The only thing better than snagging a great new product at a low cost? Getting it for free.
Our society would have that all valuable things come with a price. The truth?
Not everything good comes with a wallet-crushing number attached to it.
Here’s 10 things you can get without paying a penny.
Do you feel like you just can’t stay afloat after spending your entire monthly budget on diapers and baby formula? Among the universal experiences that parents share, this one is key: children are expensive! However, there are ways to minimize costs. Today’s biggest brands often offer infant formula samples, and you can sign up with diaper brands Luvs and Pampers to get free samples as well. If you head to Sam’s Club, you’ll also get free samples of their Simply Right diapers and wipes. And if you have a baby-gift registry at Target, you’ll get free samples and $50 in coupons.
If you’re anything like me, a trip to Sephora practically screams death to the wallet. What with the contour, highlight, and botox-in-a-bottle promises that circulate the beauty industry, it can be difficult for beauty junkies not to drop a wad of cash on these oh-so-precious items.
Luckily, this where free samples come in extra handy. First off, there’s nothing wrong with asking for samples of any product that you want to try before you buy. Second, Sephora has an awesome Beauty Insider Rewards Program, and when you purchase enough product you’ll get a slew of free deluxe samples. You’ll also get a free gift from Ulta on your Birthday.
Whether you’ve been caught off-guard by a potential impulse purchase or you’ve been saving up for something you really want but can’t yet afford, free gift cards can rescue any weekly budget.
One of the simplest and most straightforward ways to score these is by taking paid surveys through Survey Junkie. After you sign up, you’ll start earning points for sharing your opinion. As soon as you hit 1,000 points ($10), you can redeem. When you do so successfully, rewards are sent immediately. Survey Junkie offers e-Gift cards to the following places:
Or you can get cash through PayPal.

We love spoiling our pooches… But it’s a particular type of irritation when you just bought your dog a $15 Snoopy, only to discover its head’s been torn off within hours of presenting him with the gift.
Luckily, there’s tons of ways to save money and still care for your pet. First of all, many restaurants offer free treats to dogs. Local veterinary schools and shelters will offer free grooming, and some hotels will let Fido stay for free.
These days, it’s easy as 1-2-3 to find information on how to get fit. Before you run to a book an appointment with a nutritionist or personal trainer, check out the wealth of resources that will guide you free free. Both online and in-app purchases make it super simple to structure meal plans and exercise plans. Many of these apps will show you how to fit in a good work out at home, and many cities provide free outdoor gyms for people who want to exercise outside of the gym.
We all know that experience is more valuable than material goods. And there are few experiences as beautiful and enriching as spending time outdoors. Numerous national parks are free to the public – like Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia and North Carolina, and the Great Smoky Mountains in North Carolina and Tennessee. Some state park systems offer free admission to adults, and many national parks feature free admission on specific days throughout the year.
This is another one valuable experiences that can be much more rewarding than a trip to the mall. Many museums offer free admission, where you can browse exhibits and expand your horizons both culturally, emotionally, and intellectually – all without dropping a penny! Of course… donations are often recommended.
Just like museums, not all cultural events come with a hefty price tag. Check your local heater to see whether they’ve got any free shows, or whether you can volunteer in exchange for admission. Other venues will offer free concerts and live outdoor performances when the weather is right. You can find resources on your local government website.
Besides college tuition, knowledge doesn’t have to break the bank. Head to Amazon to find their free e-books, or to iTunes and BarnesandNoble.com. If you want to go the old-school route, remember that libraries still exist! And if you prefer to listen to your literature, free and legal audiobooks abound online.
Nothing adds richness to an otherwise mundane Monday like a new music find. And with so many online streaming services, it’s as easy as ever to discover new sounds. Head to Spotify, Grooveshark, or Pandora to find new titles that will inspire you to dance, release stuck emotions, or simply plaster a smile on your face.
These are just ten valuable things that you can get for free! But when you tart doing your research, you’ll see that the list is truly endless.
