Free Arm & Hammer Toothpaste

I’ve only been up for 30 minutes today, and I can already tell after the 6th time of shooing my cat down from the dresser that today will be one of those days. The real clue, however, should have been the fact that this free Arm & Hammer Toothpaste sample is as tricky as ever. I’ve seen three different links to it, and I can’t even link to it just right myself! Yup, I just have to type in tryarmandhammer.com on the address bar instead of clicking any link. Just seems to work easier that way…

But don’t let your day start out like mine! Heed my warning and… sorry, got to chase the cat down again!

Free Natura Advantage Dog Food

This coupon for a free 5lb. bag of Natura Advantage dog food will come in handy once I finally get my hands on it. I’ll be traveling shortly and still need to figure out how I’ll feed my dogs. I considered stuffing dog food into my laptop, letting it sync with my Dropbox account, before finally spitting out of my home computer but it looks like that technology hasn’t been perfected yet. Seriously, scientists, what other frivolous problems could y’all possibly be wasting your time on?

[thanks Kristen!]

Coupon: Two Free 5×7 Photo Cards at Wal*Mart

This year, I forgot my old college roommate’s birthday. Sure, it might not sound like a tragedy, but seeing the guy put up with me running around with a crazy afro in just my boxers, playing electric guitar at 3am for a solid year of my life, well, the least I could do is send him a card or give him a call.

Or, I could just send him one of these two free 5×7 photo cards from Wal*Mart and HP. And I know just the photo I’d use: the time he and I met John Mayer. Its not the photo that’s amazing, though, its the story of what happened just before the photo…

Free Starbucks Via 4 Pack

EDIT: It’s down to a $1 coupon down.

I rocked at Guess Who? growing up. That and Concentration. I don’t know what it was, seeing I suck at even remembering the smallest details now, but there’s something about the inane details of knowing if it was Colonel Mustard with the wrench in the lobby and where the cards were, well, I just could get it done right.

So it wasn’t the promise of the free Starbucks Via 4-pack that helped me speed through the game. Nope, it was the sheer pleasure of playing it. Just watch out for the stirring and the pouring icons… they’re really similar…

Free Garnier Moisture Rescue Lotion

EDIT: No longer available.

Target’s sample page is back with free Garnier Moisture Rescue lotion. Hopefully you don’t get as stumped by the anti-spam question as I did. What is seven + 5 may seem like an easy question at first glance, but when you really think about it … ah … well lets just stop thinking about it.

Free 2010 Generic Brand Drug Reference Guide

Whenever I go to the doctor’s office, they always have some generic drug they’ve got that supposedly does the same thing as the regular thing. Maybe I should believe them. Maybe I shouldn’t. I mean, sure, they have the degree and all, but I could have a fancy piece of paper on my wall and this free 2010 Generic Brand Reference Guide and know the same thing, right?

All I’d need would be some nice card stock and a quick spin in Microsoft Publisher…

Free Slice of Pizza at Villa Fresh on 10/12

I’ve never heard of a Villa Fresh pizza place, but apparently its a nationwide chain that’s in some malls. There’s one down the road from my mall, but I don’t really feel like traveling two hours for a free cheese pizza slice this Tuesday, October 12th. But, I’m sure you might be able to find one closer?

I guess I’ll just stick with Sbarro, which ironically enough, I never ate at the one on campus the whole time I was in college. But that’s another story…

Free Festival Music Samplers

As if it wasn’t enough that new music makes it to my plate before release day (like Darius Rucker’s new album that doesn’t come out until Tuesday ::cough cough::), I just can’t seem to get enough of it or have enough time to listen to it. And attend a full day festival? Oh boy… I mean, when I went to Warped Tour back in 2002, well, not only did the day wipe me out, but I skipped seeing Good Charlotte! (I had a good excuse with an awesome local band playing on a small stage…)

Needless to say, thankfully the free festival samplers for Austin City Limits 2010, Lollapalooza 2010, and Bonnaroo 2010 thankfully have some crossover artists and songs, so I won’t have as much music to get through, or 3+ full days that I’ll have to live through to hear it all…

Coupon: Free Cookie at Quizno’s

I don’t remember the last time I ate at a Quizno’s. Matter of fact, I don’t think I’ve ever eaten at one. There used to be one by my parents house that took over the Blimpee that we used to eat at growing up. And that’s a place I used to love to eat. I mean, there was something awesome about their kids meals. I can’t remember what it was, but I used to love going there.

Oh well, maybe this free cookie at Quiznos will change my mind. Sadly, though, there’s no free toy included…
