Freebies and free stuff

EDIT: This is no longer available.

To say that I’m TV addicted is an understatement. Sure, I got a new guitar today, but I barely even touched it. I spent all evening watching TV with my wife. And while watching? I saw the commercial for the Sham-WOW! dozens of times it seems.

That being said, because I’m a frugal sucker who loves freebies, I think I’ll just pass on that for the time being and stick with something like this free Viva paper towel sample. Sure, it may only be a sheet or two, but it’ll save me some of that $20 that that infomercial says I spend on towels.

And I believe him, because he’s on TV, and I believe in TV…

I’ve got a few free Redbox DVD rental codes to share! All of them should be good for one free rental per credit card (and were working as of print time), so enjoy a movie tonight courtesy of Goob!

(ed: Hiffer Steve wrote in to let me know that DVDONME and BREAKROOM is for new Redbox users only. So basically that means you can only use them with a credit or debit card that you’ve never used before.)

• M7DM23 – This is one of their Monday Only codes, so it expires tonight at midnight. The next three have an unknown expiration date.
• SHPNSVE2
• DVDONME
• BREAKROOM

Thank goodness for these, because otherwise my President’s Day evening would have been so boring, I probably would have ;lkhasd.

Sorry, I passed out there just thinking about how little I had planned for tonight. I better go pop in a movie.

And yes, the free Target Gift Card winner will be announced later on today! I’m just waiting to get in contact with the winner
(ed: Youtube is being a punk and taking forever to convert my video, so I’ll have to upload it in the morning. I’m off to bed to dream of TurboTax boxes dancing around me, pointing, and laughing.)

There was a version of these free Crest Whitestrips offered last month by WalMart (which is still available, btw), but this new offer is straight from Proctor & Gamble and comes with $7 worth of coupons. I doubt I’ll sign up for this though. I’m always told I have sparkling white teeth as it is. Some people swear by brushing three times a day, but I’ve found an industrial sized barrel of White Out does just the trick.

Hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day! Don’t forget to stock up on all the discounted chocolates today! And while you’re out and about, take these coupons with you:

Nature’s Bounty: Join the Nature’s Bounty e-mail list and receive an instant printable coupon for $1.00 off any product, plus future coupons delivered to your inbox. These vitamins are often buy one get one free at chain drugstores, so stock up and save!

Cascadian Farm: Print this coupon to save $1.00 on any Cascadian Farm organic product. I wasn’t a huge fan of their free chocolate chip granola bar, but they do have pretty good cereal and frozen fruit!

Glamour: Sorry guys, but this coupon is targeted more for the ladies. If you’re seeking some cheap mindless reading, might I suggest using this coupon to save $1.00 on the March issue of Glamour? Or I suppose you could just buy one of those random news tabloid about stripper aliens, undead Elvis, and Siamese leprechauns. You may lose a few brain cells, but at least you’d get a good laugh, right?

Sam’s Club: Use this coupon (courtesy of Allstate) to visit your local Sam’s Club, pick up some cheap bulk groceries, and waive the 10% service fee that normally applies to purchases made by non-members. Sounds like a good deal to me!

Papa Murphy’s: After working at a pizza place for 2 years, I used to absolutely hate the stuff. I also hated smelling like cheese and grease every day, but that’s beside the point. Now that I have a non-smelly office job and a Papa Murphy’s right down the street from my apartment, I can’t get enough of their take-and-bake pizza. The best part is that Papa Murphy’s is cheap AND they offer plenty of great deals. Use this coupon for $2 off any regular pizza (excluding delite and dessert pizzas). Oh, and don’t forget to complete their customer survey and pick up your free container of cookie dough on your next visit!

TGI Friday’s: Join Friday’s new Give Me More Stripes club and be prepared for a slew of coupons! A few days after joining, you receive a membership card in the mail, a one-time “skip the line” pass (meaning you don’t have to wait for a table if it’s busy) and a coupon for a free appetizer or dessert. Keep checking your inbox for future e-mail coupons, too!

Bandido’s: In addition to their promise for a free meal on your birthday, this Indiana and Ohio restaurant also offers plenty of online coupons for their e-club members. Check out these coupons for either $3.00 off a $15 purchase or a half-price entrée (with the purchase of another entrée and 2 drinks).

The other day, I ran across a free album download from the Damnwells. Apparently they decided to give away their latest album, One Last Century, for free. So like any good freebie hunter, I just posted it to the forums and went on with my day.

But then, on Friday, a friend of mine with fairly close and particular music tastes sent me a message with the free offer and suggested that I check them out. With a strong recommendation. I knew that I had to get around to it…

And after sampling their music on their myspace? I’m sad that I didn’t share these guys with you earlier. Very well written popish rock. More alternative than pop, but it fits in well with my late-90′s rock radio tastebuds. But I’ve been too busy looking for a freebie from The Gaslight Anthem, because believe me, those guys are worth listening to too…

When I open my shirt drawer each morning before work, its a battle figuring out what mood I’m in and what the weather’s like outside. If its cold, I’ve always got a turtleneck that can go underneath it, but do I want to go button up, or do I want to go with a band t-shirt. And then, there’s always a Woot shirt or two, or even one from UCF, my alma mater.

And now with this free Epson Printers T-Shirt with code B75H, and my usual fake business name? I can add another choice to the bunch. Yup, it’ll go well with my Krispie Kreme shirt.

Gentlemen, this is a post for you. Sitting at your computer, and you have a date this evening, but you didn’t get her anything. Or your girlfriend is miles upon miles away and you forgot to do anything. Its not even noon and I’ll tell you this: don’t go to the store to buy her anything, you don’t want to get the chocolates that are left, and the flowers that are left? Well, if you’ve got the money for those, how about I send you my paypal account? I’ve got this “Adam wants a new guitar” fund going over there that could use a few donations…

Needless to say, here’s a few very last minute valentines items in case you happened to forget:

1. Download Marvin Gaye’s “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)” from Wal*Mart. Add this to a mixtape.

2. Create your own musical valentines card and e-mail it to that special person (or your mother, if you forgot to get her one).
3. Send virtual flowers (because you probably don’t want to pay for the real ones now)

And the list is endless. But please, do enjoy the day, and if you have any other great freebie sites for the holiday, feel free to share them with us!

Happy Valentines Day, folks!

EDIT: Unfortunately, this is no longer available!

I think I’ve shown enough of my softer gentler sensitive side today that after sharing this free Martha Stewart Living subscription? Its time to find a chick flick and curl up with some Ben & Jerry’s and a box of tissues…

Does Can’t Hardly Wait count?

I’m secure enough in my masculinity to admit that I like to wear pink accent colors on my shirts. Why, just this week two of my shirts had a good percentage of the design in pink. And I also like Sex and the City. I’m more of a Charlotte guy, but Carrie’s good too.

So with this free Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely perfume sample, I guess when the next movie comes out, we could bring it to the theater to give ourselves a sort of nasal 3D experience. We’ve got 4-6 weeks to wait on this sample and then a good year to plan out its usage for the sequel afterwards… Who’s with me?

I never really watched golf growing up. My dad had a perfect saying for why he never played: “Why am I going to chase a little white ball around, knocking it into a hole, and then doing it all over again?” For me, I agree with him and only play mini golf. Especially if its a pirate themed one.

But for African-American history month, it seems that Titleist is getting on-board and giving away a free copy of “Uneven Lies: The Heroic Story of African-Americans in Golf” by Pete McDaniel. Well, there may be no pirates, and the golf might not be mini, but sure, I’ll give it a whirl!
