It’s 2:30 and I’ve found a whopping two freebies, both of which I actually found late last night. In other words, it’s a slow freebie day. So when I found this free Orange Mountain Philip Glass album
At least now I’ll have something to help get the song I mentioned on Facebook out of my head while I futilely hunt for freebies.
EDIT: Unfortunately their supplies have been exhausted.
Folks, somebody broke into my house and ate all of the Halloween candy I’m supposed to give out tomorrow. And, uh, they … okay, I confess, it was me, but it wasn’t my fault! Okay, maybe it was my fault, but there was a good reason! Fine, you got me, there wasn’t a good reason, but I was hungry and there was nothing else to eat! Oh stop looking at me that way, I admit it, I wasn’t even hungry and my pantry is stocked. Dang, you’re good at this – are you sure you’re not a cop?
As soon as this free John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Liquid Shine Illuminating shampoo and conditioner arrives, I’ll use it to wash the shame off.
EDIT: This is no longer available, but I’m glad so many Hiffers were able to get some discounted shoes!
Yesterday, Oprah gave away a coupon for 50% off any Payless shoes and it’s only valid for today, Friday, October 30. I just forwarded this to my brother, as his current shoes have more duct tape than actual shoe. It does have some benefits though. The last time we were out together, I didn’t have money for the parking meter and he happened to have $0.35 stuck to his soles!

One of the side effects of running a freebie site for almost four years is that I often see an offer and go, “oh, yeah, we’ve already posted that.” Then a few hours later I inevitably question my memory and check out the freebie a bit more in depth. If you don’t see where I’m going with this, then we need to have a little talk.
After signing up for this free Sun Crystals all-natural sweetener, you’re also given the option to print a free $1 off coupon for your next purchase. The previous Sun Crystals freebies came with a few coupons. If this one does as well and you print the coupon, you’ll probably be able to get a full-sized pack for very cheap.
The five free Nescafe Taster’s Choice gourmet single-serve coffee flavors are Vanilla, Colombian, Original, Decaff, and Hazelnut. I call foul! How is “original” a flavor? Okay, maybe it’s the coffee equivalent of plain, like vanilla ice cream, but then what does that make vanilla coffee? Chocolate ice cream? And wait a minute, decaff isn’t a flavor either! Unless it’s like sugar-less ice cream. Hazelnut translates both ways and I guess Colombian is like cocaine ice cream.
What? That’s not a real flavor? Oh… that’s why the local ice cream parlor was raided last year.
Many Walgreens have Brita water pitchers on clearance for $8.49 right now. When purchased, they give out $3 in Register Rewards for a future purchase and there’s also a printable $5 coupon for any Brita system which brings the final price down to $0.49!
In order to get the coupon, look for a link in the “Go Green, Save Green” box. You’ll have to signup on the site for a free account and then you’ll be prompted to print out the coupon. Also, some people have mentioned that their local Walgreens were already sold out of the Brita, so you might want to call ahead.

If you missed the first offer or didn’t use your code in time, Kodak has released 100,000 more free $15 gift codes. Unfortunately, the discount doesn’t apply to shipping and you can’t receive another free $15 if you got one during the first two rounds. However, we’ve gotten a bunch of new readers recently and you can still net some really nice items on the cheap. Like before, once all the codes are given out for this phase, 40% off codes will be given away. If you were the recipient of a 40% code last time, then you’re allowed to come back during this or the next phase and get the free $15 code.
Judging from traffic stats and comments on the previous post, a ton of Hiffers took advantage of this offer last time. What’s everybody buying? I need ideas 
When you buy two drinks and one burger between now and Nov. 23 at Denny’s , you can get a second burger & fries meal free. This only works for couples as I doubt they’ll let one really hungry person get two burgers.
You might be able to pull it off if you bring a fake mustache though. Every time the waiter comes, move to the other side of the table and say your friend went to the bathroom. It probably wouldn’t hurt to throw in a fake accent for one of the characters as well!

