Catherine W.

I am Catherine, mom to three grown sons (Jason, Michael & Joshua), one grandson (Christopher), and recently remarried to a wonderful man named Rob. We live in Southern Ontario, Canada. We also have a totally spoilt Bichon Frise named Buddy, who only weighs 12 lbs but keeps me safe from wild dogs all day long as he watches out the window - well, between naps that is!

I first discovered freebies & coupons as a young mum, and now that I have the entire internet to search - my new husband is amazed at how much free stuff I have got & how much we have saved! I started searching for free samples to help us cut costs, and before you know it, it had become a blog! I had found so many free samples, I just had to share them with my friends. I check out every free sample site, order whatever I can get shipped to Canada, and try to remember to post a picture when the samples arrive. No scams, no long surveys, just free stuff!

It's a lot harder to find good freebies in Canada though, I am amazed at how many US freebies I can find in comparison to Canadian freebies. I find I get more free product coupons here in Canada than I get free product samples in the mail. But the last four shopping trips totaled a savings of $170 with coupons - even though Canadian stores don't offer 2x, 3x coupons - so it is certainly worth searching them out!

In the recent past we went to the movies for free, ate at A&W for free and my husband got his morning coffee for free at McDonald's. Come join us on Frugal Freebies and enjoy the fun & frugal life of free stuff. And don't forget about the great giveaways!
