Freebies and free stuff

Who exactly are these free Kirkland Supreme Diapers from Costco for? Bigfoot? Look at the photo up there; I’m pretty sure that entire family could climb into one of these.

Not content with giving away free toys on Halloween (more on that soon!), Sears is also giving away a free Halloween-themed portrait collage worth $44! You’ve got until Saturday, October 31 to use the coupon and the fine print says nothing about making an additional purchase.* So if your kid looks especially cute in their costume this year (and come on, how can they not?), you might want to take advantage of this.

*According to Freebies 4 Mom, some people have had mixed success with this. If you’re interested, make sure to call your local store and confirm they’re participating.

The site for these free Pampers Extra Protection diapers via Walmart have these little stars that are … twinkling? I guess. It’s kind of a flickering to me; as if they need to have their light bulbs changed.

They only have size 4 and 5 available, so these are for giant babies or average-sized kids who are a bit older.

I have no idea what a Frankenstring magic trick kit is, but that’s what they’re building at the next free Lowe’s Build & Grow Clinic this Saturday, October 24 from 10-11am. Anybody with half a brain knows that magic is fantastic, so this should be a fun little toy to build. I just wish I could actually do some magic. I always end up picking the wrong card or setting my sleeve on fire.

With Christmas approaching faster than I’d like, it’s time to start thinking about presents and looking for coupons we can use. Because if there’s one thing I learned last year, I’m too old to give out “One Free Hug” coupons as gifts.

SmartSource has the following coupons available:

• $2.00 off for Ice Age, Ice Age 2: The Meltdown or Spaceballs DVD
• $2.00 off for Bend it Like Beckham, Aquamarine or Flicka DVD
• $5.00 off for Ice Age or Ice Age 2: The Meltdown Blu-Ray
• $5.00 off Horton Hears a Who or Spaceballs Blu-Ray

Meanwhile, Disney has three coupons available for some of their shows. The coupons are $10/2, $20/3, and $30/4 and the DVDs they can be used on are:

• Sonny with a Chance: Sonny’s Big Break
• The Suite Life on Deck: Anchors Away!
• Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana
• JONAS: Rockin’ The House

Wow. I’ve heard of all those shows. There’s something wrong with that fact.

Anybody know of any other DVD coupon offers available? If so, let us know about them in the comments!

Disney has a free rewards program where you find and enter codes that earn you points which can be redeemed for prizes. We have a thread on the forums where we’re beginning to collect any codes we find, but to get everybody started, here are five codes that collectively will earn 105 points:

1. TINA – worth 20 points
2. GOBLOON – worth 30 points
3. GRAVEYARDS – worth 40 points
4. EN9FNF93N2 – worth 5 points
5. LIGHT – worth 10 points

If you happen to know of any valid codes, please feel free to join up on the forums and post them in the Disney thread.

There’s a coupon available for a free Happy Baby Organic Food product. I don’t have a baby and doubt I can get one before the 11/10/09 expiration date, but if you happen to already have one and live near a store that carries this product, you’re all set.

Oh man, not these again! My sister has these free PETA stickers for kids and every time I go home, I have to see them and be reminded of how cute animals are. You know, it’s really hard to eat meat when you’re constantly being reminded of where it comes from. I enjoy my ignorance and would appreciate it if I could continue believing in the Meat Fairy, which is where all delicious food comes from obviously.

EDIT: They’re out of their 30,000 samples!

Wait a minute…this free Little Duck Organics baby food isn’t actually made from little ducks, right? I admit, I’m not up to date on the current organic trends, but I’m hoping making food out of baby ducks isn’t the latest craze. We have to put our foot down someplace, people! I’m not afraid to lead the way and be the first to say no to feeding cute, adorable ducks to our children! Who’s with me?!

THANK GOODNESS! Every time I visit home, I bring along any Box Tops For Education I’ve recently collected. Yet every time I go to pack them, I notice that only a quarter made it in the Ziploc bag I use while the rest are scattered throughout my junk drawer. Heck, whenever I’m digging through my tupperware cabinet (which is underneath my junk drawer), I find five or six freaking box tops codes. I don’t even know how they get down there or what my siblings’ schools use these for, but now there’s a free collection bin that I can sign up for in exchange for joining their newsletter.

Holy moly, that flu was evil! I apologize for taking off in the middle of the week, but here’s a secret: I’m a big wimp. As soon as my temperature hits 100, I curl up in the fetal position, suck my thumb, and start crying out for my mommy. It’s also what I do when confronted with physical violence or spiders, but that’s beside the point. I’m a semi-functioning human again, so back to the freebies and thanks to everybody who sent in their regards over the past few days!

Oh, whoops, I almost forgot about the freebie. The next free Lowe’s Build & Grow Clinic is this Saturday, October 10, from 10-11am. They’ll be building a ball toss and space is limited, so register now if you think you’ll go!

Walmart has a new link up for free Goodnites Underpants, but it’s linking directly to a StartSampling page and in the world of freebie blogs, that’s like trying to enter a black hole. Usually their links just reload the current page. I don’t know what they’re doing over there at StartSampling, but they’re making me look like a genius.¹

In case you’re having trouble getting the link to work, I’ll post it in the comments so that you can copy and paste it. Luckily for you, I have nothing better to do on a Saturday afternoon!

This free Subway Teacher’s Kit is only available for subway riders…wait, that doesn’t sound right…

Ah, yes, teachers can sign up for the free kit which comes with “tools they need to bring fitness and nutrition education into the classroom.” I haven’t been able to find out what exactly is in the kit, but then again I’m not a teacher. The state still won’t certify my license even though I teacher people how to get freebies every day!

Disney announced on Good Morning America yesterday that if you spend a day volunteering with a participating organization, then starting on January 1, 2010 you can get a free one-day admission to Disney World or Disneyland. They haven’t released a list of the participating groups yet, but if you think you might want to take part in the offer, they suggest signing up for e-mail alerts which will let you know when pre-registration starts since ticket quantities are limited.

A maximum of 8 family member can participate and children must be at least 6 years old to qualify. So you could theoretically get a free day of admission for the entire family during your next vacation. Not too shabby! Although I’m not too sure I ever want to ride It’s A Small World again. It creeped me out when I was 4, it somehow got even creepier when I was 10, and I don’t want to risk seeing what’s it’s become now!

Holy. Crap. A fifth in-store freebie for tomorrow? Am I being punk’d? Sure, Toys Backwards-R Us is hosting a free Geoffrey’s Birthday Party this Saturday, September 26, from 12-3 pm. There will be a birthday parade, activities and free giveaways. But this just doesn’t seem right. Five in-store freebies on the same day has never happened before and frankly, I’m scared. I’m pretty sure this was one of the ancient Mayans predictions of the impending Armageddon.
