I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread for any freebies / offers that you may know of.
Here are a couple that I have found:
Jordans Muesli (http://www.jordanscereals.co.uk/talk-to-us/free-samples) - Free Sample (UK only)
Ghost Perfume (http://sampling.pgprestige.com/html/ghost/sweetheart/) - Free Sample (UK only)
In the current financial climate - I think we might be able to find and share a lot more of these type of offers! All countries welcomed!

Oh, nice thread! Even though I can't add to it :( I suck at finding freebies for some odd reason O_o
TF, ya know the ghost fragrance link.. when you hit submit, does it stay on the same page? O_O It 'loads', but doesn't really take you to another page or anything. Tried it in two browsers. It'll be funny if it does work on their end that they've received like.. 6 sample requests from me. lol. :embarrassed: Too bad I won't get 6 though, lmao. XD

Free sweeties! (http://www.jellybelly-uk.com/cgi-bin/jb/survey.pl)
You are all MORE THAN welcome. :) UK only, I would imagine. Best ruddy jelly beans that I know of. It says that you need to do a survey too, but it'll probably just be "what is your favourite flavour" and that.

Ooooh, Jordans! I usually go with another brand, but I tried Jordans once, and I liked it :D *waits for free sample*
The Ghost Fragrance one, after I submitted it said: "Thank you for submitting your application. Your free sample will be with you shortly". Or something like that. w00p. I haven't even bothered reading what it's supposed to smell like, but considering it's free, who cares! :razz:
TF I'll thank you when they come through the post ;)

Oh Wow Bumpinator!!! Thank you!! I have applied for all three!! :biggrin:
I think it would be a great idea to also put here whether we did indeed receive the samples. I applied for the Jordan's muesli about three weeks ago, and it came yesterday. Had it this morning for breakfast - and it was lovely :biggrin:
I love jellybelly's :D But it said that 100 participants have already submitted for today. Yeah, it said that for me, too. I just had another look and it let me do it now, though. And good work on those vouchers, by the way, Buffers; I might have to get printing.

Free Dilmah tea sample (http://www.cricinfo.com/link_to_database/INTERACTIVE/DILMAH/SAMPLE/) heh. XD
http://www.uksamples.com/ - this is a REALLY good site. Some of the free samples that have already been posted are already on this site, also. It's a UK site, but it gives you the option at the top to change to US/Canadian too :)
It has a list of categories on the right. Click on one, and then it'll give you a list of what they have on the left. Click the name, and you'll see a bunch of comments and then a direction (at the end of the comments) telling you where to go for the free sample. Hopefully that made sense :S

Another useful link to stop having to use those expensive 0845 numbers. Click on to this site and click on 'search to find alternative number' they ask you to put in the company name you have the 0845 number for, ie tesco, it will then list the freephone numbers which will connect you free of charge to whichever department you are after.

Maybe you guys can try around 4-5pm (UK time) or even just before that. 'cause based on yesterday, the posts done by Fox and myself.. we were able to get them at that time, even though it previously said 100 participants have already entered. So although it says (for now) that 100 participants have already taken place.. for the DAY.. maybe it resets itself during the day (i.e. around the time that myself and Fox entered), rather than midnight :) Hope that helps.

Hmmm... According the website rules it states:
"We offer 100 free samples to UK residents everyday, 365 days of the year. To ensure fairness all round, we randomly change the times to get into the free program, successful submissions will be barred from entering again for a period of three months."
I think we should therefore, randomly keep on checking and advising when it is 'open for submission' again. :razz:
MrsNerdinator

Got the free sample of Jordan's cereals this morning. Which looks great looking at the ingredients! Sadly though, I"m not a cereal person ('cause of milk :S) and will be giving it to hubby - who loves Jordan's, anyways. For those of you who got it too.. not sure if you noticed, but the paper wrapper thing that the sachet comes in, has a 50p off voucher on the back that you can cut off - for when you next want to buy it. It's easy to miss that and could quite easily end up in the bin.
I got something else too.. Olay anti-aging cream. lol. Something else came through as well, but I forgot O_o Blah, head's gone blank.

Not sure if this counts, but if you are thinking of re-decorating, here is a handy little website:
http://www.icipaints.co.uk/colours/duluxtrade/mousepainter/index.jsp
which allowed you to try out a few different colour schemes in various pre-set rooms.
The number of rooms to choose from isn't huge, but they do include furniture, so it's good if you already have, for example, a sofa that you aren't planning on changing, because you can match the wall colour to that, etc.
Great for people like me who are a bit unimaginative where it comes to colour matching!

Heard of www.graze.com (http://www.graze.com) ?
They send you fresh fruits and other natural products in the post (you can choose what types). There are three sections to the box. Have a look here to see what I mean: http://www.graze.com/help/what
The box is designed to fit into your letterbox! (so you don't have to sign for it or anything) It's 2.99 per box.. BUT.. if you use the code (that I'm gonna post at the end of this post), you can get your first box for FREE (no delivery included because the 2.99 would normally include delivery) and your second box will be half price. I've tried two boxes already. Both were free, and out of all the free stuffs I've got so far, this is by far the best, lol (you can't get two boxes free, that only happend because my silly post man (he's a newbie!) didn't bother posting it through the letter box and decided to take it down to the main post office, so I had to wait 24 hours to pick it up! Not good with fresh fruit in there (although it did taste perfect when we did pick it up the day after, lol)! Anyways, so the company gave me a second free box after I told them that it's best that I cancel this 'cause my post man is silly and I'm not gonna keep going down to the main post office! >.>) But they decided to put a main note on my box telling the post man to post it through the letter box. So, anyways, I decided that it is quite fun to get so I'll carry on, 'cause you can tell them of any dietary needs that you have, and they have special nutritionists who pack your box according to your necessities for the day.
I think if you join straight away without using the code that I'm about to give, then you get your first box for half price, but if you register through me :P then you get your first box for free!
My code to you as a 'friend' is: QTYXLW2 (don't worry, I'm allowed to give this out to as many people as I want)
It will ask you for your bank details, but don't worry, they don't take any money out! Not until you buy the second box (half price) if you do wish to continue and are happy with the company. If you aren't happy with it, then you can just cancel at any time. Personally, I'm gonna keep getting a few boxes, purely 'cause there are a few unusual stuffs that I wanna try in it XD
Oh, and for those of you who join, it means they knock off £1 off my next box, lol. Let's be honest, I am posting it for that reason too :P Everyone benefits :)
