Tip of the week
If you want to get hold of a freebie, you’ve got to move quickly, advises Alex Staff of Magic Freebies.
“They’re often offered on a first-come, first-served basis so you need to act fast!” she says.
Freebies exist so that companies can introduce you to their brand and products, with the hope that if you like the product you’ll buy it again in the future, she explains.
“It’s a great way for you to score a freebie and try before you buy,” she adds.
Sign up at sites such as Magic Freebies, Latest Free Stuff, and Wow Free Stuff, to be sent details of free offers when they become available.
“Persistence is key with freebie-finding, but keep on applying and you’ll soon see the freebies rolling through your letter box,” says Alex.
