Freebies and free stuff

CVS is selling Honey Nut Cheerios cups for $1 this week, which is $1 more than I enjoy paying. However, throw in this free printable $1 off Cheerios coupon and voila, they’re free! (IE link & FF link)

Also, if you’re heading to Walmart anytime soon, you might want to consider printing out three coupons:

1. Here’s a $1 off coupon and then pick up a 6-pack of Nestle Pure Life Water, which most Walmarts are selling for $0.99.
2. Next we’ve got a $1 off coupon for Vaseline, which can net you a free Vaseline Aloe Fresh trial size since they’re currently priced at $0.97.
3. And finally there’s this $1 off coupon for Cottonelle. Walmart has their 4-pack on sale for $1, so it’s yet another free after coupon deal.

Of course, none of these deals are worthy of making a trip to the store specifically for them. But if you plan on shopping at either store within the next few days, why not snag a freebie or two? And heck, while you’re there, I’m out of fruit and contact solution. Just saying.

We’ve posted a few Durex freebies in the past, but this free Durex products page seems to be new. In fact, instead of just one freebie, you can choose any combination of the four items below:

• Durex Pleasuremax condom sample
• Play™ lubricant sachets
• Play™ Vibrations Pouch
• Play™ 2 in 1 Massage 200ml bottle

I almost typed something about “being excited” to get these freebies, but then realized that could be construed in more ways than one.

Tyson may be well known for their chicken products, but I’ll always remember them as the company that traded for George Costanza in Seinfeld, which was in the same episode as the Peterman Reality Tour!

Kramer: Well, we have a bonus ultra-reality stop today. We’re gonna be hauling muffin stumps to the local…repository.
Random Man On Bus: We’re going to a garbage dump?
Kramer: And we’re off!
Jerry: You know, I never thought he’d be able to recreate the experience of actually knowing him, but this is pretty close.

What a classic episode. But random pop culture reference aside, it looks like Tyson is offering a free Tyson Skillet Creations rebate for up to $4.99 until 10/31. Furthermore, they’ve got a printable $1 coupon to lessen the temporary hit to your wallet. Just make sure you don’t forget to actually send off for the rebate!

DoSomething.org is giving away coupons for a free Baskin Robbins soft serve cone that’s good from today until July 17th. Now, this coupon looks to be a thank you to people who did some volunteer work, so print this out at your own karmic risk. Heck, maybe just print out two or three and hand the extras to strangers who look to be having a bad day. That’s got to even things out, no?

[via Laela - thanks!]

EDIT: Just before I printed this, I noticed the fine print says this is good only for people ages 13-25. Dang it, I missed the cut off by one year! *shakes fist at Mother Nature* Anyway, thought I’d point out that slightly important detail.

Before picking up your free wienerschnitzel (ed: heh heh heh) tomorrow, you might want to consider getting a free Long John Silver’s baja fish taco. It’s available from open until 2:30pm on Tuesday, July 14 and I’m pretty sure that fish tacos and chili dogs are part of the healthy food pyramid base. They’re right alongside double-deck cheeseburgers, french fries, and deep fried Oreos. Oh, and cherry pie too, because I think fruit is important.

The title for this free Wienerschnitzel chili dog or cone is a tad misleading, so maybe the image above will help anybody who hasn’t had their morning coffee yet. As it currently implies, your two freebie options are A) a chili dog or B) a chili cone. No offense to anybody who started salivating at option B, but you’re weird.

This freebie is available from 5-8 on Tuesday, July 14, at any participating location.

Also, I think we might start putting IS in the title instead of “instore.” Maybe not though, it’s just a trial run for today.

Also also, I’m still a little boy at heart, as I giggle uncontrollably when I say wienerschnitzel. Heh heh heh.

If its an energy drink, I’ve tried it. Seriously. 5 Hour Energy? Done it. Monster’s various flavors? Had ‘em all. NOS? Of course!

So when I saw this free Venom Energy coupon? Oh boy, did I know I didn’t need it, but I still wanted it anyways!

The one good thing about this economy is that I see more and more people carrying piles of coupons with them when they go grocery shopping. This is great because most cashiers have become more accepting and patient when it comes to coupons. I no longer have to feel guilty when I hold up a line because I have 10+ coupons to scan. I still feel a little ashamed when they tell me I can’t use Monopoly money to pay for the difference, but hey, I figure some new cashier will finally give in! Who can say no to pastel money?

McDonald’s must be promoting the heck out of this offer, because a million and one Hiffers tipped me off that on Monday, July 13th, McDonald’s is giving away free hot or iced McCafé mocha. As if we needed icing on the cake, this freebie will be available for 12 hours (7am-7pm), so there shouldn’t be any huge rush during a small window of availability. And now for a cherry on top? This freebie is available on the next four Mondays! Don’t worry, I’ll post reminders each Sunday until the offer dies.

Every so often a freebie comes along that’s so simple and so perfectly online that I have to stop and wonder if its too easy. And enter the Scrub Club.

With the recent outbreaks of swine flu scaring so many people away from pigs the way Outbreak scared people away from monkeys a few years ago, the government came up with a cool idea called The Scrub Club. And parents? Now as your kids are getting ready to go back to the sniffling sneezing schools with all of the neighbor kids whom you despise (including little Jimmy-picks-his-nose down the block)? Get your kids signed up for the Scrub Club today with their printable membership card. Even more than that? Get them some cool downloads and even cooler songs about washing their hands.

Besides, with these last few weeks and some last few vacations? More coloring pages and different songs other than Rafi and Kids Bop for the backseat might be nice, right?
