I just got two from wal-mart. Secret Clinical and an Always pad with the wipe attached. It might sound strange but I like those samples cause I have two preteen daughters and you never know when the Big P is going to hit lol. Lets see I also recieved a make up one, not sure of the company at this moment. Oh and the Charmin roll extenders came this week too. My mail lady is going to be unhappy with me come the next few weeks lol.

How did you get the Almay Lipstick, :( I want one :)
In the past few weeks I have recieved three different kinds of tooth paste, sun silk (I got the purple color for straightning hair. It left my hair kind of greasy), dove energy glow, dove oil lotion (if you like baby oil but would prefer a better smell this would be nice), always pad, frizz ease, Downy, Foundation (there wasn't much in it but hey it is free), advil pm, ban (I love this deodrant, it smells nice), diaper from huggies (lol, daughter pooped right through it like half an hour after I put it on her), Secret deodrant (this worked well, like the ban brand better which is odd because I usually use Secret, I guess I will be changing), pledge wipe (haven't tried it yet been lazy).
I love these freebies!
Happy mother's day to all you mother's and expecting mother's.

3. Dove Deoderant (made underarms very smoth)
4. Ban Deoderant (nice scent, good protection)
5. Dove Shampoos (in dark blue bottle is awesome on curly frizzy hair)

7. Staph Infection Cream (have not used yet-thank goodness, smells very strong through packet)
8. Tide Detergent (nice sample, did one load of laundry-regular scent)

34. Oil of Olay Eye Pads (can't wait to use)
35. Aveeno Positively Ageless {not greasy, think I may buy]
36. John Frieda Hair Samples (my hair is thick, curly, and frizzy-unfortunately samples aren't usually enough to tame my mane)

I think I'm going to create my own personal spreadsheet to keep track of what samples come and which ones don't. I know right now I've not rec'd not one perfume sample and I've had some perfumes I've really wanted to try:(
LOL, Walmart I think is by far the best at sending out their samples :D

I also rec'd the Pledge Wipe (forgot to add that to my own post about samples I rec'd) but anyway I used it and was actually impressed! I wipe down my table with it and was horrified to see how dirty it was:o
Ummm. . .note to self I should probably by these and keep them on hand.

I like that we talk about the products and what we thought about them. I recieved noxzema yesterday. I have been writting down everything I ordered since I started ordering stuff like a month ago. Over half of the stuff hasn't arrived yet. I have only recieved one perfume sample out of five or six and it was from cologen I believe. I ordered another one today from Celine Dion. Oh, I recieved my energy glow from dove. It's for medium skin and I have fair. But I'm going to try it as soon as I shave my legs. Haha.

Yes mommyof2boyz please do share the gas card tip.
I received Dove CreamOil Body was in the cherry blossom scent. I have not used it yet but oh does it smell nice. I also got the Olay Definity anti aging stuff.
Dove and Olay have good samples of all the companies i have recieved from. They are good size and not those little foil packets.
I cant remember where I saw the post but someone said that they were disappointed in the sample or lack there of from STartSampling and maybe it was due to people taking hte samople and not filling out the surveys after you try it. Well i just wanted to say that I have alway fullfilled the requirements for the site doing the polls and surveys and the surveys after getting a sample and I have not had any new samples offered to me in almost a year. Not to mention the last 3 or 4 samples I did order from them never came. So I dont know what the deal is but I will keep checking back and I do love the forums. I have ordered and recieved more samples from the forums then any other time. How do you find them?

sound like a good sample day to me!! today I got the panties size 14 will be giving them to someone in the family. The effisoy which I really think my sis needs to try so i'm sending it on to her. That one came with an invoice showing it retailed for $29.95. A cookbook from campbells and the ironing dvd from rowenta. Thought the neighbor who brags about her iron might like this.
Anytime I order something I know I'm not gonna use I always justify it by saying well someone in the family could use it.They would love a free sample.

Ban is HORRIBLE for white marks. I use it simply because when I walk into the deodorant/razor/feminine protection aisle, my main aim is to GET WHAT I NEED AND GET OUT. :P I just grab Ban each time. But now, when I start getting the samples I've ordered, I hope to find a better one. :)
