10 Companies That’ll Give You Free Stuff Just For Asking

Getting a free frappuccino from Starbucks or a stack of IHOP pancakes on your birthday is a time-honored tradition. But even if it’s not your birthday, you can still get free stuff the other 364 days of the year if you know the right companies to ask. This includes food, personal care products, and other complimentary goods that can be sent to your door at no cost. All it takes on your end is signing up for an account or quickly filling out an online form. Here are 10 companies that’ll give you free stuff just for asking.

McCormick

McCormick makes some of the most ubiquitous spices and seasonings available. By signing up for the McCormick Consuming Testing program, the company will send you free products to try at home. This is a fantastic way to reduce your grocery store bills, as buying new spices can be expensive. McCormick may even select you for in-person testing if you live near Baltimore, Maryland, or New Orleans, Louisiana.

PINCHme

PINCHme partners with top brands such as Revlon, Tide, and Hallmark to get their new products into the hands of eager consumers. Just sign up on the PINCHme website, apply for the product you’re interested in, and the company will send it straight to your doorstep in no time. All that PINCHme asks in return is for your honest feedback about your experience trying out the products.

Influenster

Companies rely on social media influencers to get the word out about products to increase sales. But you don’t have to be a celebrity to try out Influenster, a free app that anyone can download. After downloading the app and signing up, Influenster will send you “VoxBoxes” full of brand-new curated products catered to your interests. You’ll be allowed to keep any products they send your way — just try them out and leave a review.

BzzAgent

BzzAgent is a company that partners with desirable brands such as L’Oreal, Armani, and Conair. Sign up to become a BzzAgent, and tell them what items you’d like to test. They’ll assign you to a product campaign. The service is absolutely free to sign up for and use, and you’re allowed to keep anything they send.

Tom’s of Maine

Tom’s of Maine uses natural ingredients in toothpaste, deodorant, and other personal care products. The company also has a reputation for sending out free items to loyal and prospective customers. Just contact Tom’s of Maine here and let them know how much you love their products, or that you’re interested in trying one out but aren’t sure which one is right for you. Odds are they’ll reward you by sending some complimentary products your way in return.

L’Oreal

Sign up for L’Oreal’s consumer testing program, and you’ll be one step closer to receiving quality beauty products at no charge. The only qualification is being 18 or older; otherwise, everyone is eligible. Once you’re signed up, you can expect to receive products from a wide range of companies under the L’Oreal umbrella, like Kiel’s and Maybelline.

Neutrogena

Signing up for a Neutrogena account is free, and it immediately allows you to order samples and coupons for your favorite products. This includes lotions and sunscreens, just to name a few of the more popular dermatologist-recommended items.

Social Nature

Social Nature pairs its members with free products they think would be a good fit. Social Nature’s products promote healthy living and include freeze-dried herbs, gluten-free dips, and sparking energy drinks. Sign up for an account today and start getting paired with new product matches weekly.

Office Depot

You may be eligible to become an Office Depot Brand Ambassador if you have a social media account with upwards of 1,000 followers — on Facebook, X, Instagram, or any other major service. Office Depot is always looking for people to test and promote their new seasonal products, and best of all, whatever they send you is yours to keep. This is a tremendous opportunity for people who work in offices, schools, or any other environment that relies heavily on office supplies and who happen to have a decent social presence.

Breathe Right

Do you struggle to fall asleep because of your breathing? Are you keeping your spouse up by loudly snoring throughout the night? Then Breathe Right strips may be the solution you’re looking for. But before you commit to buying, it’s worth testing the product for no charge. Just visit the Breathe Right website and fill out their form — your complimentary strips will arrive at your doorstep in just one to two weeks.
