It all adds up, which is probably why everyone (us here at The Money Manual included) goes so gaga for free stuff. Our go-to list for the best for freebies includes the usual suspects like Whole Foods, but did you know that there is actually a ton of great free stuff available on Amazon? Yup, you heard that right, and we’ve rounded up all our favorites.

1. Watch Movies and TV Shows For Free On Prime Video

2. Free Groceries Delivery With Amazon Fresh

Why drag yourself to the grocery store, when you can get all of your favorite groceries delivered for free. Beyond getting the groceries delivered for free you can get $25 off your first order using the code Fresh25. Amazon is basically paying you to do your grocery shopping. All you have to do is sign-up to Amazon Fresh for free. Another one of our favorite ways to get great deals on groceries is by downloading Ibotta! With the app simply shop as you normally would, take a picture of your receipt and they’ll credit you for any eligible purchases. Some of the best deals I’ve seen are getting paid 75 cents to buy milk, $5 for beer and $1 for pasta, pretty sweet, right? To help you get started, Ibotta is offering a massive $10 bonus for new users!

3. Get a Free Baby Sample Box

Complete a Baby Registry on Amazon and make over $10 of purchases from the registry (or have gifters do it) and Amazon will surprise you with a box chock full of a selection of gifts for both baby and parents. Did we mention the baby box is entirely free? Start a free Amazon baby registry and you’ll be well on your way to a free baby registry welcome box. Another one of our favorite ways for parents to get freebies is by joining the EverydayFamily community which provides resources for parents from preconception to preschool and beyond. The best part? They send members of their community free stuff! Sign-up for free, and get access to free baby samples, baby coupons, baby magazines and more!

6. Get Free Kindle eBooks Every Month

Amazon has the amazing perk of letting people borrow one new book on their Kindle every month for free out of the huge number of books in the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library. This library consists of bestsellers, too, so now you can finally get caught up on the hot books people can’t stop talking about.

7. Get Prime Pantry For Free Shipping On Your Every Day Essentials

Think things like toiletries, cleaning supplies, snacks, drinks and so much more. Sign-up for a free 30-day trial and you’ll even get $10 off your first order when you use the code PANTRY at checkout.

11. Get Free Stuff Just For Reviewing Products

Amazon has a program called Amazon Vine that allows people to obtain a huge number of items in order to write honest reviews. In order to participate in the program, you have to be invited, which is the only downside we can see. So start engaging more on Amazon and writing non-biased reviews for the things you are already buying, and the e-commerce giant might just notice and invite you to join the program.
