Freebies and free stuff

Fellow Hiffer Mersida sent in this coupon for a pair of free Jockey underwear at Macy’s from May 31-June 6. You can never have too many pairs of underwear!

EDIT: This is no longer available!

I’ve got some bad news for the makers of this free coffee mug. Let me preface this by saying I’m no zoologist, but I have BEEN to a zoo and I’ve also seen a few shows on Animal Planet before, so I feel I’m qualified to point this out: that animal looks like the bad guy from Terminator 2. I know he’s supposed to represent the product they sell, but in my mind, he looks not only like a lethal wild animal, but also one I couldn’t kill. Call me crazy, but that scares me, even if the creature is only on a coffee mug. For all I know, he could pounce off of it and eat me at any second.

I’ll be the first to say that I doubt this freebie will come, too. I answered truthfully that I have no idea what they’re trying to sell me and that I won’t buy it even if I did. You might want to fib and say otherwise. Then we’ll see which of us receives the futuristic animal coffee mug.

Whoever designed the page for this free Clean & Clear Absorbing Sheets forgot the small rule of thumb that people usually can’t read tiny freaking text. I almost had to find my magnifying glass while filling out the form. I did figure out that you don’t have to bother with the survey on the second page, so woo hoo to that. Just click next and it’ll take you straight to the confirmation page.

EDIT: Looks to be dead, but I’ve changed the link below to their “Dentek Nation” club. If you sign up, they say they’ll send you freebies as soon as they become available.

I always used to think flossing was for losers who got tricked into thinking it was important. Then one day I went to the dentist for a routine checkup and proceeded to spend the equivalent of Japan’s GDP on drillings, fillings, and a whole lot of laughing gas. After that, I started flossing every day and thus I’m pretty excited about this free DenTek $20 gift pack. These little things are awesome, as you don’t have to worry about wrapping the floss around your fingers and cutting off your circulation (even if watching your finger tips turn purple is kinda awesome).

I’m not sure how they’re going to give away $20 worth of stuff, but you’ll get 50 free flossers, a few coupons, and some other cool stuff.

I bet my little sister will love these free Betty Crocker Warm Delight Minis (geez that’s an ironically long name for a “mini” product). She’s at that age where she loves to cook and bake things for the family, which is a-ok with me, but unfortunately she’s still learning. Take for instance the last time she tried to make brownies. Somewhere along the line the recipe got confusing and long store short, she used so much olive oil it was basically a brownie soup.

I still ate it though.

I happy this free Gillette body wash doesn’t try to pass itself off as a shampoo as well. I’ve never trusted a product that tries to say it’s both a soap AND a shampoo crammed into one bottle. It’s like that product that came out a while ago with peanut butter and jelly mixed together inside – it’s just not natural! Before you know it, we’ll be eating entire meals out of a single tube and using one type of soap to wash not just our bodies, but our dishes, clothes, and pets as well.

Ah dang it, now I’ve got the mental image of my dogs jumping into the shower with me and making me smell like a wet dog. Thanks a lot, Gillette.

EDIT: Surely you know the drill when you see a bold edit like this.

I’m sure this free Lubriderm lotion is a good freebie and all, but it got me thinking – what’s the deal with all the anti-Canadian freebies lately? I feel bad for anybody living up there, because I haven’t found many decent freebies being sent across the border. Maybe it’s yet another one of the side effects of the bad economy or maybe there’s a recent Freebie Conspiracy brewing.

I don’t care what anybody says, I’m going with the latter. It’s time for Goob to don his investigator hat, grab a notepad, and start running around making wild and unfounded accusations!

This coupon for some free Yoplait yogurt looks promising, but only if you don’t live in California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota and Tennessee. Why? Because apparently Yoplait doesn’t like giving away free stuff to residence in those states. I’m not sure how big HIF is up in North Dakota or Idaho, but hopefully it’s minimal.

Hey Everyone! Happy May (I know I’m late lol)

Anyway, I’m here to give you my first freebie review of the month. Today we are reviewing a very very old freebie, Crayola Twistables. This was posted way back in the beginning of 2007. We received ours in March I believe. I shouldn’t say us, Abby received them. Awhile back I was talking to Goob and I mentioned that she had gotten a bunch more of these in the past weeks, so he said I should let her review them and then just edit it into a review. So what you are getting is a mix of 2 reviews, Abby’s being first followed by mine. Enjoy!
