Rebate: $10 From Kraft

Kraft is running yet another rebate promotion and that scream you just heard was my intestines threatening to strangle me if I buy any more cheese in a can. The current deal is $10 back if you buy any 10 of the following items:

  • Nabisco Crackers (7-16.5 oz.)
  • Easy Cheese
  • Planters Nuts (9.25-21.25 oz.)

Here’s a direct link to the rebate form and all purchases need to be made between Dec. 1 and Jan. 31.

Free 2010 Italian Food Calendar

EDIT: They are now out of calendars.

This free 2010 Italian food calendar from Dilallo will not only help you keep track of important dates (like my birthday!), but it comes with coupons and recipes as well. The only thing that would make this calendar better is if all of the pictures were scratch-and-sniff.

Although, if you want an idea for how well I cook, here’s how you can play at home. Upon receiving the calendar, find the most delicious looking meal, scratch the heck out of it, and then enjoy the aroma of slightly burnt paper. No matter what dish I make, they all tend to smell that way and only taste slightly better!

Free Stacy’s Simply Naked Pita Chips

Wait, didn’t AllYou magazine give away free Stacy’s Simply Naked pita chips recently? I’m having a strong case of deja vu right now. Thankfully, I got a “you’ve already signed up for this offer” message when I attempted to just now, so I guess I’m not going crazy! If you missed this offer last month or perhaps moved since then, have at it!

At time of publication, they have 36,258 samples remaining. Also, make sure to select “No, thanks. I don’t want to subscribe. Just send me the requested free samples” on page two of the signup form.

December 2009 HIF Contest #1 Winners

The first December 2009 contest wrapped up last night and this morning I used Random.org to pull out four random winners for the $25 Starbucks giftcards:

  • Jenna K.
  • Rhonda A.
  • Ashley ?
  • Susan C.

So congratulations! You four have e-mails from me in your inbox and I’d like to thank everybody who entered into the contest. If you notice, I called this the first December contest and that’s because the next one will start later this week. If you didn’t win this time, there’s nothing stopping you from winning the next one!

Free Smead SuperTab Folders

EDIT: Darn it, we killed that one fast!

Folks, I have a confession to make: I have an unhealthy addiction to office supplies. For some reason, I love surrounding myself with white out, pens, fancy staplers, and soon these free Smead SuperTab folders. I don’t even have any important papers to file! If my filing cabinet caught fire, I guarantee you I wouldn’t miss a single document.

Just for fun, I rummaged through it and the first folder I pulled out contained my tax returns from high school. Yep, I’m glad I kept these for over a decade! I’m sure one day I’ll need to know that in 1998, I made $452. Pheew. Crisis averted!

Multiple ShopText Freebies

Food Lion and ShopText have teamed up to give away a few freebies, all of which can be found below. It’s worth noting that I’m not sure if these are Food Lion coupons or manufacturer coupons, but I’m posting this regardless. Hopefully it won’t matter and you have a Food Lion nearby :)

Free Mean Green Hand Soap

mean-green-mascot-header

EDIT: This freebie is no longer available.

I automatically support any product that promises to be angry and/or extreme, so how could I pass on free Mean Green hand soap? Just look at their mascot! We need a mascot like that for HIF.1

He looks tough enough to beat me up, although that’s not saying much. Just yesterday I knocked myself out by getting tangled in my coat and stumbling into the door. Then last night, I gave myself a black eye while cheering for a Packers touchdown. I thought about covering my entire house in bubble wrap, but it was too expensive.

They’re a small company, so I’d suggest only requesting this freebie if you’re truly interested in the soap and might purchase it in the future.

  1. And preferably one that doesn’t have a freaking grammatical error in it! []

Reminder: Contest Ends Tonight

Just a friendly heads up that the current contest for four Hiffers to win $25 Starbucks giftcards ends tonight at midnight. If you haven’t already made your submission, you might want to go ahead and do so!

IS: Free Calvin Klein Cologne Sample

In order to get this free Calvin Klein cologne, click “get a sample” at the bottom of the page, print out the postcard, and then take it to any Belk, Bon Ton, Dillard’s or Macy’s to receive a ckfree sample.

The best1 part is that you get to watch a short, cliche-filled video before reaching the signup form! “The best thing about getting lost is what you find along the way. Here or there; I’m just going. Anywhere I end up, I’m just free.” Amen, brother! I have no freaking idea what you’re talking about, but I’m sure it has to do with smelling fresh.

Although, for future reference, may I make a suggestion? If you find yourself driving through the middle of a desert devoid of any paved road, I’m going to say you’re a bit too lost. The only things you’re going to find is an overheated radiator and a painful hike back to civilization.

Coupon: Free Stacy’s Pita Chips

EDIT: They’re well over 65k fans now, so this offer is dead.

The first 65,000 fans on Stacy’s Facebook page will get a coupon for free Stacy’s Pita Chips, up to $3.99 value. They currently only have 17k fans, so unless your Internet is powered by a hamster, you should be one of the lucky folks who get a coupon.

Did you know HIF is on Facebook? Oh, you did? Well look at you, Mrs. Knowitall! If you’re so smart, what am I thinking of right now? Oh my…how did you know it was pumpernickel bread?! Quick, somebody call the Seventeenth Century, we’ve got a witch to take care of!
