The Best Freebies for You

FREE minutes and texts for 16-24 year olds
Blyk is a new website offering 16-24 years 43 minutes to any UK network and 217 text messages per month absolutely free. What’s the catch we hear you ask…well the way the network is financed is by allowing advertising companies to send you adverts on your phone, which in turn pays for your minutes. This sounds really annoying, but Blyk assure that you won’t get more than 6 advertising text messages a day, and the texts are tailored to your likes and dislikes and often include offers and discounts for products you might be interested in. All you have to do is already own a phone that can do picture messaging (MMS), sign up at www.blyk.co.uk and wait for your sim to arrive in the post.
To start phoning for free, click here.
By clicking here and filling out the online form, you can get two free T-Mobile SIM cards. No contracts or monthly fees – just a simple pay as you go SIM card.

FREEBIES on Gumtree, Craigslist and Freecycle
Gumtree: Just go to the website and under ‘Stuff for Sale’ click freebies for a list of free things in your area. You will have to collect the items but it’s a small price to pay for a free sofa or washing machine! Just click on the items you want then email the owners to organise a time to collect – but be quick as they tend to go quickly. You can also try posting an ad of your own saying what items you need and someone might get in touch.
Snaffleup: This is the newest free item site. It works exactly the same way as the others. List your items on the site and someone will pick them up for you. Or you go and pick up the items once you’ve emailed the person who is offering it. No money is allowed to change hands. You can register your postcode so the search prioritises items that are in your area. There are also other features – check them all out here. We’ve tried Snaffleup out and we got our hands on a huge tv within a couple of hours of emailing the person who was offering it. Brilliant!
Freecycle: This is another way to get free items that people are throwing out. Go the website where you sign up for free and join a Freecycle network near you. You can brows e the networks by your region here. Once you become a member of a local group you can view the items being given away and post your own items. Everything posted must be free, legal and appropriate to all ages.
Craigslist: This is similar to the other two and lets you get your hands on stuff other people are getting rid of. Click on the Great Britain menu then choose your nearest city. Look on the ‘for sale’ menu for the ‘free’ option and see all the items that are available to you for no money. All you have to do is pick it up. People often use the site when they are moving house so are keen to shift stuff as soon as possible.

If you need to find phone numbers and don’t want to pay use this number – 0800 100 100 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 0800 100 100 end_of_the_skype_highlighting – from a landline and listen to a short ad after they have found the number you need but before they give you the number.
When you book a free Home Fire Safety Visit from your local Fire and Rescue Service, you’ll get free smoke alarms fitted in your house as part of the visit. Great for your bank balance and your piece of mind.

Could not find any reference to Winedeal 20% discount code
available until August 31st ?
It’s in our Daily Express tips page – http://www.moneymagpie.com/tips
Finally, an issue that I am passionate about. I have looked for information of this topic for the last several hours. Your site is greatly valued
Earn free flight vouchers by filling out surveys
nice article, thought i would add http://www.everyvouchercode.com in there. The thing that gets me with these voucher code and discount sites is the “click to reveal” button which open a million pop ups, this site doesn’t have that so that’s why i would recommend it to a friend.
oops spelling mistake, I meant towels and not towes
The L’Oreal offer states that the sample number has been reached and the Bodyform offer is for pantyliners and not towes
…and thanks for your nice comment Kris
So glad Marz. Keep checking back!
Took your advice re; chanel mascara; it worked a treat – i am now the proud owner of a chanel mascara sample – thank you.
Hi, good post. I have been wondering about this issue,so thanks for posting. I’ll definitely be coming back to your site.
i agree with Ms S, when they sent them through the post they werent actual paints jst coloured pieces of card =[
Re free fire safety visit – excellent service and well worth doing. Even though we already had some smoke alarms they put more into other rooms we had not thought about ( plus one above the TV in case there is an electrical fault, a very good place to put one – a friend lost everything in her living room when her TV caught fire, she was in the house at the time aswell ) And they also advise you on best escape routes if you should be caught in a house fire.
received free tea samples as requested. gr8!
when clicking for freebies DONT click on the main header, search the info paragraphs for a link to take you to the website.
Hey, you have to click on a link in the text, NOT the title.. e.g. FREE Collagen Re-Plumper
L’Oréal are giving away free samples of Wrinkle De-Crease Collagen Re-Plumper daily moisturiser with Collagen. Simply click here and fill in your address for your free sample.
Click on the link that is in ‘Wrinkle De-Crease…’

Is it just me or is anyone else having problems with the site? Everytime I click a freebie link, it just takes me back to the main list page?
What about free musical instruments as I’ve not seen any anywhere, or even heard of free instruments. Free instrument equipment as I always wondered would it ever be possible in all the world, to get free guitar pedals?

Just used this cool website- you get a free driving lesson with them and your not tied in or have to purchase lessons before hand – and if you like the instructor -which I did – they even give you more discounts afterwards- so spread the word.
