Free Children’s Music

I assume only parents of little ones will be interested in the various free children’s music from Amazon. Then again, maybe there are middle age Hiffers who love rocking to VeggieTales and The Wiggles. Who am I to judge?! Trust me, I get it, the contents of my iPod are a closely guarded secret.

Free Magazines & Recyclebank Points

I’m often asked why bother racking up free points from places like Pampers or Recyclebank. Well, in this case, how do a ton of free magazine subscriptions sound? First let’s get to the available points though (of course, go log-in first).

  • Click here. Take the quiz? Survey? Movie? Whatever it is, take it and earn 25 points.
  • Click “Earn Points” and take the Suave “Turn off the Tap & Save” quiz. Earn 25 points.
  • Click “Earn Points” then “Pledge to recycle your games”. Earn 10 points.
  • If you haven’t already (we posted this a few days ago), do the Green Your School pledge. Earn 110 points.

Now, after you’ve got 170 points banked, click “Get Rewards” then “Music, Books & Magazines.” There you’ll find a free year’s subscription to the following magazines available to you.

  • Better Homes & Gardens
  • Everyday Food
  • Harper’s Bazaar
  • Marie Claire
  • Mid West Living
  • Parents Magazine
  • Popular Mechanics
  • Redbook
  • Seventeen
  • Siempre Mujer
  • Town and Country
  • Whole Living

The only reason HIF’s Twitter has gone from 4,000 to 59,000 followers in the past few months is because of a few mentions in Seventeen magazine, so I know some of you out there enjoy reading that. Of course you can spend your points on other prizes as well. There are a few coupons in the food or health & beauty sections that you might find worthwhile.

Contest: 1 Million Free Papa John’s Pizzas

Papa John’s is giving away one million free pizzas throughout the football season this year. The way it’s set up is that 60,000 random people will receive a free large one topping pizza each week. All you have to do is signup for a Papa John’s rewards account, click “My Account,” click “Enroll” under the Papa Points section, then cross your fingers. If you win any week, you’ll receive an email notification. I was hoping they’d just randomly deliver a pizza to my house, but I guess that’s asking a little too much.

Free Funley’s Delicious Snack

EDIT: I told you this would die fast!

I swear I’m not trying to only find Facebook freebies, but this free Funley’s Delicious Snack makes it three in a row. I love their slogan – For all humans with mouths. Doesn’t rule out too many people, does it?

My gut tells me this will die fairly fast, so you might not want to take too long in signing up.

Free Infusium23 Hair Stuff?

I don’t know what this free Infusium23 is supposed to do, but I know it goes in your hair. Okay, I think it does. Maybe it goes on your index finger. I’m not really sure.

It’s a Facebook offer, but do I really have to link to my guide on removing Facebook apps again? I did so in the post right before this one!

Free Green Mountain Coffee

EDIT: This is no longer available.

In order to get this free Green Mountain coffee, you have to like them and then add an application to your profile. I always link to my old guide on how to delete those silly apps, but I’m also frequently asked via email where people can find it. All those folks should look over on the right side, under Pages, for the link that says “How To Delete Facebook Apps.” Yep, that’s the guide!

I do like how the confirmation page shows a lady picking what looks like berries. I don’t know if berry-flavored coffee exists, but if not, I call trademark on it.

5 Free Disney Rewards Points

There’s a new code (V7NK93DQ5Y) out for 5 free Disney Movie Rewards points! Or in other words, 5 free points that nobody knows what to do with.

Free Emergen-C Kidz Drink Mix

It’s one thing to misspell your product to emphasizes what it specializes in. But this free Emergen-C Kidz drink mix sample is unacceptable. Changing the S to a Z is not just stupid, but it guarantees that I now hate whoever signed off on the switch. It’s not cute, it’s not hip, and I think I care a little too much about this.

Look for the purple bubble that says “free sample” near the top in order to access the signup form. Oh, I guess I should mention this is a Facebook offer as well. That stupid Z kinda threw me for a loop.

Free Kleenex Cool Touch

EDIT: This is no longer available.

Okay, now this is downright eerie. Icy Hot, tea, and now free Kleenex Cool Touch? I wish freebies were always this receptive. The Freebie Gods know I’m totally single as well, right?

*looks around his empty living room*

Dang it!

[thanks to everyone who sent this in!]

Free $35 P&G Coupon Booklet

Here is yet another free $35 P&G coupon booklet filed with cleaning supply coupons. According to my records, this is the nine hundredth time this has been offered. Then again, my records aren’t that accurate. Just ask the IRS agent who has audited me the past six years running. Shout out to Agent Ramirez!
