Let me just say that when people over exaggerate, their credibility goes right out the window.
———-
The stuff you offer for "free" needs a participation requirement. That's not free. That's spending more on the requirement than the item is worth. And how many people who enter to win trips really win? No one here, that's for sure. Nothing is free. If it were, the sponsors would just give the item to me without me having to participate with sponsors. A real rip-off. ---------- "I have been receiving your emails for quite some time now. I have looked it over several different times, and I have to say that you need to rename this site. I have never ever came across anything that is free. I only see lists, and lists, and lists. Although I enjoy entering" contests, your site has left me a bit disappointed. Goodbye!!!

I hope that the site changes back or you return if you are gone..thanks , we miss you….

All the links in your newsletter go through them (aweber.com) so they are making money off your subscribers. You asked why I was unsubscribing and I told you. So you use that to send an asshole smart ass answer. Well fuck you! I will be posting your smart ass comments to freebie message boards. He is angry because all of the links say aweber.com in the newsletter, so therefore, he thinks aweber pays me, which I explained that they dont...its the other way around. I pay them to send newsletters. ---------- It isnt ''JUSTFREESTUFF'' Daily,,, when you have to pay for S/H or complete sponser offer's! So when you do start sending e-mails for truly free stuff then you can resume sending me your e-mails again! Just free stuff '' should be just that and nothing else! I really think that it is false advertisment to offer just free stuff then in the end ask for money or to make me complete sponcer offer's in order to get the free stuff! DONT YOU? ---------- Hi, James... I'm a homebound, disabled, individual with loads of time on my hands! I'm busy working on a new website which will indicate scam offers, sweepstakes, and the like (including the web sites which redirect you to them). You've just been added to my list (keep 'em coming to see how many disapproval stars your site will rate in the near future! Best regards, Mic Hudson ---------- Since you started all the "cute" videos in the blog the freebies have deteriorated. Trish and others offer better freebies now, where as you used to have excellent ones and usually had them first. Good bye JFS. BYE! And by the way, I just LOVE Trish. Shes one of my best buds on here. Go visit her site!!! ( http://www.momanddads.com ) ---------- And finally............ I posted a dancing walrus video. It was cute, whatever...and I posted that my 14 year old daughter didn't care for it. No big deal. Then I got this email.... In regards to : *** The Dancing Walrus *** AND...............................You daughter is how old??? Does she realize the time that the trainer put in to teach this walrus these moves? No offense, man, but Sounds like pops needs to sit down with his daughter & teach her the ways of the world. & while you're at it, tell her this: Yeah right, girlie, when you are a teenager, you'll look just like that walrus: making the moves, doing the same thing that the "leader" of your pack does. Teach her about the "pack" mentality the kids these days seem to thrive on, let alone peer pressure to conform to other's standards & doings. Those 8 kids in FL: all spoiled brats, their parents let them do what they wanted, when they wanted, from when they were little & on up, & have NO CLUE about reality & the real world. Must have not been taught a d*** thing. No funtioning gray matter in any of those 8 heads. They have No Clue about closed head injuries or permanent hearing loss. Back in the '70 when I was those kids' age, we never even dreamed of purposely luring a girl to a house to beat her up for trash talking another kid. I don't even want to think what the world is going to be like in 20-30 years, with people like this in the world, let alone Autism in so prevalent. My terminology: a dummy society. ---------- Ok, all done! So here's my point. Susie posted constructive ctiticism, which I have absolutely no problem with. After all, she was just making a comment on how she felt. But some of the ones above...wow! And that's all I have to say about that =)

Sorry that you have to deal with all that, I guess I never realized what a cutthroat business this was.I think a lot of these people hav way too much time on their hands and they should try running your website… Maybe yours, that way you can take a well deserved family vacaton. I DO REALIZE THIS IS A 50+ HOUR A WEEK JOB!!! I’m always amazed by your commitment and your humour. But those people who have nothing better to do than attack you personally, those who are not just offering constructive insight, are a SMALL percent of your subscribers. I am a fan
Thanks,
Mickie
Your Not The Sam Anymore=I like that one=see ya in canada :o)
All i have to say is=If It’s Free It’s For me And You Know Where I’ll Be=At Just Free Stuff Dot Com :o)
Hey James!!!!
