Freebies and free stuff

EDIT: All the sample have been given away!

If one botched giveaway isn’t enough to satisfy your raging needs, then make sure the kids are in bed and you’ve had a bottle of wine by 9pm EST tonight. That’s when Tide is rereleasing their free Tide Stain Release.

To their credit, they acknowledged to screwing up when they previously tried to give away samples last Monday. As repentance, they’ve upped their freebies from 100,000 to 150,000. Personally, I would have liked them to send an employee to hand-wash my delicates. My lace underwear is far too expensive for the washer.

The free Sample Showcase goes live in just under 10 minutes. Well, probably more like 6 minutes by the time I get this published. Unless I have trouble thinking of what to write, then it very well may have already started. The point is, there are thousands of freebies stuffed in boxes and waiting for people to claim them, so don’t miss out!

After you like them on Facebook, you can sign up for free Esprit D’Oscar eau de parfum. That’s merely a fancy way of saying perfume. It’s also an anagram for “emu apes reports acid fraud,” but I think we’re getting the perfume.

This free Power of Clay DVD sounds a little promising to me. Well, that is if the power of clay includes it making me breakfast and doing the dishes without me having to lift a finger. I mean, that would be a truly awesome power of clay if you ask me…

I used to like watching House. There was something cool about all of the medical diagnosis that they’d have and how if you tweaked one thing or another, it was something completely different. It was like watching a mad scientist at play.

So add that mad science to the kitchen and I guess that’s where this free Crohn’s disease cookbook comes in handy. Sure, it might be for those who have Crohn’s, but I’m sure those without might enjoy the tweaks in their own recipies.

Or just to laugh evilly over a pot of alphabet soup…

RewardsGold reposted seven free ongoing offers and they couldn’t have come at a better time. How else would I remind myself that I have nothing better to do on a Sunday night than post freebies?

The free two year Entrepreneur magazine subscription is new. The other six were all posted here last month, but it can’t hurt to post them again. Unless you suffer from a rare condition that causes physical pain whenever you read something for the second time. If that’s the case, then I apologize in advance for the rare condition that causes physical pain whenever you read something for the second time.

• Free 26 week Wall Street Journal subscription
• Free six month Barron’s magazine subscription
• Free one year subscription to Jet magazine
• Free one year subscription to Ebony magazine
• Free one year subscription to Newsweek magazine
• Free one year subscription to Playboy magazine

Remember, when they ask you to refer a friend, you can simply make somebody up. I bet the guy who owns bob@yahoo.com hates me.

For today only, you can use code DEAL8X10 and get a free 8×10 Walgreens photo enlargement. Make sure you opt to pick the photo up instead of paying for shipping. If your Walgreens is anything like mine, they’ll give you at least a month before they throw it away, so it’s perfect for lazy bums like yours truly.

[thanks Laurie and Lisa!]

I haven’t even had a chance to head to my local Aveda salon for my freebie I last posted when my wife found this coupon to take with us for a free Aveda Handcreme. This feels very much like a “Honey, when you go to the store, I have a few things I need for you to get” moment…

EDIT: As of Saturday night, they’ve run out of samples.

No worries if you missed the earlier AllYou popcorn freebie, as Walmart has you covered with their own free Orville Redenbacher’s Pop Up Bowl sample. Of course, those of us who got the first offer can sign up for this one as well. I plan on eating them both at the same time and seeing which runs out first. It will be the most delicious science experiment since the time I tried microwaving 10 bags of marshmallows at once.

[thanks Jackie!]

EDIT: It appears they’ve run out.

There are supposed to be 50,000 free Orville Redenbacher’s Pop Up Bowls from AllYou given out today, but I’m not sure how many are left. They had some issues with their signup form this morning and so the site was down for a few hours. To put it another way, I know just as little as you do. Man, I am a phenomenal purveyor of freebie information.
