Freebies and free stuff

I think Sam’s Club is trying to impress us. They now have free Children’s Claritin available as long as you have a membership number. It’s almost as if somebody bet them that they couldn’t release a million freebies this month. To that person, I say, well done Goob. You are a genius.

I don’t know why anyone would really need anything like this free Sun-Maid recipe booklet. I mean, if you ask me, raisins are great with anything or in anything.

I especially enjoy mine fresh from a bottle, after their juices have been fermenting, after a long hard day at work…

Musicians that give away their music for free are awesome friends for me, if you ask me. There’s something amazing about sharing the art that you’re creating, and doing so in such an open fashion.

So that’s why I’m happy to share this free album from the Texas band, A Life Like No Other. If you click on the “buy now” option and put in “$0″, you can grab it for free and give a freebie loving band some listens. The music? Not too bad… I think I’ll stick with my Ben Folds and Nick Hornby that I’ve been stuck on recently, though…

I like to think that my taxes go to something cool like paying for space shuttle missions or repaving roads (What? I think that asphalt layers are awesome!). In all likeliness, I realize that the reality of the world is that my taxes probably go to something more along the lines of these free CDC Birth Defect and Developmental Disabilities brochures and reading material. Why would I need these when wikipedia can tell me that my problems are because the stork dropped me on my head when he dropped me off on my mommy’s doorstep?

Whenever my wife and I roadtrip, we usually stay in bed & breakfasts. There’s something awesomely wholesome and good about the breakfasts, and besides, they’re cute and quaint.

But now with this free Red Roof Inn pocket directory? Well, maybe I’ll be able to get us some small stops along the way so we can get to where we’re going a little faster…

Some of my cats’ food actually sounds pretty edible.

Now hear me out. When you’re feeding them an all natural jerky treat and the ingredients read exactly like what you’d be eating from your own Slim Jim wrapper? Why not?

So whenever I see something like this free Enfamil sample, I wonder if I were to go back to eating baby food how that would taste… Some strained peas might be nice?

My freshman year of college, I skateboarded everywhere. The coolest thing about that was the fact that I’d just slap stickers like crazy to the bottom of the board, so when a layer would get all dirty and mucky? I’d pop on some more new stickers.

Now, seeing I haven’t skateboarded in a good 5 or so years, well, I have a lot of free stickers like this free Palmetto Blended decal that I have no idea what to do with. My cats won’t sit still long enough for me to stick them with them…

I have a feeling this free Land O’ Lakes holiday recipe book will soon top my “seriously, don’t throw those away because I’m going to read them one day” pile. Items among the stack include dozens of magazines, the instruction guide to my “new” four year old TV, and what I believe is a history textbook from my first year of college. It’s almost as if I enjoy creating fire hazards around my house.

[thanks Larry!]

Its a good thing I didn’t have a kid or have a kid waiting for this free Beech-Nut Next Steps kit. I mean, if I did? Well, seeing Goob posted the first Beech-Nut kit back about a year ago, that kid might have been starving by now… Or just a skeleton left-over…

I love that the World Wildlife Foundation and World Wrestling Federation have the same acronyms. I get all giddy thinking of tigers wrestling or kangaroos in a steel cage match. Or a panda smashing a leopard over the head with a folding chair.

But, alas, I’ll just dream in acronyms while I wait for this free WWF tiger sticker pack to come… TYCA*
