FREEBIES - Are They Worth it?

I have to question promoting every freebie offer on the world wide web
If a freebie isn't going to make my life simpler or better , is it worth getting?

Freebies are everywhere
There are about a trillion sites offering free stuff

I used to want to order freebies just to fill my mailbox
It used to make me feel less lonely ,in a weird type of way
My awakening came earlier this week , when a package addressed to my 10 year old daughter arrived --it was a free cookbook for Chron's Disease!
Once I stopped laughing , I realized that freebies are not all useful
I took a moment to reflect on my new blog
I thought - how cool would it be to find a blog that only offered me information I can actually use in my life?
I am prepared to be the sort of blog to my readers
While my blog may not be on the Top 10 Freebies list , hopefully it will serve its original purpose

I want to try and help my local neighbors and not so local neighbors save money on the most important items you need

What was the strangest , most frivolous freebie you received from online?
