Free Burrito at Baja Fresh Today

If you have a Baja Fresh nearby and want to get a free Burrito today, then fan them on Facebook, print out the coupon, and bring it with you to Baja Fresh today only until 8pm while wearing green. Because nothing says Happy St. Patrick’s day like Mexican food!

Free Dove Daily Treatment Conditioner

If your hair is feeling a little out of shape, sign up for this free Dove daily treatment conditioner. So, wait, we’re supposed to be conditioning our hair daily now? Is this the kind of daily like flossing, where nobody actually does it, or the daily like brushing your teeth, which is actually followed?

Well, I should clarify, most people brush their teeth daily. I’ve known a few people who didn’t and…well, I only correspond with them via carrier pigeons now. What? I had to find some way to justify purchasing a bunch of birds last year!

Coupon: Free Box of Better Oats

I don’t know which oats these are supposedly better than, but you can get a coupon for a free box of Better Oats to judge for yourself. In order to get the sample, click on the “taste test” tab, laugh at the funny picture of a girl eating her spoon, and then sign up. You should receive the coupon via e-mail within a short period.

March Madness 2010 Contest

Seeing as how over 600 people participated in last years March Madness contest, I figured tonight would be as good a time as any to set up this year’s rodeo. After the fiasco with Yahoo last year, I spurned their fancy-pants scoring system and turned to ESPN. Here’s the official HIF group (password is hiffers) and in order to be considered for prizes, join up and make your picks before the first game at noon on Thursday, March 18.

As for the prizes:1

  • First Place: $100 GC
  • Second Place: $50 GC
  • Third Place: $25 GC

Trust me, you don’t have to have any idea what you’re doing in order to have fun or play. I blindly pick teams and still managed to come in like 9th place last year. I don’t even watch pro basketball, let alone college, but having a bracket gives you the perfect excuse to slack off from working and cheer for a random team you’ve never heard of.

Just don’t pull a Goob, as my friends call it, and routinely cheer for a team that you actually picked to lose. There’s no word for the emotional gut wrench that comes moments after realizing such an idiotic mistake.

  1. As usual, you can pick what store you want the gift cards for []

Free Viso Can Caps

EDIT: Looks like we Hiffed it.

An organic energy drink, Viso, is giving away three free can caps while supplies last. Note that Viso cans look to be on the slender side, so they probably won’t fit on average soda cans but should fit on most energy drinks.

Speaking of energy drinks, I could go for one right now. It seems that I was born without the enzymes or proper cell count or whatever it is that allows most people to go “hey, you know what? It’s late and I’m tired, I think I should go to bed.” Even my dog is sitting here with a look on her face that can only be interpreted as “that bone you gave me earlier? It’s going in your jugular if you don’t turn that music off and let me get some sleep.”

Free Tear-Aid Patch

With summer fast approaching (ABOUT TIME!), I should start blowing up all of my inflatable rafts and tubes. Of course, I guarantee some will have mysteriously gained a hole or tear while doing nothing more than sitting in my closet for the winter. Okay, that’s not true, as I’ve been known to ride them down stairs in the wee hours of the morning, but I’m sure that played no part in damaging them.

No worries though, as I found these free Tear-Aid patches today. Just make sure you don’t confuse them with eye patches. It’s one of the many dangers I face with my compulsive desire to be a pirate.

Free True Lemon

These free True Lemon samples have been around for ages (since 2006!), but I thought I’d post them again for all the new Hiffers who have come on board over the past year. This is actually a product I point to when I talk about how freebies sometimes turn me into a paying customer, as I now buy two boxes a month.

Every day I drink enough water to fill a small pool, but it can get a bit bland. Enter True Lemon. It’s a much better alternative to my past method of spicing things up, which was to actually put tabasco sauce in my water. Let’s just say: lesson learned.

Free Puffs Plus Tissues

Free Puffs to-go tissues

If you’re a member of Vocal Point, then you can score some free Puffs Plus to-go tissues. If you’re not a member, you can sign up today – but only if you’re a mom. As I alluded last December, VP is one of the many “moms only” marketing clubs on the Internet.

You know what’s awesome though? Nobody has invented a sex or child verification Captcha yet! So guys and childless gals, sign up and say you’re a mom! In fact, just to be safe, I dress in drag while signing up for sites like VP. I never know when they might surreptitiously turn on my webcam to verify that I’m a female. Plus skirts are kinda freeing.

Free Ritz Munchables Pretzel Crisps

Fan Ritz on Facebook and get a free pack of Ritz Munchables Pretzel Crisps. I can’t say that I’ve ever really understood the allure of munchable or snackable or bite size food. I’ve never had any trouble munching on regular sized Ritz crackers.

Don’t forget to become a fan of Hey, It’s Free while you’re at it. You won’t get any free food, but you may get to see a rare glimpse of Goob making an unwarranted status update while inebriated one Saturday night! It’s what my friends know as a typical text message from me.

Free Kotex Samples

Free Kotex Samples

These free U by Kotex samples got me wondering what my mail lady must think I do. One day I’m getting seemingly normal freebies for a single guy in his twenties and the next I’m getting Parents magazine and a box of Kotex items. Sure, I could try talking to her, but I still haven’t found a smooth way of saying, “oh, by the way, I don’t actually use all of those tampons!”

This freebie includes the following samples:

  • 1 U by Kotex CleanWear Regular Pad
  • 1 U by Kotex barely there Liner
  • 2 U by Kotex Click Regular Tampons
