Freebies and free stuff

This free Home Made Simple newsletter is said to come with “…samples, coupons, and sweepstakes offers from brands like Cascade, Dawn, Febreze, Mr. Clean, and Swiffer. Sometimes, you may even receive free samples…” I don’t normally post newsletter freebies, but seeing as how they’ve made good with a bazillion coupon books in the past, I feel confident about them actually getting some freebies.

Not that I’ve actually used any of the coupons. That would imply that I clean my apartment with any regularity. No, instead I find that moving to a new home every few months is far easier.

If you’re a fan of chew, you get request a coupon for a free pouch of sugarless Red Man tobacco. Wait, they have sugarless tobacco now? Phew, that’s fantastic! I don’t mind addictive carcinogens, but to heck if I’m willing to risk my slim physique!

As opposed to other tobacco freebies, this offer doesn’t ask for any personal info. Also, if you live in AK, CO, HI, MA, MD, MN, NE, NY, or WA then you need to promptly move because this offer isn’t available in your state.

Amazon is supposed to have their newest list of magazine deals out today, but so far all I can find is a one year subscription to O, The Oprah magazine for $5.

It’s a good deal, but make sure you don’t confuse it with O, The Ophthalmologist magazine or Oh, What A Pleasant Surprise magazine.

EDIT: Looks like they’ve changed this promotion to now require a purchase.

EDIT #2: I received a coupon in the mail for a free medium coffee, so I believe this offer is still available, but not advertised.

If you join Dunkin’ Donuts Perks program and use the promo code DDPERKSCoffee, they’ll send you a coupon for a free medium coffee. Chances are they’ll also send out periodical coupons like most rewards clubs do as well. I should probably add this offer to our Customer Reward Programs list later today.

Wait a minute… woo hoo! My To-Do list now has over 100 items! Do I win a prize?

P&G is offering a rebate that can net you two free Olay Quench body lotions. Between now and Jan. 29, buy any non-trial size and postmark the rebate by Feb. 12 to recieve a full refund. You can actually send off for two rebates, but make sure you don’t put on two layers of this lotion at once. One layer is enough to “quench” your skin’s thirst. A second layer could risk drowning it!

EDIT: And it’s Hiffed!

Finally, there’s a freebie that both myself and my vehicle can enjoy together: a free Car and Driver magazine subscription! I’m not sure what reading level she’s on, but hopefully she’ll enjoy the pictures. I’ll pull her into the garage, give her a warm bottle of fresh motor oil, and we can enjoy a nice evening together. Hopefully there’ll be a 50 question “How Compatible Are You And Your Driver” quiz in the back. Those are always fun.

Much like a rain dance, I’m now inventing a freebie dance to perform whenever there’s a freebie drought. It involves me jumping up and down on one foot, waving my arms around wildly, and making odd noises that only baboons would understand. My friends say it’s the same dance I perform in clubs, which might explain why I’m currently single.

Seeing as how the freebie dance is still a work in progress, I put together a random coupon post. Enjoy!

Grocery Coupons

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter – Actually, I can very easily believe it’s not butter, but that won’t stop me from saving $1/1. It prints an abnormally large color ad at the bottom of the page, so you might want to shut your printer off after the coupon has printed. (FF) (IE)

Kraft: They have four $.55/1 coupons available for products like Velveeta cheese, Philly cream cheese, and Breakstone sour cream.

Luigi’s Real Italian Ice – The only person I’ve ever met named Luigi was a plumber who battled evil turtles. He was a bit of a goofball, so if he had anything to do with these free coupons, I think I’ll steer clear.

Lunchables – If you promise to send a note to your child in their lunch, you can get a $1 off coupon and Lunchables will donate a free meal to a child in need.

Nestle: Get $1/1 Toll House Refrigerated cookie dough, $.50/2 cans of carnation evaporated milk, and $.50/2 Toll House morsels. Is there anything better than fresh chocolate chip cookies during Christmas time? I guess chocolate chip pie would suffice. Or chocolate cake. I wouldn’t scoff at chocolate brownies either.

