Freebies and free stuff

ShopText is offering shoppers of Bloom, Food Lion, and Harvey’s the chance to get free Hershey chocolate bar by simply texting a word to 467467.

• Bloom – text FREECANDY
• Food Lion – text HERSHEY
• Harveys – text CANDY

My cell plan finally works with ShopText again, so I’ll be sure to post more of these offers as they crop up. Now please ignore me as I slink away to watch the second half of the Germany-Spain game.

[thanks Deal Seeking Mom!]

EDIT: Looks like this one died pretty quick.

Napster just posted on their Facebook page that anybody can get a free 1GB Creative Zen MP3 player by commenting of their status about the first concert you ever saw. You have to mention who it was, what year it occurred, and where it was held. After you’ve done so, send an email to blogger@napster.com with your name and address and make sure to put EWW 7/7 in the subject line.

They’re also offering this through their Twitter page. Simple follow them, tweet the same info as requested above, and then email your info.

A 1 gig MP3 player isn’t that big, but it should be more than enough to hold all of my High School Musical soundtrack CDs! What can I say, I like to rock out while I’m working.

[thanks Michael!]

If you have a bottle of Dove Hair Care shampoo, then take a picture of yourself holding it and get a free Dove luxury bathrobe. You’ll also have to write a short review about it, but you can alternately make a 30 second video.

It sounds like a lot of work, but it shouldn’t take more than a minute or two. Plus the freebie is a luxury bathrobe! Just think of all the fancy parties you’ll be able to wear it to! I’ll finally be able to eat at the five star restaurant down the street without being told I’m under dressed. High society, here I come!

[thanks Patricia and Rose!]

So apparently there are two more free Blockbuster Express rental codes out that look way too much like previous codes: GT16A (expires 7/31) and GL15A (no idea what this expiration is). Why can’t Blockbuster take their cues from Pampers? Those I can keep up with! My vetting process for them goes as such.

1. Is it a new month? If yes, proceed.
2. Does the code have said month in it? If yes, proceed.

Thankfully it doesn’t get much easier than that. I can’t walk and chew gum at the same time, which I learned the hard way after entering a speed walking contest sponsored by Bubble Yum.

I first posted this free ID lubricant back in December of 2008 but I can’t remember if it ever came. Speaking of, I don’t remember starting up this site. Who put me in charge? Is this even my site or has somebody tricked me into running it for them?!

[thanks Jenn!]

If you have a nearby Blockbuster Express Kiosk, then use code G616A3 to get a free rental. I haven’t had a chance to test it out yet, but I sure hope they still have a copy of Bratz: The Movie when I go later today!

If you pledge to volunteer in your community, you can get a coupon from Target for free Ben & Jerry’s ice cream! The only options in my area were housing foreign exchange students and … yeah, I don’t think that’s gonna happen just for some free ice cream.

[thanks Dave!]

EDIT: This is no longer available.

The StartSampling page for this free Dove hair care product say “fill out this form to receive a free sample of Dove Hair.” So…we’re getting dove hair? Not to sound ungrateful, but what the heck am I going to do with dove hair? Plus, I thought doves had feathers. If you think I’ll rub dove feathers in my hair, then you must have been spying on me last Thursday.

You don’t have to be a Sam’s Club member in order to get this free, but make sure to use a new e-mail address.

Growing up, I used to imagine mascots and icons roamed around in their own little world. I’d picture the Marlboro Man and Joe Camel hanging out in the desert and, who knows, they might have been using any of these four random Marlboro freebies that we can choose from.

• Leather keychain
• Ironclad bottle opener
• Classic black bandanna
• Two $1 off coupons

What I’m getting at is that I had some weird daydreams as a child.

EDIT: This is no longer available.

It’s crazy how many dead freebies have shown up again over the past week. Case in point: this free can of Libby’s vegetables coupon from Redplum. I just think it’s further proof that Americans hate vegetables so much that Libby’s has to give them away.

[thanks Chi-Town Cheapskate!]
