There’s nothing better than sampling food. Am I right?! Costco doesn’t limit customer on samples, so you can try as many things as you’d like. Plus, it’s a good way to try something before buying it in bulk.

L'Occitane beauty products highlighted with natural ingredients

L'Occitane

As a former employee, I can safely say L’Occitane gives away tons of free samples. All you have to do is ask an employee or add them to your shopping cart with any online order. Just be aware the samples are pre-packed in foil packets so you can’t expect to get a sample of any product in the store. But, hey, it’s better than nothing!
