Freebies and free stuff

I’m in the middle of moving right now, so I’ve started losing track of the days between all the packing and nights spent on couches. The only reason I mention this is because a million of you wrote in about Arby’s Free Food Wednesdays promotion that they’re running now where, with a small purchase, you can get a variety of free food. I was planning on looking over the terms tomorrow when I had some free time and then it just dawned on me that, hey, today’s Wednesday! It might be smart if I took a crack at it now!

Today’s deal is a free RoastBurger with soft drink purchase and I’ve put the full list below the jump. STL Mommy is reporting that her local Arby’s doesn’t require a coupon, but you can sign up for their free Arby’s Extra club just in case. I’ve actually been getting their newsletters for a few month now and they send out a ton of great coupons regardless.

So, to recap: I’m a doofus and sorry to the East coast Hiffers if you don’t see this before Thursday rolls around! Fingers crossed I caught enough of you on the West coast before you headed home

Check out Arby’s Summer-long free food schedule!

When I first saw this free Drinkin’ Mate offer, I thought they were going to send me an actual drinking mate. Score, a new friend! Then I realized they were just anti-hangover tablets.

To be honest, I’m always weary of over-the-counter remedies like this. Isn’t a hangover simply caused by not having enough livers? Just have a few extra ones installed like I did and you’ll be all set to drink as much as you want. You’d be amazed at what you can buy on the black market these days!

EDIT: This freebie is now dead.

This free Bodycology soap and lotion from Walmart got me thinking: if -ology is the suffix that roughly means the study of, does that mean I work in freebielogy? How would you even pronounce that? Free-b-low-gee I kinda like the sound of that.

Time to update the ‘ole resume!

EDIT: It looks like they’ve removed this offer. I’m looking for a new Promo Code now. If you’ve already created a personalized card, you can save it in your shopping cart or to your account and then use the next code I find on it.

Hallmark.com is giving away a free 5×7 personalized folded card when you use the promo code CARD4U (it even includes shipping). There aren’t any upcoming birthdays that I can remember though, so I’m going to just make a generic “get well soon!” card and send it to myself. It’s nice to have cards on hand for those last minute events where you need one. In fact, I have a drawer full of them, some of which include timeless messages as “Y2K is almost here!” and “I’m glad to hear you didn’t get SARS.”

Walmart is giving away free Sun Crystals sweetener samples, but I’m a bit too freaked out by the initial freebie page. On the right hand side it shows the sweetener being used on a variety of foods: coffee, grapefruit, tea, a strawberry, lemonade, a raspberry. And then the final product is…baffling. What is this? Shredded wheat? Mushrooms? Cat food? I’m honestly kind of hoping it’s the latter at this point. It might help me complete my quest to one day get each of my siblings to eat dog or cat food.

Is it summer yet? I may be done with high school and college, but to me, summer still means carefree days and a chance to slack off a little (aka scheduling zero meetings on nice days in the odd chance that I call in “sick”). To celebrate the immature armpit-farting child in all of us, I’ve hunted down some summer-worthy deals. Enjoy!

RewardsGold has a new free Golf Digest magazine subscription offer up, which is just in time for all the summer games I’m sure to embarrass myself at. Do you think an upcoming issue will have an article on the top ways to make sure your kart doesn’t end up at the bottom of a pond? Because that’s easily one of my biggest weaknesses.

You have to take a survey around 10 questions long in order to get this free Beyond BodiHeat, but I was more than willing to participate. It’s not even 10:30 and my back neck feel like boulders weighing me down. Weren’t we supposed to to have laboratory-grown pod people whose organs and muscles we could harvest by now?

In doing some research to make sure this free HealthiFeet foot cream was a legit offer, I couldn’t help be fall in love with the parent company’s name – Tender Corporation. It sounds like something out of 30 Rock where a global behemoth of a company garners some bad press and then spends millions of dollars rebranding their image.

The Tender Corporation – Because We Care. *insert images of little kids, flowers, and a flag waving in the breeze.*

Stop by any participating Haagen-Daz store between 4-8pm on Tuesday, May 12 and get a free scoop of any Bee-Built ice cream flavor. To be honest though, the only parts I understood from that previous sentence were the numbers.

Since when did Haagen-Daz have stores? What in the world is Bee-Built ice cream? And what the heck is a “Tuesday?” Why does the world have to have so many things I don’t understand.
