SC Johnson freebies



I'm not a big fan of product websites that require memberships for you to avail of samples and coupons because you just never know how much mail (email and snail mail) you'll end up getting.  Plus, some people worry about security of information.  And to top it all off, sometimes the samples they send are too small (e.g. a sachet of face cream good for one application) to be worth the trouble.  

Having said all that, SC Johnson (parent company of Ziploc, Windex, Glade, Pledge, etc.) has such a website called Right @ Home and its samples might be worth the trouble of signing up.  I have not joined myself but I am tempted.  Their current promotion is a Ziploc Pack-and-Go Gift Pack, a full pack of Ziploc sandwich bags and Ziploc Fresh Shield Twist and Loc containers.  Who can't use free Ziploc bags and containers, right?  The catch?  They only have 10,000 gift packs available and they are available to CURRENT members only.  So, don't join if you're just hoping to get some Ziploc!  They also say that if you've received another gift pack from them within the past 180 days, you aren't eligible for the current one.  I guess that's why they can afford to give full-size samples.  Members only get the cool gifts packs twice a year at most.  Other times, there are various coupons available.  

Anyway, since their current freebie is useful, the thought is that their next one might be as well.  I'm still not sure it's worth the trouble though.
