The site - Try It - helps people ''discover new favourite products'' to try at home in exchange for a review.
To qualify for your free box of goodies, which also include treats for your pet, you first need to sign up and create a profile that helps the brand to get to know you a little.
According to the site, the membership won't ever cost you a penny, and your profile info will help them tailor new product experiences around your likes and needs.
Once you've tried the products, take a moment to give some honest feedback.
When complete, you'll instantly become eligible to receive more boxes, with more products.
The site keeps the contents of each campaign a secret until after delivery, so you won't know what products are inside your box until you open it - it's like Christmas but all year round.
With a variety of products from food, drinks and tasty snacks, to cosmetics and grooming, healthcare and household essentials, the boxes have something for everyone.
Informing fellow cash-strapped Brits about the epic deal, one woman, Tracey Green, took to Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook.
Sharing a snap of her brand new full-sized goodies, the thrifty woman said: ''I signed up, received an email with a survey, which I had to answer some questions to see if I was a match and received my 1st free #triyit box. I was so excited to receive it.
''It's not a huge box but was full of full size goodies. These are #Gifted and you get to try lots of products free.
I tried Harry Kane's knobbly sticks after England star did a Gary Lineker by releasing snack brand - here's my verdict
''You need to snap photos of the products and leave feedback on what you thought of the products.
''Sign up today, you have nothing to lose. Win win!''
It's not just Tracey raving about the bargain deal, as loads of other people shared their success with the Try It box.
Fridge or cupboard? The essential food storage guide
Foods must be stored correctly to keep them fresh and prevent the spread of bacteria.
Nutrition expert Birgit Brendel said bread will last longer when stored in the fridge or freezer.
However, this can compromise the flavour.
Storing in ceramic or pottery containers is an alternative that allows for air to flow easily and slow the growth of mould.
Robert Morris, managing director of food safety consultants, Complete Food Safety, revealed the best place to store fresh fruit and vegetables.
He said salad foods should be stored in the fridge drawer, but away from anything grown in the soil such as carrots, parsnips and beetroot.
Tomatoes are an exception to the rule as fridges can alter the natural ripening process and diminish their taste.
He also advised against putting avocados and bananas in the fridge as this will cause them to blacken quicker.
One wrote: ''I got this exact same box the other day too!''
Another chimed in: ''I've had whiskey, cider, dog treats mainly.''
A third lucky customer commented under the post: ''I've been lucky, I've had half a dozen boxes over the last two years.
''My cats and dogs have got to try all sorts of food, as have I and I've got to try whiskies, rums and three different vodkas!''
A mum warned: ''I accidentally clicked I was breast feeding (my children are 9 and 11 ) but it couldn't be changed due to safety, so missed out. Be careful when selecting guys!''

'I stayed in 'enchanting' UK glamping spot by beautiful hikes and thrilling zipwire'
Brits looking for glamping holidays in the UK may want to check out this enchanting spot in North Wales that's tucked away in some of that beautiful Welsh countryside If glamping in North Wales isn't your idea of a luxury getaway, there's one staycation spot that could change your mind. Set against the dramatic backdrop of Snowdonia National Park, Llechwedd Glamping offers unparalleled views and hotel-style comfort while maintaining an outdoorsy, adventurous feel. The safari-style lodges, perched on top of a cliff overlooking a working quarry, provide an idyllic bolthole whether you want to hike, wild swim or explore the area's UNESCO-listed slate landscape. They're part of the newly renovated 4* Plas Weunydd Hotel nestled amongst beautiful Welsh mountains and moorland. I visited in June with my sister Romilly, 23, mum Emma, 62 and our crazy English Pointer, Daphne. From the moment we arrived, it was an adventure. The slope to the cabins is too steep for cars, so the friendly hotel staff ferry you and your luggage to the top in a pickup truck. The dog-friendly glamping lodges felt like a luxury hotel suite, and come complete with a kitchen, plush double bunk beds (sleeps five), an en-suite with hot shower and every conceivable mod-con from super-speed WIFI to rechargeable table lamps. The walls are adorned with old black and white snaps of the slate miners hard at work in the quarry below. The wood-burning stove, basket of logs, firelighters and matches were a much-appreciated touch. As were the hot water bottles in cosy knitted covers, two plug-in heaters, board games (we enjoyed many rounds of the Logo Game!) and tin of dog treats (Daphne couldn't get enough). There's a private deck too but we didn't make use of it much as the British weather wasn't on our side. As for the food and drink, the hotel had a great selection of locally sourced dishes, but we opted for the pizza-making kit and cooked our creations in the lodge's very own al fresco pizza oven. Freshly made dough, Mutti tomato sauce, mozzarella and chorizo are beautifully presented in a wicker basket alongside essential tools like rolling pins, pizza cutters and rustic wooden serving boards. The wind was high on top of the cliff which made lighting the oven a bit tricky, but once away we had piping hot pizza in no time. The breakfast offerings are also top-notch. Glampers can go for a breakfast pack of pastries, cereal, juice and bread delivered to the cabin (£12.99) or, like us, take advantage of the hotel breakfast, which exceeded all expectations. Served in the tastefully refurbished pooch-friendly dining area, visitors can tuck into any variation