You have the best free web site in the world!!!
Screw those people who are talking trash about you!!
You The Man :o)
Apparently they have taken an interest into your site and were loyal, just can’t figure what crawled up their rear. I have looked @ some of these other Freebie sites and they appear just as that “Just Links” no comments, nothing social at all. What the heck I like Useless Fact’s.
Some people really need to quit their lying.My mailman hates me for all the freebies i get at JFS,lol.And i don’t do the dummy offers but like i said before,James warns us if they’re a step or dummy offer and they do pay some bills for him.These people ned to realize you have a family to take care of and the freebies aren’t sitting in ur garage for u to send them.As for contest wins,well think of it like this,if there is 1 grand prize and many other prizes it’s kinda like a lottery,one winner for the big one.If they don’t like it leave and we’ll keep enjoying our freebies and contest wins,blog and useless facts.Thanks james for all u do for us,muah!
well if they whine about paying for stuff,shouldnt they avoid the participation required sites? duuh! and dave and linda really need a course in spelling!
Oh my gosh! I have to comment on those who dont get free things and say there is nothing free from your site. Well hmmm let’s see, I get (at this moment) 4 differnt magazines. Nope did not have to pay a cent for any of them. Oh but yes on one I did have to write my opinion about a product (50 words or less). I also get many freebies, I also have some sent to my mom who just loves little surprises in the mail;) So I dont understand some of these people, oh well what is the world if every one was happy every day!
Take care James…Keep up the good work:D
JAMES,
I LIKE YOUR SITE,I DONT KNOW WHERE PEOPLE ARE SAYING YOU HAVE TO PAY SHIPPING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT,ALL I EVER HAVE TO DO IS FILL OUT MY NAME AND ADRESS,AND I GET STUFF LIKE CRAZY.
i’ve been with you for years and have won several small contests and have gotten a ton of freebies.
keep up the good work and thanks
Where are these people coming from? I’ve been coming to Just Free Stuff since Jan. ‘08 and have received many free items that I did not pay a penny for. And most of it is really good stuff. Plus I won a trip but had to turn it down because I just had surgery and cannot walk.(the trip is the end of Aug.). I love this site!
Keep up the good work!

Hi James,
Just wanted to let you know
THESE HATERS SUCK!!!!!!!)All I have ever gotten are FREEBIES FREEBIES FREEBIES!!!!!!!!I guess some people you just can’t make happy. If it has a 2 step sign up CLICK THE X and Go on to something else.Simple as that. It isn’t like you weren’t told it was a 2 step anyway.I don’t like them either but you have to take the good with the bothersome sometimes to get the things you want.
As far as NOT winning any contests,I have WON prizes in 2 contests off your site.These people have to realize you have NO CONTROL over who WINS these contests you are just the MESSENGER.
THANKS for a GREAT SITE JAMES.
FOREVER A SUBSCRIBER!!!
Gloria
some people are just down right rude with no manners like mama gave us.
also people dont relize the hard work you put into your web site.
keep it real.
debbie666
Well as I’ve said before I LOVE your site, and I have received lots and lots of FREE stuff just the yesterday I received a really nice ash tray from Marlboro I have received the beach towel, also a nice sleeping bag, and so many samples from A to Z there are too many to name.
as far as having to register for some of them well DUUHH if you don’t give them you name and address how will they know where to send the item?
As far as you daughter not liking the video so what this is AMERICA folks she has a right to her own personal opinion if you don’t like this site then don’t open the news letter, I for one am glad I came across it and don’t plan to stop enjoying it as long as it is here.
Thanks James for all you do please keep up the good work.
