Freebies and free stuff

Question: How will we know if we’ve received our free invisible glass wipes?

I’m sorry. Trust me, I’m ashamed of myself over how corny that was. They can’t all be gold.

I believe they only have 1,000 or so freebies a day. If you miss out, try again later.

[thanks Toni!]

Rita’s Italian Ice birthday freebie reminds me of how disappointed I always am with Rita’s. For some reason I always imagine that I’m getting a milkshake and then, upon my first sip, it dawns on me that it’s basically a slushy. In any other scenario, a slushy is awesome. But when you’re expecting a milkshake? Not so much.

Signup Freebie: BOGO coupon for one free regular Italian Ice
Birthday Freebie: Free regular Italian Ice.

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

This offer reminded me of how silly silent letters are. My last name starts with a silent E and it’s pointless. Sure, they can be fun when convincing children that cat is spelled with four silent Qs, but beyond that, what’s the point? Somebody should get to work on eliminating those.

Not me though. I’m too busy signing up for free Eucerin lotion on Facebook.

EDIT: This is no longer available.

Holy crap, is it really already time for Christmas stuff again? But it’s still summer!

Through September 12, you can get a free personalized Santa Card (I get bonus points for not Freudianly typing Satan) sent to your home from Tiny Prints. All you have to do is pick from the Santa’s Scroll or the Checking It Twice cards. Then you’ll want to play around with personalizing the text and/or photo before finally having it shipped to your home. Enter code SANTA11 at checkout and you’ll get everything, including shipping, for free.

EDIT: This is no longer available.

If you have a Twitter account (and judging from the 57,000 of you following HIF, you do!) then use it to get a free $5 Amazon video on demand credit. After clicking the yellow “Tweet and get $5 button,” it’ll link your Twitter and Amazon accounts together and then you should get a confirmation screen saying the credit has been applied to your account.

You can use this credit to “rent a new release movie, catch up on recent TV seasons, or even watch your favorite TV shows the day after they air.” And if you want to unlink your accounts, well then check out this handy guide I wrote a while back.

[thanks Robn!]

In case you didn’t notice while signing up for your Target beauty bag, you can also sign up for more free Poise Hourglass pads there. I always give away my pads because, you know, being a dude and whatnot. It’s a good way to tell if I’ve ever misjudged the closeness of a friendship.

All next week (Sept. 6-10), there will be free Chick-fil-A breakfast available, but you have to sign up for it ahead of time today. You get to reserve a date and time that you want to get your free food and then all you have to do is show up with your confirmation email. This is like a pre-freebie signup, which makes it either classy or kind of annoying. Your call.

[thanks to everyone who sent this in!]

EDIT: It looks like this is dead.

Target is once again offering a free beauty bag full of cosmetic samples. They don’t list everything included, but they say the freebies will “soothe, cleanse, shimmer, repair, pamper, nourish…and in general just make you feel fabulous.” And in the end, isn’t feeling fabulous the most important thing?

They offered something similar back in March and those went fast!

[thanks Amy and Wai!]

While we all sit around twiddling our thumbs waiting for Folgers to get their act together, we can sign up for some free Poise Houseglass pads from Walmart. I’d write more, but the image of the pad reminded me of a hammock and now I’ve got this crazy idea what I need a hammock. Like now. So I’m off to the store!

EDIT: Lame, this is just a $.35 coupon.

At noon EST, you’ll be able to sign up for free Folgers coffee on Facebook. We’ll, I’ll be able to sign up too. I guess I should have said “we’ll be able.” Dang. I wish there was a way I could go back and fix that.
