Hey, It’s Free!

EDIT: This is dead

I signed up for this free Emergen-C Pink Lemonade, but I have to admit that I hate most other Emergen-C stuff. I can’t help but feel it tastes a bit too much like Alka-Seltzer for my liking. Who knows, though, maybe I can get my brother to gulp it all down in one sitting. Or maybe I can trick my sister into thinking it’s some sort of new age body wash. Oh, the possibilities for mischief!

Edit: Blarg! Walmart needs to stop killing these RIGHT AFTER I post them!

I recently came to the realization that I don’t know how to buy toothbrushes. Seriously, I’m completely inept when it comes to this activity. A few days ago I bought one that looked cool only to discover later that evening that it barely fit in my mouth. Huh, what was that? Oh, it was just the sound of my mom passing out since she just realized she raised a complete idiot! Luckily there’s this free Aquafresh Amazing toothpaste, so I don’t have to bother with trying to buy that stuff.

Just like last year, I almost forgot that today is Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream stores nationwide. Use their website to find a nearby shop that’s participating and then go treat the family to some delicious ice cream!

If there’s one thing I know each and every one of us have in common, it’s that we love to save money. Seriously, why else would you be reading a site dedicated to freebies?! The problem is that in my quest for daily freebies like knickknack t-shirt, coffee mugs, or candy samples, I sometimes forget about the larger and sometimes much more practical freebies out there.

Take for instance free shipping. I buy things on the Internet all the time. ALL. THE. TIME! If I’m going to buy a book and the nearest bookstore is a good 15 minute drive out of my way, I’ll simply pick it up on Amazon. I have my sibling’s clothing sizes all written down so that I can do my Christmas shopping from the comfort of my couch. If there was a way to buy gasoline on-line and have it transported directly into my truck, I’m pretty sure I’d sign up for it.

Thing is, I rarely remember to Google any discount codes for the site and when I do, I usually can only find outdated and old codes. Suddenly I’ve just spent an hour trying to save $5 and it wasn’t even worth it. Enter Free Shipping.org. If I’m shopping at Macys and need to find some coupons, well gee golly it’s pretty easy to find the Macys free shipping page in a matter of seconds. Same goes for Target, Amazon, Kohls, and 600 other sites!

(more…)

I’m not sure if they’ll send me this free flip-top calculator since I’m not a member of the Association for Computer Machinery, but I do know that I can use a computer and then operate machinery, so I think I should be allowed into their association. If not, I say we start our own, just like we’re going to start our own country! Ok, so that was a little random, but I’m in a goofy mood today and my thoughts are all over the place right now.

If I ever start a company, I’m going to make sure I hire a Slang Consultant before I name said company. The last thing I want is a product named after…well…you know what I’m getting at here. And to prove that I’m not the only one out there with a dirty mind, Undrallio thought the same thing when he saw this freebie for some “free nads” - hahaha. Anyways, here’s a link to the free Nads hair removal.

Sorry folks, we were down for about an hour or so this afternoon. Long story short, I broke things and didn’t know it until my sister called me.

Oops

I’m really having trouble remembering what I’ve already posted on HIF versus what’s new and my computer is acting wonky, so forgive me if this free Hugo Boss sample has already been inundated by freebie fans. I think I just used that word incorrectly as well, but at this time of night, who cares. I’ve been on hold for hours now and uuuuuugh. I was led to believe that 24-hour support meant you could get support during any of the 24 hours. Guess somebody lied to me as a kid!

Everybody raise their hands if they hate those stupid 5 Hour Energy commercials? For the record, I’m now typing the rest of this post with my nose because both of my hands are as close to the ceiling as possible. This is actually taking forever to type, I’m getting a little tired. I could go for some free 5 Hour Energy as a matter of fact. Mmmm, irony tastes delicious!

EDIT: I’ve got a sinking feeling this one’s dead!

I felt bad not posting anything yesterday, as Monday is when I usually try to get the most fresh freebies up here. The problem was there wasn’t anything worth posting! So thank the Freebie Gods for this free 12-color oil pastel set, which looks freaking awesome! I just signed my little sister up for these and will probably demand that she use it to paint me a few pictures I can hang on my wall. It’ll be like a double freebie for me then!

Oh, you’ll need the promo code as well. It’s SA2008.

I’ve always been a fan of stuff I can add to water to make it taste better. Don’t get me wrong, I love drinking water throughout the day, but after a while it can get a little bland. Thus enter this free True Lemon, True Lime, & True Orange freebie. Woo hoo, no more blandness!

