Freebies and free stuff

There’s all of these “months” and “days” and “events” that I’m just starting to lose track of. Free ice cream days, national waffle cone days, coffee days… Its too much! I think my freebie planner needs a freebie planner of its own!

Tomorrow, though, I could just take a quick break with a free cookie from 10a-2p at Great American Cookies for National Cookie Month. Sadly, however, there are no participating locations anywhere near me again. You know, I think not only were the Mariners losers when it came to the playoffs this year, but Seattle as a whole for most of the freebies…

Eye safety should be no laughing matter. I mean, look at the Three Stooges! Oh wait, not a good example. Ah well, guess I’d better grab some of this free eye safety literature and magnet, complete the activity books, and try again? Nah, it’d take me too long to color within the lines–its why I failed kindergarten, they told me…

EDIT: Looks like we killed it.

Every time I see a word I don’t know, I play a little association game. Take this free Dial NutriSkin Replenishing Lotion from Walmart. NutriSkin? That sounds like Nutrition, which has to do with eating stuff. Ipso facto, this is some sort of cannibalism lotion.

My logic is bulletproof.

When I first saw this free Shankara samples offer, I didn’t know what to make of it. I mean, why do I want a “dehydrator” sample if my skin is already dry? Its sort of like that one sweating/mummification episode of Haven, if you ask me…

EDIT: This is no longer available.

Like Goob, I know I’ll have no use for this freebie, but I’m sure that someone here would enjoy it…

So if you happen to have a PayPal account, or just don’t mind typing in a credit card number that won’t be charged, you can get this free Hello Kitty or Chanel nail art. Just head to the page, add it to your cart, specify in the notes which one you want, and use the coupon code FBLIKE. Just be sure to watch your page for the confirmation, seeing it worked for me as a $0 transaction, and my confirmation e-mail said the same.

So with free shipping, I’m sure that he and I could plan a late mani-pedi night if we really felt like it. But I’m sure we’d both have to be deep in sorrow about the MLB playoffs for that to happen. That, or a cube of PBR.

I think I’ve tried everything humanly possible mixed into my water to help me improve my workout efficiency. Well, not everything. I could always make myself some kitten formula and salmon oil, but that doesn’t sound as appeasing as this free Fortitech Drink sample pack.

But yet, my little cat likes it. Not the fist-bumping, rolling over one, but the other one…

I don’t normally post rebate offers, but there are six such offers that were released recently and so I thought I’d put them all together in one post. I’m just handy that way. And bored.

Note that some of them are only good at certain stores.

• Free Bissell Stom and Go – Whoa. You get until Apr. 1, 2012 to use this offer. It’s good for $5.99 and … wait, how does this product work? It cleans carpet stains by allowing you to stomp on them with your feet?! 10 year old Goob is hyperventilating somewhere out there.
• Free Brita Slim Pitcher – For starters, this rebate is good up to $10, but who wants to spent that much when there’s a $5 coupon here? Take the pledge and make your purchase by March 31, 2012.
• Free Carmex Moisture Plus at CVS – Rebate is good for $2.99 and purchases much be made by Dec. 15. They have a $.50 coupon on Facebook, so you can lessen your out-of-pocket expense.
• Free Lysol Dual Action Wipes – You can get either a 35 ct. or 80 ct. for free, up to $5. Purchases have to be made by Nov. 30.
• Free Multipurpose Paper at Staples – Use the coupon I just linked to and purchase the 8.5″ by 11″ paper (it’s basically printer paper) by Oct. 1 and then apply for the rebate online.
• Free Woolite Oxy Deep – Some stores put a “Try Me Free” tag on the Oxy Deep bottles, but the rebate form says all you have to do is make a purchase before Jan. 15, 2012. The rebate is good for $5.99.

If I missed any, please share in the comments!

Part of the reason you’re seeing so many in-store free coffee offers lately is because Thursday, September 29, is National Coffee Day. Well … I guess that’s all of the reason. Krispy Kreme is getting in on the action by offering a free 12 oz. coffee tomorrow. If you can get out of there without purchasing a donut or ten, then I want your willpower.

What’s with the free $2 credits today? First CVS and now a free $2 Amazon mp3 credit. All you need to do click the yellow button and enter code FALLMP3S. After half a dozen failed attempts, I had to end up copy & pasting the code. I can recall the starting lineup for every Seattle Mariners team over the past 20 years, but I guess my little peabrain can’t correctly remember a string of eight characters.

I was recently alerted to this free Stadium jerky offer on Facebook by Stadium Jerky themselves. Freebie companies, take note. I can squeeze in so much more pointless Internet surfing during the day if you’d all contact me with your freebie offers from the start. I’m pretty sure that’s the new American Dream.
