Hey, It’s Free!

I miss being a kid. Sippy cups were awesome. Sadly, I don’t have any more now, but…

Now, I can go get this free sippy cup from Juicy Juice, and you know what will be the first thing that goes in it? Budweiser. While its still all American.

This sippy cup had better get here fast before the InBev deal goes through…

These free Powerful Girls journal and other goodies are being given away by a government agency (I think), so it’s pretty safe to say they’ll come (I hope). No word on just how powerful one must be in order to qualify for them, but they accepted my submission and I can only bench press 10 pounds.

The U.S. Fire Administration (what the heck is that?) apparently gives away not only four different “fire prevention” posters, but they also have a whole plethora of DVDs, pamphlets, and a whole array of other goodies.

I didn’t order any since I’m a bit paste the stage where I put posters on my wall, but I’m sure there are a few parents out there who might be interested in getting a few for their kids. It’s either these or a bunch of Hannah Montana & High School Musical posters, which incidentally are the #1 source of fires in the Goob household. I can’t stand those freaking things and watching them burn is fun!

Again, like my previous post, this is another baby freebie since that Baby To Bee freebie I posted a few days ago stunk. This time we’ve got some free Parent’s Choice baby formula, which seems like a pretty obvious name to me. Who else is going to choose the baby formula? The baby? If so, that’s one freaking smart baby. It wasn’t until I was three before I started putting things in the shopping cart and it sure wasn’t baby formula! I was was certain if I bought enough Captain Crunch that he’d let me go sailing with him.

Since that Baby To Bee freebie I posted a few days ago seems to be crap, here’s a free Luvs Welcome Kit that comes with a $5 off coupon, a coloring book, and a magnet. That seems like a pretty random group of items, especially for a diaper freebie, but then again I just signed my 10 year old sister up for it. She may not wear diapers any more, but dang it if she’s already bored with summer and needs something more to color!

EDIT: Be sure to check out the comments and leave your opinion on this freebie. Have you signed up for it in the past? What’d you get if anything?

I’m not too sure what all goes into planning for a new child to come into this world, nor am I sure that I could handle it. I have trouble remembering how to put on my own pants. Remember Goob, it’s feet first and zipper in the back! Or is it zipper in the front? Ugh, not again… Thus, if I ever found myself expecting a baby, I’d sign up for some free baby stuff, (WHICH WOULD BE AWESOME if it wasn’t spam - check out the comments) which is for expecting mothers and fathers who have had a child within the past 11 months or are expecting one in the next 9 months.

I didn’t sign up for this (since I’m not expecting and don’t want to “waste” a freebie on me), so I’m not too sure what all you’ll get in this, but they promise a whole lot. But even if it’s simply a booklet of coupons or some diaper samples, it helps, right? If anybody qualifies and signs up for this, let us know what you get via the comments!

EDIT: I’m getting e-mails saying Toys R Us isn’t accepting this coupon now. Has anybody managed to get this to work for them?

You know those weekends where so much happens that it feels like you crammed 10 days worth of stuff into two? Yeah, that’s what I just went through. It feels like it should be Friday already and yet it’s Monday? Doh. I think I’ll go to Toys R Us and use this coupon to get a free Thomas The Tank Engine toy. Then I’ll play with it all day while trying to figure out how much money I recently spent, how I ended up with a goat in my truck, and why the heck was I at the airport at 3am?

On second thought, these are probably mysteries that are better left unsolved. I’m not sure I want to actually remember any of that. Oh, and the coupon expires July 5th, 2008 so hurry up!

With summer finally arriving and school being out, now is when a lot of kids get their tonsils taken out. I never actually had mine removed, but I remember making fun of my little brothers when they had theirs removed years ago during the summer. In hindsight, I don’t know what I was making fun of, but at the time I was just looking for an excuse to torment a sibling in distress.

If you know of somebody about to have their tonsils removed, why not print out this pdf form for a free Dreyers Tonsillectomy care pack? It contains goodies to help speed them on their way to a tasty and timely recovery, including a gift certificate for one free box (6 or 12 bars) of DREYER’S Fruit Bars with real fruit and Vitamin C, a crayon set, a coloring/activity book, a fruit bar key chain and a lime rubber bracelet.

It’s summer time, which means your kids are mere days away from being home for 10 weeks straight and driving your crazy. What’s a parent to do? Make them get a hobby, like recycling, by using this free child’s guide to recycling coloring book. The website’s a bit disorienting, but you can sign up for one via the folder in the top right corner and then they’ll e-mail you a link to download and print out the coloring “book.”

You can then test it to see if your kid learns anything by one simple method. Let them color it and then see if they want to recycle it when they’re done! It’s fun for them, gives you a little free time, and is good for the environment.

EDIT: I’ve got a sinking feeling this one’s dead!

I felt bad not posting anything yesterday, as Monday is when I usually try to get the most fresh freebies up here. The problem was there wasn’t anything worth posting! So thank the Freebie Gods for this free 12-color oil pastel set, which looks freaking awesome! I just signed my little sister up for these and will probably demand that she use it to paint me a few pictures I can hang on my wall. It’ll be like a double freebie for me then!

Oh, you’ll need the promo code as well. It’s SA2008.

I was never really into Magic The Gathering as a kid. A few of my friends played it in school, but I had far too short of an attention span to try and learn all those different rules and combona….oh look, there’s a butterfly! So pretty! Sorry, where was I? Oh yeah, freebies. My brothers and I collected Pokemon cards while growing up, but we never actually learned how to use them. We simply collected in a futile effort to get every card known to man. Gee, what a wasted youth! But who knows, maybe you’re reading this and thinking it sounds like fun.