Hey James, I run several blogs and websites and I get “nasty” comments from time to time as well. I’ve never felt the need to share them publicly however. Constructive criticism: Sharing nasty email is not in good form. http://jfsdaily.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif
James, I have subscribed to your email for several years and not only received MANY, MANY freebies, but also won several sweepstakes thanks to your contests page. I have also joined several survey sites referred to me by YOU which actually pay cash. Your site is hands down the best freebies site out there. If you post a “step-two” offer, you are honest about it and give us a warning when you post it. I believe you really care about your subscribers, and please keep up the good work. THANK YOU, JAMES!
Thanks for sharing-I hadn’t shaken my head in amazement yet this morning!
LMAO!!! Some people are just miserable and love to complain. Maybe they cant read when you state that its a 2 step or a small fee for shipping and handling.:q I have gotten numerous freebies from your site and i just love them. I think its the best. Keep up the Fantastic work James!!!
I have to say, if those are the worst of the worst, you are still doing just fine.
Not even one death threat in there. LOL!
To Norma Jean…bye bye now!
To Linda (rose) Dave…please find a free spelling & typing course…they are out there, you just have to look for them.
To the person with the potty mouth…I will be more than happy to send you a free bar of soap to wash your mouth out…do you actually EAT with that mouth?
To Mick Hudson…Misdirected anger. It’s not James fault that you are disabled. Maybe you have WAY too much time on your hands!
To Suzie…HUH?!?
James, if this is ALL the bad stuff you have to show for the time you invest in this newsletter…BRAVO!!! I love the newsletter, and have gotten SO much free stuff. Every day I check the mail, it’s just like Christmas. Oh, and contests, I have won a Shaw area rug from Shaw rugs, 15 Academy Award DVDs from Coca Cola, $153.81 worth of coupons from Proctor and Gamble for many of their products, too many Amazon gift cards, music downloads, and movie tickets to mention here (In fact, I have not had to pay for a movie in the last year). I have not had to buy deodorant or razors for over a year.
If it were not for your newsletter I would not have all of these things. I appreciate you and everything you do!
r u freaking serious lol those people are nuts I’ve been a suscriber for a while and won tons of stuff and received tons of samples the only thing I ever paid shipping for was the senseo coffee pod and it was well worth it also I haven;t had to buy deodorant of toothpaste for months. My kids love opening the mail when I get three stuff and if it’s food it;s there’s the have to check everything
maybe they were just having a bad day. Love the site will keep going!!!
I have not won anything either-hey should I be mad at you for that???:s
Anyways, there are jerks whereever and whatever you do in life-soooooooooo just laugh and be glad they are gone from the site. We don’t need them!!!;D
WOW CAN WE SAY RETARDED..IVE BEEN ENJOYING YOUR SITE FOR YEARS NOW YES THERE ARE SOME STEP 2 OFFERS BUT YOU ALWAYSSSSS!!! TELL PEOPLE THAT THEY ARE ..AND YES IVE NEVER WON ANYTHING BUT I CERTAINLY ENJOY MY FREE SAMPLES I GET BEATS THE HELL OUTTA ONLY GETTING BILLS IN THE MAIL..IF THEY DONT LIKE YOUR SITE HERES A NOVEL IDEA DONT LOOK AT IT..CAUSE THERE ARE PLENTY OF PPL THAT DO ENJOY IT…KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!
Call me confu~amused about the last e-mail from the ranter about teens. Wrong forum for that outburst.
How long have I been here now James? 6 weeksish I think. I’ve got great freebies that my family & friends can use, won $55.00 (not in hand yet tho)and chuckle reading the newsletter. This mornings useless fact about earwax was good stuff to know. Not sure how I’ll use it but it’s now stored for handy reference if needed.
My mailman doesn’t mind delivering twice to my house some days. As an added bonus he’s eye candy on my porch! http://jfsdaily.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/4.gif
Funny stuff! You can’t please everyone, I guess. I’ve gotten lots of free products in the mail that were well..free. I’ve also won prizes by entering contests that I clicked to from this site.
I always just assumed that the aweber just keeps track of how many times each link is clicked.
All I have to say is if these people want to unsubscribe from your site then let them. That’s just more freebies for those of us that appreciate you and all you do!
