Last week there were some great conversations on my blog’s Facebook page between those known as “contesters” and “sweepers”, regular readers who have never heard of the term before, and bloggers like me. I love being able to open up particular topics for discussion among some great groups of people. Several times in these conversations I reminded people that I used to be a total contest hound – I loved entering giveaways and that’s what took my blog in a new direction in 2008. Previously I had written only about coupons, deals, and how to find free products. 5 years later and here I am!
I used to spend hours on forums sharing tips on sales, and finding great tips on coupon finds and free stuff. Yep, free stuff! Nothing made my day like getting free products just for being savvy enough to find them online.
Now, just as my own blog has progressed so has the world of freebie hunting. It’s so much easier than it was 5 years ago thanks to great sites like Free Stuff Finder Canada.
If receiving free products in the mail makes you giddy too, you definitely need to grab a cup of java and settle in for a bit to browse this site! Whenever I used to collect massive loads of free products, my friends used to sigh and say they just couldn’t figure out how I did it.
The truth is, it takes time. If you want to find great deals, be a coupon rock-star, and score free samples you need to do the work. Sites like Free Stuff Finder Canada make it so much easier, but you still need to sit down and visit the sites linked, fill in the forms, and of course keep up to date and continue doing it. Consider it a hobby and have fun with it, just as you do visiting my site and entering my contests!
Speaking of contests…
One of my Canadian readers is going to win a Kindle Paperwhite E-Reader! To enter, just use the Rafflecopter form below!
