Free Samy Fat Hair

I don’t care if this product is only just called “fat hair”, but for me to even see this free Samy Fat Hair product sample as my first sample or freebie on Monday morning before a weigh-in? Well, it makes me start to feel cranky… The last thing I need is for my hair to gain weight if I’m trying to lose it!

Freebies from Hey, It's Free!

Now that’s more like it. The cookie tin has been taunting me since Thursday so it’s a small miracle any were even remaining. And there’s no way I read all of those magazines despite how enticing a Bieber Fever article may be.

Free Wisk Sample from Costco

It seems that Sam’s Club just can’t be outdone with their freebie offers. Yup, that’s right folks, now only was it available originally from Sam’s Club, but now Costco is giving away a free Wisk HE Laundry Detergent sample. And better yet? Just ignore that membership number field…

At this rate, I’ll be posting you a link for a BJ’s sample in another week or two…

Free L’Occitane Divine Skincare Sample

I remember the days when Facebook was just a twinkle in MySpace’s eye and was called TheFacebook. And back in those days, sonny, when we’d walk 8-miles up-hill both ways in the pouring snow with Billie Jean, our pet goat, chewing a can (we were chewing the can, not the goat) we didn’t “like” anything. You didn’t have this stress of “liking” your friend’s music, funny wall quotes, or brands like this free L’Occitane Divine Skincare sample. Nope, you went online and looked to see if someone was in a relationship or not, and then you signed off and turned off your computer that took up your whole dorm room, and then played chess with Deep Blue for a round or two.

Yup, that’s what I did when I was your age, Bobby Fischer, how about you?

Free Victoria Secret Bombshell Sample

You’d think by now that whatever this secret is that Victoria has, it’s not much of a secret anymore. And I mean, how is it a secret in the first place if she’s baring it all on the runway at fashion shows? Or magazines. To me, the first thing about keeping it secret would be no photographic evidence.

But beyond that, I definitely wouldn’t give out free Victoria Secret Bombshell fragrance samples with this coupon. Nope. Then you could see and smell them coming a mile away…

Free Cold-eeze Sample

Seeing I work in retail, there are three things I live and die by:

1) Customers
2) Airborne
3) Coldeeze

I’ve yet to find the first two as freebies, although the Emergen-C is nice, but to find a free Cold-eeze sample? Well, I’ll take it…

Free Maxim Magazine Subscription

EDIT: It’s down for the count. But Hiffer Melissa found a backup link.

It’s been a while since we’ve had a straight up free Maxim magazine subscription offer. That’s been okay with me because I can never spell Maxim. I always type out “maximum” and the fact that I haven’t mistakenly done so yet in this post is commendable. As a reward I think I deserve to have cookies for lunch.

Okay, fine, I’m just looking for an excuse to eat cookies.

Free September SPIN Magazine Sampler

I’m always on the quest for new music. While I’ve been slowly working through Anberlin’s back-catalog, anticipating Darius Rucker’s new album, and loving The Gaslight Anthem’s “American Slang” more and more with each listen, I still have music ADD. I can go from bobbing my head to Taylor Swift’s new song to laughing and cheering on Kanye’s new song.

That’s why something like this free September SPIN magazine sampler is awesome for me. With my iTunes, I can grab 18 new tracks from a diverse group of artists and just sit back and relax…

Free Prevent Blindness Sticker

Growing up, I didn’t have to worry too much about any of the Three Stooges routines. I was glad to wear glasses, which deterred much of the eye-poking hi jinks that classmates might have pulled on me. But as I grew older and got contacts instead? I nyucked a little less and threw up a stink-palm a little more.

That being said, I know the best way to prevent blindness now:
1) Request this free Prevent Blindness sticker
2) Wear over your eyes like Geordi LaForge’s VISOR
3) Thwart any Stooge-like attacks

The downside is that I might need to teach my cats how to guide me around everywhere, but I’m sure I could manage…
