THIS self-confessed freebie-addicted mum has managed to save over £7,000 in two years after bagging a selection of free goods.
Mum-of-two, Maria Sillaste, from Liverpool, has been hunting for freebies since 2020 and has bagged herself a selection of amazing items including food, drink, skincare, and even household appliances.
Since the 33-year-old set off on her quest for freebies, she has saved over £7,000 on items in the process.
Maria says that her freebie addiction began when she saw a social media post about free perfume and began searching for more to see what else she could find.
She added: "One of the best freebies I have had so far is a Tefal blender which should have cost £150.
"And the freebies that are the most beneficial to me are free shopping vouchers.

"I can stock up on many essential items for me, my husband, Gunnar, 33, and our two kids, Gustav, three, and newborn Galifa.
"I started to get addicted to freebie hunting when I saw a post on social media about getting free perfume. I started searching for more, and then more and more things started appearing on my feeds.
"I am always so surprised at how much I can get. I've had free snacks, drinks, skincare, free sample of perfumes, items from big brands, household appliances, full-size nappies, wipes and vouchers to spend.
"My very first freebie was from Ella's kitchen. I received a weaning guide with stickers and vouchers. It was great for my son.
"I then began searching for what the freebies of the day are, so since then it has become a habit to look for freebies every day when I wake up.
"Freebie hunting is part of our life now. My family loves it because we are able to experience a product for free together.

"My husband is very supportive of what I do. We unbox the parcel together and he is just as excited as I am to see what's been delivered.
"The exciting part is that you sign up for a lot of freebies but you won't know what is getting delivered first.
"To find these amazing freebies I follow big brands on social media so if they have a giveaway or free samples, I will see that on my newsfeed.
"It's also helpful that I do lots of searches for freebies on my own social media pages as that signals my interest in finding freebies.
"This addiction is all positive because I can guide newbies on how to get their freebies too, plus I love to share what I get each day.
"It's been amazing."
