a while, but a nifty new program means you can now use the web to get texts from your mobile for a fraction of a penny, with no advertising. Read the Free Texts article for full info, including links to the best providers.
Cashback Sites: Make Money From The Web. Cashback sites give you a proportion of the revenue they receive from advertisers when you click through them. Yet sometimes you don't even need to spend to get the cashback. The Cashback Websites guide takes you through how to make the cash.
-
Survey Sites: Make Money For Giving Your Opinion. It's possible to earn £100s a year, without any special skill or talent. It’s all about stashing cash from filling in online surveys or taking part in focus groups. For a detailed guide, including the best survey sites to try, see the Survey Sites guide.
Free International Calls Via The Web. Clever Voip technology means you can call anywhere in the world for nothing. Plus, now you can do so using your regular landline phone. Read Free International Calls Via The Web for the full lowdown.
Moving home? Do your research for free. There are so many websites devoted to researching property it can be tough to choose between them. I've collated all the best ones in the Free House Price Info article, to help ease the strain of moving.
Get a mate in free at any cinema. On Wednesdays, Orange subscribers can get a 2for1 entry code just by making a call or sending a text to 241. Yet by using the link in the Orange 2for1 Cinema Loophole article you can get an Orange SIM card for free, meaning everybody else can join in too.
Gym Trials
-
Grab a free trial or day pass. Most gyms offer free day-long trials, and sometimes web vouchers mean you can get a bit longer before paying. And if that doesn't work, there's a way to get friends to help. There's a whole section on free gym passes in the Gym Memberships article.
The Freebies Directory
Below is the full directory of freebies. The links will usually take you to the MoneySavingExpert.com Forum where the original freebie discovery originated and an explanation of what do to is included. Be aware though, the posts are written by MoneySavingExpert.com site users, not the site itself and don't reflect the views of the site.
