Load up on hygiene/beauty samples

You can find samples for some of the things you use every day like hand moisturizer, conditioner, body lotion, sunscreen, and face wash at just about every beauty supplies store and department store. The sales associates working the counters are encouraged to give out these samples. They often offer them to shoppers who ignore them and pass them by, leaving their bosses asking, “Why haven’t you handed out more samples?” Help them out. Load up on several. Ask, “Can I take a few extra for my friend? She’d love this stuff.” Secretly, you are the friend. And you just got enough high-end face sunscreen to last you two weeks that would have typically cost $14.
