Freebies and free stuff

Growing up, I used to love going to the dentist. Not only would there be an awesome new toothbrush, but there’d also be another floss pack. What would I do with my floss? Well, I wasn’t allowed to tie it to the cat’s tail, so I used to just throw it in a drawer and never touch it. Yup. Bad dental hygeine 101 right there.

Nowadays, though, I’m the one who gets to pick the minted waxed floss for my household, but this free sample Reach Access Flosser might change my mind…

If only I had it today after getting my free Taco Bell taco, though…

At work, as much as I love my cubicle, I’m stuck in the dangerous time during Halloween where everyone is bringing in something that’s pumpkin flavored or has a huge bowl of candy and are passing it around. And honestly, how can I resist the Bit-O-Honey’s or Heath bars? Especially if my boss is buying!

That’s why I’m glad there are freebees out there like this free Chex Turtle bar. Sure, its not some diet bar, but these individually wrapped snacks make me feel a little better about myself… And not like I need to build a door for my cubicle…

Although, a cardboard door for my cubicle and a ceiling wouldn’t be bad… Hmmm…

This free Escada Moon Sparkle perfume fooled me for a good 5 minutes before I realized you have to enter in your birthday as Day/Month/Year instead of the normal way we here in the states do it. Apparently I can’t read and many of you are probably wondering how it is I survive on a daily basis. The answer is a lot of luck and kindness pity from random strangers. At least now I’ll smell better when somebody comes to my aide and politely explains you can’t walk naked down the middle of the road, no matter how much Captain Morgan you’ve consumed that evening.

What better time is there to get a child started on freebies than when he or she is still a baby? I’ve never heard of this free Member’s Mark baby formula, but then again it’s been 25 years since I was a baby and I don’t quite remember what it was I had in those days. Though, I have to say, I think that’s for the best. There are some memories a person just shouldn’t have, if you know what I’m saying.

[via Michelle - thanks!]

EDIT: This is no longer available, but don’t worry, I’m sure this will be back soon!

It’s getting cold outside, nobody has any extra money to go to the movies, and baseball is a few short days away from being done for the season. So what’s a person to do if they want to help pass the time? Well, you could always sign up for this free Lifestyles condom and use the next few weeks to find a special someone in your life before it arrives. And people say there’s nothing to do during the winter!

Hiffers! How I’ve missed you so over these past few days. I’ve been down in sunny Florida since Friday and it’s been quite odd not hunting for freebies and answering e-mails all day long. Luckily it looks like Adam and Shaynon have covered things nicely here, so much thanks to both of them for keeping the freebies flowing while I’ve been away. They did such a great job that I even extended my vacation for another few days, but I’ll be posting regularly while I’m down here.

In the meantime, remember to get your free Taco Bell taco tomorrow (Tuesday, October 28) between 2:00 and 6:00pm. Of course, if you have multiple Taco Bell locations near your work or home, you may want to enjoy an extra freebie or two

I remember when I was younger how at the mall they had those McGruff Crime Dogs and you could get your picture taken with them and they blacked out your fingers. I thought they were stealing the tips of my fingers or something when they pressed them on those cards…

Finally, though, now that I’m grown up, maybe I can get them back with this free ADT child safety kit. You know, press my fingers on that card and maybe they’ll come back… If not? I guess I have a life of cat burglary ahead of me…

And another one bites the dust, folks…

Sunday morning, and there’s nothing better than rolling out of bed and having a bowl of cereal while watching cartoons in a t-shirt and fleece pants…

Oh wait, that’s Saturday morning. And Sunday? Is laundry day for me… But with another t-shirt, like this free Greenworks t-shirt, maybe just maybe I could postpone it for another day.

Probably not, though, I’d be out of socks. Now I just need a free socks offer…

EDIT: The original freebie is no longer available, but this freebie review is still a fun read

Hello all my wonderfully fabulous Freebie Friends! I hope the end of your October is going great! Since we are getting on to Halloween in a mere five days, I thought I would spare you another sugary product review. Now we know that too much chocolate or sugar is supposed to cause breakouts. Some people claim it doesn’t, but honestly, I’m gonna eat my chocolate either way. But if you care about your face, which I am hoping you do, you could try this free Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub cleanser. It’s an oil-free acne wash for your face and it’s a great freebie!

EDIT: People are reporting they are no longer giving these out for free. Shucks.

There are two types of people in the world: those who like pancakes and those who like french toast. Sure, there are those who like a muffin or a biscuit or even just plain buttered toast, but when it comes to the big two, its one or the other.

Me? I’ll take either or, as long as its for brinner. Yes, brinner. And I hope that this free sample of SweetStacks pancake mix arrives in time for the next time I get brinner.

I’ve recently taken up jogging, and I can say this for sure: jogging in the cool midwest Autumn is much better than jogging in any season in Florida. Sure, Florida is nice and warm, but its also humid. Here in Illinois? Perfect weather. A little cold? Yeah, but just throw in a jacket.

What’s the same wherever you jog is the pain and soreness from the distance sometimes. Or at least for me. With about 10-15 miles down a week, and starting from scratch? I’m hurting. So I hope that this free sample of Beyond Bodi Heat pain relieving stuff takes a lot less time to get here than the 6-8 weeks they tell me…

Hi my Freebie Friends! I hope that many of you are very warm today, because here in PA, I am freezing!! I woke up this morning to a 29 degree, wind blowing, and mind numbing cold. It’s October and I usually don’t turn my heat on till November, but today I might have to. What a perfect day for a cup of coffee! I’m going to brew a pot of Seattle’s Best Coffee and use my new free Sun Crystals Sweetener to go with it.

Now in my house I don’t use regular sugar. We use Splenda in everything because my best friend who eats me out of house and home is a diabetic. Plus, it’s healthier for you. So seeing this freebie, I checked it out and saw that it was safe for diabetics to use and ordered my sample. That was on August 25th, 2008 and about 2 weeks later the sample showed up at my door. It came in a little tri-fold heavy paper envelope that contained 2 sample packs. Each sample pack is about a teaspoon. The good thing about this sugar is that it’s only 4 calories! The information included on the envelope says that it is made with raw cane sugar and a zero calorie erythritol sweetener. So far I am liking this. So let’s try it in the coffee!

Some of the best samples we can get in the mail are and always will be the Wal*Mart Start Sampling ones. Boy oh boy are those ones good: always reliable, fast shipping, and even some with coupons!

Now, this gets even better. Today and tomorrow, Wal*Mart is holding a free sample event. The days differ at different Wal*Marts, but who knows? Maybe you’ll be lucky like me: the one about 5 miles north of me has an event today and the one about 3 miles south has an event tomorrow. Freebie Jackpot? I think so…

We don’t put many coupons or rebates or refunds on the front page, but with the way the season’s changing? Well we’re all baking a little more or trying to eat a little healthier.

And so enter in this mail in rebate for Smart Balance products. From the end of this month through January 31st, you can redeem a good variety of products as free. One of each, though, and hold onto those receipts for these rebates. Of course, you’re telling them that you don’t like it, but I’m sure we could make up good excuses. For example:

* My dog ate my smart popcorn.
* I didn’t feel smarter eating it.
* It smelled funnny.

And if someone asked? You didn’t get those excuses from me!

EDIT: Hiffed to death!

It’s a Friday night and Goob’s gone. Time to get crazy!

And what better way to get crazy than to moisturize with a free sample of Vaseline Intensive Rescue. What? I never said I was normal! If I was normal he never would have hired me! Hah!
