Freebies and free stuff

EDIT: This is now charging S&H?

This free Lipstock Chapstock is just a weird name for some new chapstick, but I’m still not sure if I’ll use it. The tube it comes in looks just like lipstick and while I’m comfortable with my masculinity, I’m not sure if I’m that comfortable. I can just picture it now: I’m talking to some girl, pull this out of my pocket and hey, where are you going?

I’m not saying that you should leave out your phone number and e-mail address for this free WellCare tote bag, but unless you’re in the market for a new Medicare provider, well…you get my drift. I think I’ve got a few more decades before I qualify, so I think I’ll just take the tote bag and do my part to make a little less garbage.

EDIT: This is no longer available.

These free sports cards will make for a fantastic stocking stuffer if they get here in time for Christmas. Otherwise, I’m sure they’ll make a good Happy Second Tuesday of January present or at the very least a great Happy Groundhog Day gift. What, y’all don’t celebrate those holidays?

In case you’re having trouble with this freebie, simply add it to your shopping cart and proceed to check out. It’ll let you bypass the payment screen, so all you need is an address and e-mail.

EDIT: Looks like they’ve deleted this freebie.

Question: What is the worse thing to realize you left behind at home while stopped at a random gas station 5 hours into an 8-hour roadtrip? Possible Answers: 1) Your luggage 2) Your luggage 3) Your freaking luggage. Yep… I was so busy packing for all my siblings and dreaming of turkey dinner, I forgot to put my bag of clothes and toiletries in the car this past Tuesday. My siblings could have benefited from having this free orange safety hat when I made this little discovery, because I turned into a tornado of fists, kicks, and expletives.

Don’t worry, I calmed down soon afterward once I realized that I’d soon be with friends and family for Thanksgiving and that’s all that really matters. But man oh man, it sure would be nice to be able to change out of these jeans sometime soon!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I’ll be posting sporadically over the weekend, but will be home by Monday and back to our regular schedule of posting freebies.

Happy Thanksgiving, folks! Yup, you’re looking at the clock right and its 8am on the east coast, or just about 7am where I am in Illinois, and of all people in the world, I’m up. Why? Because the turkey that I’m in charge of cooking is still a frozen fourteen-and-a-half pound rock so its getting a cold water bath for the next 5 to 6 hours with standard dethawing directions.

Needless to say, its the perfect time for these three free Restaurant.com $10 giftcards. See, they’re giving away anyone who signs up for them 3 a day for anyone you want to send them to, and you can do that daily till Christmas!

So while I could give these out to my Mother and my Mother-In-Laws one day and my aunts the second day? Well, if that turkey is still a frozen rock, maybe my wife will give me three and I’ll give her three and we’ll just go out for dinner and have some turkey tomorrow…

Out of the generosity of Oprah’s heart, she’s giving us all…

No, not a brand new car. Just these Christmas songs as free downloads on her site for the next 48 hours:

Faith Hill – “Joy to the World”
Tony Bennett – “I’ll be Home for Christmas”
Il Divo – “O Holy Night”
Josh Groban – “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear”
Brian McKnight – “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”
Amy Grant – “O Come All Ye Faithful”
Harry Connick Jr. – “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas”
Aretha Franklin – “Silent Night”

Oh well, I could have used a new car, but I guess these mp3s will have to do… Even Oprah gets hit with hard economical times and has to resort to cheaper giveaways too, I guess…

I’m glad that when the wife and I went to the store last week that I remembered that we needed trash bags. Otherwise? Well, lets just say I’d have to clean up after thanksgiving dinner tomorrow whenever this free Glad ForceFlex trash bag came in the mail.

What? I could just go out and buy some more while I’m waiting? But that would be too easy!

EDIT: Sorry folks, this one turned out to be a fake…

If I had myself a Hanukkah bush at my apartment, I might find a use for this free Christmas ornament that comes with the Mountain Travel Sobek catalogs… Though, the trips that the catalogs suggest are pretty nice too…

Now all I need to do is find a place to put a glass ornament that two cats can’t get at it…

When I was a kid, my favorite Matchbox toys were those that had moving parts. That and I had a back end mover toy that was just awesome! With all of those hinges and moving parts, there was nothing that it couldn’t do!

