Mr. Free Stuff is out to Save the Money in your Wallet

Free Stuff

Who says finding bargains and saving money can’t be fun? That is what Mr. Free Stuff asks. The cartoon character represents the newest online destination in the frugal living space.

Mr. Free Stuff is a site where visitors can find free samples and product freebies.

Inspired by 'The Incredibles,' Mr. Free Stuff is the first installment in a super hero family of characters that represent their own money saving web sites.

Mr. Free Stuff features offers for freebies in a variety of categories, from Audio & Music and Animals & Pets to Home & Office and Sports & Fitness. On a recent day, the home page showcased access to a free coupon for a Mars Candy Bar, a free quart of eggshell paint from Glidden, a free sample of Hugo Boss Element cologne and a free one-day invitation to shop at Sam’s Club.

All visitors have to do is click on the links to sign up for the free stuff.

Later this week we'll announce the launch of the second installment in this money-saving super hero family, Mr. Free Stuff's better half.

Kids are also encouraged to bring favorite photos, movies, and music to use in their projects.

The workshops are recommended for kids ages 8-12, and a signed Camp Permission Statement (PDF) and copy of their registration confirmation is required. Parents must accompany kids under the age of 13 for the entire workshop.
