Free Lice Awareness Items

Dr. Itchy makes me wonder if he has a partner called Dr. Scratchy. Needless to say, he’s got two different freebies:

1) Schools/educators can get this free guide and magnifier.
2) Parents can get this free book.

With all of this lice education, its a wonder that our lice don’t have Ph.Ds!

Instore: Free 3oz Scoop at Carvel Ice Cream Today

Wow, talk about almost missing out! Usually Goob and I like to get to these freebies earlier, but this one almost got right by us like a ninja!

All day today at participating Carvel stores, you can get a free scoop of Swiss Miss Ice Cream (the link is just so you can see it on their site, its an instore, no coupon required). Sure, its only a 3oz scoop, but hey, its free!

I’ll be back with some more in an hour or two, but I wanted to get this one out ASAP, sorry to be so late, folks!

Free Little Bit of Philly Tote Bag

EDIT: This is no longer available.

I keep saying that I’m going to downsize my briefcase/bookbag. If it wasn’t for all of the reports that I have to analyze and the paperwork I have to do, I’d just carry a small messenger bag, or maybe even this free Little Bit of Philly tote bag.

Instead? I’d better save this one for the weekend farmer’s market. It’d be a nice place to carry some tomatoes and carrots…

Free Social Network Soundtrack Sampler

Oh Trent Rzeznor, you’ve learned that the “free music model” works best and really draws people in. That’s why your free 5-song mini-sampler for your movie The Social Network works so well. You draw me in with the hopes of an awesome soundtrack with just a few simple songs, and then? You make me wish that I have the rest of the soundtrack… Brilliant.

Now, you’ll excuse me, I have a Stevie Wonder song calling my name…

Free Olive-Oil Nourishing Enrichment

EDIT: Looks like we Hiffed this one!

This free O.N.E. skincare sample is another one of those things that gets something completely random stuck in my head. Yup, U2′s “One.” That, or Metallica’s “One.” Not like there’s much difference…

Free Iso Mass Xtreme Sample

For some reason I’ve had “Hercules, Hercules, Hercules” stuck in my head all day. Yup, I’ve even walked around saying it and clapping my hands together like a fool. Endlessly.

With this free Iso Mass Xtreme sample, maybe I’ll finally feel like the hero? Minus the animated sidekick, sadly…

Coupon: Free A&W Root Beer Float

Free A&W Root Beer Float Coupon

Redplum currently has a coupon for a free root beer float at any A&W location. This probably won’t last long, sort of like the cookies from Mrs. Fields. I didn’t realize there was a finite number of cookies until I reached the bottom of the tin last night. It was by far the worst experience of my life and that’s coming from a guy who once forgot to wear pants to school. Twice.

Free Devotional Bookmark

And this is where I’ll throw my bookmark in for the night and crash. Although, seeing I now use a Kindle for almost all of my reading, I’ve forgotten what a bookmark is outside of an envelope or a scrape of paper. There’s no nice “bookmark” button in my life.

But if I start collecting now with this free devotional bookmark? I’m sure I could start a new revolution…

Free Military Service Sticker

While a freebie I’ll never personally use, its nice to see something like this free I Served sticker. Helps me remember that, yes, we are still fighting wars, and yes, we shouldn’t forget anyone from the war as just a memory and a cold coffin.

Free CareFRESH Sample

I’m horrible at pet names. I told my wife that I want a ferret, and that when we get one? I want to name it Ferrets Bueller. I’m sure if I got a rabbit, I’d name it Bugs Bunny. And if I got a guinea pig? Papa New Guinea. Seriously.

So maybe I’ll just request this free CareFRESH Complete sample and bring it in to my local shelter, and spare a generation worth of pets horrible names.

Like a chinchilla named Enrique Iglesias…
