Welcome to SwagGrabber: Your Guide to Getting Stuff Free

Hi, I’m Sheri — owner of SwagGrabber.

As the owner of SwagGrabber, I’ve been testing, learning, and documenting ways to get real free stuff for close to two decades. Not just sample packets — I’m talking about things you actually use.

Things like free tools, free thermostats, free gardening supplies, free food, and more.

Little did I know when I started doing this that I was building a database – a database of how to get stuff free. Yes, there are thousands of articles with tips and tricks to get stuff for free and save a ton of money!

Here’s the Truth About Getting Free Stuff

Most people think “free stuff” means signing up for tiny samples or entering giveaways.

That’s NOT what we do here.

This is about getting real, useful, everyday items — without paying full price (or anything at all).

Once you start thinking this way, you’ll realize there are opportunities everywhere.

The Best Ways to Get Free Stuff

1. Store Programs (One of the Most Overlooked Ways)

This is one of my favorite tricks — and most people have no idea these exist.

Some stores will actually loan out tools, give away supplies, or offer free items through promotions.

Examples include:

👉 Browse current in-store freebies and events

2. Government & Energy Programs (BIG savings here)

This is where things get really interesting.

There are legit programs that offer free items like:

I’ve personally seen people get hundreds of dollars worth of items through these programs.

3. Contacting Companies Directly

This one works way more than people think.

All it takes is a simple message.
