Recently, I started wondering, is it really worth my time? The answer I found for myself is, most times it is not worth it. There are some exceptions. Below is a list that I will be following when requesting samples online.
- Are you ever going to buy the product?
- Is the product a brand name?
- Does the sample include money saving coupons that you could use for couponing?
- Do they sell the sample you're receiving in your area?
- Are you neglecting your duties in the home or at work to order the samples?
- What could you be doing with your time if you stopped sampling?
- Do you plan to write a review of the product?
- Is the sample something my readers would request for themselves or it just a sample available?
- Do you want to wait the 4-6 weeks that most samples take to arrive?
- Do you plan to start a new email address so that you can send all of the newsletters you subscribe to for the sample so your main email does not become overwhelming with Spam?
For me, a lot of the list above is simply not worth my time spent on ordering the samples.
I would love to read your opinions on this subject. Please comment and let me know your thoughts and any suggestions you may have.
Blessings,

To achieve an old-fashioned look, purchase an extra pie crust or two at the supermarket, then cut the dough into very thin strips, slightly longer than the width of your jar’s mouth. Lay 3 strips vertically and 3 strips horizontally, then interweave them, pressing the edges into the inner rim of the jar. Brush with a beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
