Freebies and free stuff

EDIT: Darn, this is no longer available.

Finally! Somebody has taken the lead and added six more months to the oncoming year. At least that’s what this free 18-month Danica Patrick calendar means to me. Just imagine how much more I’ll be able to not get accomplished with all that extra time to procrastinate!

There’s no space for your address, so I just put mine in the comment section. We’ll see if it ever comes, but it only took 10 second to sign up for, so no harm if it flakes out.

EDIT: They’ve pulled the coupon down, so YMMV if you printed it beforehand.

This coupon for a free 12 oz. coffee, cappuccino, hot chocolate, or tea at 7/11 doesn’t expire until 10/31. Regrettably, you have to go to the store to cash in on this offer. Well to heck with that! It’s mid-October now, which means my self-imposed hibernation has kicked in. I hate the cold weather so much that I refuse to leave my house from now until late March. It’s a strict regimen but on the bright side it makes me enough of a bear to give me that okay to roar at anything in sight. My dogs usually get used to it by January.

EDIT: Looks like they’re out of supplies.

This freebie may be called Exclusively Dog Cookies, but I take offense to companies telling me that their products are exclusively for anything. Isn’t that up for me to decide? I almost think I should eat these cookies myself to prove the point.

EDIT: This album is no longer free.

Here’s yet another free bit of music from Amazon, this time being The Best Of The Most Relaxing Classical Music In The Universe. That’s a pretty bold statement, if you ask me. The best in the entire Universe?! How do you know there isn’t another intelligent species out there with music that’s so relaxing it instantly puts you to sleep? You can’t! Well, either that, or Amazon knows something I don’t.

The album has 15 songs and includes some popular ones, such as Claire De Lune, Fur Elise, and Canon In D. Plus, Amazon still has over 1,400 free songs, which is 200 more than last month. Between that and my favorite streaming radio station, I haven’t heard the same song in months!

EDIT: The Travel & Leisure is no longer available, but many of the ones listed below still are.

Just thinking about this free two year subscription to Travel & Leisure magazine makes me want to kick back and relax for the rest of the afternoon. Then again, just about anything makes me want that. In fact, why shouldn’t I?! It’s not like I missed most of last week or anythi… oh, right.

The offer is through the magnificent RewardsGold. They’ve also got a few other offers that are still available from this summer:

• free Business Week subscription
• free Golf Digest subscription
• free Town & Country subscription
• free Out subscription
• free The Advocate subscription

Know of any others that are still working? Then please share in the comments!

EDIT: They’re out of their 30,000 samples!

Wait a minute…this free Little Duck Organics baby food isn’t actually made from little ducks, right? I admit, I’m not up to date on the current organic trends, but I’m hoping making food out of baby ducks isn’t the latest craze. We have to put our foot down someplace, people! I’m not afraid to lead the way and be the first to say no to feeding cute, adorable ducks to our children! Who’s with me?!

EDIT: No longer available.

Que Rica Vida is a Hispanic magazine of General Mills and it comes with free General Mills coupons! I’m guessing all of them will be in Spanish, but they can’t be that hard to decipher and if they are, it’ll give me the perfect conversation starter with the cute checkout girl.

My last attempt didn’t go so well. Come on, how was I supposed to know that she wouldn’t be interested in the funny looking rash on my chest? It looked like The Fonz!

Pepboys has a coupon available for a free Seasonal Prep Evaluation that doesn’t expire until 10/31 and is worth $29.98 in free maintenance.

• Check Exterior Lights
• Check Wipers
• Complete Coolant System Evaluations
• Battery/Starting/and Charging System Evaluation

Is any of that stuff really needed? I don’t know, it seems like they’re just trying to get you into the store so that they can sell you some more services. Then again, I’m the guy who drove his car for 7,000 miles without an oil change in high school, so what the heck do I know?

EDIT: They sent me a polite letter asking that I take down the offer since we Hiffed it.

Free clothing offers never tend to last, so I expect this free hat or t-shirt offer from 4Moms to be dead by the time I wake up. Though that’s a weird emotion to expect in the am. Mornings are meant to be full of hope and rebirth – “ah, it’s a brand new day! I’m gonna make sure it’s a good one today and…oh yeah, there’s a dead freebie I need to take care of…” It’s like waking up to a dead rat in your pool. No fun.

They want a picture of you in exchange for the clothing item. Seems like a fair trade. I sent in a copy of the picture I drew of myself on a Unicorn jumping over a rainbow. I printed out 500 copies of them and am having the hardest time giving them away for some reason!

One of the offers that started while I was busy sleeping last week was Kellogg’s new $10 Bonus Bucks promotion. You have until 09/30/10 to do the following:

• Buy three (3) specially marked boxes of Kellogg’s® cereal and collect the codes inside each box.
• Enter codes at Kellogg Bonus Bucks.
• Receive your $10 Bonus Bucks certificate by mail.
• Redeem your certificate at a variety of participating retailers.

So basically buy three boxes of cereal and get a $10 giftcard that can be used at certain stores like Target, Walmart, Toys R Us, and more. Not too bad, especially considering that I go through three boxes of Frosted Mini-Wheats a day. I only eat a bowl every morning, but I use the rest to throw at people walking in front of my apartment every day. Makes for a perfect way to pass the time and let your neighbors know what you think of them!

The four participating cereals are Frosted Flakes, Froot (sic) Loops, Mini-Wheats and Raisin Bran. Also, Redplum has a $1.50/2 coupon for Mini-Wheats that can be applied towards this!
