This I believe: if you read this answer you are absolved of sin.

They offer their product for free for you to try. There are no strings attached. This is what these people want you to do. Though you have no intent on buying, they are banking on the fact that you'll like it so much that you will buy. This is a gamble they are already willing and ready to make.
To be realistic, do you know of anyone who goes to the store planning to buy his favorite sample? If the sellers had a problem with this, they would set posted limits on the amount of items you may sample.
Also, many the only stores that have large scale samples like that are ones like Cosco and Sam's club. In this case, you have already paid them through your membership dues.
As an agreed procedure between you and the seller(s), there is nothing in the sight of God that is wrong with this.

Now here's a tricky question from your side.It's ok when you go only on the free sample day coz the shopkeeper also know it that all who are coming are not going to be his coustomer alawys.But make sure that u don't become popular as a "FREE -EATER" as far as your felling of sin is conserned then you may be right coz heart is alawys right and u hav to answer your own feelings

LOL, how would that be a sin? Jesus was a mooch too.
Ancient Jewish law held that the poor could enter any field and eat their fill. It wasn't considered theft unless they took food away from the fields. Many researchers speculate that because Jesus was himself poor, this is probably how he was able to walk all over the holy land with no visible means of support.
Sounds like you're ready for some disciples.

I hope not, cause I do it. Also always stop to use the restroom at Preister's Pecan Store on I-65 in Alabama. They put out samples of about 20 different candied pecans. They are delicious. I always stop there and stuff myself. I never buy anything.

LMAO! You would have to eat a lot of free samples to fill up. I never eat anything sitting out on a table like that. EWWWWW. Some old lady holding out a tray of cheese with toothpicks just isn't appetizing to me.
