Send Your College Kid Some Samples

Written by Diana - January 9, 2009 3 Comments

If you are like me, your kid has just left back to college and the upheaval in the home has died down.  They come home and you walk a fine line between being the parent of a kid and speaking with an adult.  Sometimes before I’m going to discuss something with my daughter that she may not be thrilled with, I remind her I want to talk with the adult and not my daughter.  Just maybe that will temper it a little bit so I get a discussion instead of an argument.  However, when she goes back to college, I know the empty mailbox can be lonely.  If I find a sample online she might enjoy, just something to make it a little different from the regular dorm food, I send it to her college address.  She loves the little surprises.  Today I found some, and one site had a bunch to look at.   Surprise your college kid, send them some food.

I received this one through email – Free Cream of Wheat sample – http://cow.promotionassociates.net/

I shop at Kroger’s and look through their website for samples.  That’s where I found this one for new Orville Redenbacher.  We sent away for the Lime one when we found it online too. https://secure.startsampling.com/sm/100576/captureAddress.iphtml?item=100576&source=kroger

I was searching for samples and found this great place where they are all holed up.  http://cecilialyne.gather.com/sample I didn’t join Gather, I just followed her links to the samples.  Great links.

    Such a great idea! My nephew will head off to college in the fall and this will be great for him!

    Robyn, my daughter loves the little surprises. I don’t think college kids get the mail I got when I went away and my family sent me letters, so it’s nice to have something in your box.
