I do not recommend you do that. Sure I'm going to be receiving like 30 samples in the mail in 4-6 weeks. WOOP. But was in worth it? I say not. At the end of that weekend, I realised that I completely wasted a weekend hunting down freebies, which were mostly tiny, one application type packages of moisturiser or perfume. The reality is that while, yes, they were free, I'm most likely going to get absolutely nothing out of them.
If you are going to go freebie crazy I suggest making a throw-away email/facebook account. Every time you sign up for a freebie you will have to give your email. I got a ton of junk mail after I went on my freebie spree. I just toss it all into my junk mail folder, but still it was annoying. And same with facebook, if it's a facebook freebie you will have to "like" their product, and then you end up with a ton of junk in your news feed. Again, you can customise your settings and get rid of most of the annoying posts,or you can create a throw-away email/facebook page. Either way be prepared to get a lot of junk and have to deal with it.
There are lots of freebie forums out there. The one I like to use is:
Smart Canuck Freebie Forum
What I find a little annoying about it, is that often you click through the links only to find that that freebie is actually from October 2011 and is closed, but someone just posted a new comment about it.
From now on when I find new active freebies, I will post them here. I definitely recommend taking a second to think about whether it's something you actually want or want to try. Most of the samples are tiny and it can take some serious time if you go for every single freebie. Filling out all your information over and over again. But if it's something you want to try, then it is totally worth it!!
Happy Freebying!
