Ok, now I really have to run. I’ll try and get a few more up while I’m inevitably sitting on the tarmac. Have a great day, everybody!
I’m running out the door to the airport and am a little…what’s the phrase…late? No, that’s not it. Super duper late. Yes! That’s what I’m looking for. So for today, instead of posts with flowing setups and weak punchlines, I’m going to throw as many freebies as I can at ya. Think of it as HIF’s version of the Lightning Round.
This free Kraft Smile savings booklet and calendar is actually a back to school promotion, to which I say…huh? Isn’t it July 2? Who in the world is heading back to school already? Beats me, but the allure of $55 worth of coupons spread out over the upcoming year is enough for me to sign up.
Sign #283 that makes it abundantly clear I’m a single male with no children: Upon seeing this free baby calendar offer, I asked myself why a baby would need a calendar. I then was sucked into further futile pondering when I acquiesced that even if a baby needed a calendar to keep track of all his or her important meetings, how would that differ from a regular calendar? Wouldn’t you just say “free calendar” and then hand it to the baby?
It’s times like these I wonder how much lead paint I ate as a kid.
Teen Vogue is giving away a free Emma Watson poster, but I don’t know who she is. Is she that girl from the thing? Or was she in that other thing with whatshisname? Okay, fine, I’m trying to hide the fact that I’m a massive Harry Potter nerd.
Also, and this has nothing to do with this freebie, but I know that the comments are acting weird today. I’m looking into it, but my Internet keeps going up and down.
These free Sundiwear stickers are pretty darn cool. You wear them outside and then they turn red after a certain amount of sunlight has hit them, thus letting you know it’s probably time to seek out shade or sunscreen. Too bad these things weren’t around when I was kid as I have a feeling they’re a bit more helpful than the method I always used. I’d spend a day outside playing with my friends and then wake up the next morning and go “huh, I got sunburned!”

There’s another free Lowe’s Build & Grow clinic tomorrow from 10-11am where your kids can make a free putting green for father’s day. I’ve always said it’s never too early to introduce the little ones to arguably the most frustrating sports ever invented. It’s the perfect remedy for anybody suffering from low blood pressure and/or an inflated ego.
Oh … I mean have fun!
People have been sending me this link for free kids bowling at AMF for the past few weeks now, but I kept filing away the emails because I thought I’d already posted it. Whoops. Anyway, register on the site and you’ll get a pass that allows children under the age of 15 to get two free games of bowling every day before 5pm throughout the summer. You have to pay for shoe rentals, but some people emailing me said they’ve used the pass so many times already that they just went ahead and bought a pair of shoes.
Well I viewed that as a challenge and am now the proud owner of a bowling alley! All it cost me was every penny I had plus a loan that’s certain to cripple me for the next few decades, but I think it’s more than worth it. I probably won’t even get bored of bowling until August!
We posted this free GeoTrax DVD offer last summer, but the previous link no longer works and I think this is a new DVD? I can’t be certain as I didn’t actually watch the movie when I got it. I figured I didn’t really need another reason to start drinking before noon.
If you have kids, then pray you also have some Regal theatres (stupid spelling) nearby so that you can partake in their Free Family Film Festival. For nine weeks, G & PG movies will play at 10am each Tuesday and Wednesday for free on a first-come, first-serve basis. Some of the states I looked at are having their first batch of films tomorrow, but others don’t start until next week or even the next.
Unfortunately, I don’t see any Pixar movies listed. If I was only able to watch one company’s movies for the rest of my life … well let’s just say I’m glad I already got to see Saving Private Ryan. Although, I wonder what that would look like animated! Heck, they’ve already got Tom Hanks’ voice!
When I was growing up, a pair of binoculars was equivalent to two toilet paper tubes. It was free, and I could make one almost every week! And if those were out, well, I’d cut a paper towel roll in half! Genius!
But now, kids have it easy. With the internets, all they have to do is click to get a free REI seven function kids binoculars. Man, if only there were internets when I was younger… I wouldn’t have had to unroll so much toilet paper!

Adam wrote about this free sippy cup from Juicy Juice back in July of ‘08, but it appears that the offer is still alive and kicking. Some might wonder why a grown man with no children would sign up for this offer, but my answer is quite simply: it’s the perfect size for rum & cokes with all the spill-proof protection that an inebriated person needs! Although if you do have kids, you’ll want to make sure you don’t accidentally swap each other’s cups. That has disaster written all over it.
For a limited time offer, they have a free water bottle available as well.
[thanks to Betty for letting me know this was still available!]
Some people may think these free GoodNites Boxers are only useful if you have a child, but that couldn’t be any further from the truth. I plan on fashioning my sample into some sort of shield for the next water gun battle I become engaged in. In fact, I find you can never be too prepared for such a battle, especially during the summer months. I refuse to leave my house without my main gun, a few single shot guns hidden strategically around my body, and a cooler full of water balloons.
And to think, my tenth grade math teacher said I’d never make much of myself. How does that crow taste, Mr. Jones?!
Growing up, I probably spent 50% of my free time playing with LEGOs. The other half was equally divided between Micro Machines, Ninja Turtles, and Ghostbusters. But LEGOs reigned supreme in my life, which is why I got quite excited when I saw this free LEGO education kit offer. It looks like a bag of random pieces and yet I just spent twenty minutes squinting at them and trying to image what I’ll build.
At the very least, you can stack all the pieces together and throw it at people. I like to call that creation an AOP – Attention Obtaining Projectile.
If you’re still scrambling to come up with ideas for occupying the munchkins this summer, you might want to check out these free Apple Summer Workshops for kids 8-12. Apple Stores across the country will be providing kids with computers, digital cameras, and camcorders to help them create and produce digital masterpieces, such as slideshows, movies, and songs. They have a Camp Permission Statement with some additional fine print, but it sounds like a pretty cool activity to me. Then again, I’m a 26 year old who still plays with Legos, so I may not be on the cutting edge of what’s cool these days.
There’s another free Lowes Build & Grow clinic for kids tomorrow at 10am. This time it looks like they’ll be building a Ready 2 Go kit, which…what the heck is that? Is it like a bug-out bag? If so, I guess that’s not such a bad idea.
In fact, let me make a few suggestions as to what important items should go in a person’s BOB. *rummages through his bag* Let’s see, flashlight, sleeping bag, book of ghost stories, smores ingredients, can of shaving cream…
Hmmm. On second thought, this looks more life a sleep-over bag. I don’t think there’s any way I’ll be surviving a major disaster.
Hey there, I'm Goob and this is Hey, It's Free, otherwise known as HIF. I spend my days looking for 100% legit, non-spammy freebies. Have a look around and pretty soon you'll realize we're the #1 site for free stuff!
