Freebies and free stuff

Catchy title, huh?

Coupons.com doesn’t usually update their selection until the first of the month, but they decided to offer us an early May Day present by putting up some goodies this afternoon. I couldn’t be happier, because my pantry currently contains half a box of spaghetti and what I think are a can of peaches. I can’t be positive though. The label came off months ago and I’m worried that I’ll groggily dump a pile of pinto beans on my cereal soon.

Some of the free coupons I just printed include:

• $1/1 Kellogg’s Apple Jacks
• $1/1 Kellogg’s Corn Pops
• $1/1 Kellogg’s Froot Loops (I think they spelled fruit incorrectly.)
• $1/1 Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes
• $1/1 Kellogg’s Mini-Wheats
• $1/1 Kellogg’s Raisin Bran
• $1/1 Kellogg’s Rice Crispies
• $1/1 Kellogg’s Special K
• $1/1 Colgate Total Toothpaste
• $1.50/2 Kashi Snack Bars
• $1/1 V8 Vegetable Juice (See Mom, I most certainly do let this sit on my counter and never touch it eat enough vegetables.)
• BOGO Sierra Mist
• $1/1 Bausch & Lomb Contact Solution

I know my local Food Lion has some of the cereals listed above on sale for $1.99, so in combination with the coupons, I’ll be getting them for less than a dollar a box. Hooray, I now have dinner planned for the next two weeks!

With the new month just around the corner, be sure to check out the sites listed on our Free Coupons page. Many of the sites on there will be updating their selection soon just like Coupons.com did today.

If you join Dove Dimensions, it says they’ll send you special coupons and freebies. They do have two coupons that you can immediately print upon signing one – one for $1.50 off any 2 Dove Deodorant or Body Mist and another $1.50 coupon for Dove Cream Oil Body Lotion.

I hope this is a sign that Dove is coming out of hibernation and about to blanket us with thousands of freebies. It seems like back in 2008, they were offering a new sample every hour. They’ve only had five so far in 2009! Sure, you might say that’s four more than most other companies, but who do you think you are using math or basic logic against me? Is it really my fault I never passed the second grade?

I’m closer than I’ve ever come to getting a full day’s supply of freebies from one site. Vive Mejor is at it again, this time offering a free Caress Skinwear Collection soap sample. I love how the confirmation page says “You are just a few steps closer to flaunting gorgeous skin!” Why thank you! But forget taking the rest of the steps, I’m gonna start flaunting right now!

Okay, so my attorney now tells me that’s not quite what it meant. Lucky for me, I have six months of upcoming free time to ponder the true meaning while the government sponsors my vacation to a local correctional facility. Aren’t they considerate?

This free Hellmann’s Light Mayonnaise is the third freebie in a row that I’ve posted from Vive Mejor.com, a site which I’d never heard of before two hours ago. The first two freebies were great, but now I’m starting to get a little worried. Free mayonnaise that takes four to six weeks to arrive? I love a great dose of food poisoning just as much as the next guy, but I think I’ll have to take a rain check on this one.

Who came up with the names for these free Degree Women Fine Fragrance samples? Delicious Bliss sounds like a brand of dark chocolate, Sexy Intrigue rings like a cliche-filled cheap romance novel, and Classic Romance is what I’ve studied all my life. Why just last night, I wrote a 90 page paper on the origins of their numerals, going back to the Etruscan society.

Wait, that didn’t say Classic Romans? Ohhh, romance, yeah I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to that department. My only move is to start crying and hope she takes pity on me.

This free Pond’s Rejuveness may be a “popular Mexican beauty staple” according to their website, but I’m having trouble believing that anything from a pond could be rejuvenating. Most of the ponds I’ve ever seen are downright disgusting. If jumping into one of those is the key to unwrinkling my skin, well, I say we make looking like a prune the latest fashion statement.

At least this freebie can’t play into the swine flu hysteria that’s going on right now. According to that site, I have a naturally immunity from the disease, so I don’t have to worry.

Carvel Ice Cream is giving away a free Ice Berg from 3-7pm on Thursday, April 30. They have locations all over the place, but unfortunately for me my nearest three stores are all marked as “Coming Soon!” That won’t stop me from showing up and asking the construction workers where my freebie is though!

Also, I think we’ve found a winner for the Creepiest Mascot award!

First off, I have to thank everybody who has sent me a “Happy Anniversary!” e-mail over the past few hours. Slight problem though – I’m not married One of our other writers, Adam, made the post about having an anniversary today. So let’s all wish him and his wife well and then go sign up for a free woman’s Heart Health kit.

That was a pretty smooth segue, huh? They don’t call me Mr. Cool for nothing.

…Actually, they don’t call me Mr. Cool…

EDIT 3: And there it goes again.
EDIT 2: It’s back up again!
EDIT: Well that didn’t last too long, now did it?

This free AXE Just Clean shampoo also comes with a $2 coupon if you happen to like the freebie. I’m a bit conflicted here, because on the one hand I love freebies while on the other hand, my Top 3 pet peeves in life include “horrendous commercials.” I’m still waiting to hear back from President Obama about the Commercial Czar position I offered to fill.

This freebie has been up and down for the past few days, so fingers crossed it stays up for a while this time around.

Just this morning I was thinking about how I don’t get enough pyruvate, lecithin, or rhodiola rosea in my daily diet. Heck, don’t even get me started on how hard it is to get trace minerals these days. Luckily, this free Revvida energy drink mix promises to solve our problems and then some. Alpha lipoic acid? D-ribose? Oh, yesss! I’m starting to hyperventilate with excitement here. Where’s my trusty brown paper bag?
