Freebies and free stuff

EDIT: We drained those supplies pretty fast!

Costco is offering free Pull-Ups training pants and the best part is the signup form doesn’t require a Costco Member ID. Maybe they finally realized that doing so was futile as we all knew to punch in 9 random numbers. I just wish that little trick would work on other things like ATMs, phones, and girlfriends.

Wait, that makes it sound like I date robots. No, no, don’t worry. I only go for cyborgs.

It looks a bit complex, but there’s a fairly simple process to get a free Shutterfly Photostrip, which is a fancy term for a custom photo bookmark.

1. Search for “Wink” in the top right search box.
2. Click on the only result that appears and then click on the orange “Try Wink” button at the bottom of the page.
3. Now log in or sign up.
4. You’ll see you have one photostrip credit. Go ahead and create your strip.
5. Once completed, click the blue “Send” button” and then hit “Add Recipient.”
6. You can now send the strip to anyone you want (Internationally!) for free.
7. Make sure you add a personal message, if you want. I believe it’ll be printed on the back of the strip.

So there ya have it on how to get a free bookmark from Shutterfly. I tend to read online articles more than books, so I plan on taping my bookmark to my computer monitor with a little drawn arrow pointing to where I stopped. Foolproof, right?

I only know about Lane Bryant because they and ABC have been snipping back and forth in the news recently. Lane Bryant says ABC refused to run their ad because it contained plus-sized models, ABC says they’re full of baloney, and I decided to fully study the controversy by watching the ad in question a few hundred times.

I’m not sure what my verdict is yet, but I am happy to report that Lane Bryant is offering a coupon for a free pair of Cacique panties while supplies last. I love when companies say that. As if we somehow think they’re magically able to send out freebies after supplies have already died.

Make sure you have a local store before you bother printing it out.

Be one of the first 100,000 to like Murphy USA on Facebook (they currently have 5k) and get a free Coca-Cola product of your choice. They only have locations in 21 states in the south and midwest, so if you live in New England or out west, you’re outta luck.

Another Huggies Enjoy the Ride Rewards code came through my inbox this afternoon:

5 Point Codes

It’s only a matter of time before I win something on the darn site. That’s also what I tell myself about developing telekinesis powers and learning to tie a shoe.

[thanks Elin!]

If you head to Baskin Robbins from 5-10pm on Wednesday, April 28, then you can take part in their 31 Cent Scoop Night. Hopefully you’re able to infer how much each scoop of ice cream costs, but in case you can’t, let me help. It’s 58 cents.

Wait, I think I did that wrong.

[thanks to all the Hiffers that sent this in!]

If you Like Einstein Bros on Facebook (which is the new way of becoming a fan of a company), then you’ll be able to print a coupon for a free bagel & shmear, which has got to be one of the funnest words to say in the English language. The coupon expires on May 2, so hurry up and use it! Luckily you can say shmear for as long as you want.

Make shmear you print the coupon in black and white, as otherwise it’ll print in mostly red and drain your ink. Shmear.

The freebies are a bit slow today, but luckily Hiffer Jennifer sent in these free Huggies Enjoy the Ride Rewards and Disney Movie Rewards codes.

Huggies: BJBNWFHCHRFFPGB – 5 Points

Disney: FPSNN83JX9 – 25 Points

It’s been forever and a day since I bought a Restaurant.com gift certificate. When I first found the site in 2008, the site was pretty … eh. Their selection of restaurants in my area was limited and worse was that they never seemed to change.

However, when I saw they were selling gift certificates for 80% off, I took another look and found that they had greatly improved on their selections. Most franchise restaurants don’t accept the certificates, but pretty much every mom & pop type eatery by me does. They all have a spending requirement, for instance a $25 gc has a $35 requirement, but you’ll still be saving money ($35 meal – $25 card + $2 cost = Final cost of $12)

Anyway, punch in your zip code and have a look. Maybe you’ll find a place you love or somewhere that you’ve driven past a million times and never eaten at. When checking out, use code MEAL for 80% off your purchase through April 30.

EDIT: They’ve exhausted their freebie supply.

If you feel as if your morning showers are a little too rough, then get some free Caress body wash and enjoy the gentleness of it.

You know what? That was a horrible joke and you all deserve a refund. You can pick it up at the door on your way out along with some rotten tomatoes to throw at me in the back alley.

[thanks Rose!]
