http://www.somniorunning.com/ Click on "sign up to be a wear tester". They will send you a free pair of running shoes to try out.
Check out gyms with free membership trials.
You can go to various websites to sign up for free products. You can do this will most of your favorite products. Here are some sites that can guide you in the right direction. Still watch out for scams. Never give your credit card number. Remember if it's free, there's no need to give it.

Most stores have Dr. Scholls "foot mapping" machines. In a few minutes, it will tell you for free what kind of insoles would be best for your individual feet.
Every pharmacy has a blood pressure machine. Check it out. Remember, there are no symptoms for high blood pressure. So if you can check it for free, do it.
Free clinics are available to those at and below the poverty line. You'll be able to get check ups, immunizations, maternity care, prescriptions, etc. Some sites you can go to for more info are http://www.freeclinics.us/, http://www.stdcheck.org/, http://www.plannedparenthood.org/, and this one's not on there but I'm adding it http://www.womenschoicecenter.org/.
Some hospitals give free mammagrams. Go to http://www.komen.org/ to find one in your area.
http://www.vsp.com/ will hook you up with places that give free eye exams and a free pair of glasses once a year.
