I knock at least 10 years off my age every time! LOL

About the shampoo samples -- Does anyone else have a devil of a time getting the dang things open?

Maybe I need to knock another 10 years off my age ...

One thing I've noticed....Not only do your chances of getting freebies depend on where you live (because certain suppliers want to target certain areas) but it also seems to depend on your age bracket. When I was putting down my true birth year, I wasnt getting many freebies. Now that I'm putting down my daughters birth year, I'm getting more freebies. I understand that suppliers may want to target certain age groups, but I buy a LOT of stuff, especially online, and, while I feel a little bad about being dishonest regarding my age, I dont feel all that bad about it.
If you are between 24-34 and have kids, you DO get more stuff. This is REALLY true if you do surveys for product trials or money. There isn't much money in it these days, but 7-10 years ago, I used to make around $250 a month and LOTS of product testing every month. I considered my info as being my 'online profile'...............

I use a pair of nail scissors and cut off the corner. This comes from years of immediately pouring them into these plastic travel size containers I kept in the bathroom. Regardless of the name brand, I would pour all the shampoo I got in one bottle, conditioner in another and then one for lotion.

What a good idea! I have to cut the samples open with scissors too. Once I get in the shower and my hands are wet, I cant open them at all.

I used to get enough to keep my plastic bottle full. NOW when it gets low, I add in some cheap Suave shampoo and shake it till it's mixed up with the more expensive stuff. How's that for being cheap?

I really think there is only SO MUCH they can put in a shampoo. If there IS any real difference, it's only a few drops of this or that.

EVERYTHING reminds you of those frozen drinks. Good thing you and crazyworld live on separate coastlines or we would have a couple of boozer buddies on our hands.

SCRUBBING BUBBLES Surprise Pack - has a full size of Fantastik Lemon Power and Fantastik Oxy Power .....plus a cute little round brush that looks like the one on their commercials. I'm not sure if this was a Freebie or if it came from one of the IWG Games. I'll have to go check my freebie email.............

I also shampoo samples from Garnier.

Hey....clean tub.....clean hair........
