For fun: The $39 Experiment [View all]

Not sure if this has been posted but:

http://the39dollarexperiment.com/

A blogger mails 100 letters to various companies asking for free samples.

A chart details what he received ( $275 worth of products/coupons ) and his attempts to auction it all off.

Old blog, but I found his letters funny - like the ones to Quiznos and Subway.


Not sure if it would be worth the time, but something a frugal might try on a bored day.
