Grocery & Household Rebates
All of these were completely free through rebate apps like Aisle, Ibotta, and others — plus a few Facebook feed offers (which often run through Aisle in the background). I keep this list updated with everything I scored so you can see the proof. My r...
Got this free through the Aisle rebate app — chose the Pomegranate Açaí Blueberry flavor. Haven’t tried it yet, but I’m curious if the flavor combo tastes as good as it sounds. I’ll update once I’ve tested it.
Yesly Water
Got this free through the Aisle rebate app. I tried the Blood Orange flavor. It was surprisingly fresh: first sip had a light sweetness (not overpowering) and the aftertaste was subtle and clean. I didn’t hate it, but I wouldn’t crave it or buy again...
HOP WTR
(Dead deal) This wasn’t just free — I actually made $2 stacking Aisle + Ibotta. The sauce smells 🔥 but the hack tastes even better.
Spicy Al Pastor | Mexican-Style Barbecue Sauce
Free through the Aisle rebate app — got the bite-sized Fancy Pants Chocolate Chip Cookies. My toddler tried them first and absolutely loves them. I haven’t tried them yet, but based on his reaction, they’re already a hit in our house.
Fancypants Baking Co.
Free through the Aisle rebate app — first time trying jackfruit. I was surprised how much the texture actually reminded me of real meat, and the sweet barbecue flavor was nice. Don’t hate it, but I probably wouldn’t buy again unless it was free since...
Jack & Friends Vegan Jackfruit Jerky
Free through the Aisle rebate app — I’ve had Ocean’s Halo snacks before, but never tried the Spicy Thai flavor until now. Planning to pair it with some tuna and report back. Nice little grab-and-go 84¢ freebie.
Oceans Halo Seaweed
Free through the Aisle rebate app. I got the beef pack and these smell just like people jerky. Fully dog-approved.
Rare Breed
Free through the Aisle rebate app. They sent me this as a gift when I downloaded the app. Not sure if that’s typical, but I’m not mad about it.
Dark Chocolate Coconut Bars - Unreal Snacks
Free through the Ibotta rebate app — I eat it with fruit or blend it into recipes. Such a great multi-use item, and even better when it’s free.
Garelick Farms Cottage Cheese
Freebie score from Aisle — smoky/earthy roasted poblano. I messed up and didn’t stack with Ibotta ($2 back) since I split receipts. I was heart broken my mistake did not make this a money maker. 😩
Roasted Poblano Mexican-Style Barbecue Sauce
Grabbed this one free through an Aisle rebate at The Vitamin Shoppe. Redeemed fine, but honestly? I hated the taste. Proof it showed up in my haul, but not something I’d grab again.
Drink Update
Freebie from Aisle, redeemed at Walmart. I actually paired this with the free Zarbee’s pouch I got and used them as “filler” for a 1-year-old’s birthday gift. Smart way to stretch freebies into something useful (and intentional looking).
Brainiac Foods
Free sample snagged through a sponsored Facebook “Get Offer.” Showed up right in my mailbox. I actually paired this with a Brainiac pouch (another freebie from Aisle) and used them as filler in a 1-year-old’s birthday present. Makes the gift look int...
Zarbee's Kids Triple Action Electrolyte Drink
This was a Facebook freebie — they only sent me one chew, but honestly still generous for a sample. My dog loved it, and it kept him busy way longer than I expected. Nice rawhide-free option if you want something healthier.
Beef No-Hide® Dog Chews - Rawhide Alternative
I’ve actually snagged these free a few times through Ibotta, so when I saw an Aisle offer while I was already at Target, I grabbed one without hesitation. My go-to is the Chocolate Peanut Butter, but this time I tried the Cookie Dough bar. Solid free...
Perfect Snacks
Picked these up free at Target through an Aisle promotion — 3 cans covered. Normally over $5 for just three singles, which feels steep to me, BUT I actually loved them. Light, refreshing, and zero sugar. Glad I got to try without paying.
The Beverage That Loves You Back | Swoon
Scored a full-size pack completely free from a Facebook ad that actually ran through WeStock — first time I’d ever heard of them. Definitely one of those random but real wins that proves you can land big freebies outside the usual apps.
Alc-A-Chino
Beauty Freebies & Samples
All of these are beauty freebies I requested and received — skincare, makeup, and more. Most came from brand sample drops or sponsored ads, and I’ll note if the links are still live so you can grab them too. This is my running proof log for beauty-sp...
