Ever wonder it it’s worth it to order so many samples?

Last July I threw every sample I received in a box until the end of the month because I wanted to see how many I got and if it was even worth it for me to spend my time ordering them.

It took a larger box than I thought because as you can see from the photo above my mailman is a very busy guy!

I order samples for the coupons they may contain and not for the actual product sample itself. For the most part I don’t even keep my samples but instead give them to people who may want them and get some use out of them. (I’ve even sold them for $.05 a piece on a garage sale!)

Anyways, here is the list of what coupons came inside the samples I received that month…

Needless to say, I find ordering samples completely worth it. I was able to save a large amount of money just by spending a small amount of time typing in my address.

Also, many of those coupons had expiration dates well over a year out so I was able to wait for the perfect sale to redeem my coupon on to maximize my savings.
