Freebies and free stuff

Its that time of year again, everyone… That time when it doesn’t matter if you need gas or not, but you find each and every 7/11 around your home and you head in and you take that small 7.11 oz cup and get that slushed spun sugary sweet sustenance and slurp it sideways and down and let its icy goodness of doom do nothing but refresh you.

Yes, Slurpee, today is your day. Free 7.11oz Slurpees at participating 7/11 stores nationwide. ICEEs and Slushies might impersonate, but there can be only one…

…or multiple 7/11s in your town, so if you need to plan out your free hi jinks today? Head to slurpee.com to plot out a route to get the most free for your money by 7/11 hopping…

EDIT: These are no longer available.

The signup form for this free Dentyne gum is moronic in that it demands the second address field be filled in. I made up a fake apartment number, so I guess that means I now have a few weeks to add another level onto my house.

[thanks Catherina!]

I’ve been doing pretty good on my diet so far. Well, that’s not counting the past few weeks. You see, with all of the candy and other snacks around work, well, it doesn’t matter if I’m running 30 miles in a week, I’m killing it with cookies…

So this free Johnsonville Deli Bites offer probably isn’t the best bet for me… But with 6 free bags? I’m sure I could pawn them off on someone else around the office…

Pampers Gifts to Grow has been on fire with their codes recently. Here are 10 more free points thanks to GTGFIVEMONTHS10. A lot of people have been asking what these points are for. While I can’t speak for everyone, I’m saving mine up for the Diego Soft Potty Seat because it looks rather comfy.

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!

Here are a few in-store freebie events that you might be interested in. First off is Chick-fil-A’s Cow Appreciation Day today. Dress up like a cow, get some free food! Bonus HIF points if all you say is “moooo” while ordering.

Tomorrow’s free Lowe’s Build & Grow Clinic is from 10am to 11am and will have your kids building a ball and cup game. I always find these super easy to beat, especially because the string can be cut so quickly.

Then on Sunday, it’ll be 7-11, which means you can get a free 7-Eleven Slurpee from 8am-11pm. It’s only 7.11 oz. large, but if you have multiple 7-Eleven’s nearby, then hit them all up!

Wendy’s Summer of Real game is just what I needed to validate my existence and solidify my belief in the seasons. Turns out it’s also a game where you enter in Cup Code 329492855844 and will most likely win 30 MyCokeRewards points, which is enough for a free 20oz. Coke. They’ll email you the code, but it’s not instant, so don’t worry.

There are other potential prizes you could win, but I’m not holding my breath. Mainly because I want to live.

Friend Paper Mate on Facebook, then upload a picture of you with your favorite Paper Mate pen, and you’ll get a free pen. If you just like them, they’ll donate $1 worth of products to Kids in Need Foundation.

I don’t have a Paper Mate pen lying around, so I just covered up the logo on a random pen and took a snapshot of that. It’s kind of silly that in order to get a freebie, you have to already have one of said freebies!

[thanks Gordon!]

EDIT: I told you these would go fast!

Do I go with the “somebody tell the makers of this free Sally Hensen Pure Scent-sation hair remover for body that they misspelled sensation” joke or do I go with the “ah, great, hair remover for our bodies. As opposed to hair remover for desks and chinaware” joke? Either way, this freebie is available through AllYou magazine, so it’s gonna go fast.

EDIT: Whoops, I forgot the link. Here ya go.

Sign up with USAir, use promo code NM15. and your account will be credited with 1500 free miles within 48 hours. Upon doing so, you can then click on “Divided Miles” and spend the miles on some great magazine subscriptions. Some of the best I saw included:

• Entertainment Weekly – 52 issues for 1300 miles
• Sports Illustrated – 56 issues for 1400 miles
• Cigar Aficionado – 6 issues for 400 miles
• W – 12 issues for 600 miles

There are others to choose from, but you get the idea. At least I hope you do. I’ve never been known for my teaching skills, but if I can’t walk somebody through getting a free magazine then maybe I need to find another line of work.

Who comes up with these Pampers Gifts to Grow codes? A group of teenage girls? Whatever, type in code GTGGETREADYSOON and enjoy that tingling sensation of betraying the English language.
