Free Workout Mix

Subway and The Biggest Loser are offering a free workout mix that contains 12 pumped up songs. Heck, I can feel the pounds melting away while I sit here listening to it. That’s how it works, right?

It’s 129megs in size, so you might not want to download it if you’re on a slow Internet connection.

Free Teekanne Tea

EDIT: Looks like this offer has expired.

I’ve taken an odd liking to tea recently, which is even stranger when you consider how loyal I once was to coffee. But there’s something calming about watching the water boil before steeping a strong cup of tea in the morning. I guess that explains why I’m so excited over this free Teekanne tea, which you can get by using the code WELLNESS.

I personally went with Triple Mint Tranquility, but only because its acronym is one letter off from TMNT. I should probably stop making decisions based on my memory of childhood cartoons. Otherwise, it’s only a matter of time before I have a son and name him Egon.

$5 Magazines: All Healthy Stuff

Amazon is not only carrying over their $5 magazine deals from the holiday season (woo!), but they’re also climbing aboard the crowded “get fit” bandwagon by offering magazines tailored to a healthy lifestyle (boo!). This week’s deals are:

I don’t know how people are able to read these things while they work out. I tried reading a copy of “Runner’s World” while jogging the other night and ran straight into a tree.

Free Emergen-C Alert

What’s with the rotating image on the free Emergen-C Alert page? It brought back a flood of memories of my first website ever, launched in 1997. Fun fact: it had approximately 27 times more spinning / animated images than words.

I never did figure out why that site flopped.

Free Food for Adopted Dogs

If you happened to adopt a dog in 2009 and have the paperwork to back it up, you can score a free month’s supply of food from Pedigree. Coincidentally, I’m looking for a new home myself and would love to be taken in. I make a great companion in bed, I bark at mailmen, and I’ve been known to eat any leftover food from dinner.

I’m still working on the housebroken part.

Free Post-It Durable Tabs

EDIT: These are no longer available.

Am I the only person tempted by these free Post-It durable tabs to test just how durable they really are? I guarantee you I’ll end up ripping mine within ten minutes. Sure, I’ll console myself by making a guttural roar and pretend to be a giant while doing so, but in the end I’m still out a freebie.

Free Nicorette Cinnamon Gum

Costco is offering 20 pieces of free Nicorette cinnamon gum, which I promptly sent to my brother. He may not listen to me when I tell him to quit, but he can’t ignore the power of freebies!

Well, technically, he can ignore anything he darn well pleases now that he’s an adult. I miss the simpler times when we were younger and I could get him to do anything I wanted with nothing more than a mean glare and a raised fist. Ahhh, the good ole’ days…

Free Stevia Sweetener

EDIT: This has died for the second time.

My grandma used to joke that I was so sweet, I should dunk my finger in her coffee so she wouldn’t have to use sugar. Then one day I did so in a freshly poured cup and promptly burned myself. That’s when I realized my grandma was trying to kill me.

If you don’t want your kids to begin anti-psychological warfare training at the age of 5, do yourself a favor and sign up for some free Stevia sweetener.

Free Escada Marine Groove Perfume

EDIT: This is no longer available.

I love when freebies give you an order number to track your sample with, like how this free Escada Marine Groove perfume does. It makes me feel classy. While waiting for the freebie to arrive, I always end up putting on my tuxedo, twirling my cane, and calling everybody “chap” in a British accent.

Free Slim Fast Peanut Butter Snack Bar

EDIT: They removed the “get sample” button, so they’re probably out of stock.

Hiffers, you have a mission. Freebie companies are now frequently releasing offers that coincide with popular events, dates, or traditions. Case in point, Sam’s Club’s free Slim Fast peanut butter snack bar that just so happens to come out when millions of Americans are pondering losing pounds.

So here’s what we need to do. Let’s make a new tradition of giving away cakes, chocolates, and cookies to each other on March 5. Imagine the possibilities! Krispy Kreme and Dunkin Donuts will have no choice but to give away free donuts that day. Hershey’s and Betty Crocker could set up rebates on chocolate milk and brownies. Mars could bring back their 100,000 free coupons!

Okay, deep breaths, Goob. I’m hyperventilating just thinking about it.
