Freebies in midnight sales, summer sales, outlet closing sales, and seasonal sales are a mainstay already. But the challenge is to find these freebies in malls when there is no mall-wide sale.
Sometimes, strolling around the mall, you will come across agents promoting their products, demonstrating its purpose and how to use it. You can just pretend to listen, and wait for them to finish their demonstration, you'll never know what freebies await you after. Sometimes they even ask for a volunteer and after doing a demonstration with you, you walk away with a freebie! Cool? Sounds fair to me.
Most of the times also, if you're a regular customer already for a particular boutique or store, they give freebies during their anniversaries, or if you have reached a certain mark in buying their products regularly. So it pays to be aware, especially if you are the loyal customer type.
If you are lucky, you might even come across a grand opening of a store in the mall, simply walk in and you'll just be surprised to be handed a freebie as you exit (or even as you enter). Yup! I guess that would be the keyword here, when scouting for freebies: luck!
