Freebies and free stuff

Benihana’s Japanese Restaurant birthday freebie is pretty darn awesome, if you ask me. What other place gives you thirty bucks every year? That’s right, not a single one, and I should know because I’ve been going through way too many of these lately.

The coupon will be valid on Monday – Thursdays for the month of your birthday, so find a sitter one night and enjoy a meal! Well don’t find a sitter if you don’t have kids. That’d be a little creepy.

Signup Freebie: Bupkis
Birthday Freebie: Free $30 gift certificate.

Remember, we have a full list of free birthday food!

There’s nothing better than 5 free Huggies Enjoy the Ride Rewards points (BKJXZHTTFNBSPGB). Well, except for whiskey and Community. But that’s it! As long as you ignore cigars and baseball. I guess naps with your dog and sunny days are up there too. And is it just me or does anyone else love how a new pair of socks feel?

Of course, sometimes the packaging won’t open so you bring teeth into the equation. But then a shred of plastic rips off the corner and you spend way too long trying to spit it out, which makes you get embarrassingly lightheaded. Wait, what were we talking about again? I think I digressed a little.

Interested in a free $39 P&G coupon book? I hope the answer is yes because otherwise this post is pointless. Thinking about that will make me wonder why I even published it which will inevitably lead to me questioning my career choice. At that point I’m only minutes away from a nervous breakdown or massive bender and that’s just unacceptable at 10:45 am. I have standards. It should be at least after noon for either of those to occur.

They’ll send the coupons to you via snail mail and a full list can be found after the jump.

You’d never know we were in a freebie recession right now by looking at this haul. Did anyone else have as good a week?

What do you get after typing in 4W34A9BD99YDFWY? Well, besides a weird cramping sensation in your hands, 10 free Pampers Gifts to Grow points!

If you’re already a member of Pamper’s site, then use this link to head straight to the log-in page. Otherwise, use the first link to sign up.

It’s been awhile since we’ve seen a free Lactaid Fast Act dietary supplement offer. My imagined reason for this has to do with a worldwide secret organization of cows and a scrappy farmer who went to great lengths to expose their shadowy behaviors. Hollywood, I await your call.

Yesterday was a travel day and I’m not sure if I spent more time crossing the county or making aborted landings in horrible wind shear. I try to recognize all types of freebies though so I sat back and enjoyed the world’s longest impromptu roller coaster ride.

So let’s see what I missed. Hmm, not much. You might be able to get free Ocean Spray juice by liking them on Facebook. They’ll randomly start the giveaway today and will have a few thousand samples. I’ll be sure to post an update to HIF’s Facebook page when it goes live as well.

EDIT: The “sorry, all done!” message you see now is for yesterday’s giveaway. They’re still planning to hold another one today.

EDIT: Well that went fast!

Oh thank the Lords of Kobol – an actual freebie! If you take a short survey on jewelry, you get a free two year Cosmopolitan magazine subscription from RewardsGold. For once the survey and magazine subject go fairly hand in hand as well! It must be a Friday afternoon freebie miracle!

EDIT: I called AT&T twice to verify this. The first rep said this is only for iPhone users while the second said it only supposed to be for iPhone users but will work for anyone, so YMMV.

If you’ve watched 10 minutes of broadcast television lately then you know the iPhone is now on Verizon’s network. It used to be only available for AT&T users so you had bajillions of people using their network despite hating the company’s horrendous service. Well now as a “thank you” to people not jumping ship over to Verizon, AT&T users can text yes to 11113020 and have their account credited with 1,000 free bonus rollover minutes.

Yep, today’s pretty slow…

Some days I spend a good four or five hours hunting for freebies before throwing in the towel and taking a nap. I was 18 seconds shy from this glorious event when suddenly 50 free Disney Movie points appeared and ruined everything! Log in, take a Baby Einstein survey and you’ll get the points.
