Freebies and free stuff

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Thing is, I rarely remember to Google any discount codes for the site and when I do, I usually can only find outdated and old codes.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!

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!
