Walmart is well known for their low prices and large variety of products available. However, many customers are unaware of that fact that is Walmart gives away freebies of products they carry in their stores to online users all the time. Walmart’s free samples are occasionally given away in stores as well. This is a win-win situation for both you as the customer and Walmart as the corporation. It is also beneficial to the companies of the products giving away samples through the Wal-Mart website. If you are wondering how to get your hands of some of these Wal-Mart freebies and samples, here’s a guide telling you how.
Singing up to receive Walmart’s free samples in your mailbox is very simple and will only take a few minutes of your time to sign up for all the current ones available. Begin by visiting the Walmart.com Free Samples website http://instoresnow.walmart.com/In-Stores-Now-free-samples.aspx. You will see several products listed that have the words “Request a Free Sample” underneath the picture of the product. Click on that link. From here, each sample request is a little different. You have to search around the page, usually located somewhere on the picture, for a saying such as “Choose Your Free Sample” or “Request a Free Sample”. Sometimes the words and the little icon can be hard to find because of the colorful and animated graphics. Once you locate it, click on the button. You will then be directed to a page where you can fill out your information.
Sometimes there is a short survey asking 1-3 questions about your use with that certain type of product. After the survey you will fill out your mailing address so they know where to send it. Be sure to unclick the box that opts you in for any types of mailing lists if you don’t want to receive newsletters. There is usually an additional box asking if you want to give your feedback on the product you receive. Although this is optional, it is a great way to tell companies your opinion and help them improve their products for customers like you. Companies will often take this information and allocate more samples based on responses, so it can be beneficial for you as well.
Your sample will then arrive in the mail about a month after requesting it. Wal-Mart’s free samples are offered on a regular basis through their free sample website, so it’s best to check back regularly to see what new freebies have popped up. Once you start requesting Wal-Mart freebies on a regular basis you will notice small packages arriving at your house all the time. Sometimes you’ll even forget you requested one and it will come as a surprise in the mail. The easiest thing to do is bookmark the website and check back weekly. You can even subscribe to a thread on a freebie site that alerts you to new Wal-Mart freebies that are available. Roboform is a useful and free program used by many freebie hunters that allows you to click one button and it will fill out the sample request forms with your information fast and easy.
This is a great way to try out new products and not have to spend a dime of your own money. Most of the products you will get to sample are personal hygiene and bath and body products. Past freebies have included products from companies such as Always, Kotex, Playtex, Prilosec, Curel, Crest, Colgate, Maybelline, Tena Serenity, Viva, Gain, Tide and so many more name brand companies. Sampling allows you to test a product and see if it works well for you. Sometimes a coupon is included with the sample in case you do decide to buy a full size product. Occasionally the same site will allow you to print a coupon to get a full-size product free as well.
Another great way to utilize Walmart’s free samples is to take them along with you during travel. Trial products such as toothpaste, shampoo and lotion are easy to carry in your luggage and many even pass the TSA liquid test if you wanted to take it through security as a carry-on. Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to try the latest products absolutely free!
