Aisle: Free Food after Venmo/PayPal Rebate

If you like the idea of free or discounted full-sized samples of trendy new food products, especially plant-based or health-focused ones, check out Aisle Offers. I also noticed that there are some discounts available on more established brands. Here’s a quick rundown of how it works:

• You will need to opt-in your phone number and agree to receive a lot communication via texts.
• Browse various offers from new food brands and make sure you successfully register first. Each vendor may send you specific details from a different phone number. For example, Cretor’s confirmed that you can buy any flavor, any size, any retailer but only up to $4.75 max rebate.
• Buy the product (again, sometimes limited to specific retailers).
• Text them a picture of the receipt.
• Aisle will either Venmo or Paypal you the funds.

It seems that they are trying to minimize the friction of giving out free samples to folks, as opposed to manned tables like Costco or traditional paper coupons.

Here are several examples of free products that I see right now, although they will change quickly and are based on the retailers and stocking patterns near your specific geographic location. Something of a treasure hunt.

• Cretor’s Popcorn (free bag of popcorn, any flavor, any size)
• Good Planet Vegan Cheese (free package)
• VitaCoco Coconut Juice (free 16.9oz can)
• JustFoodForDogs (free, fresh dog food)
• Perfect Bar (free, single gluten-free protein bar)
• HOP WTR (free, fancy water?, single 12oz can)
• SunSip (free, fancy soda, single 11.5oz can)
• Rotten Gummy Worms (free, healthier candy???)
• Agro Jerky (free, plant-based jerky)

Might be a fun thing to try if you like such snacks. Hat tip to Doctor of Credit and Reddit. Reddit users report wait time usually varies from same day to 1-2 days, but is sometimes longer. The company appears legit; here is their brand-facing website.
