Got an Email Address? These 93+ Companies Will Give You Free Stuff

Who doesn’t love free stuff?

The age of Internet advertising means freebies are all around you, from food to beauty supply samples to boat trips (yes, seriously).

Marketers want to get their names and products in your inbox. And they’re often willing to give away a little something-something in return for that precious email address of yours.

So we raked the Internet to find some of the best freebies you can get by signing up for companies’ newsletters.

Pssst — can’t stand the inbox bloat?

You can still take advantage of many of these freebies: Just sign up, grab the coupon offer inside and unsubscribe from future advertisements.
