Freebie Friday!

 


Welcome to another weekly Freebie Friday post, where I tell you what free samples and full-sized products I received in the mail and how you can get them too. Someone asked me why I do a "Freebie Friday" each week, so I'll tell you.

A while back I listed all the free samples and wins that I had received that previous year and so many people didn't believe that I could have gotten so many free things.  I decided to prove it by taking a picture every week and sharing the sites that I found the links to the freebies at. So now you too can get great free samples coming to your mailbox each week.

  You can find links to great samples at Hey It's Free and Freebie Shark.


A little over 7 months ago I started saving for a new laptop. I decided to use all of the Amazon gift cards that I got from surveys and blog contests for this. Well about a week ago I received my "Free" laptop. As you can see, I used my gift card balance and my credit card rewards. Here's a picture of my old HP Windows 8.1 laptop and my new Acer Aspire Windows 11 laptop.

I'm pretty happy with it. It was easy to set up and once I logged into my Microsoft account, they transferred all of my bookmarks, and folders I had on the bookmarks bar from my old laptop. That made things a lot easier for me.

  6. Hope you will get used to it quickly. I generally hate my laptop LOL I can never seem to get used to the mouse pad, so I stick almost exclusively to my desktop computer and use the laptop only when the other one has internet broken or outside the house.

    1. I hate using the mouse pad. I have a separate mouse that I just have to plug a small thing into the USB slot to work.