Free music from Amazon is starting to become a routine event and I couldn’t be happier. The three albums below have 28 free songs in all and there’s a little something for everybody.
The funny thing is that I download all this free music and then promptly forget about it. Months later, iTunes will shuffle past one of the songs and it’s like a brand new discovery. “Hey, I’ve never heard this before! Cool, new music!”
What can I say, I get excited over small things. If I find a quarter on the ground, it’s easily the highlight of my week.
The free Betty Crocker potatoes offer is back for anybody who missed it last time. You can choose between Au Gratin and Roasted Garlic, but only if you’re new to General Mills’ newsletter. I’ve already signed up every e-mail account I own to their newsletter, which means I only have one option left; start opening new accounts solely for the free potatoes!
I wonder if that previous sentence has ever been uttered before.
I know a lot of Hiffers, like myself, participate in the MyCokeRewards program. Despite these three free points we can get in exchange for watching a video, I have to wonder, am I ever going to have enough points to get a decent prize? I’ve been saving up for almost two years now and the best prize I can get is a freaking Coke tote bag. No offense Coke, but I don’t tote that much stuff.
We’re only a few days away from Halloween and so I thought I’d whip up a post of freebies that are available this coming Saturday. Apparently I’m now too old to steal my siblings candy, so I’ll have to take advantage of a few of the freebies below.
Free Black Jack Taco – Taco Bell is giving away tacos from 6pm until midnight.
Free Chipotle Burrito – After leaving Taco Bell, drive over to Chipotle between 6pm and close to get a free burrito. You have to dress up as a burrito in order to get a freebie, but last year my brother just wrapped a loop or two of tin foil on his head and he was good to go. Unfortunately he’s still wearing it as I convinced him I have telepathic powers.
Free Lamination at Mardel – I’ve never heard of Mardel, but apparently they’re a Christian and education store in Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. And the best part is that they’re offering free lamination of anything up to 50 feet. If I lived near a store, I’d take them up on this offer in a heartbeat and laminate the most mundane items. via Freebies 4 Mom – thanks!
Free Event & Prizes at Michaels – From 10am-noon, stop in at your local Michaels to get a free trick-or-treat pail. Plus, they’ll have a free coloring activity with free Crayola Model Magic Fusion and build a Make-It Take-It Halloween frame. Children will also receive a balloon and candy because that’s exactly what they need on Halloween – an early start on the sugar intake followed by a helium chaser!
Free Menchies Frozen Yogurt – Available on Friday and Saturday, you can get a free frozen yogurt at participating stores if you print out a silly hat and wear it in. There’s a slideshow of people wearing the hat on their site and I must say, those people look way too happy and shameless. via Rain – thanks!
Free Toys R Us Treats and Giveaways – I have no idea what “treats and giveaways” mean, but that’s what will be given away from noon-3pm on Halloween. The press release I linked to is long, but here’s the good stuff:
Toys”R”Us stores nationwide will host Trick “R” Treat events on Halloween, complete with costume parades, complimentary treats and giveaways.
As always, you might want to call ahead and make sure your local store is participating.
Bass Pro Shop Freebies – On Friday from 4-7pm there will be a trick-or-treat event throughout the store with a kids’ costume parade at 6pm. Then on Halloween from noon-4pm, there will be mask decorating, marshmallow roasting, and sample dutch over apple cobbler. I one time dropped a mini-dutch oven in a river as a kid. Well, it wasn’t so much “dropped” as “used it as a submarine for my army men.” I got away with it too – sorry, Dad!
Free Mattel Toy at Sears – Bring your child in to any Toy Shop at Sears and get a free Mattel toy. In addition, they have a $5 off $20 toy purchase coupon available. It’s valid between now and 11/1, so you could use it for a Christmas present or something. Be sure to click the red “click for store locations” on their site to see if your store is participating. It looks like mainly stores in California and Illinois are in on the offer, though I suspect any store will take the coupon.
Free YoCrunch Yogurt Coupon – For up to two weeks after Halloween, you can send in any candy wrappers in exchange for a coupon good for any YoCrunch yogurt. Yea! Eat candy and then get free candy yogurt! You’ll probably want to include a note with your address on it as well. Wrappers can be sent to the following address:
Shaina Zalma
YoCrunch
9507 Santa Monica Blvd., Suite 300
Beverly Hills, CA 90210
Discount Sonic Food – I couldn’t find anything official My local Sonic said they were participating in an offer to sell $0.50 corndogs from 5pm-midnight on Halloween. Nicole from Savvy Shopper was kind enough to forward me some official info that shows this is a nationwide event!
Free Brunswick Bowling Coupons – And finally, don’t forget about the free Brunswick Bowling coupons that we posted a few weeks ago. They don’t expire until Nov. 24 and while they’re intended to be given out as Halloween treats, there’s nothing stopping you from saving a few for yourself
*NEW* Macy’s Events – Looks like Macy’s has a ton of offers on Saturday. To start, the first 100 people in the store will receive a free $10 gift card. At 11am, there will be a coolest costume contest at 11am and free face painting at the makeup counters all day long. (hopefully with scary paintings, not makeup) And finally, everybody gets a free trick-or-treat bag while supplies last.
So there you have it – all of the confirmed freebies I could find. Know of any I missed?
These free PowerBar gel blasts almost scare me. Look at all the power blasting from each gel. There’s no way my body will be able to handle one of those. I sit in front of a computer all day long and read a few thousand words. A handful of peanuts is all it takes to keep me going through the day. I do have a cell phone that won’t hold a charge anymore though… I wonder if I can jam one of these gels in there somehow…
They force you to join their newsletter, so I forced it to go to my freebie e-mail account. You might want to do the same.
Not content with giving away free toys on Halloween (more on that soon!), Sears is also giving away a free Halloween-themed portrait collage worth $44! You’ve got until Saturday, October 31 to use the coupon and the fine print says nothing about making an additional purchase.* So if your kid looks especially cute in their costume this year (and come on, how can they not?), you might want to take advantage of this.
*According to Freebies 4 Mom, some people have had mixed success with this. If you’re interested, make sure to call your local store and confirm they’re participating.
CVS currently has Campbell’s soup on sale for 2/$1. Coupons.com is hosting a free $1/2 coupon (IE link) (FF link), meaning you can get free Campbell’s soup! CVS has a limit of 6 cans, so if you have access to multiple computers, print out a few extra coupons.
I don’t know about you, but it’s gray, dreary, and rainy where I live and soup sounds fantastic for lunch. Now if I can just find a store giving away free grilled cheese sandwiches, I’d be in business.
