There are a lot of companies nowadays that will give away items for free… and not just small things like a pencil but big items like an iPhone, TVs, laptops, and more.  Some of these companies you need to complete surveys for and you are compensated with a large item, while other companies you need to complete offers or test products or something of that sort.  Here’s a list of some recent ones that I’ve come across…

Get a $500 Grocery Gift Card
Get His and Hers Blackberry Bold Smartphones
Get a $250 Gas Card
Inbox Dollars - Get Paid to Read Emails, Play Games, or Take Surveys

There are also a lot of companies with new products that will let you try a 10 or 14 or 30 day supply for free in hopes that you like their product and order it in the future. Sometimes the trials are totally 100% free, and sometimes they do require you to pay a few bucks for the cost to ship it to you. This is ideal if there are products out there that you want to try, but don’t want to have to buy a full supply of. Here’s a few that I’ve come across…

Free 14 Day Trial for a Teeth Whitening Product
Free Wrinkle Reducer Trial
Free 30 Day Trial to Barry’s Bootcamp Fitness DVDs
Free Bottle of Acai Weight Loss Supplement
Free Trial of Stretch Mark Eraser
Green Tea Anti Aging Free Trial
14 Day Free Trial of Sleep Enhancer (if you have trouble sleeping)
Free Bottle of Green Tea Diet Supplement

All the items listed here are working and valid as of right now today. I do not know when the offer/trial periods will run out, or if there is only a limited supply. If you come across any other free offers and want to share them, post a comment and let us know what they are.

I hope everyone is thawing out from winter!

If you haven’t seen Twilight yet, I reccomend you watch it! Personally, I thought it was a great movie! The movie will not be released until March 21st, but you can preorder a 2 disc special edition at Amazon now!

Here is a description of the movie:
Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) doesn’t expect much when she moves to the small town of Forks, Washington, until she meets the mysterious and handsome Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson)—a boy who’s hiding a dark secret: he’s a vampire. As their worlds and hearts collide, Edward must battle the bloodlust raging inside him as well as a coterie of undead that would make Bella their prey. Based on the #1 New York Times best-selling sensation by Stephenie Meyer, Twilight adds a dangerous twist to the classic story of star-crossed lovers.

DVD features:
-Presented in widescreen format only
-Audio commentary by Catherine Hardwicke, Kristen Stewart, and Robert Pattinson