Various Cereals: Coupons.com has a boat load of cereal coupons available, including $1/2 any flavor Chex, $0.75 off Kix, and $1 off Special K Blueberry.

Health & Beauty Coupons

Clean & Clear – $2 off any Clean & Clear product, excluding travel sizes. (FF) (IE)

Degree: Save $1/1 on their Women Fragrance. And I’m sorry, but I cannot confirm nor deny the rumor that I ran out of my usual deodorant and am now using a stick of this that belonged to an ex. It sure does smell good though, I can see why y’all…oh crap, shut up Goob! (FF) (IE)

Jergens: Get $1.50 off their Sensitive Skin Relief Fragrance Free Daily Moisturizer (oh, come on!). You know, if their model has such sensitive skin, she probably shouldn’t be wearing a nightgown while chilling in a hammock during a snowstorm. But what do I know?

Lady Speed Stick – Apparently this brand is owned by Colgate, which I previously thought was just a toothpaste company. Whatever you do, make sure you don’t get these two products mixed up. Oh yeah, the coupon is $1/1 and can be found in the bottom left.

Neosporin – Save $3/1 Neosporin Lip Health product (FF) (IE)

Clothing Coupons

Bath & Body Works: Make any purchase before Dec. 30 and get a free travel size item, worth up to $5.

The Limited – Save $15 off a $15 purchase, among other possible savings. Hurry though, the coupon expires on Dec. 13!

Miscellaneous Coupons

Wet Ones Wipes: Take a pledge to help stop the spread of germs and get a $1.50 coupon.

Right @ Home: They have a variety of different offers available, including $1/1 Windex, BOGO Glade PlugIns Refill (up to $3.99), and $0.55/1 Drano.

Tide: They have two coupons available via the Special Offer section of their Facebook page: $1.50 off Tide Stain Release and $1 off Tide with a Touch of Downy.

Adam posted this free BeingGirl sample kit back in February, so I’m not sure if it ever comes or not as I let him handle that one. I’ve gotten enough feminine products to last me a lifetime!

Wait, if the bully who used to tease me in primary school reads that, he’ll think I use feminine products. Just to be clear, I had enough even when I owned zero of them. Seriously! I don’t need them! Ugh, he’s never going to believe me. I should go practice curling in the fetal position and crying for mommy; it’s the only way to deal with him!

The kit includes:

• 2 Tampax Pearl Tampons
• 1 Compak Pearl Tampon
• 1 Always Infinity Maxi-Pad
• 2 Always Pantiliners
• 1 Always Feminine Wipe

EDIT: And it’s dead!

RewardsGold is offering another free subscription to U.S. News & World Report magazine, but I already get three subscriptions to this for some reason. Despite calling U.S. News, I still receive multiple copies every month, each with a different misspelled variation of my name. So I’m now putting the extra copies to good use by making practice ransom letters!

I figure it’s only a matter of time before I convince myself to steal a rare artifact, so at the very least I should be ready. As I learned six years ago, making these notes are pretty darn time consuming! (My God, how did I ever graduate from college?) As to what I’m going to steal, I think I’ve settled on Mount Rushmore. Nobody will see it coming and it’s barely protected!

Close that spreadsheet and hang a “Do Not Disturb” sign on your cubicle, because we’ve got hours worth of new music to listen to! That’s a worthy enough excuse for not doing any work, right?

There’s a newly released free iTunes holiday sampler with 20 songs from artists such as Toby Keith, Barry Manilow, Stephen Colbert(!), and Weezer.

Next up, Nylon magazine is giving away 27 free winter songs and somebody explain to me what in the world this means. How can they be winter songs? Are they dreary, cold, and depressing? If so, sign me up! Maybe they’ll be the final straw to force me to move to the tropics.

Finally, there are 20 free Starbucks Sampler songs available through iTunes’ Facebook page. You have to become a fan of theirs before you can even see what the songs are, so I’ve listed them below the jump for your convenience.
