Free Aveeno Tote Bag

Martha Stewart is giving away free Aveeno tote bags that retail for $8 and they better be worth it. I was rather suspicious about this offer and spent a while trying to make sure it was legit, but Martha’s own site links to it (fourth item down), so I feel good about it.

I also feel good about what I plan to eat for lunch. There’s no way I’ll regret having a giant bowl of chili later on. No siree, I can’t see any way that could be a bad decision!

Free Pillsbury 2010 Calendar

Can plants die from too much watering? Somebody who obviously doesn’t know me that well recently gave me a plant and I’m now hellbent on keeping this sucker alive. It’s well hydrated, I’m giving it plenty of sunlight, and I even built a little bed for it to sleep in.

Huh? Oh, yeah this has nothing to do with a free Pillsbury 2010 calendar you can sign up for. Sorry about that. But as you can probably tell, I’m pretty focused on not killing something.

OH NO, a leaf just fell off! I gotta go!

Free Disney Rewards Codes All Month

EDIT: These codes are only valid for 24 hours, so BLASTER no longer works. However todays code (12/3) is WREATH.

Disney is releasing a new code every day for their free rewards program and like the free Amazon songs, we’ll be posting each days code on the forums. Today’s code is BLASTER and will net you 5 points.

I’d like to know who gets to come up with these codes. Is that a full-time job over at Disney? If so, how do I apply? I promise I could come up with some great words. FLIMFLAM. LAZER (it must have a z instead of an s). CANOODLE. All potential words I’d employ. Disney, call me, I’m free to start any time.

Free KLM Personalized Luggage Tag

In February of 2007, I posted a free KLM personalized luggage tag – three years later and I’m still waiting on mine! When the offer popped up again last month, I obviously steered clear, however people have sent me pictures of their recently received tags. I guess KLM got their act together and made this a legit offer!

With my luck, the goofy photo I used will somehow get me detained in a foreign country. I’ve only been held once before, but that wasn’t really my fault. How was I to know that putting “drug kingpin” as my occupation wouldn’t be interpreted as a funny joke?

More Free Holiday Music

I hope you’re not getting sick of the free Christmas music, because Amazon is holding a 25 Days of Free event where they’ll unveil a new holiday song available to download free for a limited time. Yesterday’s free song was “Joy to the World” by Casting Crowns and today’s hasn’t come out yet. I’ll be posting each day’s new song over on the forums, but for now, I’m off to bed! It’s 2:40 in the morning and either I’m hallucinating from lack of sleep or my bird just whistled “go to bed if you know what’s good for you.” Fantastic. Now I’m scared of every single animal I own.

Free Eat Better America 2010 Calendar

In order to get this free Eat Better America 2010 calendar from Betty Crocker, you have to sign up for their newsletter. I don’t know about you, but I have a gajillion e-mail accounts signed up for their newsletters thanks to all of the freebies they’ve given away.

I feel bad for the archive team that will have to piece together my entire past after I die. Sure, everybody will want a complete record of the guy who saved the world from mutant zebras, but I’m not sure they realize how how many throwaway e-mail accounts I own.

IS: Free Aerie Chocolate Bar on Thursdays

december-aerie-freebie

December is now here (wow, really?), which means there’s a new Aerie in-store freebie available every Thursday. This month they’re offering a free comfort & joy chocolate bar that retails for $9.50 and who pays ten bucks for a chocolate bar?! Are there flakes of gold in it? Will it give me a back massage? Either way, I’ve added it to the new freebie calendar so that we can remember to get our diamond-filled chocolate all this month.

You have to be a member of their A-lister club, however you can join on-line or in-store for free and get your freebie the same day! You may want to call ahead and make sure your local store has some left in supply before heading out.

Free Redbox Rental Code

redbox-logo

For the rest of today, you can use the Redbox rental code of SPNSV9 to rent a free movie. I just picked one up, but I’m not telling which it is. All I’ll say is that it has individuals in it who are humorous. You might say they’re funny people and … doh! The code should work through 12/2, so use it quickly!

If you’re new to Redbox, check out the Redbox Explanation Guide that covers all the basics of how to use the free rental codes as well as some personal tips & tricks I’ve discovered to help maximize your freebie movies.

Free Lifetime Overnight Shipping on Zappos

I don’t buy many shoes and have only used Zappos.com twice before, but for the next 863 minutes you can sign up for a free VIP membership, which gives you free overnight shipping for life. I figured I should sign up just in case I marry a woman addicted to shoes or decide to finally buy some new boots next year.

863 minutes from now happens to be midnight, so you’ve got until then to sign up!
