Money Makers and Freebies

I get questioned frequently on how I earn money at home and how I get so many free things (aka samples). That's why I put together this page! I will continue adding sites to earn money at home and/or get free things to give you the most options. I won't be posting daily samples, but can lead you to pages that will allow you to find samples. Have questions or more ideas that I should be trying? Send me a message!

SAMPLES AND FREEBIES

PINCHme Perks - Get full size samples on Tuesdays and take surveys to earn sample boxes.

CrowdTap - Answer questions to earn gift cards or be a product tester for free full size products.

PPOC Club - Get 100% rebate on amazon items. You buy, they refund you = free to you. They cover taxes and can deposit straight to your bank account.

Home Tester Club - Take brief surveys that qualify you to test products free of charge (no rebate). These products are sent to your house and are usually full size products. You will typically need to give them a review on Home Tester Club or send feedback in order to continue qualifying for free products. A few items I've received are toothpaste, shampoo, face serums, and an electric toothbrush. 

Influenster - This is a review app that periodically sends out campaigns (or free products) for you to complete and review. You will be more likely to qualify if you review more of your everyday purchases on the app. About once a month they send out a survey to see if you qualify for the products they are testing, often beauty products. A few items I've received are colored hair spray, serums, lotions, perfume and cologne. This one is not as guaranteed, but kind of a fun app to use and great for checking reviews on products you are considering. 

MONEY MAKERS

YouGov Surveys - Take surveys on local issues, politics, and brands to earn points. Points can be redeemed for gift cards or merchandise. I typically get around $100 in gift cards every year, but could earn more if I took all the surveys offered.

Rebates

Rebatest - Offers rebates on Amazon products from baby essentials to tools to clothes and everything in between. While they do have an option of refunding for reviews, the one I'd recommend is the report only items. This is where you give feedback directly to the seller and no review is needed on another website. They don't cover your taxes paid on items, but if you were going to buy it anyway, get it almost free. Can pay out within 2-3 of submitting feedback. 

ibotta - Get rebates when you shop. Earn cashback when shopping online or in-stores. In 2020, they had rebates for a free thanksgiving meal that included a turkey, stuffing, cranberries, soda, green bean casserole fixings, and mashed potatoes. You buy, they refund. Items are not always free, often you can get between $0.10 and $5 back depending on the item. Diapers are frequently featured as are many brand name foods. We earned nearly $200 back in November alone that can be redeemed to a bank account, paypal, or to a variety of gift cards.

Thrifty Crafter: Natural Egg Dyes

Image
Spring has sprung and Easter is around the corner! Such a fun time, filled with bright colors, candy, family, and more. It can also be a scary food time -- candy filled with corn syrup and other artificial ingredients, eggs dyed with petroleum products, and thousands of empty calories to name a few issues. I can't stop you from overindulging on your ham dinner, but I can help out reducing some of the artificial ingredients you're putting at your table this year. Colored Easter eggs have long been a staple at Easter time, whether you hide them for a Easter Egg hunt or put them out as decoration. Coloring Easter eggs is also just plain fun! That is until you start looking at what is in that dye you are using. Yellow 5, Red 40, blue 2.... Does that sound like something your body can digest well? If you dig a bit deeper you find that these colors are actually petroleum based and are known carcinogens. Yet we use these on food we are feeding our families. This year you can ...
