Freebies and free stuff

EDIT: This freebie is no longer available.

I can’t for the life of me figure out how to better link to this free Kashi TLC chewy granola bar¹ other than this: click the link above and then click on the banner that shows up. You’ll then be taken to Kashi’s website where you can sign up. Think of the extra hoop we have to jump through as a mini-treasure hunt. Or better yet, pretend we’re dolphins! And the hoop’s on fire! And there’s an all you can eat buffet of fish on the other side!

I don’t know why I’m so excited about pretending to be a dolphin, but you’d be kidding yourself if you thought I wasn’t making clicking noises right now.

EDIT: This may be expired now.

I’m glad I checked my e-mail before going to bed, because there were two messages letting me know about a new free Lubriderm lotion offer from ShopText. Simply text the word MYSKIN to 467467 and your freebie should arrive in a few weeks.

We’ve posted some ShopText freebies in the past, so if you’ve signed up for a free account on their site already, then they have your address on file. If you haven’t signed up previously, then you’ll probably want to go ahead and do so now. Otherwise, unless ShopText has a bunch of wizards on staff, they’ll have no idea where to send your freebie!

I almost forgot that today is the first of three days for free Clarins Skin Facial Treatments at your nearest Lord & Taylors. We wrote about it last month, but in case you missed it, all you have to do is register for an appointment on-line. Space is still available at my local store, so fingers crossed it will be at yours too.

I thought about trying to get one of these freebies, but I doubt I could pull it off. I imagine my week-old beard would pose the first of many problems.

I have no idea what a Frankenstring magic trick kit is, but that’s what they’re building at the next free Lowe’s Build & Grow Clinic this Saturday, October 24 from 10-11am. Anybody with half a brain knows that magic is fantastic, so this should be a fun little toy to build. I just wish I could actually do some magic. I always end up picking the wrong card or setting my sleeve on fire.

The Associated Press is reporting that on Monday, October 26, anybody can stop in and get a free piece of grilled chicken at KFC. If you’ve been a fan of freebies for a while, you might remember they had a similar offer back in May. They were so overwhelmed with requests that they had to issue rainchecks. I guess that’s what happens when Oprah talks about it. They promise to be ready this time around, so here’s to a free lunch this coming Monday!

Also, if you’re a regular of KFC, they have a dozen or so printable coupons on their site.

Here are some free Disney Rewards Points that were posted over on the forums recently. Thanks to all the Hiffers posting over there!

1. HEART – worth 50 points
2. Watch this Blu-ray video. You can skip the intro and it’s worth 100 points. It’s rather long, so you might want to play it while you’re doing something else.

This coupon for a free small cookie & kids-sized hot chocolate at Barnes & Noble is only valid on Saturday, October 24. I especially enjoy the fine print that reads “not valid at BN.com.” Oh, really? You mean I can’t order a free cookie and hot chocolate off a book store’s website? I never would have guessed!

They have some additional coupons on there for certain items, but I’m most interested in the cookie.

With Christmas approaching faster than I’d like, it’s time to start thinking about presents and looking for coupons we can use. Because if there’s one thing I learned last year, I’m too old to give out “One Free Hug” coupons as gifts.

SmartSource has the following coupons available:

• $2.00 off for Ice Age, Ice Age 2: The Meltdown or Spaceballs DVD
• $2.00 off for Bend it Like Beckham, Aquamarine or Flicka DVD
• $5.00 off for Ice Age or Ice Age 2: The Meltdown Blu-Ray
• $5.00 off Horton Hears a Who or Spaceballs Blu-Ray

Meanwhile, Disney has three coupons available for some of their shows. The coupons are $10/2, $20/3, and $30/4 and the DVDs they can be used on are:

• Sonny with a Chance: Sonny’s Big Break
• The Suite Life on Deck: Anchors Away!
• Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana
• JONAS: Rockin’ The House

Wow. I’ve heard of all those shows. There’s something wrong with that fact.

Anybody know of any other DVD coupon offers available? If so, let us know about them in the comments!

Here’s a coupon for a free T.G.I. Friday’s appetizer with the purchase of a drink at the bar between 4pm – close. There’s no limit on the drink (it can be alcoholic or non) and the coupon expires on November 1, 2009. I guess I know where I’ll be on Halloween. To heck with giving out candy, I want free food!

There’s also a coupon for a $5 sandwich or salad for lunch, but how much do they normally cost? Is that even a decent deal?

EDIT: This is no longer available.

As seen on the Ellen Show recently, there will be 100,000 free $15 gift codes released each week until November 13, 2009 for the Kodak Gallery store. They have a ton of items for under $15, so if you shop around, you should be able to get something for free.

My mom is probably sick of all the photo albums I’ve given her as gifts over the years, but too bad! They’re full of happy, loving childhood photos of me and my siblings and she’s gonna have to cherish them whether she likes it or not!
