    I have all mine in a big shoe box... I save them for vacations and stuff... I'm trying to make a big collection for my b/f to give to him for when he goes on vacation this winter . I use about a small 5% right away, and a good 90% get used.

    That's the beauty ones though. Food I use as soon as possible, and drugs get put in my purse for emergency headach relief etc...

    I have two baskets full. My husband goes out of town a lot for work, so I pack his suitcase full of the things like shampoo/conditioner, bath soap and stuff. I also use it if I run of toiletries in the bathroom and am too lazy to go the store. lol....I only send away for stuff that I would use or stuff to give to my parents, and the kid stuff for my neice and nephew. In the end I would say all of it is used. Some of the items I use to add an extra to gifts.

    I use most of what I order. The shampoo/conditioner samples are in a container in my bathroom and go unused because I have really long hair and they just don't supply a large enough sample. I still hang onto them though :P

    I use alot of mine and what I don't use I make gift baskets up like at christmas and birthday's people love them they get alot of different things so I do sign up for things that I know I wont use to put in these baskets they are really good to take to nursing homes.
    I speak my mind because it hurts to bite my tongue!

    Hmmmm

    I use about 70% of mine, either myself or dh or family. The rest I put in gift baskets, give to friends, or auction in boxes
    On Monday there were people trying to separate each other by race,sex,color and creed
    On Tuesday they were all holding hands
    On Monday we were men or women, black or white, old or young, rich or poor, gay or straight, Christian or non-Christian.
    On Tuesday we were Americans

    About 90% of my samples get used. I order for our kids and grandkids all the time at their address"s. I especially like the medicine samples cuz that's how I keep my "magic medicine basket" filled for family and friends

    Thumbs up samples/freebies

    I only order samples or freebies that i can use. There are a ton of samples/freebies that have been posted, but i have no use for, and i dont want to waste the companies time or money. so i use pretty close to 99% of the the ones that i get/order.

    I don't sign up for anything I'm not actually interested in, but I still only use about 90% of them. The free gifts that don't tell you what you're getting are often things I don't want/need... but I always find SOMEONE to give them to. So actually, I guess technically 100% are used.
