    Default the samples

    I have been sending for the samples for fun. I have used the laundry soap samples when on vacation along with the coffee samples. I recently tried oil of olay night firming cream and you know what? My daughter actually commented on how I seemed to look younger the next day! I could be sold there. lol

    So here is the question, what do all of you do with these sample products?

    I take stuff on vacation like you do. (laundry detergent, shampoo etc.) I even have a rule that all food samples go directly into a special cupboard for road trip snacks (really cuts down on convenience store stops). I'm also working on a basket of spa-themed items to give my sister as a gift. I got the Neu Salt Scrub for hands today, and it will be a perfect addition for her basket.

    I've saved some for trips,but we haven't been on an overnight trip since 1999...unless you count the hospital stays with the 2 kids I've had since then lol

    sooooo some I give away to family/friends,some get stuck here and there and I have sent some to the troops overseas

    I like saving the baby samples and giving them to new moms. Our neighbors have a new grandbaby and I gave their DIL a ton of samples....you'd think I gave her a pot of gold

    I use some of them myself, take some on vacations and donate some to an organization I belong to. We make Christmas stockings and take Christmas gifts to the veterans in the local vet's hospital. They like little treats
