Yes, unless it's cheez whiz on a cracker or something. But my favorite kind of samples are cosmetic ones! There's just something oddly satisfying about all those little bottles and stuff. |

If it looks fresh and yummy ....even though I worry a tiny bit about contamination...I don't usually let that stop me |

Yes. |

I seldom try samples at the store because I can't help imagining all the other hands that have been digging around in there and that really grosses me out! If there's someone there cooking the samples and handing them out, I often avoid them because I don't want to have to listen to a sales pitch. I know a lot of people who really love food samples and will try just about anything. |

No. I don't even use any of the self serve salad bars at the supermarket because I don't think it's hygienic. I don't even touch the handle on escalators - I'd never take food from a tray with people hovering over it. |

Only if there's someone handing out the samples, then I can ask questions. "Are these cocktail weenies usually green and fuzzy?" Stuff like that. Seriously? I do like to be able to ask questions about the product. Having someone hand out the free samples is best, but only if they know something about the item. |

only when it's food that I'm interested in and I'm hungry |

I only try samples attended by a person. I have a lot of allergies, so I am careful what I put in my mouth. I'm not concerned about contamination because the person giving out the samples has to wear gloves in the stores I go to. |

2 words...FREE FOOD. Work it right, you can have your whole dinner without paying a dime...or euro...or whatever... |

no, i usually don't. most times it isn't something that i would eat normally. |

I love taking them if they look appealing. |

If I feel like it, I've never seen free samples unattended. If I did, I might be suspicious depending on what it was. I can't recall buying what was being offered more than once. |

I always try the food samples, but always feel like I have to buy it... not that I always do. We don't have unattended food samples in the places I shop at, so I don't know if I'd try them. |

Hey, that's how I had my lunch today. So, far this year, I figure I saved about $ 473.27. |

The worst that can happen(hopefully), it would taste bad and then I would have to get a free sample of something else to erase the taste. |
