Freebies and free stuff

You can tell that I spend more time working my retail job than even hunting at all because when I see the name “Henry,” I don’t think of this free Henry rifle catalog and sticker. Nope. I think of hangers and visual displays.

I guess some guy named Henry was the world’s first Visual Manager.

Walmart has released some free Aquafresh Extreme Clean Pure Breath Action toothpaste and I can’t stop laughing at the picture of an open mouth. As if we thought bad breath came from our fingertips.

The Daphne’s Greek Cafe birthday freebie wants to “treat you to a delicious meal.” Sounds good to me.

Signup Freebie: Free hummus & pita starter.
Birthday Freebie: Free entree.

Who wants to be the first one to cleverly point out that the image above is “expired.” That’s what I thought. But remember, if you want to get your very own non-expired coupon at a ton of different restaurants, all you have to do is sign up with them!

A long time ago I read an interview with Mike Myers and he got to talking about the urinating scene in Austin Powers. You know, the one where Powers is unfrozen and then for the next (what seems like) 10 minutes he stands in front of a urinal peeing? Myers talked about how he loved situations that went on for way longer than they should have. At first it’s funny, then annoying, then it’s even funnier than at first, then you’re seriously bored and wanting it to end, then suddenly it’s the funniest thing you’ve ever seen.

I’m at the “seriously bored and wanting it to end” stage for these 5 free Disney Movie Rewards points codes. They never end! What new and funny thing am I supposed to say about HSIU87FJ457? I’m tapped. I’m spent. I’m officially over them! I’ve made anagrams and acronyms out of them. I’ve pretended they were my license plate or PIN numbers. For the record, my favorite was when I pretended they were words of wisdom from my dad. But the only thing left is to, I don’t know, pretend you have to pronounce them. Hsss-eye-you. Hiss-e-ooo. Hhh-sue-ate!

Hey, I think I’m finally coming out of this nosedive!

Facebook changed stuff recently and now some people are having trouble seeing our Facebook updates on their homepage. Hey, don’t look at me! Zuckerberg screwed things up.

Facebook Lists for Freebies

First, let’s talk about Facebook Lists. They’re a new feature and they’re awesome. You can create lists and add certain people and pages to them. Family and Close Friends are no-brainer types of lists, but why not make a freebies list?

To start, go to the Facebook homepage and you’ll notice that your lefthand sidebar should look something like this. Click the “more” link next to Lists.

With all of these different types of creme and lotions for our body, I keep wondering how our bodies know the difference? I mean, if I rub foot creme on my face, will I be able to walk on my face? Or hand creme on my feet, I might be able to pull an orangutan-like move and peel banana’s with my finger-toes.

So all I can do is “like” L’Occitane and then click on the tab to get the free L’Occitane hand creme coupon to bring into my local store and find out. I mean, seriously, feet-hands? That’s gotta be something awesome, if you ask me…

I’ve been craving a Big Mac recently. I haven’t had one in ages, but something tells me that it’s what I need now. And because of the Monopoly game? Well, it doesn’t matter what someone says, whenever I see the word “monopoly,” I think of a Big Mac. So my Pavlovian senses were tingling when I saw this free Picturing Monopoly poster offer.

But after loading the page? I’m thinking more like calamari tonight. I’m so easily influenced and swayed…

EDIT #2: The good news is they bumped the freebie count from 25k to 50k. The bad news is they’re all out.

EDIT: Don’t bother playing the stupid games. Just keep hitting “next.”

This is one of those offers that will die within twenty minutes, but hey, free shirts are pretty rare. I don’t know what convinced Wendy’s to build an ad campaign around a 1980s commercial, but here we are – the first 25,000 of us to sign up on Facebook will get a free Here’s The Beef t-shirt. It’s best not to think about it too much. Just put your head down and power through the offer.

They’ve just hit the 1,000 mark, so you best sign up now!

Back when I was taking various supplements with my workouts, I’d lose track of what I was taking when. Not only that, but I had one of those 7 day a week morning-noon-night-bed holders. If only I had this free medicine tracker guide, I feel like maybe I could have kept track of it easier or something…

So before seeing this free childhood obesity magnet, I had no idea that there was a “Go, Slow, Whoa” program about eating food. For me, I see it as simply this: I’m going to go to my fridge where I’ll realize that everything cooks way too slow, so I’m going to open my freezer and enjoy some ice cream like whoa.

Makes sense to me!
