WHAT I GOT THIS WEEK
The sample box I got today had around $40.88 worth of samples!! There was a lot of coffee and quite a few hair products as well as some expensive supplements. This was a huge haul this week with many full size samples. This week was definitely worth the few surveys needed to earn these samples. Below I break down the approximate price/value of each product I got this week. Watch for reviews of some of these products coming soon. I also got a few coupons as you can see in the picture, but some of them were expired and some others are not a good deal so I chose not to include them this week.

This potentially saves you hundreds of dollars versus buying a new wardrobe to replace that which has been stained and saves you from taking your clothes to a professional.
