There’s no need for couponing, birthday freebies, or pesky survey sites to get the free stuff you deserve. Put that credit card away and check out our tips on how to get free stuff on Amazon to help you on your frugal journey. What you do with all that extra money you save is none of our business, though.

What is Amazon Vine?

Have you ever heard of Amazon Vine? The Vine program that gives consumers free stuff as a reward for an honest review of the products. These products are often things that haven’t been released yet that need a bit of consumer backing to get started. Amazon Vine is by invitation only, however. You can get noticed by getting a reputation as someone who writes honest and fair in-depth product  reviews.
Here are some tips on increasing your Amazon rankings to become a vine reviewer, or just click on the button below for more info about Vine. Getting free stuff online could just be a few reviews away.

The Amazon sample box program is something you’ve probably never heard of. If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you can purchase select sample boxes and get reimbursed with Amazon credits of equal value, similar to digital gift cards. If you’re already an Amazon shopper, you might as well get a free box while you’re at it, right? These boxes have everything from free food, new products, product samples, and many other goodies.
This offer has a limit of one of each box per customer, but the are continuously updated year-round with new free boxes.

Free Kindle eBooks

If you’re an avid reader on a budget, finding something new to read can be difficult. Luckily, Amazon has a variety of free Kindle ebooks available online. This list is populated with new freebies every day, so be sure to regularly check to see what’s new. You can also take a look positive reviews from an Amazon customer or two to gauge whether or not a book is worth your time. That’s not something you’ll find at Barnes and Noble. If you don’t already have a Kindle, you can wait until Black Friday to take advantage of the best discounts.
While some ebooks may be permanently free, many are just for a limited time, from new up-and-coming authors. You can always exchange one free book for another if you don’t like what you’re reading, that’s the beauty of free.

If you love music but hate paying for it, these free things called digital albums are what the kids are into these days. You can find anything from the Foo Fighters to the jaunty twangs ofbluegrass music, all completely free. Just make sure you check those amazon reviews so you don’t end up assaulting your ears with something terrible.
To find out what Amazon has to offer in terms of free music, just sort by list price by selecting “low to high” or click the button below. This little trick is what I like to call one of those “Amazon Hacks”, but really it’s just pressing a button and stuff.
