Some people seek out free samples and trial sized products for various reasons. Others may accumulate quite a collection of such smaller sized products through sheer happenstance. Regardless, there are multiple reasons why free samples and trial sizes can be useful for anyone.

Some of the best products I ever came to buy regularly are those I was able to sample first. Even if the regular price is a little more than that of competitor's products, if I really like the product, its worth paying a little extra.
Being able to sample a product first allows consumers to try things they normally would be too afraid to spend the money on. Samples expose consumers to great products that are worth the money - and to the stinkers that are a waste. A great use of samples for me is to help identify the best products to buy with my hard-earned money.
Budget Booster
Free samples and trial sized products help stretch the budget by providing a little bit more of needed food and other products. Three extra days of shampoo and conditioner or an extra snack bar here and there all add up over the long run.
Guest Baskets
A fun thing I like to do for overnight guests is provide a little goodie basket filled with samples and trial sizes of various products they might have forgotten to bring or might want to pamper themselves with. Of course, a few full-sized items are in the basket, as well. Additionally, I include treats and snacks in case they get a midnight snack attack. Some of these things are items I got through free offers.
My guests are welcome, of course, to use and take anything and everything in the basket. Every guest thus far has commented on how much they have loved the goodie basket and more than one was relieved to find things in it they forgot to bring from home.
Travel
Two important things to remember when traveling are to 'pack light' and the security rules of airports regarding the amount of certain items you can carry onto the plane and pack in your checked baggage. Both of these factors make sample and trial sized goodies perfect for travel.
