Freebies and free stuff

Do I categorrize this free Tom’s of Maine toothpaste sample as outdoors in addition to body products?

What’s a ghost’s favorite sport? Boo-ling.
What’s an alien’s favorite sport? Cosmic Bowling.

And with that, I can’t think of any more lame Halloween jokes involving bowling, so before I come up with them, quickly print these free Brunswick bowling coupons for trick-or-treaters that are good from October 31st through November 23rd. And then find an alley near you.

EDIT: This seems to be giving a lot of people trouble today, so you may want to hold off on this until the some Hiffers leave comments saying it’s working again.

With all of the many different Dove samples that we’ve found over the past 4ish years, its hard to tell if this free Dove Haircare sample is actually an old one with new links or a new one with new links that looks like an old one. Its one of those age old questions like how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. Personally? I’d never eat one while I was showering…

Rewards Gold has free Forbes magazine subscriptions for anyone who isn’t already getting millions of magazines a week. Some people might want this to keep up with financial and stock news (okay, I’ve never actually read an issue) but not me.

I’m going to plaster mine all over my office walls. With winter fast approaching, I’m looking for any way to lower my heating bill. I tried building a fireplace in my living room last year, but apparently it’s not as simple as starting a fire under an open window. I’m still finding soot all over my house. Now that I think about it, I swear both of my dogs used to be yellow…

I really need to stop requesting all of this free music like this free Dean Shoultz CD. I mean, I’m still trying to work through some of the suggestions in my last few SPIN magazines, I need a new album so much less…

I’ve never heard of Food Should Taste Good, but I agree with their company name and appreciate the free bag of multigrain chips that they’re giving away on Facebook. It’s actually a coupon for a free bag, so make sure you have a local retailer that sells these. Your only alternative is to take a Sharpie into your local grocery store, draw Food Should Taste Good’s logo on a competitor’s bag and try to trick a checkout person. If you do go this route, please have a friend film it and upload the results on YouTube for my entertainment.

As I alluded this summer, I now have my youngest brother believing I’m not potty trained thanks to all the adult underwear freebies. At what point does a long term practical joke finally go from hilarious to detrimental?

Anybody else have a fairly decent week?

My sister and I were talking earlier this evening about how we always seem to have more calendars than what we need. And while I have 5 that I use on a day-to-day basis, she beats me with the 7 that she uses. Maybe, though, if I keep hoarding calendars like this free Unity 2011 calendar, I can overtake her in sheer numbers…

When it comes to things from Adult Swim, I’ve got to say that my Danger Doom CD might be one of the coolest things that I own. Seriously. I mean, there’s something awesome about cartoon characters rapping alongside songs about them.

But now with this free Adult Swim metal album? Well, I might have to grow back out my mullet, get an El Camino, and invest in some more Def Leppard 8-tracks…

While I listen to music across all genres, I have to admit that most of the songs and artists on this free lullaby album aren’t ones that normally cross my iPod. That being said, maybe I need to branch my horizons out a little bit. I mean, the Dixie Chicks doing the old Muppet Song “The Rainbow Connection”? How can you go wrong?!
