Freebies and free stuff

If you register for Self magazine’s 2009 challenge, you will be given a printable coupon good for some free Crabtree & Evelyn hand cream. I’ve never heard of this brand before, but a few Hiffers sent this offer in to me (thanks!) and so I figured I should post it.

Make sure to mark that you don’t want to sign up for a magazine subscription. I mean, unless you want to. Between all the free magazines I post here and the free magazine section we already have, I don’t know why you’d want to start paying for a magazine though. But what do I know? Don’t think you have to listen to me. I don’t even listen to myself half the time. In fact, my brain is screaming at me not to pour this pot of scalding, hot coffee all over myself, but here goes!

AAAAH, that’s hot. Why didn’t I listen to myself? Stupid hindsight!

EDIT: This is no longer available.

Well the free Old Spice body wash from Walmart is already dead, so let’s give this free Crest Pro-Health Enamel Shield toothpaste a spin next. It’s 4:22 EST now and I’m guessing this dies before 6:00.

And if anybody’s curious, yes, I’m extremely bored and have nothing better to do than create arbitrary challenges for myself.

EDIT: I picked the over of two hours and the judges are tallying up the numbers…oh man, it died in 1 hour, 49 minutes! See, I told you I suck at gambling!

We Hiffed this free Old Spice body wash from Walmart pretty quickly back in March, so what’s the over/under on doing it again? An hour? Two? Come on Vegas, somebody let me throw down $50 on this.

I’m actually so bad at gambling that somebody should create a site of every bet I make and then encourage people to make the exact opposite bet. I’d be solely responsible for making plenty of people millionaires within months.

Remember when we first mentioned in late April that Office Depot was giving away 25 free resumes? Well, instead of expiring at the end of May, the offer is now valid until the end of 2009! You can also send off a few free faxes while you’re there, which is great news for anybody interested in becoming my personal assistant. The job description pretty much entails getting me coffee and helping me come up with barely passable jokes. A monkey could do the job, but stupid federal laws prohibit me from buying one.

People have been sending me this link for free kids bowling at AMF for the past few weeks now, but I kept filing away the emails because I thought I’d already posted it. Whoops. Anyway, register on the site and you’ll get a pass that allows children under the age of 15 to get two free games of bowling every day before 5pm throughout the summer. You have to pay for shoe rentals, but some people emailing me said they’ve used the pass so many times already that they just went ahead and bought a pair of shoes.

Well I viewed that as a challenge and am now the proud owner of a bowling alley! All it cost me was every penny I had plus a loan that’s certain to cripple me for the next few decades, but I think it’s more than worth it. I probably won’t even get bored of bowling until August!

We posted this free GeoTrax DVD offer last summer, but the previous link no longer works and I think this is a new DVD? I can’t be certain as I didn’t actually watch the movie when I got it. I figured I didn’t really need another reason to start drinking before noon.

EDIT: This code is no longer valid.

How many times have we written about Swagbucks here? A gazillion? It probably has something to do with how awesome the site is – in fact, I just cashed out my fourth $5 Amazon giftcard this weekend thanks to them.

For anybody who is new to HIF, SB is basically Google + prizes. You search with them just as you would with Google, but the key difference occurs randomly when you win swag bucks, which can ultimately be redeemed for gift cards, books, posters, and starting today – video games!

In fact, to promote some of the new changes they’ll be rolling out this week, they’ve given HIF an exclusive code. Signing up for a free account will net you 3 points automatically. Then you can use the code FREECODE to gain an additional 3 points, giving you 6. For reference, a free $5 Amazon giftcard costs 45 points, so you’ll already be 13% of the way towards your first prize. Like I said in my previous post, I average about 2-3 swag bucks a day though my normal search habits, which takes me about 15-20 days to earn my prize of choice. (the code above will expire on June 16 at 11:59pm PST)

Some of their new features this week include a widget that you can place on your blog / website, a newly designed frontpage, and a favorites section in their store. If you were ever wondering why Swagbucks destroyed Blingo and Winzy, I think you now have your answer!

I know it kinda stinks that the Swagbucks code doesn’t work for members who have already registered, but they are holding point giveaways for all users on their Twitter, Facebook, and blog this week. Plus, I’ll be starting another survey tomorrow afternoon with some prizes. So there’s that to look forward to

Men, please beware. This free Tampax pearl IS NOT what you think it is. I once thought it was the more valuable version of a pearl and long story short, my girlfriend said it was the worst Valentine’s Day gift she’d ever received.

Discovery Channel & Animal Planet have teamed up to offer free printable pet medication coupons that can be redeemed at participating vets. Only problem is I couldn’t find a master list of which vets are participating in the offer, so you know what that means! We now get to play a free game of “so, uh, I’ve got this coupon from the Internet which says I can get some, uh, free medication for Twiggles and…like…you know, do you accept this?” Ohhh, I’m already giddy with anticipation over the awkwardness of it all!

If you have kids, then pray you also have some Regal theatres (stupid spelling) nearby so that you can partake in their Free Family Film Festival. For nine weeks, G & PG movies will play at 10am each Tuesday and Wednesday for free on a first-come, first-serve basis. Some of the states I looked at are having their first batch of films tomorrow, but others don’t start until next week or even the next.

Unfortunately, I don’t see any Pixar movies listed. If I was only able to watch one company’s movies for the rest of my life … well let’s just say I’m glad I already got to see Saving Private Ryan. Although, I wonder what that would look like animated! Heck, they’ve already got Tom Hanks’ voice!
