Not so much as a free sample has arrived by post this week but that doesn’t mean there haven’t been any freebies. When things are a little slow I like to think outside the box, I look for coupons for free products, shopping apps, store apps, reward card schemes, and any survey sites I might be close to cashing out with.

My husband bought a Google Chromecast with his Christmas money last year, every month he checks for rewards, and this time we got two freebies, Now TV movies and a movie rental from Google Play. We’ve had loads of great freebies since we bought it and considering we only paid £19.99 it’s paid for itself many times over.

This gorgeous shopping bag is the only freebie that arrived by post this week, Dotcomgiftshop was giving these away a couple of weeks ago but they went super fast so I was really lucky to get one.

Although most of the items in the above picture weren’t technically freebies I’m going to include them, I used a £2.50 off a £5 frozen food spend at Tesco coupon that arrived in the post this week, I like to make the most of any coupons I get so I chose five £1 items and paid only £2.50 it’s always handy to have quick meals in if we are pushed for time one evening, the Little Dish meal was completely free and came from a printable coupon that Mumsnet was offering a couple of weeks ago, I also got 64p off my shopping bill with their new brand match scheme.

I checked the Bargain Booze app on my phone and found they had two freebies on offer this week. they are still available until October 20th.

I have a couple of coupons for free items to redeem this week but I will tell you about those once I have them next week.

No prizes to report this week but I’m still plugging away and entering as I know that a surprise could be just around the next corner.

If you have had any freebies or prizes this week let me know in the comments section below as I love hearing from you.