Well then, I have just the freebie for you. Turns out there’s a new card game out there and in an effort to spread it across the country, you can now get two free demo decks of the Universal Fighting System card game. Just imagine if you and all your friends signed up for this and then started playing it in class - you’d be the envy of every nerd in sight! Then you’d probably get beat up by the jocks, but I’m telling ya, you’ve never lived until you’ve been shoved into a locker upside down. Not that I’d know anything about that though…

I have no idea what this free Fisher Price Planet Heroes DVD is, but I’m certain my brother would watch it. I swear, if it’s in cartoon form, he’ll watch anything. You could make a cartoon of me sitting here in bed, sipping my coffee, and surfing the net for freebies and my brother would be the only person angry when Cartoon Network cancelled it after they realized nobody would watch it other than him. In fact, now that I think about it, I want my own cartoon dang it!

Call me demanding, but I think this free magic trick should just appear instantly on my desk without me having to input my shipping information or having to wait for it to be send through the regular mail. Now that would be a pretty cool magic trick! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to stare in the mirror for a few more hours. I’ve still yet to figure out how my grandpa always finds a giant quarter behind my ear!

EDIT: Looks like these freebies died literally minutes after I posted them! Sorry folks.

I put these two free NASCAR Matchbox cars in the children’s section, but the truth of the matter is I’ll be taking a bath as soon as these bad boys come so that I can drive them around on the side of the tub while pretending they’re under attack from my floating battleships. Then I’ll have my giant rubber ducky swoop in and pretend he’s a mutant sent from space to destroy Earth, at which point the cars and the battleships will have to put aside their differences and join forces for the good of humanity. Who will win?!

This free “It’s Cool To Care” Earth poster would be great for any classroom or kid’s room. When I was a kid, my walls were decked out in posters of my favorite sports players. Ok, so maybe there was a poster or two of My Little Pony. And in the corner, there was that one of the Cabbage Patch Kids. But I swear, those weren’t mine! I was, uh, you know, holding them for my sister. So what if she wasn’t even born at the time, I knew she’d be around eventually. Ok, fine, I admit, they were mine. But I just liked the colors, that’s all!

If I told you the code was “GP Storybook” would you know what I was talking about? Probably not. But what if I told you it was the code for a free Disney computer game worth $25? Well, then maybe you and your kids would thank me! Just go to the site, enter in the code, and then try one of two Disney games. After you’ve (or your kids!) have tried them both, download whichever you one like best and own it forever.

This free toy from Toys R Us is only good for one more day and you have to go to the store in order to get it, but if you think you might be out running errands tomorrow, then stop by and get a freebie! Personally, I can’t decide which toy I should get: the free Hot Wheels car or the free Littlest Pet Shop Animal. On the one hand, I could give the little animal to my little sister and let her have some fun playing with it. On the other hand, I could get the car and run around the house making “VROOM VROOOOM” noises. Ugh, making decisions as a responsible adult is too hard!

Our favorite freebie forum moderator Pru recently decided she wanted some free stickers. And when she wants some freebies, she goes all out and finds every single free sample on the Internet! So below, you can find a massive list of all the free stickers available on the net. Of course, I’m sure I missed a bunch. So if you know of any we happened to miss, then please leave a comment and tell us about it!

Hey It’s Free! - Haha, yes, I have HIF stickers. Just fill out the contact form (make sure you leave your address!) and I’ll send you some stickers.

Acid FM - A rock band out of North Carolina will give out stickers to all comers.

Alien Resistance Movement - Yes, you read that correctly. There is an alien resistance movement out there and you too can join it if you’re willing to send them a SASE.

Anti-Gun Sticker - I think these anti-gun stickers by the state of Florida are the only stickers that come in both English and Spanish. I’m not sure why, but I find that a little funny.

Back Country - Pretty cool looking sticker. They have three different colors to choose from and it’s easy to sign up for the stickers, just give them your address.

ComputerPranks.com - They require a SASE in order to get stickers, but honestly, is that really hard? I think not.

Today, I feel like I wish I was a kid all over again. I had a craving for some flannel, I turned on some Foo Fighters, and if I didn’t have a test today, I’d make myself chocolate chip pancakes and watch cartoons all day. That, or the cheesy $1 DVD that I found at Wal*Mart with four “classic” sci-fi films on it. Alas, I can’t even watch the episodes of Torchwood that I have saved up on my DVR because of that test.

But, I can still pretend to be a kid and call up the American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345 and request a free Spiderman vs. SmokeScreen comic book. Heck, we all can now that I’ve posted this number, and we can all spend a day sitting in, reading our comic books with Cheerios in our chocolate milk and cuddling up on the couch with comfy pillows.

Hmmmm… Cheerios. I think I’m going to have to get another bowl of cereal…

I know these free GoodNites Sleep Pants are for kids who have just finished their potty training, but I think there are other people out there who could benefit from them. For instance, how about people who are just lazy? Or crazy astronauts who need to drive across the country in a blind rage? Or 24-year old freebie hunters who don’t like taking bathroom breaks because he’s too busy trying to find cool freebies?!

Wait a minute, scratch that last one. I don’t want any of you thinking I’m so chained to my computer, that I’m wearing a diaper right now. Because I so am. No, not! I’m not. Crap, my secret is now out…
