How to get a free fidget spinner

One company is giving away the toy that is all the rage right now, but there is one small catch.

Now that you know exactly what a fidget spinner is and how you can get one, there’s only one logical follow-up question: how can one be acquired as economically as possible?

This is probably a good place to note what many people have said about fidget spinners, and that is that you don’t necessarily want the cheapest one you can find. That’s because slightly more costly models are built to last, whereas cheap ones can be … well, cheap.

Nevertheless, our corporate big sibling Money has a line on where you can get a fidget spinner for free. Well, free except for shipping and handling.

"A much smaller specialty retailer, GoSpinner, went into business last December with just a single fidget spinner model but sales have been so hot lately it has been adding a few different new styles each week. Some of GoSpinner’s success can be attributed to its best-selling spinner, which is listed for sale at $0.00.…Is the free spinner actually free? Well, no. The catch is that you have to pay for shipping and handling—which goes for $5.99 per spinner. The site also limits sales to a maximum purchase of eight “free” spinners per household."

GoSpinner also sells a variety of other fidget spinners in various price ranges with free shipping. Plus it even offers fidget cubes, which your kids are probably also talking about now along with fidget spinners.

There are also fidget spinner on Amazon that are nearly free as well. Just a quick browse through the models available on the site right now finds several that are under $1, though they tend to not be eligible for Amazon Prime so you’ll have to pay shipping in these cases as well.

Best of luck with your hunt, and remember that unlike some toy crazes, there are enough of these out there that you shouldn’t have to pay ridiculous prices unless you’re doing it on purpose for a really nice model.