I don’t think they’re meant to do so, but I plan on combining all three of them for some Limonage flavored water! In fact, I want to be able to buy a Limonage in the store soon. Scientists need to get on that pronto. I’m not a patient man!

Ten free brownie points to the first person who can figure out what practical purpose this free Bass beer brolly serves. I’m gonna go with “pointless,” but come on, it has to do with alcohol so it must be something worthwhile.

Also, sorry California residents, but apparently Bass beer doesn’t like any of you and thus won’t send this freebie to ya. Don’t shoot the messenger, I didn’t make the random policy!

I felt silly signing up for this free tampon carrying case since I don’t have too many tampons I need to carry around with me. But you are also entered into a drawing to win a new Toyota Prius as well, which is what got me hooked. I’m currently driving a truck that I’m fairly certain accounts for 14.3% of all carbon emissions made by mankind every year. It’s also a certifiable death trap once it tops 45 mph. If you ever see a story on CNN about a wreck caused by a truck vibrating itself to pieces, that’s me!

I always have trouble writing a post about something like these free VCF contraceptive films. I’m not even qualified to use one of these things, much less write something witty about them. Remember the scene in 40 Year Old Virgin where Steve Carrell’s character had absolutely no idea what to do with the condoms? Yep, that’s me right there. Ladies, the line forms to the left! Single file, please!

I’m not quite sure when it officially happened, but somewhere along the way Kashi became the leader in food freebies. Seriously, think about it. It seems like every few weeks I’m posting a new freebie from them, like this free Kashi Mountain Medley, and it always comes! Even better, they usually taste pretty awesome. They’re to free food as Dove is to free body products, except you can’t eat the shampoo or soap that Dove sends you. Well, I guess you could, but…yeah, I’d just stick with the Kashi.

I’d never shopped at a Kohl’s until I moved to Virginia, but it certainly came in handy every time I realized I’d lost my last pair of kahkis or needed another belt or whatnot. Some of you might be wondering how you can lose pairs of pants, but trust me, I’m capable of doing such a thing. Looks like my next missplaced clothing item won’t cost me as much to replace it since I just found this free $5 Kohl’s gift card plus another 10% any online purchase. Woo hoo for deals!

[via Moose]

The full name of this freebie is actually Caress Brazilian Exotic Oil Infusions Body Wash. Seriously. Somebody in a suit in a random office somewhere thought that would be a good name for a product. Call me crazy, but when I see the words “Brazilian,” “Exotic,” and “Oil” together in a sentence, I think of something completely other than soap.

So now that Kansas pulled off an awesome victory last night, it’s time to take a look at the standing and see who won the HIF March Contest. I’m happy to say that with a score of 145, the winner is…

CoffinDweller!

Congrats to the sweller of coffins and thanks to everybody out there who participated. I’ll be doing this every March, so if you didn’t get in on the action this time around be sure to next year!

Mornin’ folks… Wow, its been a while since I’ve posted. Or so it feels to me. You could probably track it back a week or two, I think. Anyways, with finals coming up pretty fast for me, I’ve been running around like crazy, finding anything I can with caffeine in it. Seriously. I just tried the Aquafina Alive Energize Water last night to no avail… Of course, after two days of bad energy drink backlash two weeks back, I’m still on the stuff like white on rice…

So when I opened up my Newzie feedreader this morning and found that Starbucks is giving away a free 8oz cup of their new Pikes Place Roast right on MSNBC, well, I had to come here and post it. And then, it got even better because I was beaten. Apparently in today’s USA Today (4/8/2008), there’s a card to get free tall cup of this same roast every wednesday from now through May 28th. Wowohwow! I’ll have enough caffeine soon enough, I’d imagine!

EDIT: Xerox sent me a nice letter and asked that I take this offer down, so it’s dead now folks.

I’m a sucker for office supplies. Just sitting at a desk stocked with pens and paper and envelopes and everything else makes me feel like I’m getting work done, even if I’m just playing Minesweeper. So adding a free glow pen to this clutter can only increase my productivity by, say, a trillion percent according to my calculations.

Be sure you check the box that says you only want the glow pen and not a bunch of Xerox information, because otherwise I have a feeling you’ll get a few e-mails and calls asking when you’re looking to purchase your next $5000 coping machine. I don’t know about you, but that’s just a little out of my price range…