The only thing that would make this free Caterpillar K family dozer poster any cooler would be hinges. That, or if they gave me a free test drive. Caterpillar, you guys can go to the about page and e-mail me on my site! Please? You’d make me really happy…

Oh, I’m such a big little kid…

This free glow stick is pretty much just a flashlight and a whistle, right? Sweet, I’ve been looking for something new to annoy my siblings with. Don’t be fooled by the “Outdoors” category I’m filing this under – it’ll work great in a little brother’s bedroom at 5am!

Does this free Aquaphor ointment help cure not having enough time in the day? I really hope so, because every time I go to bed, it never seems like I’ve gotten enough accomplished during the day. Heck, when I make To Do lists, I purposefully put things on it that I’ve already done just so I know I’ll have something to mark off.

EDIT: This coupon expired Nov. 30, 2008.

Well folks, I know I’ve been quiet for a week but I’m here and I’m around and I’ll be back and forth as Goob is working on stuff server side of things before leaving for Turkey Day stuff, so you’ll see me a lot more as I try to fill in. Of course, all of this cuts into the time I’m spending on NaNoWriMo as I creep towards my 50k mark (I just passed the 30k mark last night, and going strong), but I’ve got the energy for it…

And when I don’t feel like I have the energy, I’d bet using this coupon for a Free GNC bar or drink would give me the boost that I need to get that extra thousand words in. Or an extra mile to my jog that I’ll take to procrastinate from it while burning off the huge dinner my wife’ll be cooking on Thursday…

Rock and roll fans, rejoice! Today is a day that’s been seventeen years in the making. Axl Rose has finally released Chinese Democracy today! I mean, wow, its hard for me to believe that this album was started only when I was eight years old! Wow!

But, what do we care about the album, that’s not free now, is it? Heck, even a pirater got sued for leaking it! Thankfully, I think Axl Rose likes Dr. Pepper, or at least likes a good freebie like us, seeing he hasn’t complained at all about this free 20 oz Dr. Pepper offer at all. And its nice and simple too.

Just head on over to the Dr. Pepper website today only (EDIT: And extended through Monday at least), click on the bottom left of the three boxes, enter in your information, and they’ll mail you a coupon for a free bottle! All that simple! Of course, you might have some loading problems because so many folks are going to want this one and it’s been pretty well advertised, so if the site takes some time to load? Hang in there. Heck, we waited 17 years for this album, what’s 17 minutes or so for a free Dr. Pepper? (EDIT: And if that doesn’t work, give them a call at 1-800-696-5891 and get your coupon anyways!)

So rock on, Axl. And if you do happen to get the album today, head over to the forums and let me know what you think of it… I’m still digesting it myself…

[via the forums and this guy. Thanks for finally releasing it, Axl.]

If you’re out shopping this weekend and see a Godiva store, stop in for some free Godiva chocolate and try not to pass out from all the deliciousness. They’re giving away free European Dessert Truffles this weekend followed by Candy Cane Bark next weekend. I had no idea candy canes were harvest from trees, but here’s to hoping the bark is just as tasty. And if anybody wants to buy me one of these candy cane trees for Christmas, you’d officially be my best friend.

This free Buffalo Soldiers tribute poster looks to be a few years old, but it’s sponsored by Walmart and my guess is it’ll come. Because as we all know, Walmart is king of ending freebie submissions the minute they die, thus if they’re still accepting submissions, they’ve still got a few freebies in stock.

You know what this freebie made me realize? I really hope one day there’s a Goob Tribute poster. I’d even settle for a HIF Tribute poster. Teachers could put it up next to chalkboards across the country and little kids could daydream for hours on end about running a freebie website and maybe even being as awesome as me. You gotta have goals in life, people!
