We frugalistas work hard to get freebies and samples! Samples are a huge help in offsetting your grocery bill if they get used. Sometimes they get shoved in drawers and lost underneath other things, they end up in baskets, containers, and all other fashion of out-of-sight places. How can you make sure that your samples get used?
Solution: Make samples accessible by putting them in a convenient location where they will be used! Shampoos, conditioners, and body washes go in the shower; toothpastes go with toothbrushes, etc. If samples are available for use WHERE they will be used, they’ll be visible and ready for your family to grab.

I’ve used three Ziploc Twist & Seal containers without lids. Any container will work as long as it fits on your shower shelf. Each is labeled accordingly and filled up with samples: shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. (To keep the labels waterproof, use masking tape on the inside of the container and write on the adhesive side.)
I also removed most of the full-size products from the shower so that the samples will be used first!

That’s a great idea! Mostly I use them as basket fillers for Birthday and Christmas gifts, but I love your idea.
I have tons and tons of samples.. I love grabbing all the shampoos, sewing kits, shoe polishing kits, nail files, soaps, ect lol at the hotels.. I have tubs overflowing.. I think my husband gets a little embarrassed lol I guess I should probably use them LOL thanks for the tip.
Great idea! I have a tendency to put them up. I’m going to start using this idea. I also like the idea of putting up the regular size items so the samples will be sure to be used!
Love it!
Why didn’t I think of this? Great idea.
