Freebies and free stuff

These free Purina Beneful baked treats on Facebook make it sound like our dogs are geting high. I honestly don’t need a dog that’s more lethargic.

You have to add an app in order to get this freebie. Hopefully you’ve taken my advice and created a freebie-only Facebook account by now. If not, there are also instructions on that page on how to remove this and any other unwanted apps from your profile.

You can earn 40 free Recyclebank points by clicking the image above. It should direct you to a page where you can take a quiz (near the top right) and submit a recipe (near the bottom right). Each will give you 20 points, thus… yep, 20+20 is 40. Glad I got that right.

EDIT: A better number would be zero, which is a horrible, completely accurate number.

There are only 15,000 free Ecover laundry detergent samples available on Facebook. Because nothing says Environmentalism like mailing a few thousand packages.

I have no idea how many of these are left. Let’s say … 3,180. That sounds like a good, completely made up number.

Thanks to everybody who entered the Amazon Kindle Fire contest this week. I think the total number of entries broke the previous record for any of our previous contests, which is nifty. But you don’t care about that, you probably want to know who won.

So congratulations to Katelyn (kjb222***) and Pat K (patkaneshiro8***)! Both of you should have an email with instructions on how to get your prize, but if you don’t see it, hit me up.

Thanks again to everyone who entered and I’ll be doing another contest shortly!

That title looks weird.

Hiffer Andrew recently posted on our Facebook wall about a free AcneFree offer. Like them, request the freebie, then free your acne to roam wild on a farm upstate.

I call bologna on this free Better Homes and Gardens magazine subscription. I’ve been receiving this magazine for months now. Yet no matter how often I throw my issues against the wall, they never seem to better my home. In fact, they make it look like I just throw trash everywhere.

I guarantee this dies fast, so good luck. Also, make sure you uncheck the box at the bottom where it asks if you want to join some opinion survey site.

One day I’ll correctly type free Tena Twist instead of Tina Twist on my first attempt. Then a flock of pigs will fly in formation overhead and elves will do all my laundry.

EDIT: Aw, it died.

Thanks to whoever just sent in this free Burt’s Bees moisturizing cream link. This stuff is like liquified rainbows.

I try to take certain days off. Weekends aren’t a must, but I like taking them off so I have a semblance of balance between work and personal time, like most people. Christmas, Thanksgiving, and 4th of July are always nice free holidays. Then you’ve got Easter, New Years Day, Talk Like A Pirate Day, Wednesdays, National “Insert Dessert Food Here” Days – you know, the usual. But my birthday is one of those random days where I always say “no, no, I’m going to treat it like any other day” and then by mid-afternoon I’m like “screw it, I’m out of here.”

Today is that day. The freebies are especially weak today anyway.

In lieu of extravagant gifts hand sculpted from gold, I humbly ask that you follow my personal accounts on your social network(s) of choice.

Thanks in advance. My fans on these places are like a sounding board for little projects I do outside of HIF, some of which eventually develop into larger stuff. You guys rock!

Since my memory is so bad, I like to invent little games to exercise it. Todays activity was memorizing the 5 point Pampers Gifts to Grow code of TWITL9E8XAGTG12 instead of merely copy & pasting it. I failed miserably for 10 minutes then got distracted on Twitter and Wikipedia. In the end I pretended my keyboard was a piano and wildly mashed buttons to a made up song in my head. And it worked!

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!
