Free Barista Prima Coffeehouse K-Cups

Target is offering free Barista Prima Coffeehouse K-Cup varieties, which translates to those little individual serving pods that some coffee makers use. You’d think I’d have something like that since I live alone, but you’d be wrong. Every morning I make a giant pot of coffee and drink every drop. It constitutes at least 75% of the time I spend in the kitchen “cooking.”

Free Back to School Mix from Sony Vaio

Usually whenever I’m finding some sort of free mix tape online, I’m laughing at the obscurity of the artists. I mean, if its so obscure that I haven’t heard of the artists involved? Yeah, its pretty bad.

So to me, this free Back to School mixtape from Sony Vaio (link is directly for the ZIP file) is fairly mainstream. I mean, look at the tracklisting:

two door cinema club – i can talk
mike doughty – na na nothing
awolnation – not your fault
she wants revenge – take the world
the summer set – late night television
innerpartysystem – not getting any better
robert ellis – westbound train
go radio – any other heart
nikki lane – gone, gone, gone
ian axel – this is the new year
the static jacks – into the sun
art brut – axl rose
fool’s gold – street clothes
motionless in white – creatures
the trews – hope and ruin
new villager – lighthouse
bear hands – high society
one model nation – mission to mars
emil and friends – downed economy
twin atlantic – edit me
the word alive – 2012
a skylit drive – too little too late
shirock – still young
happy body slow brain – never love

Mainstream! As if the Ian Axel, Go Radio, and Two Door Cinema Club wasn’t enough! Ha!

That Go Radio reminds me that I should listen to the new Mayday Parade again…

Free Teaching History Posters

A buddy of mine in Florida interviewed for what would have been my dream job about 6 years ago in education. Now? Well, a job in education would give me a place to hang up some of these free teaching history posters. That, and hopefully an endless supply of free apples.

Free Negotiation Book

You know, Goob and I don’t post many books. That’s not to say we don’t read, but most of these book freebies nowadays are for eBooks or downloadable content that’s a dime a dozen. Sometimes, however, I come across something like this free pdf book on negotiation that’s just way too good to pass up. Maybe I could use what I learn in this book to e-mail the site and negotiate getting a print copy of the book? Or maybe I’ll just negotiate a bigger slice of the pie. Mmm… pie…

Free Be Enchanted Sample at Bath and Body Works This Weekend

Usually Goob and I are more on top of these weekend freebies, but this time? I guess he and I both dropped the ball on this free Be Enchanted sample at Bath and Body Works with this coupon this weekend (10/14-10/16). Maybe that means we’re both not enchanted? I blame it on me watching Green Lantern today and being upset that they didn’t cast Avery Brooks as John Stewart.

50 Free Disney Rewards Points

Enter all of the following words and get 50 free Disney Movie Rewards points!

  • AUTUMN
  • BOO
  • HOOK
  • PUMPKIN
  • SCARY

What’s up with the random “hook” word? I get the other four – it’s autumn, people are dressing scary and screaming boo while others are carving pumpkins. Wait, do people carve pumpkins with hooks now? Is that a thing?! Finally, I have an excuse to bust out my old pirate costume from when I was 12! It might be a tight fit, but people find grown men wearing childrens costumes adorable. Right?

Free Seventh Generation Dish Soap

EDIT: Wow. That died fast.

You can get up to five free Seventh Generation dish soap samples on Facebook – one for you and four for your friends. It’d be nice if Seventh Generation would just send all five samples to you. No, not so you could keep them all, but so you could have your friends come over to pick them up in person. I’d get them in the door, show them the freebie, and then say they’d only get it if they first cleaned my dishes.

Free 2012 Joyce Meyer Calendar

This free 2012 Joyce Meyer calendar is one of the rare freebies where you might receive junk mail. I get four or five letters from them throughout the year asking for … well, I have no idea as I always throw them away. I like to imagine they’re the only food my trash can will eat and then I make “nom nom nom” sounds as I toss them out.

I’m easily amused.

Free alternaVites Sample

I keep buying more and more vitamins so I can look like Popeye and be all big-armed with anchors on them. Maybe what I really needed was just this free alternaVites sample. That, and some anchor temporary tattoos.
