There are so many ways free samples can help you spend less money, but there is one that I think is often overlooked–although it probably saves most households more money than any other way free samples can.
Free Samples Reduce Buyer’s Remorse
How often have you bought a new brand of shampoo or coffee or body wash only to discover that you hate it? In fact, you hate it so much you just can’t bear the thought of using up the whole rest of the package or bottle, so you toss it or give it to a friend with different tastes than your own, all the while thinking of the precious dollars that product took from your budget; leaving you with less money to now go and buy your old favorite.
Taking the few minutes to fill out forms for free samples lets you try the product for free, saving you from buyer’s remorse and therefore helping you spend less money.
I can think of 2 or 3 brands at least that my family now uses regularly simply because we tried a sample and loved it. I can also think of at least 2 or 3 brands that our family never bought a full sized product of simply because we received a free sample and when we tried it we found that the product didn’t suit our tastes or preferences.

I love free samples because I get to try new products!
I like to get samples to try things before I purchase and see if I like them.
Thanks for this post and the chance at this great giveaway. I love that I can sample stuff before I buy and not waste money. I can’t wait to receive my first 4 samples from PINCHme ?
Love samples. Great way to try products or to have take with you size.
I like them for taking along on trips.
Hiya!!! I like trying new things without buying the big sizes, just like you said. Thanks for having the giveaway. Blessed be, hugs!!!
Samples are a great way to try a new product, but I also like to tuck away my favorites for camping trips.
I love being able to try new things before the commitment of a purchase – especially for things like shampoo or body wash!
I love trying new products for free before I purchase them! Thanks for the giveaway!
Love getting free samples for taking on travels and sharing with guests/family!
My favorite thing is being able to try new products for free! That way if I don’t like it, i’m not wasting it by throwing it away!
