Default Re: What freebies have you gotten recently?

I gamble for free each week at a different online casino. I know that not everyone agrees with online casinos but for me it is just an hour or so of fun with someone else's money.

By the way, it has to be the best example of affiliate marketing that I have seen recently. Someone deposits money in an account for me (usually $50) and I sign up as a real money player. I never gamble with my own money (I know that is what the casino is counting on). The person that deposited the money for me get a referral (usually $150) and I get the free play. I get to keep what I win. Last week I won $550. Not bad for play with someone else investment. I just referred a friend. They will make money off of him...he plays with about $1000 of his own money each month.

It is easy for me to not spend my own money because I don't have any to spend after the house payment and daycare.

If anyone else is interested in more information you can e-mail me at twinsmommylaf AT gmail.com.

I just received a generous bottle of Dove hydrating hand wash. I recently received 2 tubes of toothpaste and I have beaucoup deodorant, shampoo, and conditioner. I have received various lotions, perfumes, feminine products, and the biore facial scrub is to die for. I can't find it in the stores. The freebies here are great.
