Freebies and free stuff

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!

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!
