Freebies and free stuff

EDIT: This is no longer available.

I’ve known Garnier for their hair care products. Believe me, when you have crazy curly hair like me? It’s sort of hard to NOT know companies who have hair care products. But to see this free Garnier wrinkle cream sample? Something about it just doesn’t sit right with me…

Maybe its because I shaved off my beard about 5 years ago?

As if it wasn’t enough that I dressed up as Matt Smith for Halloween–with a throw-back to Tennant’s Chucks–I now am glad that I found these free Norma Kamali 3D glasses to make my next year’s costume a little more like David Tennant.

Now, just to order that sonic screwdriver pen…

EDIT: This is no longer available.

I keep telling myself that I need to get back to the gym. I keep signing up for freebies to go to the gym. And I keep telling myself that I need to get back into supplements and logging my food, so that I can do the whole gym thing more effectively.

Maybe this free K-OTIC sample kit for workout boosters will be the freebie tipping point. Then again, maybe I should just write a series of “How to use freebies to lose weight” posts… Hmmm…

I had deja vu when I found this free Kotex Natural Balance liners just now. Maybe its because I had a different link for them a few weeks ago? Form worked for me again, so maybe it’ll work for everyone else too…

EDIT: It looks like this offer is no longer available.

When I got the mail this evening and unloaded the latest issue of Martha Stewart Living that I’ll probably never read, it occurred to me that I seem to find all of the free magazines that I’m just not interested in. And then, I came home and I found this link for two free magazine subscriptions of your choice: http://www.neamag.com/2011FREE. Sure, I was a little frustrated that I had to copy and paste, but seeing I could actually find some magazines there that interested me? Well, its about time that I find something intellectually stimulating to take me away from playing Angry Birds on my bus rides to and from work…

This is the 42nd code I’ve posted for 10 free Pampers Gifts to Grow points. So FAC1111PYWFNXRD is somehow the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything, right?

If you’re already a member of Pamper’s site, then use this link to head straight to the log-in page. Otherwise, use the first link to sign up!

I wish I had a cool dog to go alongside my cool fat cat. I could have both of them roll over at the same time. I could then get a little saddle for my fat cat to ride around on his back on. Or maybe I’ll just get a corgi so they’ll be about the same size.

Needless to say, if I had a dog I’d like The Honest Kitchen on Facebook for a free pet food voucher that I could take into a participating retailer. Maybe instead I’ll just grab a sample for one of the homeless people I see near work. Tis the season, right?

Tomorrow is Veterans Day and I’m happy to say there are a ton of offers available. To be honest, I couldn’t even begin to cover to them, but The Military Wallet seems to have done the best job. As such, I’m just going to cover the food freebies that I’ve been able to verify. Check out their site for a full list of offers tomorrow.

Unless otherwise noted, these offers are available on Friday, November 11, for all veterans and active duty military personnel who can provide proof of military service. So sorry to anybody who thinks playing Call of Duty all day long qualifies them for a freebie. These guys and gals deserve them way more than us.

7-Eleven – Stop in to get a free small Slurpee between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Applebee’s – Free Signature Entree all day long.

Chili’s – Any lunch combo is free from 11am – 5pm.

Famous Dave’s – Each store is different (check out their site to see what yours is offering), but most are giving away a free Two Meat Salute. I give that Two Sausages Up. Wait … I was referring to my thumbs!

Golden Corral – This year’s Military Appreciation Monday “thank you” dinner is on Monday, November 14 from 5pm – 9pm. It’s open to anyone who has ever served in the U.S. Military and no ID is required.

Hooters – They’re giving away 10 free wings, but a drink purchase is required.

Krispy Kreme – SOME locations are giving away free doughnuts. I’ve found a lot of regional news stations reporting this, but I can’t find anything official from Krispy Kreme, so it’s not a nationwide thing.

McCormick’s and Schmick’s – They’ll hold a Veterans Appreciation Event on Sunday, November 13 and only veterans get a free meal. Space is limited, but you can make a reservation.

Olive Garden – Six different entrees will be given away all day long.

Outback Steakhouse – Get a free Bloomin’ Onion and Coke now through Friday.

Shoney’s – Heroes can receive a free breakfast or lunch buffet with the purchase of a regularly priced buffet.

Subway – Again, there’s no official corporate offer since all Subways are franchises, but Subway’s official Twitter feed confirmed that many locations are offering a 6″ sub. They also say it’d be smart to call ahead to your local store to see if they’re participating. And do you know what I say?! Nothing. I can’t really add to this.

Texas Roadhouse – They have ten different dinner entrees to choose from.

T.G.I. Friday’s – They’re giving away a BOGO dinner on Friday night.

Tim Hortons – They’re giving out free Star Spangled Vanilla Dip donuts adorned with star-shaped sprinkles. Because everybody knows regular sprinkles are for chumps.

Uno Chicago Grill – Get 19.43% off any purchase. Why such an odd number? Well, as Uno explains it, that’s the year Uno was born! So … I still don’t really get it.

I’ll tell you, I wish that I had a few of these free hot drink at Pilot Travel center coupons a few months ago when I was traveling from Illinois out to Seattle. Lord knows it would have come in handy.

Although, I wouldn’t have as many crazy rest stop stories if that was the case. Like how cool it is that the state of Iowa has free wifi in all of their rest stops! So do some of the ones in Utah!

Thanks, Andrew, for posting this on our Facebook wall!

I love freebies like these free Keebler Jumbo Sticks that are in Spanish. It makes something so simple seem exotic… even if it is just the same exact product.
