Freebies and free stuff

EDIT: Okay, so now they are saying to RSVP at the link below and then go to this link where the submit form is. Only problem is that their server is overwhelmed right now, so you’ll have to keep trying to reload the page just be patient and let the page load.

Alright, the details on this are still a bit vague to me, but here’s what I understand so far. At 2:00 EST on Friday, October 2 through Tuesday, October 6, you can have a chance to get one of 50,000 free Herbal Essences coupons for a free 12oz. product. That means they’re giving away 12,500 each day and the first giveaway starts in about 2 minutes. Go to the link above and click on the RSVP option over on the right hand side.

The rules don’t say whether or not you have to also become a fan of Herbal Essences on Facebook, but it can’t hurt I guess. You know what else can’t hurt? Becoming a fan of HIF. However, dropping a giant box full of books on your foot most certainly can hurt. I think it was punishment for not having read half of the books.

EDIT: They’re out of freebies

Walmart’s latest offer of free Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition shampoo & conditioner has me confused. Is this in any way related to high-fructose corn syrup and if so, can I eat it? Just think of all the possibilities of an edible shampoo!

1. You could eat it.
2. You could wash you hair with it.

Okay, so that’s not as many options as I imagined, but it’s still 100% more versatile than my currently shampoo. Hiffer scientists, get on this!

EDIT: Some Hiffers are reporting in the comments that after taking this survey, it won’t submit. So I’d consider this to be dead.

If you’re thinking about making any semi-big purchases in October, you may want to consider taking this fairly long survey in exchange for a free month subscription to ConsumerReports.org. They’re a non-profit consumer agency that reviews everything from digital cameras to lawnmowers to dishwashers and they’re quite blunt if a product is superb, average, or downright atrocious. Kinda like me. I’m not afraid to tell it like it is! Just as long as it doesn’t bother anybody. I wouldn’t want to hurt their feelings.

I personally didn’t take this survey, as I already have a subscription with them, but others have said it’s a bit on the long side. Still, it’s a good deal if you want a second opinion before buying something.

Given that it’s the start of a new month, Coupons.com recently updated their selection as well as reset their print count. Here are some of the free coupons that I just printed out:

• Bausch & Lomb ReNu MultiPlus Solution – $1/1 (Way too many ill-placed capital letters in there.)
• Claritin-D Non-Drowsy (15 count or larger) – $3/1
• Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers frozen vegetables – $.50/1
• Honey Nut Cheerios cereal – $.50/1 (If you signed up for the free Honey Nut Cheerios sample a while back, it also comes with a free $1/1 coupon.)
• Keebler Sandwich Crackers – $.55/1
• Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters – $1/1 (If you missed the free sample they offered a while back, be sure to sign up for it. I’m hooked on these thanks to it!)
• Pillsbury Crescent Dinner Rolls – $.50/2
• Progresso Soups – $1.10/3
• Special K Crackers (4.62 oz. or Larger, Any Flavor) – $1/1
• Starbucks Ice Cream – $1/1

They’ve got over 120 new free coupons, so chances are you’ll be able to find a few that you can use!

The title on this free (red) badge page says “Badge Yourself Red.” While setting up this post, I started saying that out loud over and over. It quickly started to sound like “Badger Self Read,” and it didn’t take long for me to then picture a badger lounging in an easy chair and reading a book. There’s a fire crackling in the background, he’s wearing a robe and small pair of reading glasses, and there’s even a glass of wine sitting on the table. He’s an refined badger, unlike those crazy wild ones.

I don’t know why but that image makes me laugh and I hope everyone out there is now picturing the same image in their head. You’re welcome!

EDIT: Looks like we cleaned out their supply! Get it? Hello? Is this thing on?

As with other Sam’s Club freebies, this free Clorox Disinfecting Wipes offer requires a Membership Number, but will take all zeros. I wish everything in life was that easy. Can’t remember your work’s street address? All zeros! What’s your friend’s new phone number again? All zeros! How much money is in your checking account? All zer…wait a minute…
