Saving with 6abc: Freebie websites

We all love a good freebie, and now finding the best freebies is easier than ever.

The folks at Consumer Reports ShopSmart have checked out a number of freebie websites and put together this list of the very best ones.

FreeFlys.com wins the number one spot.

ShopSmart says it's best for personal care items, and here's your insider tip: Sign up for text alerts and be among the first to hear about new offers. Just text "follow FreeflysAlerts" to 40404.

Last December FreeFlys gave away Macy's gift cards and Michael Kors wristlets!

Also check out HeyItsFree.net. ShopSmart says it's best for up to date freebies since the website does a great job of marking expired offers.

The insider tip for this one? Click "Birthday Freebies" for an extensive, frequently updated list.

ShopSmart says Hunt4Freebies.com is best for coupons.

The insider tip is to follow @hunt4freebies on Twitter for the very latest offers.

If you're craving free beauty products, ShopSmart recommends ICraveFreebies.com, and advises following the site's Pinterest boards to see and share your favorite offers.

Finally, Check out PinchMe.com. Just choose a product from one of its leading brands and PinchMe will deliver it to you for free.

And one warning: You do have to sign up and provide an email for some of these free websites.

I recommend you set up a separate email account just for this kind of thing and online shopping. That way your regular inbox doesn't get flooded with junk and annoying offers.