Proof right here that you can get full-size products, not just samples. I scored the jumbo 100-pack (normally $20) completely free through a Facebook ad offer that ran via Aisle — purchased at Costco, then fully reimbursed. One of those big wins that...
Clean Towels | Soft & Sustainable Towels
These retail around $7, but I snagged them free at CVS thanks to a coupon stacking deal. Sometimes a well-timed coupon makes it a $0 checkout win.
L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Makeup Wipes 30ct
Scored this luxe eye cream sample via Send Me a Sample. Full-size is $65, so even a mini feels like a big win in the beauty freebie world. Perfect example of how high-end skincare brands sneak into these sample drops.
Benefiance Wrinkle Smoothing Eye Cream
Just requested this free sample.
Supposed to rival some $80 dark spot serums. Will test and report back.
Mela B3 Dark Spot Serum w/ Melasyl™ + Niacinamide
Just got this one to test because I keep seeing derms and estheticians swear by it. It’s supposedly the “gold standard” for sensitive skin SPF with zero white cast, but it’s not cheap.
I’ll report back soon. If you want to try it with me, I dropped ...
Anthelios Melt-In Milk Sunscreen SPF 60
(Out of Stock) Just claimed a sample of this from a Tree Hut BDY campaign. It’s their overnight body serum with bakuchiol, hyaluronic acid, and squalane.
It’s giving body care meets skincare — like a retinol night cream but for your legs.
I’ll upd...
Renewing Overnight Body Serum with Bakuchiol + Hyaluronic Acid - bdy.
I can’t test this one personally. I apparently hit the CeraVe sample limit (which they don’t publicly mention).
If you’re new or haven’t requested too many in the past, this link should still work for you. It’s totally free (no shipping) and has bee...
AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30
Just claimed the 3-day trial of this vitamin C wrinkle serum through Eau Thermale Jonzac’s official skincare trial program.
You get to choose one of three products! I went with the Hyalu Activ C serum.
No shipping cost, no strings, but heads up: I ...
Hyalu Activ C Radiance Wrinkle Serum
Supposedly “won” these through a SoPost freebie drop. Shipping has been super slow, and I don’t have them in hand yet, but I’m including it as proof that these offers pop up. Will update once (if) they actually arrive.
Hydro-Star® Black Star Pimple Patches
PinchMe Drop - On Its Way
I applied for these freebies individually through PINCHme. It’s not a subscription box, just a rotating set of free samples you can request when they go live.
Shipping is free for anything you’re approved to receive, but availability changes fast.
...
Got the email invite for this promo: sign up for IPSY with 25% off, then get a $15 Amazon Gift Card back to cover the cost. It should net out to free, but I’m listing it as pending since I haven’t received the survey or gift card yet. The bag came in...
IPSY
Internet says this is the dry-skin holy grail 👀 …we’ll see if it’s miracle or meh.
Intensive Healing Lotion with 15% Lactic Acid AHA
Fresh flex loading… will my laundry smell rich-girl bougie or just like Febreze 2.0?
Downy Unstopables Fresh In-Wash Scent Beads
Freebie incoming from PinchMe! My dog will be the taste tester for these bacon Zoomers.
BONKERS
Just applied for these through PINCHme. They’re color-changing “chameleon” bandages that shift with body heat. Total gimmick or low-key genius? I’ll find out soon.
I’ll update when they show up and if they’re actually worth grabbing the full size la...
Color Change
Just claimed this free through PINCHme. I haven’t tested it yet, but I’m curious how strong the scent actually is.
Downy Light Scent Booster Beads, Ocean Mist
They did it again. LUMIFY eye drops — preservative-free this time — just showed up in my PINCHme approval.
I swear I didn’t even ask for this. PINCHme just loves sending eye drops.
LUMIFY® Preservative Free Redness Reliever
Other Product Testing Panels
Freebies from panels like BzzAgent, Influenster, or Home Tester. These aren’t rebates or coupons — they’re product testing campaigns where I was sent full-size items for free in exchange for feedback.
My first-ever freebie through BzzAgent. Pretty sure they’re only sending one packet, but still — free is free. So far, the platform feels slow between approving, shipping, and actually arriving, but I’m logging it here as proof that it works.
McCormick Original Taco Seasoning Mix 6-Pack
