Request a Review/Sponsor a Giveaway

Frugal Freebies is public relations friendly and we are always open to new suggestions about products or services to review or to giveaway. Send us your pitch with as much information as possible to help us in making a decision. Big or small, we will review them all!

Product Reviews
We love to test out and review great products and to share them with our Frugal Freebies readers. Products submitted for review cannot be returned (except very expensive items). All reviews are done free of charge, we do not accept compensation for product reviews.

We are located in Ontario, Canada. Here are some of the types of items we are happy to review:

⇒ Books, including e-books
⇒ Clothing and shoes
⇒ Electronic equipment (cameras, video cameras, recording equipment, etc.)
⇒ Food
⇒ Home appliances
⇒ Hotels
⇒ Kitchen equipment
⇒ Office supplies and equipment
⇒ Programs and services
⇒ Vacation destinations and resorts
⇒ Golfing equipment and courses
⇒ Vehicles, airline travel
⇒ Websites, computer software, game consoles and video games (geared for ages 10 to adult)
⇒ Women, men or teen products
⇒ Other general products and services

If you would like to offer our readers a discount or coupon please include details with your submission.

Please keep in mind that it may take a week to 30 days or even longer for a post about your product to appear. This time span is based on the backlog of products received for testing and how long it takes to adequately test the efficacy of your product. Please note that sending a product for review does not assure a posting on said product.
