I would be forgetting about a lot of periodic freebies at websites, without some help. ha
If the website sends email reminders, I try to get on their mailing list.
Even if I get on the website's mailing list, I will bookmark the page of the website which tells about the freebie(s). I have a habit now of checking, each day right after I start using the computer for the day, all of the websites under the relevant bookmarks. So far, I have folders set up for . . . .
- Check These Occasionally.
- Check These Frequently.
- Check These on Mondays
- Check These on Fridays
- Check These Daily
The Google Chrome browser (I don't know about the others) lets you open all of the websites in a folder, with just a click of the mouse/other input device. That's a bit of a time-saver and avoids some hassle.
I never miss a website's regular periodic giveaway, unless I have failed to bookmark the site.
A simple system, but it works for me.
