Since the  economic crisis many families no longer know how to get through the month. Fortunately, there is still internet. After all, the net is full of sites where you can request free stuff, free articles and all kinds of discounts. And there is plenty of choice:from household to gadget, for young and old. But also tips to furnish your house for free, to collect free items for personal hygiene and care, etc. In short:read on quickly and discover tips to save money and get free items.

Tips to save money

Unfortunately, you can't save on everything, but you can on your daily shopping and many other things. Follow my tips to save money and your wallet will thank you. To start with, it is useful to go through the folders every week. You can then make your weekly menu based on the offers.

You can also save a lot of money at Pepper.com by taking advantage of online offers. These are very different and often it concerns errors that are found on websites. There are people who look for these errors and post them directly on the website. You can take advantage of the offers by responding quickly. Doesn't always work, but often does. Ideal to save money.

Want to save even more money? Then take a look at discountisleuk.nl. Here you will also find free stuff and a lot of discounts on all kinds of products, subscriptions and much more. If you want a discount on food and at the same time want to contribute to combating food waste, the Too good too go app is highly recommended. I also use the app and am very satisfied with it.

Finally, one last tip to cut costs
Sign up as a mystery shopper:with this you earn money and you can, for example, fill up for free, do free shopping and go out for free at the client's expense. It is free and also yields something, in return one only expects a completed survey list in which the shop, gas station, restaurant and the like are assessed. I myself am a member of a number of websites and have been able to do quite a few assignments. In return I received money, clothes, products and even a new haircut.

Cashback on products

This tip save money and free stuff should not be missed. There is nothing more fun than receiving free products or rather:buying them and then getting the amount back. Cashback products are often A-brands that you buy and in the end only cost you a little effort. A site that responds to this by collecting all cashback promotions is scoupy.com.

Request free stuff

Do you like to request stuff for free? Then take a look at gratiz.nl. You can request all kinds of free samples on this website. This varies from a bracelet to a free course or a bag of dog or cat food. There is a lot of turnover and in many cases a maximum number of applications applies. So it certainly pays to scour the website once a week.

Free stuff for decorating the house and children

If you are still looking for free items to furnish your home, take a look at gratisaftehalen.nl or gratisoptehalen.nl. There are plenty of people who, for whatever reason, want to get rid of certain furniture, toys, clothes, etc. Or make it even easier on yourself and browse local Facebook groups. Type in the search bar the words:free, free to pick up, junk corner or giveaway corner plus the city name. Bet there are enough providers in your area?

So why not grab the chance and pick up the free stuff on offer? If it is not for your own use, you can also consider collecting the items and resell them. Maybe pimp it up a bit and with that money you can then buy something that you need yourself. Or instead of selling you can also trade with someone else. This way, several people have been helped.

Free personal care products

Although I cannot say with 100% certainty whether this possibility still exists, I do suspect that it still is possible. As a teenager I often went to the different drugstores with my girlfriend and we asked for samples.

Not everyone was equally generous, but sometimes we got a lot of packages. Then we could enjoy delicious shampoo (sometimes enough for 2 washes), shower gel, body lotion, fragrances, etc. Perhaps an idea for the young girls, although I think adults can also use this.

Free baby boxes and baby stuff for pregnant women and mothers

Is there a baby on the way or are you just a mother? Then you can also request all kinds of free baby boxes and products. The content varies and there are many providers. You can already request many boxes during pregnancy. Ideal if, for example, you are becoming a mother for the first time.

Participate in contests for free

Of course, when entering contests there is no guarantee that you will actually get something, but it is always worth a try. There are plenty of sites where the answers are immediately listed, so then it is only a matter of filling in data or sending an email and then hoping and waiting to see if one is one of the lucky ones. I personally find a handy and well-arranged site:competitionsgala.nl. Of course there are many more sites with contests.

Incidentally, the contests are sometimes also very clearly laid out:these are listed separately for children, which is nice when the children have nothing to do. It will keep them busy for a while and who knows, they may also win something nice with it (which they have in fact earned themselves).

Extra tip  for hto request free stuff and participate in contests

Create a separate e-mail account for this, because you usually receive advertising e-mails from those companies, but with a separate e-mail address this is no problem, all unwanted advertising is neatly in one place and can be thrown away at any time.