James, I have recieved endless free stuff from you, ya some required some work. But the bottomline it was free. I amaze my friends with all the stuff I get. So I say to them that dout you BOOYA!!!
james, im sure by now you realize there are people in this world who are just “haters”, or all around idiots!!! if some one goes to justfreestuff.com and cant find actuall freebies, well……..lets just say they are the latter.
its not rocket science. i get freebies almost every day, (just ask sam my mailman).
im sure you put LOTS of hard work into this. ive tried finding freebies on my own, and its lots of work. now i just leave it to you. your so much better at it than i am.
your site is very easy to navigate, and find what you want. summer is a slower time for freebies, but you still manage to find us plenty.
actually, im kinda greatful for the morons who cant find the freebies on your site, that means all that many more for us who have a half of brain or more.
keep it up buddy!!!!
vincette
YOU THE MAN JAMES
You know what? So what if some things require a small s&h fee? I’d rather pay the small fee than the full price. For instance, I paid $2.50 for a 12 oz. bottle of body lotion. I like having links to those.
I will give the posters the benefit of the fact that they have the right to post their opinions which is the American way. I may disagree with much of what they say. Which is my right.I have been receiving James newsletter for many many years and have gotten many many things. I have faithfully read each days newsletter. There are many days when I have found things that have caught my interest and other days I may not find too many things at all. Its just a matter of each indivduals interest. My solution is just to move on. Easy enough to do. I can well appreciate the time it must take James to compile all the information so he can put forth this letter. THIS is NOT easy enough to do. I feel too that he is very receptive to all for writing to him with ideas and even with criticism. Each may be a learning process for all. He has done some very good improvements since the time I first got his newsletter. It has grown a great deal. I am positive it will grow even more as he moves along. Good luck James. Thanks for inviting me along for the ride.
I am sorry if I have misspelled and/or typed some things wrong. It’s just that at times my brain and fingers on the keyboard are not in sync. Or maybe its just because I am tired and crazy. OOps. Fingers goofed again. Meant to say tired and LAZY.
WOW !!!!!
What is wrong with people????
Most people want something for nothing and even when they get the stuff, they complain.
James, you can’t please everyone.
It takes all kinds, doesn’t it? Many of your loyal readers have said it very well, and WE certainly appreciate all your hard work and effort. The heck with the whiners, if they don’t want to participate, that’s more chances to win for the rest of us!!! James, just know that there are a great many people who actually have a brain, and know the difference between freebies and 2 steps. I hate the 2 steps, but I can choose not to sign up for them because you took the time to let us know before hand about them. I’m rambling now, but some of those morons just iritate me so much……there should be a moron freebie site where they could all gather and complain to each other!
Love you in Texas,
Susan
Ok………….so Good-bye to all the grumpies. Why bother coming on here if all you intend to do is complain. Oh gee, have you not anything else to do then complain? Now my friend James,,,how about showing all(and I’m sure there are many) nice letters that you receive !
people need to get over themselves. I have a box of stuff I’ve gotten for free, I’ve never had to pay anything or had to visit sponsor pages. I love this site and I’m even getting my family into it. sorry for all the naive people you have to deal with, and thanks for a wonderful site.
hi, James…evidently those PISSED off subscribers havent been on your site long enuf to find the DAILY freebies i receive in my mailbox at least twice a week, usually more!!
I also have won a few things entering contesets. The biggest was the Hillshire Farms bag stuffed with their products, about 2 yrs ago- retail value-over $100.00!! also, little things from Pepsi, like hats, t’s…and lots other stuff!!
Let them go to the other so-called freebies sites & see what that gets them!! Love ya!!D
Hello James,
Don’t be too concerned about the negative side of
some people. Most need to just get a life. I
always look forward to your newsletters. If there is something I don’t want to try or do, I SCROLL ON DOWN. No biggy! Keep up the good work.
By the way, my damn goldfish wallet died. Time
the company came up with a new contest.
