Free Clean Energy Sticker

MoveOn.org is giving away a free clean energy sticker that I hope was not printed by a machine which runs on electricity from a coal plant. Because that would be pretty darn ironic. I think. That stupid Alanis Morissette song from the 90s always confused me.

Free Bodycology Lotion

Walmart is giving away free Bodycology hand & body lotion again and like last time, this probably won’t last too long. They’ve got some different scents this time around, cherry blossom and raspberries & cream, so that’s nice.

Actually, that’s not nice, because now I’m craving some cherries and raspberries. This always happens to me! I don’t know how women can wear things that smell like delicious food and not start eating or gnaw their arms off. It’s probably because they’re way stronger than us guys. What, you think we make our cologne smell like sawdust because we like it?

Instore: Free Tea at Peets Coffee & Tea Today

I’ve never heard of Peets Coffee and Tea before. Not at all. But, then again, I had never heard of Espresso Royale before moving out to the midwest, so I guess its like someone from Seattle not knowing anything other than Starbucks!

Needless to say, apparently if you actually have a Peets Coffee and Tea near you–and not a licensed location–they’re giving away a free tea today between 2 and 3pm. And for everyone else who doesn’t know who or what this shop is, thankfully the link we’ve provided here has a store finder. Or, you can just go to their website and see their locations. Too bad I’ve got to work today and the Chicago stores are too far away…

Coupon: Free Mars Chocolate Bar

I was unfortunately out of town last Friday, so I wasn’t able to post this free Mars Chocolate Bar coupon then. But it’s a new Friday today! Although how many of us have any submissions left? I used up my final fourth sometime in June. Bummer.

You know, now that I think about it, there’s an empty lot near my house… I wonder how hard it’d be to build a few dozen mailboxes!

Free Lollapalooza iTunes Sampler

Late night drinking should always be done to a theme song. Seriously. I used to use Seven Mary Three’s “Strangely At Home Here,” but most recently, its been whatever show I have on Adult Swim on…

But maybe with this free iTunes download of this Lollapalooza sampler, well, maybe I can come up with a new theme song.

Or maybe when my hair grows back in fully, I’ll go back to the “Welcome Back Kotter” theme song…

Free Dog’s Life Magazine

EDIT: The link below may not be working, but here’s a secondary link to try.

I can’t tell if this free Dog’s Life magazine is only for one issue or a full subscription, but I signed up regardless. Nether of my dogs have ever shown even the slightest desire to read anything in my house, but if this is something they’d be interested in, then I’m all for it.

Huh? It’s for humans? Oh man, I hate reading.* There are always so many words!

*Not really, reading is awesome. Also, the fine print makes it sound like this is just one issue. Still, maybe it’ll have some coupons or something?

Free Fiber One Samples

I’m pretty sure this free Fiber One samples offer is new to HIF because I don’t remember getting any of the following samples before:

  • Free Fiber One Honey Clusters cereal
  • Free Fiber One Oats & Chocolate bar
  • $5 in coupons

I usually don’t like fiber products, but I love anything honey or chocolate flavored, so I’ll give these a shot. Bonus points if the coupons are also honey and/or chocolate flavored, but I’m not getting my hopes up.

Coupon: Free Arby’s BBQ Bacon Cheddar Roast Burger

And the in-store freebies keep rolling in! Thanks to everybody who sent me this coupon for a free Arby’s BBQ Bacon Cheddar Roast Burger with any soft drink purchase. What’s a small coke cost at Arby’s? $0.99? Throw in a small fry and you’ve got lunch for a shade over $2.00. And by “you’ve” I mean “I’ve” seeing as I’m starving and within walking distance of an Arby’s right now!

The coupon expires this Sunday (7/12), so you’ve got a few days to use it if you’re not in a hungry mood like I am.

Instore: Free Slurpee at 7-11 on 7/11

We are killing these in-store freebies today for some reason. It’s like today is the full moon of freebies where all the in-store offers show up and this post is no different. After you take the kids to the Lowes Build & Grow Clinic this Saturday (post below), stop by your local 7-11 on the way home for a free 7.11 ounce slurpee! They offer this freebie every year and it can sometimes be so popular that the slurpee machine is running dry by the time I stop by in the evening, so you might want to get there in the early afternoon.

Instore: Lowes Build & Grow Clinic

This Saturday is the next free Lowes Build & Grow clinic where your child can build a free treasure chest and – wait, what? This is in no way, shape, or form fair. I’m 26 and I don’t even have a treasure chest! And I love pirates! Think Lowes would mind if I showed up this weekend and partook in the clinic?
