How many of you like to "try before you buy"?

I, for one, love trying out products before I make that plunge... How many of you have found a bariatric friendly product (doesn't have to be specific to bariatrics) that allows you to sample their product before you buy?

Care to share some of your "finds"? Can be anything... food, vitamins, trial products etc... I love knowing I have options!

When I asked my mother during my teen years, she replied, "I'm not telling you that" or maybe "I'm not talking about that with you." It's kinda sorta obvious and a few years later, my father confirmed that they'd been screwing before marriage. I suspect that there was someone before my father because of something my maternal grandmother told me, but I'll never know for sure. I hope my hunch is correct.

It really depends on the product.

Not necessarily bariatric related per se, but I've noticed a big change in my hair texture and skin since my RNY. I have found Birch Box to be a really nice way to try out beauty products (which can get pretty pricey) before buying. There are a lot of services like this one that have cropped up recently, too, not just Birch Box.
