Freebies and free stuff

EDIT: Looks like this is dead already.

You gotta love the slogan for this free Curamin pain reliever sample. Got Pain? Try Curamin! When you think about it, when you’re in pain truly is the perfect time to try a pain reliever, as opposed to when you’re hungry or afflicted with hiccups. Glad they spelled that out for us.

I didn’t get a confirmation message (it redirected me back to the homepage), but when I tried to sign up a second time it told me I’d already registered. So I think the form is working.

Holy frijole, what a haul. These kind of weeks are great reminders of why freebies are fun.

Anybody else pull in a similar haul? If you’re like me, you would have been happy with even a fraction of what you actually got.

In order to get Walmart’s free TRESemme split remedy shampoo, watch any of the videos and then answer “all of the above” to access the freebie form. Of course, if you decide to move the progress bar of the video to the end and skip watching the commercial, you could. I’d have no control to stop you and, if questioned, would say I have no knowledge of any knowledge. I’d make an awesome accomplice.

This is the same offer from a month ago, in case you missed it then.

[thanks Robin!]

EDIT: We caused them to reach their daily limit already, but try again tomorrow. This offer always comes back to life.

Today’s “Hey, this freebie is still available? Oh…okay. Cool?” is this free Hearos ear plugs offer. So… okay. Cool?

You have to confirm your email address, so make sure you remember the password to your throwaway account. That was a hurdle that took me a little too long to surmount.

[thanks to Ben for sending this in!]

It seems the Free Comic Book Day always sneaks up on me. It’s like a pissed-off landlord, but instead of hounding us for the rent, it’ll give us a free comic book tomorrow, May 5, at participating locations. In unrelated news, I wonder if my landlord accepts comic books as a form of payment.

Let’s see, what perpetual freebie should I go with today? How about some free Prilosec OTC? Sure, that sounds good, especially since I’ve already typed and linked to it. If I was a superhero, my power would be Efficient Laziness.

EDIT: Oops, link should be fixed now.

Costco members can receive free Nexxus PRO-MEND Split End Treatment Salon Hair Care shampoo & conditioner holy crap how long is this name while the rest of us can make up a 12 digit number to get the sample as well. It’s eerie that this freebie showed up today as I got a haircut this morning. Is the cosmos trying to tell me I should grow my hair back out? Are the mythical Hair Gods sending me a message that I need to mend my hair? Is it a super lame coincidence?!?

Yeah, okay, it’s just a coincidence, but … COSMOS!

Starting at 8am EST each day, there will be 30,000 free Mrs. Dash original blend spices given away until they eventually hand out 500,000 freebies. You’ll have to use Facebook and temporarily disable secure browsing (click the top, right arrow -> Account Settings -> Security -> Secure Browsing) but you can turn it back on after you sign up.

Complicated enough for ya?

Is there a more simultaneous cute and disgusting moment than what’s pictured above? Every time my dogs surprise me like that, I react with “awww …. ewwwww.” It won’t change matters even if they eat this free Holistic Select dog or cat food first. I’ve seen what they sniff when we go on walks. I know too much.

If you’re planning on making a $10 purchase at Bath & Body Works before May 17, make sure to use this coupon for a free fragrance. Any guess on what the fragrance will smell like? Obvious money is on something floral, what with the giant flower on the coupon and all. But I’m in need of some cash, so I’m taking the longshot and betting everything on peanut butter.
