Hey, It’s Free!

EDIT: Deadinated

This free Gillette shampoo is marketed as being made for men, which is about darn time. I’m tired of my hair smelling like apples and cumquats. Why must every girly shampoo smell like a fruit?

But now I’m getting confused. The marketing for this freebie talks about getting ride of dirt and grim. Is this supposed to be used to wash my hair or an engine block? Maybe both?

Not only can you get a free Huge Boss fragrance sample, but you can send a sample to your friend as well. In fact, maybe you’ll want to send a sample to your “friend” next door whom you’ve never spoken to. Then when your sample comes in the mail, you might stroll over and take out the sample you sent to your friend.

Of course, I’m pretty sure that’s breaking a few federal laws, so you probably won’t want to do that. But hey, it’s still an idea for those of you who like to live on the edge!

If you have a CVS near you, be sure to stop by any time this month and use your CVS extracare card to get a freebie. Basically, all you have to do is make any purchase and have your card swiped and then look at your receipt to see what “prize” you’ve won. So far, people have gotten one of the following items:

Free CVS Mouthwash 250ml (2.49)
Free CVS Loratadine Allergy 5ct (4.49)
Free CVS Aspirin, 10-120 ct ($1.99)
Free CVS Ibuprofen, 10-24ct (up to $3.49)
Free CVS Hand Sanitizer 2 oz. ($1.49)
Free CVS Chapstick (1.49?)
Free CVS Aspirin 100 ct. ($1.99)
Free CVS Acetaminophen (4.29)
Free CVS Toothbrush, Any (.99 to $7.99)
Free CVS Cotton Swabs, 50 ct. (.99)

I haven’t tried it yet, but fingers crossed I get the aspirin. I’ve had a headache for almost the entire past week. It’s hard to be funny when all you want to do is take a hammer and bang your own head!

I’m pretty thankful that I don’t have any use for this free potty training kit. Do you know how embarrassing it would be to say I was 25 and not potty trained? What kind of people out there are not potty trained but surfing the internet looking for freebies?

Oh, what’s that? This is intended to be used by parents with their kids? Ooooh. Well that makes a bit more sense.

For anybody who has requested some free HIF stickers recently, check out these free polar bear stickers to tide you over in the meantime. You have to send an e-mail to them in order to request the freebie, but seeing as how most of us send a million e-mails daily, that shouldn’t be much of a problem.

EDIT2: Call the mortician!

EDIT: Apparently this is a contest and they’re only giving away 300 of these. My bad, folks. Apparently I can’t read today.

According to Johnson’s free Melt Away Stress lotion, the solution for too much stress is getting so hot it melts away. No wonder people on tropical islands are always so laid back and relaxed.

I’m not sure how many of you out there need a free Craftsman Tools hat, but here you go regardless! I have quite the weird relationship with hats. Growing up, I never went anywhere without one, but then my head decided to rebel against being constantly covered. I now have a lumpy head that rejects just about any hat I try and put on it.

Oh yeah, you’ll need a code to get there, which is COOLTOOLS

Man, this free Hannah Montana wake up call is a rip off. It’s just some pre-recorded baloney! Call me crazy, but I think Miley Cyrus should be forced to get up super early and physically make all these calls herself. In fact, to prove that I’m way cooler and more awesome than some annoying teenager, I’ll do just that. Contact me with your free Grandcentral number, a date, and a time and you just might be getting a free Goob wake up call

Maybe this coupon for some Downy Total Care laundry detergent will last longer than straight up freebies that Wal Mart usually offers. Of course, since I just jinxed it, that probably won’t happen. Regardless, you have to be happy with a detergent that takes total care of your clothes though. I once bought some half care detergent and my clothes were looking pretty pathetic afterwords.

Almost as pathetic as that joke I just made!

Do you have the upcoming start of school date circled a million times on your calendar? Have the kids informed you they’re bored for the millionth time this month yet? Then get them this free GeoTrax DVD and enjoy 30 minutes of peace.

I haven’t the slightest idea what this cartoon is about, though. What do I look like, somebody who watches Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends on Cartoon Network all day long? On second thought, don’t answer that. What I DO know, however, is that I hope this isn’t something that my little brother will get hooked on. Then he’ll beg me nonstop for more videos and I’ll have to buy them, thus making me loose money on this little deal. So here’s to hoping this is a highly mediocre and forgettable DVD!

I’m not much of a cook, but I try my hardest. And by “try my hardest” I mean “take food and then drench it in seasonings.” I don’t even care if this free McCormick steak seasoning isn’t any good. By the time I’m through cooking with it, there will be so many other seasonings mixed in that your taste buds will probably implode after only two bites.

I’m still finding trash in my yard from the 4th of July weekend. I’m not joking. I’m not sure if you can have too much of a good time, but I’m seriously thinking about it now! I’m fairly confident that I’ll still be picking up garbage by the time these free Glad Force Flex trash bags arrive, so at least I’ll have somewhere to put it all.

Friend of the site Alissa of Free Samples Direct is giving away $25 to whoever sends the most traffic her way over the next week. Now, I doubt HIF will win, but if we do I’ll turn around and give it away to one of my lucky readers.**

No, the reason I like FSD is because it’s actually a darn good freebie site. There’s only six other freebie sites I read on a daily basis and it’s at the top of my list. Most people mention that they like how I keep all of those spammy fake “freebies” off of HIF - well, FSD is no different. In fact, she’s so good at finding legit freebies, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve found a freebie on her site before I’ve been able to post it on HIF

So check out Free Samples Direct!

** Here’s the deal. Leave a comment on this post telling me what you like best about HIF or what I could do to make it better and if I win the prize, I’ll pick a random commenter and forward the money to them!

It’s a well documented fact (in my head) that the freebie supply goes up and down. One month I’m search high and low for hours looking for quality freebies and the next I’ve got too many to post. I don’t mind this, because I have fun looking for freebies, but it does hinder my posting ability here on HIF.

So, I’m going to start including posts on how to get a lot of stuff for just a little bit of money. Case in point, how to get 6 full bags of candy and 4 movie tickets for a mere $14, which I found over on Centsible Sawyer yesterday. Our very own Froggie on the forums went to CVS the other day and paid around $20 for over $80 worth of stuff!

There are some great deals out there if you know where to look. Anybody care to share their best coupon saving stories?

Well, kinda. Head on over to Cheerios website and give them your e-mail address. Then they’ll e-mail you on July 28 when their Cheerios Challenge starts and offer you a way to get some free Cheerios. I’m not sure if it’ll be a printable coupon of it you’ll be able to sign up via the Internet for it, but I do know that I don’t care since I love Cheerios. I used to think they tasted like cardboard, but now I kinda dig the plainness of them.

It makes me wonder if they still taste like cardboard and I’ve just grown to like that taste though. I’ll go munch on a few old boxes outside and let you know how it turns out.