Live in Peace,

In regards to the last “adorable” email from “In regards to : *** The Dancing Walrus ***”
GEE WHIZ! I wonder where those kids in Florida learned hate, bad manners and just plain lack of class from? hmmmmmmmmm
And James? As far as Susie goes, you are taking the high road and I commend you for that. BUT constructive criticism does not include I DARE YOU TO POST MY MESSAGE
I dare you in any form is childish & an offhanded threat.
HEY! But l@@k at how many people LUV ya !!!!!!!!
hi ya james!! just wanted to let you know that you are loved by many, so just forget about those losers. The way I look at it, good riddence (SP?) With them gone, I will have a better chance of winning more contests —- lol. by the way, if it wouldn’t have been for you and your site, i wouldn’t have won my HP laptop last year, so thank you and keep it up my friend, along with many other items i have won and gotten free from you.
LOVE YOU!!
I am so excited about your site! The mailman is just amazed st how much stuff I get. Kepp up the great work!http://jfsdaily.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif
I’d like to add my thanks to you…if it wasn’t for your site, I would never have known about houseparty.com and been 1 chosen out of over 20000 people who applied to be hosting a party with a gallon of FREE fisher price toys. What did I have to do to “participate”? Fill out some info. My fingers hurt little, but I suppose I can forgive you…hahahahahaha!
I have been coming to your site for years and it IS the best. For all these people who complain..it only takes a little common sense to figure out which offers are 100% free. I get several magazines and always a free sample of something or another from one of the major companies. I have researched all those other sites and this is the best. I have turned my friends onto this site too.
“Never won anything” is what so many people say. Well, you have to be persistent. I just won a grand prize trip to Hawaii! I enter lots of contests all the time. You might win right away and then it might be a year or two. But you’ll eventually win a big one.
Boy, what a charming bunch of complainers you get to hear from, James. I’m glad you can laugh it off. I have researched the best freebie newsletters and sites and I’m still subscribed to yours because you’re that good.
Consider the sorce “To each their own said the old woman as she kissed the cow LMAO
JFS rules!!! I have been using your site for years now. Started out using several, but quickly learned who was the best; now yours is the only freebie site I use. I tell everyone I talk to about jfs. I have gotten SOOO much stuff over the years that I’ve had to share it with others. If people are smart enough to read your letter, they know which offers are 2 step. If they don’t want to read the blog no one is forcing them. I personally love hearing about your family. As for “constructive criticism: Sharing nasty email is not in good form” why not? We are all your friends and love you. So, why shouldn’t you share this stuff with us also. Your keep up the good work and know you are love and valued by your faithful friends!!
Those e-mails are hysterical!!! There are some sites that really do scam you, but, JFS is sooo not one of them!!! It is sad when you think of the time people put into making such negative criticisms. I kind of feel bad for the one who went off on todays youth. WTF!?! James, apparently, you have a very well-adjusted, typical American family, and I love that you shared your daughters opinion. I am more worried about people who flip out on nice guys for no apparent reason. Sheesh, good thing you have a sense of humor.
Keep up the GREAT work!!!
Just discovered your site – life is all that much brighter now!!. Have watched the Ennio Marchetto Theatre Trailer HD – GREAT, can’t wait to show it to a friend. Going to watch it again – please leave it on if possible. Greetings & all Best Wishes from wishingwell in England
There will always be peeps who have to grip about something…but to complain about James…way wrong.
He just a working dude like the rest of us…just does it better…lol
WE love you james and all the freebies.
Some of these peeps really need to learn to spell before they start complaining…cuz that gives us a chance to pick you apart….lol
High five to michelle…way to speak them words…lol
I get free stuff daily!!
magazines, soap, books, gadgets, candles, you
name it.
Yes…sometimes i have to pay a small fee…but it is well worth it.
Pay a small fee or go pay full price on something you prolly already use or wanted to try.
Huggggies, Cat
hey james,
ive been on your site for years!
let them rant and rave poor poor peeps!
not one thank you for your efforts!
i love your site and all the freebies, keep up the good work.
thank you
