What do you do with your freebies??

I was just wondering what you all do with your freebies....there are alot of freebies out there that are of no use to some of us..for example..free dog food if you dont have a dog..LOL

What I like to do with some of my freebies is to give them away to homeless shelters and such ...Like shampoo ect. There are alot of things you can do with freebies and you it makes you feel good about it too...You can sign up with emfamil for a free sample of baby formula, even if you dont have a baby and then drop the sample in the food bank bin at your local grocery store, is nice to know that a baby can be fed and all it took was 30 seconds of your time. you can feed a dog too if you sign up for the free dog food...LOL

I personally love freebie hunting and the thrill of a full mailbox...LOL( hmmm mabey I need to get a life that sounds so bad...LOL) but I dont want the stuff to go to waste.

Anyways I was just wondering what you do with yours.........

I keep what I can use. I give to my school teacher friends a lot of stuff, my daugher has 3 children, they can always use things. I simply share what I get with family and friends, they greatly appreciate it.

Nothing goes to waste. What i cant use i give as a gift or donate it. I ran a bingo game on my field placement and that took alot of stuff. i also volunteer at a food bank and bring stuff there too.

If I receive items such as Baby food, women's products, pet food and stuff such as that I place it in the food bank box at my local grocery store. I know they can always use it.

And for shampoo, toothpaste etc - I send to an organization that makes up packages for the less fortunate in our country and overseas.

Just trying to do my bit and help other's with free stuff that I may never use.

I'm still new to freebie hunting, and I haven't recieved anything yet, and so far I have just been applying for things I know I can use. But donating things I wouldn't use sounds like a nice idea.

I love the idea of donating things that you don't need to homeless shelters. I only order things that I'd use or that family or friends could use.

I keep what we need(both hubby & I are on pensions)But anything else(dog food,etc) we donate to local agencies. I enjoy freebie hunting too much, not to share the prizes!!!!Cheryl

Wow! That is GREAT karma! Me, personally, I use some freebies right away, others sit around, as "emergencies" (incase I run out of shampoo, or deodorant, for example) and others I give to my friends and family. That is a great idea though, donating to shelter. I will definetly keep that in mind.
