Coupon: Free Hass Avocado

Tonight, I got the strangest craving for cheesy waffle fries. Covered with bacon bits. I mean, seriously, how great would that be? Just chop up some jalapeno pepper to throw on top and maybe a little bit of jack cheese too? Oh so perfect…

But I know that if I get this free Hass avocado, well, I’ll be having a lot healthier sort of fat. Maybe I can still have some cheese sauce on it…

Free American Apparel T-Shirt

EDIT: And its dead…

Sadly, almost all of my old t-shirts don’t fit me anymore and I gave away my older ones to charity. Yup, just a few months before I started all of my weight loss efforts, I told myself I’d never be that size again. Now? I find myself running around without much clothes on. I mean, why should I bother to buy new clothes except for work and workout ones when I can get things like this free American Apparel t-shirt. And getting it with my own musical production company’s name on it? Makes it even cooler for me!

Free Journal

I keep telling myself that I’ll start writing things down. I’ve started two or three times and I have random notecards all acround my computer with things like “Rocco DeLuca,” “Carissa’s Wierd,” and “Romancing The Shadow” on them. Maybe if I just had something like this free journal, well, I could have a place to store everything. Or maybe, I could just open up a document on my computer and do it the easier digital way, huh? I’ll just make a note to remind myself for later…

Free Studded Bracelet

EDIT: No longer available.

I got a new short hair cut and I’ve been wearing skinny ties with a big blingy belt buckle when I’m at work. Some might say that I’m trying to look more hardcore and punk. The truth be told, if I wanted to do that, I’d just get a few of these free studded bracelets and then paint my fingernails black and grow my hair out for a comb over across my eyes. Or I’d go all emo. I’ve got a Dashboard shirt to go perfectly for it…

Free Aleve Caplets

EDIT: Link updated.

I’m sore after my 4 mile jog just a few hours ago, and yet? I still haven’t earned enough exercise points/calories for my Johnsonville snacks that arrived today. Seems like another jog might be in my near future. Something tells me that I’m going to wish that I had this free Aleve caplets sample just a little sooner…

Free Music from Denison Witmer

The one thing I love about all of the jogging I’ve been doing (other than the amazing weight-loss results I’ve had over the past few 6 months) is the time I’ve had to really dig into the music that I’ve had all stockpiled on my computer. You know, that random album that you have by that one artist that you’ve never really listened to anything else by them, but that one album is a gem and you wonder what happened to them? Yeah, that one…

And in my quest and listening to Denison Witmer’s Are You A Dreamer?, I stumbled upon a website where Mr. Witmer had rerecorded 33 of his songs (well, there are a few covers) as guitar and vocal only arrangements with little to no editing, and has provided them for free download. So while this free music from Denison Witmer isn’t really any one of his albums, its a good selection of songs to give you something new to listen to on your playlist…

Random Coupons #54

Halloween is fast approaching, and I’m excited for haunted hayrides and costume parties. That reminds me, I need to get working on my costume. Most girls go the sexy route and dress up like a scantily-clad pirate, cop, cowgirl or fairy. I prefer trying something more creative, which is why I’m going to be a sexy bigfoot. I know the other girls are totally jealous. What are you going to be this year?

Free La Prairie Eye Contour Cream

Quick, guess how many times I’ve misspelled “La Prairie” while typing this post for free La Prairie Cellular Eye Contour Cream. If you went with “so many times that you took a break to pet your dogs then noticed that the floor needed vacuuming which was followed by a little laundry before finally sitting back down and wondering what you were supposed to be doing in the first place” then you win.

Free Origami Paper

I have decided for the remainder of my morning to be lazy. Yup, after chasing my cat a little too much down from the dresser, I’m going to explore the ancient art of origami with this free origami paper sample.

I’m going to make a ton of origami paper balls. Yup, that’ll teach the little rascal a lesson…

Free Emergen-C Sample

Halfway through my morning routine this morning, and I’ve already glanced through my tie drawer all too often. Its too early to bring up the light-up Rudolph tie, but too late to pull out my Fourth of July Jerry Garcia tie. And while a nice compromise might be in polka-dots, I don’t compromise on breakfast or my morning vitamins.

But this free Emergen-C sample might be a nice add-in in place of my usual Crystal Light. And who knows, maybe it’ll actually do me some good?
