Free NutraSalt

The only problem with products that are packaged like this free NutraSalt is that my infantile brain interprets them all as Pixy Stix. I can assure you with authority that a mouthful of salt (or Taster’s Choice ground coffee!) tastes as appealing as it sounds.

Free Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Cone (03/23)

Free Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Cone Day

After scoring a free muffin at Starbucks, make sure to grab some free Ben & Jerry’s ice cream on Tuesday, March 23 from 12-8pm. I’d be nice if you could bring your own cone, as I happen to have a collection of the world’s largest ice cream cones. I got it by trading in my old stamp and coin collections after learning you can’t eat either of them.

You may want to call ahead and make sure your local store is participating.

Free Pastry Day at Starbucks (03/23)

Free Starbucks Pastry

Dozens of astute Hiffers wrote in about Starbucks’ Free Pastry Day on Tuesday, March 23. In order to get your free treat, you have to purchase a “handcrafted beverage” and show the coupon to your barista before 10:30am.

Hopefully these taste better than the homemade blueberry muffins I made last week. They weren’t so much muffins as blobs of uncooked dough. Looks like my Easy Bake Oven needs a new light bulb again.

Try Your Luck “Thursday” 03/22/2010

Since I was busy watching the opening of the NCAA tournament and didn’t post a Try Your Luck Thursday list last week, here’s a mini one.

Don’t forget about the super easy contests that you can enter daily from companies like Pace Picante, Kroger, Subway, and Cheerios. There are hundreds of comments all over HIF from people who have won at least one of those.

Victoria’s Secret is giving away $50 and $500 gift cards. You have to take a short quiz, but I got stuck on question #2 when it asked how much cleavage I like to show. Ends 3/29.

Nature Valley wants to fly you and three friends out to Yellowstone National Park for five days, which I’d be scared to do. The last time I was in a national park, I was almost eaten by a bear. Or squirrel. Whatever, it was mean. Ends 5/31.

Why Milk is giving 50 daily instant winners prizes such as Tyler Florence cook books, board games, gift cards, and more. Ends 4/12.

Lady Footlocker is holding a March Madness style tournament where the winner will win sneaker for a year. Am I the only person who goes well over a year without buying a new pair of shoes? Ends 4/05.

Dentyne is giving away gum as well as the chance to win a Mercedes-Bez C300 Sport Sedan. If I win the car, I’d actually be a little disappointed if it wasn’t filled to the brim with gum. You have to call an 800 number for an entry code. Ends 4/30.

Speaking of gum, Extra is giving away gum and the chance to win a training session with Bob Harper. Sorry Bob, but a free car is a tad better in my book, so Dentyne gets top billing. Ends 4/30.

Turner Classic Movies is holding a contest involving tons of movies I’ve never seen and flying people out to LA to watch them. But I’m not bagging on the contest because it’s only a matter of time before my grandchildren are laughing at me for watching Major League, Matrix, or Shawshank Redemption. I’ll make them drink a ton of prune juice though, so sucks for them. Ends today, 3/22!

If your home has a 70s decor, then check out this Crypton Ottoman / End Table sweepstakes. Ends 5/12.

AHAVA (who?) wants to somebody on a week trip to Israel or just give them a $10,000 cash prize. Ends 7/01.

And finally, Woman’s Day has twenty bajillion sweepstakes going on now. Trips to Palm Coast, Orlando, Myrtle Beach, San Antonio, and more. When you get to the bottom of the page that I just linked to, make sure you check out the second and third pages for more sweepstakes.

So there you go! Sorry about missing last week … okay, I’m not really that sorry. :D

Free Kotex Samples Packs

It seems that Kotex has a new free sample packs page that has links to all of their freebies available. The cool part is that, while I’ve already individually posted these, you can sign up for them a second time by using this page. The bad part is that this only means I now have 33% more freebies I can’t use and will have to give away.

Sample Pack 1

  • 2 Regular Maxi Pads
  • 2 Fresh and Dry Long Liners

Sample pack 2

  • 1 Security Super Tampon
  • 2 Security Regular Tampons
  • 2 Security Fresh and Dry Long Liners

Sample pack 3

  • 2 Ultra Thin Pads with wings
  • 2 Fresh and Dry Long Liners

Sample pack 4

  • 1 CleanWear Regular Pad
  • 1 Barely There Liner
  • 2 Click Regular Tampons

Free 5 React Gum

Free 5 React Gum

In order to get a free pack of 5 React gum, do the following:

  • Click “See if you were chosen” on the left side.
  • Connect to Facebook.
  • Watch a short creeptastic video.
  • Fill out the form.
  • Send me a six pack because I’m all out.

Okay, I made that last step up. I really wish y’all weren’t so smart.

10 Free Disney Rewards Points

There are ten free Disney Rewards Points available through code heart. And you know what that means – I’m now ten points closer to my purple Hannah Montana guitar!

70 Pampers Gifts To Grow Points

Free Pampers Gifts to Grow Points

EDIT: Enter code MARFACEBOOK2010 for an additional 10 points!

There are two new Pampers Gifts to Grow points available, GTGPLAY1USA2010 and GTGPLAY3USA2010, that should net you 30 points each. I finally looked up the rewards today and there are some cool Shutterfly prizes in the 400-800 point range. You can also get a coupon for a free box of Cheerios for only 400 points. $10 giftcards seem to start around 1,100 points.

Unfortunately, they don’t have a prize for a free baby. You’d think that for a million points, a diaper company could at least give you a kid. How the heck else are you supposed to have any offspring? And don’t mention storks as I know they aren’t real!

If you’re already a member of Pamper’s site, then use this link to head straight to the log-in page. Otherwise, use the first link to sign up!

Freebies I’ve Received: Week #7

Freebies from Hey, It's Free!

Here’s this week’s stash of freebie that arrived in my mailbox. You can’t tell from the photo, but one bag of Trail Mix is almost completely gone already. It came like that, I swear!

As always, I’ve linked to any freebie offer that is still available.

Freebies Received

I’m starting to love these full sized freebies. Anybody else score the shampoo and trail mix?

Deal: Cheap Del Taco Shrimp Taco

There’s an coupon on Facebook right now for a free Del Taco shrimp taco with any purchase, so you should be able to get one for the cost of a small drink or whatever else is cheap on the menu. You think they’d sell me an individual shrimp?
