Free Spark Energy Drink

I wonder sometimes who comes up with the names for energy drinks, and if they check them to see if there’s anything named similar to it. Like this free Spark energy drink. When I first saw it? I thought of the Sparks “adult malted energy” drinks. Sadly? This is not one of those…

Free Republic of Tea Samples

EDIT: Well, seeing this freebie is now dead, I guess you could say that its emp-tea!

I drink so much tea everyday that I’ve become sort of a tea snob. To me, that and my Dr. Who addiction puts me one step closer to being British without giving up my American citizenship.

So while I’m waiting for the next season of my favorite bow-tie wearing Gallifreyan to come back (wasn’t the close to the season phenomenal?!), I’ll just enjoy this free Republic of Tea sample while I wait for my pot of the good stuff to brew… Kamiya Papaya Oolong and My Morning Mate? Yes please to Teavanna anyday!

Free CMJ Spin Mixtape

So not only does Spin magazine have all of their usual mixtapes and downloads and freebies, but apparently if you like them on Facebook, you can download a free CMJ Spin mixtape. This begs the question: what if I don’t even like Facebook?

Free Nescafe Peppermint Mocha Coffee

There’s a free Nescafe Peppermint Mocha coffee sample available on Facebook. Forgive me for cutting this post short, but I have to go reset my computer or something. The cooling fan is stuck in the on position. It’s either trying to launch itself into orbit or burst out of the computer and kill me in my sleep.

Free Boyfriend Fragrance Sample

As if it wasn’t enough that all of these real housewives are now “musicians”, now we’re getting random fragrances like this free Boyfriend by Kate Walsh for liking her fragrance on Facebook. What’s next? Free Crazy from Gary Busey?

Free Halloween Greeting Card Again

Free Halloween Card

EDIT: This is no longer available.

The free Tiny Prints Halloween greeting card offer is back for today only. Like last time, you get free shipping if you send it to your own house, but it costs $.44 to ship anywhere else. Also like last time, I can’t avoid cards with puns. I went with the Happy Owloween card.

Oh, it might help if I gave you the coupon code. It’s AUTUMN11. The code didn’t work for me until I signed into my account, so you’ll want to do that or make one first.

Freebies Received: Weeks #87-89

Freebies from Hey, It's Free!

Freebies Received

Uh-oh. I’ve officially gotten bad at posting these “weekly” freebies received post. I might have to turn this series over to Hiffers somehow.

I love how Town & Country has an article titled “Caviar & Cocaine.”

Free Photoshoot and Photos at Sears

My wife and I don’t have enough pictures of ourselves around our apartment. I mean, seriously. The only pictures we have (other than her graduation picture and a collage from her sister) is one from about 8 years ago!

So maybe I’d better print out this Sears coupon for a free photoshoot and $30 photo package and make it in to my local Sears before November 15th. That way I can stop slacking on the pictures and wait another 8 years…

Free L’Occitane en Provence Hand Cream

You can sign up on Facebook for a free 10ml L’Occitane en Provence hand cream voucher, which is a $5 value. If they reach 250k fans, then the sample will be upgraded to the $10 value 30ml size. They’ll send the vouchers so you can take them into a nearby location to pick up your freebie. I don’t happen to live near one, so I plan on rubbing the voucher all over my hands. It’ll provide the same benefits, right?

Free Horse Training DVD

So while some people might wonder why we’d ever need a free horse training DVD, I can only smugly reply that when the zombie apocalypse takes out all forms of life and we have noone to work our refineries for fuel for our cars, I’ll already be a step ahead and able to ride off into the sunset! Or maybe I’ll just teach my horse to stomp his foot to count all of the zombies…
