Freebies Received: Week #17

Well, I don’t really know what I got this week as I’m not home to check. But let’s take a stab at it:

Freebies Received

  • No idea
  • Not sure
  • Maybe some shampoo?
  • I bet there’s something I can eat too
  • Probably a diaper or baby formula coupon
  • Oh yeah, lots of coupons!
  • Certainly a magazine or ten

Hopefully you got more exciting freebies than my imaginary ones. If so, tell me about them so I have something to read when I get home!

Free Aveeno Nourish+ Shampoo

Free Aveeno Nourish+ Shampoo

I know a lot of freebies have been quickly dying recently, but at the same time there are samples like this free Aveeno Nourish+ shampoo that are still kicking. Well, not literally. I’d be quite worried if my shampoo had legs.

Budget Busters #5: Redbox Rental Codes

redbox-logo

Last year, Redbox gave away a free rental code every Monday. After it became a huge success, they changed the program to one free code per month. They then changed the program once again and instead of releasing one code for everybody, they asked people to sign up on their site and get a text message with a unique, free code.

So while I’d love to share with you the code that I get on the first Monday of each month, I can’t as it’s only valid for me. So if you have a Redbox nearby and want to make sure you get a free rental code each month, make sure you sign up!

IS: Free Aveeda Damage Remedy Pack

I’m fairly certain this coupon for a free Aveeda Damage Remedy hair care pack is new. All you have to do is take it into your local Aveeda store before August 31 and they’ll give you some free shampoo, conditioner, and intensive restructuring treatment.

That last item works best when your hair needs some heavy reconstructive surgery. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve fallen down and broken my hair. I’ve already had eight hair casts so far!

Goob’s Going Gcamping

Seeing as it’s almost Memorial Day weekend and I haven’t left my apartment since there was snow on the ground, I’m heading out early to go camping with some old friends. Don’t worry though, I’ve got a few Budget Busters queued to publish and have set it up so that they’ll also get pushed to the Facebook page as well.

In the mean time be safe, go have some fun, and I’ll see ya Monday or Tuesday barring I’m not abandoned in the woods for telling too many obnoxious puns!

Free Nivea Happy Sensation Lotion

This free Nivea Happy Sensation lotion probably won’t last long, so hurry and sign up!

EDIT: Hiffer Laura pointed out that this is available for one hour only and then will be available again for a second hour at 9pm EST.

EDIT #2: This is no longer available.

Free BeneVia Health Drink Pack

EDIT: Well, that’s Hiffed.

I’m currently visiting my brother and after last night’s events, let’s just say I could use this free BeneVia health drink pack right now. I’m not sure if it even helps a hangover, but at the very least I can hit myself on the head with the book and stop the room from spinning.

  • 1 Bottle of BeneVia Heart Health
  • 1 Bottle of BeneVia Strength & Energy
  • 1 Book: The Science of Staying Young (by John Morley)
  • High value coupons

[thanks Patricia!]

Coupon: Free Tropicana Orange Juice Today

Starting at 6am today (Wednesday, May 26), there will be 50,000 coupons for free Tropicana orange juice on their Juicy Rewards site. You can only get one and it’ll cost five points, so hopefully you’ve been entering the codes I’ve posted over the past few months. If not, try punching in some of the older codes to see if they still work.

Free Miracle Skin Transformer Lotion

At first I thought this free Miracle Skin Transformer lotion was a scam, but then it passed most of the questions on my Legit Freebie Test.1 The way I look at it now, if this is a spam freebie, then it’s like we just had a long con pulled on us by Sawyer. You can’t help but almost feel a little honored.

Free Kraft Sandwich Shop Mayo

Free Kraft Mayo

Mmmmmm. There is nothing better than some free Kraft Sandwich Shop mayo sent via the postal service. Just thinking about that delicious, temperature reliant condiment making its way to me through the mail has my insides aflutter. As my Mom would say; there’s nothing like a bout of food poisoning to kick off the summer!
