Free $35 P&G Coupon Booklet

I don’t know how many of these free $35 P&G coupon booklets I’ve received but we’re about to add one more to the pile. Don’t look now but that pile is about to overgrow my laundry pile.

Free Sephora Mascara at JCPenney

Today is my “I better go take care of these two dozen errands before my electricity gets shut off and I starve to death” day. I might as well swing by and grab my free Sephora mascara at JCPenney. They know me by name now, which isn’t an accomplishment I ever expected to achieve at a makeup counter.

Freebies Received: Week #57

Freebies from Hey, It's Free!

Apparently I live in a cave. I also broke my keyboard today, so I’m pecking together this post on my phone. You’d think I’d be better at typing on this thing thanks to all the text messages I send to myself my friends.

Anybody else get the Cheez-Its this week? What was your favorite flavor?

Free John Frieda Precision Foam Colour

EDIT: Hiffed

If you missed last week’s John Frieda freebie, then make sure you take a shot at this free Precision Foam colour offer. It’s a coupon for a free full size box but it may take a little patience as their site is getting hammered. It’s kind of like getting me to eat my vegetables. You need to take your time, calmly explain that it’s in my best interest to eat them, and then maybe hide a portion in my mashed potatoes. I know, I know, first dates with me can be super awkward.

Free Wisk Detergent

EDIT: They’re out of freebies now.

Looks like CVS rediscovered freebies this week, first with the free drink and now with a free Wisk detergent sample. Just make sure you don’t confuse the two. I’m not sure what’s worse: getting violently sick from drinking detergent or ultimately wasting a freebie.

Free CVS Candy or Drink

The CVS Facebook page has a coupon for a free candy or drink with no other purchase necessary. You can only sign up for the coupon today, but it’ll be emailed to you and is valid through Sunday.

You need one of their Extra Care cards, which meant I had to dig around in my junk drawer. I only pricked my hands on ten loose thumbtacks before finding my card! If you don’t already have one, you can signup here.

Free Copenhagen Personalized Flask

Too bad there are only three initial slots on this free Copenhagen personalized flask. Gob just doesn’t have the same ring to it without that missing o. Although as long as it holds whiskey without any leakages, then I don’t care the cover says. Hidden flasks are the only way I can make it through school plays, business meetings, or writing HIF posts.

[thanks to the dozens of Hiffers who sent this in!]

Free Heinz Tomato Seeds

EDIT: This is no longer available.

Oh, come on, where are these freebies during the week?! Red Robin is giving away free Heinz tomato seeds in the hope that you’ll start a backyard garden. I’ll most likely run out of ketchup, remember I have the unplanted seeds, and sprinkle them on a burger. I’m sure they taste the same, right?

Free John Frieda Hair Care

EDIT: We Hiffed it.

I’ll be honest, trying to figure out the secret to this free John Frieda hair care sample is well beyond my mental capacity right now. Based on your answers, you can get either a coupon for a free full sized box of Precision Foam Hair Colour or a small shampoo sample. I’m sure there’s a way to game the system, but don’t expect me to figure it out any time soon. I just spent an hour watching a how-to show on remodeling your home because I was too tired to change the channel.

Free Target Beauty Bag

EDIT: It looks like these have hit the wall.

I had one ten too many margaritas last night and don’t typically work on Sundays, but this free Target beauty bag offer is too good to ignore. I can’t wait to get my $25 in makeup freebies and give myself a makeover.
