Free Lowe’s Build & Grow Clinic on 02/13

Free Lowes Build & Grow Clinic

We’ve got another free Lowe’s Build & Grow Clinic this Saturday. They’ll be building a jewelry organizer that can be given to mom as a Valentine’s Day gift. That’s sweet and all, but during the next clinic they’ll be building a LoweBot! I. Want. LoweBot. It’s part robot, part race car! In related news, is it any surprise that I’m a guy?

As usual, space is limited, so you need to register on-line beforehand!

Free Emergen-C Vitamin Drink Mix

Free Emergen-C

There’s a new link for free Emergen-C vitamin drink mix and…I got nothing. I almost went with a “but what if it’s an emergency and I need my Emergen-C now!” joke, but then realized that was horrible and punched myself in the arms as punishment. I blame them for allowing me to type it!

Free Redbox Rental Code

Free Redbox Rental Code

I’m now within walking distance to my nearest Redbox kiosk, which makes this free rental code of 2DGTAL22 much more useful. The last time I tried to pull out of my parking space, I rammed a bank of snow. Of course, I didn’t bother digging my truck out, so it didn’t take long for impact.

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.

Try Your Luck Thursday 02/11/2010

Hey, I’m a day late! I know, shocked, right? As a consolation, I updated the Try Your Luck Thursday winners page and holy cow. Hiffers have already won more prizes this month than I expected would happen all year. NotLoggedIn won free milk for a year, Mariann and Amy won free pants through Dockers, and Wendy won a date night package prized at $1120! And those are only some of the bigger prizes over the past few weeks – there’s no telling what y’all will win in the coming months!

Speaking of Dockers, make sure you enter each day to win one of the 2,990 free pants they’re giving away. Expires 02/15.

How does free Subway footlongs for a year sound? The best part of the campaign is that you can enter up to three times daily. No purchase necessary; new playable codes are updated each day on their Official Rules page (Scroll down to (vi) Daily Complimentary Codes). Ends 04/15.

Brides.com is running a weekly Kohl’s giveaway over the next three months. This weeks prizes are Fiesta Dinnerware Sets. Ends 04/30.

Finally, Gillette is giving somebody and 10 of their friends a Hometown Bar-B-Q with an appearance by a NASCAR driver. They’ll also get a Gillette prize pack and an autographed hat (by the driver, not a Gillette employee). Ends 04/30.

EDIT: I just found out that Sears is giving away six Craftsman power tools. To enter, simply follow the BlueToolCrew on Twitter. End 02/18.

Free Fekkai Hair Care

EDIT: This is no longer available.

As if on command, this free Fekkai hair care from Walmart shows up tonight after my earlier quip about my messy hair. *cue spooky sounds, flashing lights, and a zoom in of Goob’s freaked out face*

Free CitraClear Dishwasher Softener

Free Nuvo Dishwasher Softener

I’ve never understood the concept of products like this free NuvoH2O CitraClear Dishwasher Softener. How can water be soft? Isn’t hard water called ice?

Coupon: Free Downy Wrinkle Releaser

Free Downy Wrinkle Releaser

We first posted this coupon for free Downy travel size Wrinkle Releaser back in September, but it’s still available, can still be printed multiple times, and doesn’t expire until June. You now have no excuse to wear anything wrinkled for the four months.

Next up: see if this will get the bedhead out of my hair!

[thanks to Erin for the reminder]

Coupon: Free Excedrin

Free Excedrin Coupon

In order to get a coupon for any free Excedrin product, up to a $5.99 value, you need to take the world’s shortest quiz and do not check Excedrin. If you say you’ve taken Excedrin in the previous 12 months, you’ll get a $2.00 printable coupon. But here’s a hint: you can take the quiz twice. So you can get free and cheap Excedrin!

How many times can I say Excedrin in this post? It’s almost like chocolate; the more I talk about it, the more I want some. That can’t be healthy reaction.

Free Walgreens 8×10 Photo Collage

Free Walgreens Photo Collage

You can get a free 8×10 photo collage at Walgreens by using code VDAY before midnight tomorrow, February 12. They ran this offer last month and it was a breeze putting the collage together on-line and then picking it up later that week.

If you order your photo today, it should be ready by tomorrow, which is when this 15% off coupon is valid. If you don’t have anything to buy, feel free to pick me up some gum. I’m all out and have resorted to chewing on pens. I think I’ve ingested enough black ink to become a squid.

Free Tide Plus Febreze Freshness Sport

Enter a contest that Tide’s holding and get a free Tide plus Febreze Freshness Sport sample. You have to “design” a new dress for Venus, but I merely clicked a few buttons and then hit submit. Once submitted…I don’t know. It says “click for your free sample,” but you can’t click it. Underneath, it says that every entry earns you a new sample, but…wait, didn’t we just enter? So we’re all squared away?

I know I’m not one to call the kettle black, but come on freebie companies. There have been more glitches on your sites over the past few days than most of 2009. I’ll let you chalk it up to the snow, but that’s generous as I’m overlooking how many of you are headquartered in California.
