Collecting freebies as a hobby is a fun, fun, fun! As with all other hobbies, it will appeal to some and not to others. I don’t know why you are even here if you are not interested in freebies…..? We really don’t get that many things for the time we put into finding and signing up for freebies, so it’s more for the thrill of the “catch” than the actual freebie in a lot of cases. Some of us have very low incomes. And I think, contrary to what you said, there are more freebies than ever these days!!

So, EVERYBODY: I have a Costco membership. My daughter gave it to me for Christmas. My husband and I were skeptical, but no more! For those who love freebies, Costco has food sampling stations every day!! We eat lunch there at least twice a week! They give out samples of freshly baked breads (several kinds), awesome cheesecake…..today, for instance, we had tilapia with mango salsa, fantastic chicken salad, pizza, breaded garlic chicken, 6 kinds of bagels with 6 kinds of butter spreads, chicken dumplings, fresh golden pineapple and clementines, and more! I am always satisfied when I leave and the food is top quality.
