Use your cell phone to get freebies
Freebies have gone mobile.
There is a new age of freebies I am trying out now via a Web site called ShopText. For those who are behind the times (like me) ShopText is a cell phone texting service that allows you to receive free samples and coupons via text messages. You can even make purchases directly from your phone if you enter in a credit card.
This is how it works: visit ShopText here and click on the top link where you can log in and click register. Put in your cell phone number, wait for the confirmation text to come in, type that into the Web site and create a password. It then loads up your name and address for confirmation. After that, you can enter in a credit card for shopping. Now, I do not plan to be making purchases via phone, so I just skipped the part where you put in your credit card.
That’s it! Now you are registered. Save the number that sent the confirmation code, 467467, into your phone and use this to text for any freebies. Remember that standard text messaging rates apply, so if you are a person who has a low limit of texting on your plan you may want to up it as in my experience it takes at least two text messages per freebie request.
The Web site does not tell you what freebies are up for grabs, you have to find them yourself. Thanks to Andrea over at Mommysnacks, she has rounded up a couple available now. I would use a web search to find these offers.
- Here are some ShopText freebies you can claim today:
- Betty Crocker Recipe Booklet and Coupons: Text the word BETTY
- Always Infinity Pads: Text the word ALWAYS
- Holiday Recipe Booklet from Unilver: Text the word COOKING
- Folgers Gourmet Coffee Sample: Text the word COFFEE
- Nestle Morsels: Text the word NESTLE
- 7-Up 2-Liter or Canada Dryer 2-Liter: Text the word FREE7UP
Now, those last three are for Food Lion, but the texts said they would mail them so we will have to see if these are samples or coupons. If it is coupons, hopefully they are manufacturer coupons and therefore can be used at any store. All the other codes I found online are expired so these appear to be the only ones still up for grabs so get them while you can!