of a traditional Welsh breakfast (like an English breakfast but with the optional addition of cockles and laverbread!) cooked fresh to order. We kept it safe with with poached eggs on toast followed by yogurts and freshly-baked croissants from the self-service area - all of which went down a treat! Little touches, including the miniature jars of gourmet ketchup and brown sauce, added a high-end feel to the experience. Located in the historic slate town of Blaenau Ffestiniog and overlooking the Moelwynion mountains, Plas Weunydd is perfectly positioned for those looking to explore the dramatic landscape. For seasoned hikers, Wales' highest peak Mount Snowdon is a 40-minute drive away. But if, like me, you enjoy a more leisurely stroll, Dyffryn Maentwrog woods is a must-visit. Located a 10-minute drive from the hotel, an enchanting circular trail takes you past Llyn Mair lake, built by local landowner William Edward Oakeley as a 21st birthday present for his daughter Mair in 1889. The nearby Victorian ornamental pond and Japanese-style stone seat, built by the family at a similar time, are the perfect spot to take it all in. I particularly enjoyed hearing the distant chug of the Ffestiniog steam railway which runs through the woods. Located next-door to the glamping site is Zip World Llechwedd, one of Wales' most visited attractions. Positioned in amongst the historic slate mines, families and hardcore adrenaline-hunters can take their pick of seven adventures. We braved a ride on Titan, Europe's first four person zip line, featuring two sections of zip lines spanning over a kilometre (£60 per person). Specially converted ex-army trucks take you to a dizzying height of 1,400ft where you catch two zipwires back down to base camp. Although high, we were pleasantly surprised by the ride's leisurely speed, allowing us to take in the stunning views of the quarry below. Those scared of heights can head underground instead to Bounce Below, an enormous underground net adventure where you can jump and slide your way through the disused mine. It's ideal for adults and children from seven years and up whatever the weather and is a great alternative to traditional trampoline parks. Book the holiday Nightly rates at Llechwedd Glamping start from £125. You can find out more and book at

Top-rated game has price slashed to just £2.14 in summer sale – but the deal is about to expire
It even has a special "AI" feature PLAY DATE Top-rated game has price slashed to just £2.14 in summer sale – but the deal is about to expire Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A TOP-RATED video game is down to a shockingly low £2.14 – and it's perfect timing for summer gaming. The offer on the iconic stealth title is still available but it's due to expire in days. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 The iconic stealth game is now cheaper than a cup of coffee Credit: Ubisoft 5 Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory focused heavily on stealth gameplay Credit: Ubisoft You can snap up Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory for 75% off right now – buy it here. Normally the classic game costs £9.59, but the deal is part of a "special promotion" on the Steam store. This Ubisoft title will stay on sale until August 24, 2025, before going back to its usual price. "The year is 2008. Citywide blackouts, stock exchange sabotage, electronic hijacking of national defence systems – this is information warfare," the game's description reads. "To prevent these attacks, operatives must infiltrate deep into hostile territory and aggressively collect critical intelligence, closer than ever to enemy soldiers." The game is a sequel to Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow and follows NSA covert ops agent Sam Fisher investigating cyber-warfare. In classic Splinter Cell style, the game focuses heavily on stealth mechanics, and featured noise monitoring for both the player and the surroundings. The game came out in 2005 and released on several platforms, but the Xbox and PC versions were the best-rated. On PC, the game is extremely well-reviewed by almost every measure. On Steam, it holds a Very Positive rating, with 93% of the nearly 5,000 gamers who left feedback giving it a good review. The Sun tries new Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart before it's out And it also holds a very high 92 score on Metacritic. It won multiple awards, including Best PC Game at the Game Critics Awards and IGN's Editor's Choice Award. By today's standards, the graphics aren't exactly spectacular. But at the time, Ubisoft boasted that they were "as good as real" with "never-before-seen graphics technology". WHAT PLATFORMS WAS SPLINTER CELL: CHAOS THEORY OUT ON? Here's the full list – did you have any of them? Microsoft Xbox Microsoft Windows PC Mobile Nokia N-Gage Sony PlayStation 2 Sony PlayStation 3 Nintendo DS Nintendo 3DS Nintendo GameCube 5 The game tracked the noise of your own movements versus the ambient sound Credit: Ubisoft The NPCs were also powered by what Ubisoft described as an "intelligent AI". So they would react with personal attributes, and exhibit natural behaviour with awareness of the environment (like reacting to your sound versus the ambient noise) – even remembering past events. It was also the first Splinter Cell game to feature ragdoll physics, which made dispatching baddies even more satisfying. The game was also pitched as being highly replayable thanks to optional secondary objectives and multiple paths for completing missions. 5 This Splinter Cell game featured "intelligent AI' for its NPCs – and introduced ragdoll physics to the franchise too Credit: Ubisoft You'll need at least 4GB of storage space free on your machine to install the game, as well as a minimum of 256MB of RAM (though 512MB is recommended). It's an old game so plenty of modern PCs will be more than capable of running it. All prices in this article were correct at the time of writing, but may have since changed. Always do your own research before making any purchase.
