Coupon: Free Coffee @ Borders

If you’re heading to Borders bookstore any time between now and the end of the month, they have some printable coupons including one for a free coffee on their site. When I first saw the coupons, I initially read the Hardcover coupon as $10 off 1 Hangover. I wasn’t sure how $10 would help a hangover, but I was almost ready to go cash it in and find out.

Free Yogi Tea

I really enjoyed the previous free Yogi tea sample that I received. However, I’m not sure if it was because the tea tasted great or because it gave me the perfect excuse to walk around talking like Yogi Bear and repeatedly saying “pic-a-nic basket.”

It’s all fun and games until you start to think you’re smarter than the average bear. Long story short, we may be smarter, but geez can they run fast. They can even snarl at you while running! And the claws! You don’t have to be too smart to know how to use those things.

10 Free iTunes Songs

Today has been beyond slow in terms of freebies. I found this 10 free iTunes summer songs offer yesterday and initially wasn’t going to post it, but geez there’s just nothing out there today. Basically, you have to become a fan of iTunes on Facebook and then they’ll give you a code to download the 10 songs, which happen to be:

  • Bat For Lashes – Daniel
  • Ben Kweller – Wantin’ Her Again
  • Blind Pilot – Go On, Say It
  • Dave Matthews Band – Cornbread
  • Dave Matthews Band – Dancing Nancies
  • The Decemberists – The Rake’s Song
  • Elizabeth & The Catapult – Taller Children
  • Gomez – Airstream Driver
  • Other Lives – Black Tables
  • White Rabbits – Percussion Gun

Sweet, music I’ve never heard of!

Baskin-Robbins Deals

Baskin-Robbins must have hired a fellow Hiffer as their new marketing director, because over the past 24 hours I’ve stumbled across a few deals and freebies from them just in time for summer!

Here’s a printable BOGO coupon for a free 31° Below (which is pretty much a milk shake) that expires 6/21/09.

If you register with DoSomething.org, you’ll receive a coupon via email on July 13th for a free Soft Serve ice cream between July 13th – July 17th.

There’s also the $3 off any $15+ cake coupon that Jenna posted a few weeks back.

And as out ginormously huge free birthday food list shows, you can get a free scoop of ice cream on your birthday.

Instore: Free Ice Cream @ Walmart (May 30)

Walmart is holding Free Ice Cream Day this Saturday (May 30) from 11am-4pm. I can’t wait that long though, so I’m currently hosting a Free Ice Cream for Lunch event. I have a feeling I’ll determine with hindsight that this wasn’t one of my brightest ideas ever. But darn if it isn’t delicious.

Free Slim Xtreme (SX) Sample Pack

EDIT: Their site now says they are out of samples until September.

I’m always wary of both diet products and anything that incorrectly spells the word “extreme,” but in the off chance that you don’t have the same strange misgivings as myself, you might enjoy this free Slim Xtreme (SX) sample pack. I’m not sure why they put (SX) after their product’s name though. It’s not like it’s such a long name that it needs an acronym. Maybe they just like the way it sounds when you say it out loud.

Free Garnier Ultra-Lift Pro Cream

EDIT: Sold out yet again!

I just wanted to mention that the free Garnier Ultra-Lift Pro Deep Wrinkle Cream that I wrote about last week is back again. We Hiffed it pretty quickly last time, so if you missed it then, now’s your chance to snag a sample.

Free LEGO Education Kit

Growing up, I probably spent 50% of my free time playing with LEGOs. The other half was equally divided between Micro Machines, Ninja Turtles, and Ghostbusters. But LEGOs reigned supreme in my life, which is why I got quite excited when I saw this free LEGO education kit offer. It looks like a bag of random pieces and yet I just spent twenty minutes squinting at them and trying to image what I’ll build.

At the very least, you can stack all the pieces together and throw it at people. I like to call that creation an AOP – Attention Obtaining Projectile.

Free Seventh Generation Cleaner

EDIT: We Hiffed it!

I highly doubt this free Seventh Generation Free & Clear All Purpose Cleaner offer will survive for long as other freebie sites start to pick it up.

I almost made the “I won’t waste time thinking of a joke” joke, but then I realized I already made that joke within the past month. In unrelated news, I talk out loud as I type and thus have said the word “joke” four times in the past ten seconds. Joke. It’s a funny sounding word. Joke. It sounds like choke. Kinda like what I’m doing now.

Free Blue Moon Bottle Opener

After entering in your birthday, there’s a super fast mention that if you join their club, you’ll get a free Blue Moon bottle opener. So…people still use bottle openers? Wimps. I’ve always just chomped down real hard with my teeth and pried off the caps. Sure, my yearly dentist bill rivals Lithuania’s GDP, but it’s totally worth it for all the high fives I get at parties.
