Mom & Daughter PinchMe Boxes - Our Free Samples

Hello,

I signed up for PinchMe.com which is a fun website where you are able to log in for Sample Tuesday each month for the chance to receive some free samples to test and review on the PinchMe site. They have been building out the site recently to include surveys and other opportunities to contribute to the community but their main focus is still the monthly sample boxes with a variety of awesome goodies to test and review. You start by signing up and completing your profile so that they are able to match you with the offers that are best for you. Then on Sample Tuesday at the right time, log in and see if there are any samples available for you to add to your box, then checkout and wait for the goodies to arrive. This is completely free, you do not pay shipping or anything, I don’t even think there is a place to input payment information. After you receive products from PinchMe, they will have survey questions on their website for you to fill out but they don’t seem to be available long so make sure to complete them quickly. I have messed up and let a bunch of the survey questions expire by accident, I think this hurt my chances of receiving a box for a couple of months but it seems to be giving me samples again for the last few months so I will be sure to do the surveys this time.

My mom and I had each received a number of PinchMe boxes that we intended to open and review together but time kept slipping away from us and finally I figured I had better open these myself.  We are pretty excited to have received all of these great items to try out and we both have a couple of extra boxes that have been ordered that will be arriving in the next few weeks.  From these boxes out whole family was able to enjoy something new and I think especially our pets found a few new favorite items.
Here are the items that we each received in our boxes, I broke them down by what was in each box.



Alteril - All Natural Sleep Aidhttps://www.alteril.com/

My mom used the coupons that we received for the hair dye and she liked it well enough.  She needed both coupons because she has very long thick hair so she always needs two boxes of dye to get full coverage. She picked a brownish/reddish color and it came out looking great and didn't look splotchy.  It really depends on what look you are going for with hair dye because this one was great for an all over natural look but not so much for a bold color change.  The color looked nice both in the house and in the sun but unfortunately it faded quicker than she would have liked for it to.  She typically uses other permanent dyes from Sally Beauty and is used to longer lasting color so I don't think she will continue to purchase this in the future but it was great for the short term.  
Fructis Hair Masks https://www.garnierusa.com/about-our-brands/fructis/1-minute-hair-mask
My mom said: The hair mask worked like a more concentrated conditioner, my hair was pretty soft all day even without using the leave in conditioner I usually use. I would buy this product.
Garnier Whole Blends Gentle Shampoo & Conditioner Oat Delicacyhttps://www.garnierusa.com/about-our-brands/whole-blends/gentle-oat-delicacy
My Mom Said: The shampoo and conditioner was not as good as I expected. You would have to shampoo your hair twice to get a good lather. The conditioner didn’t seem to really condition my hair like I would like for it to.

Hallmark Just Because Greeting Cards -  https://www.hallmark.com/shop-just-because/
These cards are super fun to send for absolutely no reason but to say hello to someone you care about. These days with the ease of social media we connect constantly yet the human touch gets lost in the mix and there's nothing quite like receiving a hand written card.  It's just one of those things that has become so much more special as it seems to be fading away.  I will be sending one of these to a Great Uncle who lives out of state.

Pedigree Pouch Wet Dog Food - https://www.pedigree.com/dog-foods/wet
Our dog absolutely loved these.. but then again, what dog wouldn't go crazy for some delicious wet food in gravy.  Our dog typically eats just dry food, we occasionally give him wet food but not on a regular basis so he really loved this.  Having some dry food around the house is great to spruce up his meal a bit every now and then.  I love these new soft packages because they are so much easier to store and I honestly like the smaller amount that way I don't have to try to save the food in the can for later.  I also like that you can just squeeze the sauce out of the package as oppose to having to scrape it out of the can so that was helpful because I really don't like to touch the food myself.  I will absolutely be purchasing these for my dog in the future and just to keep at home for him for when he needs a special treat. 
My cats absolutely loved their Purely Fancy Feast Filets.  They were both crying at me as I was trying to open the package and tear apart the filet for them.  I used a couple of forks and shredded the chicken filet in a similar way that I shred beef or pork for sandwiches at home for the family. This filet seemed to be a very good quality, to be honest it looked better than chicken that I have received in restaurants before so I felt comfortable feeding it to my cats and was sure that they would love it. They ate up the chicken and appeared to love it but it seemed like a lot of chicken for even two cats and I felt that they were letting quite a bit go to waste.  I think this could have been used for multiple occasions had I saved some of it to begin with.  If I were to purchase these in the future I would now know not to give them the whole thing at one time.

Skittles Sweet Heat Candies - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXAoq-qDu6Y
My husband tried these and said that they were ok, we had received two sample packets and one of them is still lingering around the house because no one else has picked it up....apparently they weren't to die for.  I think they were a fun novelty product but I don't think they will stand the test of time.  We would rather have a package of regular flavored skittles any day. 

SlimFast SlimCafé Coffee & Protein Beverage - https://slimfast.com/product_cat/slimcafe-coffee-drinks/
SlimFast Boosters Craving Control Gummies  - https://slimfastboosters.com/products/craving-control-gummies
SlimFast Bake Shop - https://slimfast.com/product_cat/bake-shop-cookies/
My Mom Said: The slim fast bar was very good and satisfying. I don’t like bars that are very dense but these are easy to eat and very tasty. They are great if you have a sweets craving but want to stay healthy.

Tidy Cats Free & Clear Unscented Litter - https://www.tidycats.com/free-and-clean-cat-litter
Unfortunately for this one, I forgot about the coupon and I let it expire before I was able to pick up the cat litter but Tidy Cats is my preferred litter for my cats as it absorbs the best in my opinion and it helps to reduce the stinky smell.  I was really upset about forgetting this coupon as I can always use extra cat litter but I now that I know about this Free & Clear littler I will definitely have to check it out the next time I am shopping for pet products.  My only concern is that often it is the chemicals that help with the scent and absorption so I would hope that this litter would perform as well as the other Tidy Cats litters I have purchased before.
