A question about : Try Me Free Hunt
Introduction by Martin
This thread is all about products which let you try me for free. A huge amount of work goes into it by a range of volunteers, led and collated by Dormouse. Thanks to all for all the hard work. Enough from me... onto Dormouse for the real info.

What is a try me free product?
The products listed on this thread have short lived a Try Me Free (TMF) or Money Back Guarantee promotion, meaning you pay for the product but later receive the money back (usually as a cheque, Postal Orders or cash). Sometimes you get postage paid for as well.
It is essential that you buy the product and send off your claim before the closing date. TMF products usually have a bright flash on the packaging, something along the lines of Try me free (very imaginative 
). Sometimes you'll see them on the shelf with TMF-less products and you have to make sure you pick up the flashed product in order to enter.
Read The Terms and Condition PROPERLY!!
Each TMF promotion has its own terms & conditions, which are always printed on the packaging (in annoyingly small print). Follow it to a letter - they are usually very strict!
You almost always have to send them the original receipt, and very often a brief statement of what you liked/disliked about the product.
TMFs are always (or maybe 99.999999% - anyone remember the cheese one a couple of years ago?) one per household, so you can only get money back for one product. If you've another address (parents, in-laws, friends, even work maybe) you can often legitimately buy more than one, just buy them separately and with separate receipts (and make sure no-one at the other address is a compulsive TMFer too 
).
Sometimes, companies think of completely bizarre things to ask... you might have to cut bits off the packaging, send a certain-sized bit of paper, only in black ink, whatever, follow it closely!
How long does it take to get paid?
You are supposed to receive your refund within 28 days usually, but this varies a tremendous amount. Anything between 4 days and 2 months is normal.
Here is a list of all the current TMFs:
Please report any new ones you find by clicking reply
Most offers require a special pack; for ones that don't, let's attempt to post the address here (just click reply)
All offers are one per household. Only 2nd class postage will be refunded, where mentioned. Remember to circle your purchase on the receipt.
I'll keep updating this post as new offers appear.
Happy hunting!

- Just found 6 pack of Ryvita Goodness Bars - Cranberry & Apple Try me Free in Tesco. Cost Ј1.88 and really easy to clainm Ј1.89 cheque back via website - no need to send off or send receipt.
- Can you post the website address for the Ryvita Try Me Free. It's not mentioned on their regular site and I was wondering if there's a special one you have to visit?
Thanks - Ryvita website is www.ryvitarewards.com
- The RYVITA CEREAL BARS are going through at Ј1.50 instead of Ј1.88 as it said on the SEL.
- With thanks to Happyally on PTS :
In sainsburys today I found some Youngs frozen salmon fillets with garlic & herb which had a "try me free" flash across the top. Inviting you to tell them whether you liked them or not in 15 words and they will send a chq up to value of Ј4.99 for the purchase. Sainsburys are selling them at Ј5.99 so not quite "purchase price" but got them just the same. - Hi all TMFrs
Whilst looking for the Youngs Salmon Fillets in Tesco (which I didn't find) I did find another one in a similar vein - it's Youngs Frozen Prawns 350g pack (not sure of the price as I wasn't in a position so take frozen stuff straight home so didn't buy them). The bag has a red flash across the top with yellow TREE ME FREE TASTE CHALLENGE type stuff written across it.
I did read the packaging though - usual Ts & Cs - need till receipt, barcode from the pack and statement saying what you did or didn't like about them. They'll send a cheque for the purchase price - interestingly it says if you bought them on a multi-buy deal, send both barcodes (and presumably you'll get the full price you paid for the entire deal don't quote me on that though, it's just what I read it to mean). - Also this info might be of use to someone:
If you've not done the Sure for Women Roll On one yet, it's 2 for Ј2 in Boots so you'd effectively get the second one for 12p by getting the single price of Ј1.88 refunded.
Regina Chamomile Toilet Tissue is stocked in Wilkinsons as well as Sainsburys and Somerfield for those of you finding it hard to track down (like me) - For anyone wanting an update on the Aunt Bessie's TMF products: I got a second cheque so it seems you can send multiple claims
Has anyone received anything from the Moo one milk yet? - [quote=gemmalouanna;15705477]For anyone wanting an update on the Aunt Bessie's TMF products: I got a second cheque so it seems you can send multiple claims

Thanks and well done. I presume both refunds were to the same name and address? I am still struggling to receive the refund on my FIRST claim sent for 2 months ago. I rang Aunt Bessie's 10 days ago (at which time I was AGAIN told that only one claim would be accepted!). 3 days later the handling agency rang me and said they would put a 'replacement' refund in the post that same day. That was Monday, still not received anything, tomorrow I shall be writing a stinging letter to Aunt Bessie's! - 350g pack so good price at Tesco (not that it matters!). Still nothing from AB and, interestingly, the Handling Agent is the same for Tizer, and I've had nothing from them either! Now sent 3 AB and 2 Tizer.

Quote: - wish id known about the tizer as got some the other day but chucked the bottle:rolleyes:
- I am in contact with someone from AB via e mail and she is getting back to me. I will keep you all informed.
- Found the Prawn's at Mr T today , Cheers OP
