How much free stuff can you get for $39?

Monday April 3, 2006
Tom Locke is an average guy who had a roll of 100 stamps and decided to take a risk and see what he could get if he sent letters to 100 consumer product companies begging ... I mean asking for free stuff. He actually got things from 31 of the companies with a total value of over $200. Read all about his $39 Experiment.

That it a pretty good little experiment. I might just try that myself on a smaller scale. I’ll call it the $3.90 experiment!

That was a very fun and interesting piece Lee, I really enjoyed it! I think it’s pretty revealing of how companies treat their customers and there were quite a few surprises there too!
