Free Eternal Baroque Album

If you liked the 1880s music Adam posted earlier this morning, you might also enjoy Amazon’s free Eternal Baroque album. I’m already broke enough, so it’s not like I need music to remind me of the fact!

You’re right, I’ll go sit in the time-out corner for that one.

Free I Love the 80s Download

I was a child of the 80′s. Sure, I didn’t perm, I listened to hair bands, and I thought that Extreme’s “More than Words” was one of the greatest songs ever (followed by a tie with Skid Row’s “I Remember You” and Ratt’s “Round and Round,” maybe White Lion is up there too… I’ll get back to you on that one)… So I was surprised to not see any of those on this free I Love the 80s compilation from Amazon.com

Until I realized it was for the 1880′s. I guess I really was born too late. You’ll excuse me while I go head bang to Michael Halasz’s “Symphony No. 1 in D major, Titan.”

Word to yer mother.

Free Pampers and Huggies Codes

There are some new codes out for the two diaper rewards programs. First up, Huggies Enjoy the Ride has the following points available, all via Freebie 4 Mom:

  • BXZWTNJFSLHCPGB (5 pts)
  • BCSTDHJZXTKPPGB (5 pts)
  • BGCJJZSTLNNSPGB (1 pt)
  • BGCSZMBLDWWDPGB (1 pt)
  • BGDZBQLXKNNCPGB (1 pt)

Word is that your best chance for winning a prize is late at night, but it’s 3AM all I’ve won is a front row seat to a baby farting in a bathtub 10 times in a row. But I have to admit, a farting cartoon baby is a pretty decent consolation prize.

Next up is Pampers Gifts to Grow, which released a 10 points code of WELCOME2GTG2010. I’d take a few minutes to think of a joke, but that would cut into valuable sleep time and zzzzzzzzzz…

Free Vaska Herbatergent Detergent

If you e-mail your mailing address to info@vaskaproducts.com, then you can get a sample of Vaska’s free Herbatergent sample, which is both a herbal detergent and a killer Scrabble word.

3 Free Atkins Bars & Starter Kit

Atkins seems to be tapping into the “get fit” goal everybody makes in January by offering three free Atkins bars along with a carb counter and quick-start guide.

I went a different route and resolved to eat an entire chocolate cake for every meal this year. My doctor has strongly advised against this endeavor, but I ceased listening to him once he stopped giving me lollipops after each visit.

Free Globetrotting Magazine Subscription

The articles in this free Globetrotting magazine subscription will either provide insight on world travel or explain how to spin a basketball on your finger while simultaneously pulling down your opponents pants. Either way, I’m excited.

IS: Free Aveda Color Conserve Pack

Now through June 30, print out this form and take it into your nearest Aveda for a free three-piece Color Conserve pack, which includes shampoo, conditioner, and strengthening treatment.

Make sure to watch out for over strengthening your hair. The last think you want is for it to whoop your tail late one night after it’s had a little too much mousse to drink.

Free Nestle Calendar w/ $20 in Coupons

EDIT: Aaaaaaaand we Hiffed it :(

With kids going back to school today, I thought it’d be a good time to point out that Nestle’s free back-to-school calendar with $20 in coupons is still available.

The landing page for the offer brings back some fond memories. I can’t tell you how many schooldays I started off with a few Beggin’ Strips, a bowl of Friskies, and a glass of Coffee-mate.

Free Barbara’s Organic Cereal

This free Barbara’s organic cereal was first released in January 2009, which means I should have found it earlier. But let’s pretend this offer was recently unearthed in a time capsule!

Speaking of which, I have a letter stashed in my closet that 10 year old Goob wrote to 30 year old Goob. I’ve still got a few years until I read it, but I’d bet it says something along the lines of “if you’re not a Ghostbuster of Ninja Turtle by now, I’m disappointed in you.”
