Freebies and free stuff

THANK GOODNESS! Every time I visit home, I bring along any Box Tops For Education I’ve recently collected. Yet every time I go to pack them, I notice that only a quarter made it in the Ziploc bag I use while the rest are scattered throughout my junk drawer. Heck, whenever I’m digging through my tupperware cabinet (which is underneath my junk drawer), I find five or six freaking box tops codes. I don’t even know how they get down there or what my siblings’ schools use these for, but now there’s a free collection bin that I can sign up for in exchange for joining their newsletter.

Sunday, October 18 is National Chocolate Cupcake Day and to celebrate, Little Debbie is hosting a bunch of different giveaways. You can win a car, a million cupcakes, or more realistically one of 125,000 free boxes of cupcakes. You can enter every day between now and the weekend drawing, but if contests aren’t your thing, you can print a free $0.75 Little Debbie coupon. [IE link] [FF link]

I have some friends who might enjoy a free Make Marijuana Legal sticker. Then again, they’d probably have trouble peeling the back off and end up staring at it for a few hours.

I need some new friends.

The description for this free Playtex Sport Pack says it comes with “2 regular unscented, 1 super unscented, and a coupon for $1.00 off!” Wait, are they referring to tampons or something else? Way to not be descriptive, Playtex!

Alright, kiddies! We’ve got a sing-along post today. This one is sung to the tune of this classic song by Cookie Monster:

“C is for coupon, that’s good enough for me, C is for coupon, that’s good enough for me, C is for coupon, that’s good enough for me, oh coupon coupon coupon starts with C!”

The only bad things about meal idea books, like this free Nestle Carnation holiday recipe guide, is that you still have to cook the food in the end. Sure, a photo of what the casserole should look like, an ingredients list, and step-by-step instructions on how to make it might be enough for most people, but not me. Oh, don’t look at me that way, preheating an oven is far more complicated than it looks!

You can download the guide or opt to have it mailed to you.

EDIT: They’re now charging $0.95 for shipping, so this offer is dead.

These free feel your boobies stickers have been the only things to make me smile in the past 48 hours. What can I say, I’m still a third-grader at heart.

For those of you wondering, this is also a breast cancer related freebie that is looking to raise awareness.

EDIT: Seems like they’ve exhausted their sunglasses supply and are now giving away free bracelets instead.

Team Privacy sounds like a cheesy name for a law office’s softball team, but apparently it’s part of a breast cancer awareness program from PRVCY. In fact, they’re giving away a free pair of sunglasses to anybody who signs up. I sure can’t wait for my pink pair to arrive! … I mean, the manly black pair that I obviously ordered …

Holy moly, that flu was evil! I apologize for taking off in the middle of the week, but here’s a secret: I’m a big wimp. As soon as my temperature hits 100, I curl up in the fetal position, suck my thumb, and start crying out for my mommy. It’s also what I do when confronted with physical violence or spiders, but that’s beside the point. I’m a semi-functioning human again, so back to the freebies and thanks to everybody who sent in their regards over the past few days!

Oh, whoops, I almost forgot about the freebie. The next free Lowe’s Build & Grow Clinic is this Saturday, October 10, from 10-11am. They’ll be building a ball toss and space is limited, so register now if you think you’ll go!

When I found this free Luke Bryan download for his new album ‘Doin’ My Thing’, I wondered at first who Luke Bryan was. Then, after deciding that I didn’t really care because it was free music, I figured I should probably thank Longhorn Steakhouse too for sponsoring the free download. Needless to say, I got hungry on my way over and stopped in at Chili’s. Oops?
