Who doesn't like freebies? Meet Freebie Geni, a search engine that you can use to find freebies in the US, UK, Canada and Netherlands. Freebie Geni aggregates several different freebie sites, including SampleADay.com, FreeSnatcher.com, Free-Stuff-Finder.com and others. You can search by entering your own term or by selecting from one of the 60 categories.
To see how well Freebie Geni works, I decided to browse the samples using the category tab on the home page. Food freebies are always good, so I clicked on the link. I was quickly taken to the list of food freebies.
The list began with all of the food (and other) freebies listed at Craigslist San Francisco Bay. If I lived in San Francisco, I could get myself a free hamster cage, free Merrick dog food, a 20-year-old food processor, Parakeet food, or Kefir grains. Hmm. Not all of those are food. Not so impressive.
I scrolled down the page a bit further and came upon the food freebie section offered at SampleADay.com. There were a couple of dog food treat freebies, some non-food perfume samples, and a free food pyramid poster. I'm not seeing any people food freebies though. That's what I'm interested in.
Moving down the page, I see freebies from iCraveFreebies.com. I scan their freebie list. Aha! People food! If I had a Pilot Travel Center nearby, I could pick up a free 32 ounce soda. There are several dog food sample offers, stickers and a coupon, too. Moving on...
The rest of the page had essentially the same freebies. There were more dog food samples, coupons, posters and stickers, but very few people food samples. Oh well. If you are looking for dog freebies, you're all set.
The concept of a freebie aggregator is good. It's an easy way to pick out the freebies you want. Rather than going from freebie site to freebie site, you can just do a search and you will get a listing of freebies at Freebie Geni's partner sites. Unfortunately, there are only eight sites that the search engine searches, but since it appears to be a relatively new site, more freebie websites will probably be added to the database as time passes. Would I recommend paying a visit to the site? Sure, why not. You really have nothing to lose and it only takes a minute to scroll through the results. Who knows, you might find something you (or your dog) would like.
