We all want stuff free, free samples, and basically everything and anything that is free. I must have filled out 20 offers for free samples just this week for stuff. When the free stuff comes in the mail, was it worth spending the time to fill out the offer in the first place. Usually no.

You get what you pay for
When you fill out for a free sample such as Free TShirts most of the time, you wouldn’t want to be caught in public wearing these shirts. While there can be exceptions to the rules, this just adds to the endless amount of junk (I have plenty of this.) Take the free cologne I received in the mail. It was only a postcard with a small bit of the sent sprayed on it. Was this worth the 3 minutes of filling out my information to get the sample? Probably not. Consider if you spent an hour filling out offers for free samples, would it really be worth 1 hour of your time.

It’s the novelty of the idea
We all like seeing the word free, just because in real life we don’t get a “free lunch”. The idea of getting something for free always seems like wonderful opportunity. People make contests giving away free things, which people enter and imagine, what if? This is why the lottery has been so successful. People buy tickets for that big “what if” when the odds are against them in all cases. We see free samples for tampons and shirts, candy and everything in this nature. Yet, I can guarantee most of the time, these free samples took more time filling out for than they were worth. Half the time they don’t even show up in the mail.

With this said, free samples?
Even knowing that its probably a waste of my time, I still fill out offers for free samples. I like it when strange stuff comes in the mail. The other day I received a free hand lotion. Yeah the sample lasted for 3 minutes of enjoyment, but in otherwords, it was something out of the ordinary and so I enjoyed it. Getting free stuff in the mail, lets us say, yeah I got something free and at the same time it sort of pulls us out of the day’s daily routine.
