Freebies and free stuff

With holiday season in full swing, it’s more important than ever to save a few bucks. Luckily, I’ve compiled some coupons for a variety of everyday products, allowing you some extra spending cash for this month’s gifts and parties. Of course, you could save even more money by just giving out a bunch of freebies as presents this year. It’s a little-known* fact that 92% of people include mini bottles of shampoo and toothpaste on their gift wishlist.

As always, you can find many more coupons similar to these at HIF’s Coupons.com and SmartSource pages.

*And by little-known, I mean made up.

Coupons are becoming very mainstream these days, and I’m not so sure how I feel about that. I think it’s great that so many people are benefitting from using coupons, but now when I go to the grocery store, I feel more like the average shopper and less like a member of the super-secret coupon club. At least I have my Emo Squirrel Club to fall back on. I’d tell you more about it, but it’s top secret. I can share these coupons with you, though.

Halloween is fast approaching, and I’m excited for haunted hayrides and costume parties. That reminds me, I need to get working on my costume.

I recently started the fun-yet-frustrating process of looking for a new car and I can’t help but wonder why manufacturers don’t make auto coupons. I mean, just think about how awesome it would be to find a 50% off coupon for a Nissan or a BOGO coupon for any Toyota. It would be even better if some big auto executive read this post and sent me a freebie car (hint, hint). In the meantime, I suppose these other coupons will do:

Apparently the lazy days of summer have already started for me, hence the recent lack of a Random Coupon post. I wish I could say I’ve been relaxing on an exotic beach or jet-setting to Europe, but I’ve really just been selling my sister’s possessions at rummage sales while she’s out of town.
