Free Holiday Popcorn & Snack Samples at Grocery Stores
Find kiosk snack samples near you and enter the holiday popcorn sweepstakes by Dec. 31 with entry limits explained.
Yes, you can get free holiday popcorn and snack samples at grocery stores right now. Sam's Club members can scan for trial-size samples at in-store kiosks, and shoppers can enter the Snack Watch and Win sweepstakes for popcorn prizes. A Freeosk kiosk is a small in-store dispenser that gives a trial-size sample after you scan.
Full-size products sit beside the kiosk for purchase. The sweepstakes is a separate chance to win, not a guaranteed sample.

How do kiosk samples work?
According to Modern Retail in its kiosk sampling report, Sam's Club members can scan a membership card at in-store Freeosk kiosks to dispense a free trial-size sample. Full-size products are displayed beside the kiosk for purchase. This helps you decide fast.
Try the small sample in the aisle. Buy the full size only if you like it.
How do you find a kiosk?
The Freeosk Marketing Inc. app listing says shoppers use the Freeosk app to find a nearby kiosk and scan to receive a free sample in seconds. Offers vary by location and last only while supplies last.
Check the app or store locator before you travel. Weekend and holiday events often have more staffed food demos.

What limits should you plan for?

Many people will enter and few will win, so check the sponsor rules before you count on prizes.
