In-Store Freebie Events This Weekend

Goob — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:50:00 +0000

There are two good in-store freebie events this weekend, both of which look like fun but aren’t available to me as an adult. Stupid mother nature and her cruel “aging” process.

Lowe’s Build & Grow is holding their next clinic on Saturday, Nov. 21 from 10-11am where they’ll let kids build a free snowman. As usual, register in advance if you think you’ll attend, as space & supplies are limited.

Next, Borders is hosting a free Polar Express Pajama Party on Saturday from 11am-1pm! If your local store is participating and near a Lowe’s, you could go straight from one freebie event to the next. They’ll have a storytime with The Polar Express, holiday carols, and raffle / giveaways.

27 Free Huggies Enjoy the Ride Points

Goob — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:26:06 +0000

The November Huggies newsletter had 27 free points for the Huggies Enjoy the Ride program. We have a section on the forums where we post the codes as we find them, but in case you don’t frequently check it, the codes are as follows:

1 Point Codes
BBQHL-LQQPC-MLPGB
BCCBD-JBCTB-HFPGB
BCCHZ-WFLLX-GGPGB
BCDXM-ZPMFW-SQPGB
BCPBB-XQHPH-RJPGB

2 Points Code
BCXSF-DDGFC-GXPGB

5 Points Codes
BCWPP-SDLLF-SFPGB
PBWSM-QGKCL-BKPGB
TPJNG-DZCQB-HGPGB
WHTZH-NBDQF-XKPGB

The codes can be used to enter into drawing for small prizes (e.g. a $10 Subway gift card) or larger prizes (e.g. $500 in cash). Even if you don’t win anything, you get to watch a cartoon baby fart in a bathtub. So…that’s a nice consolation prize! Right?

Free Hasbro Card Games at Kroger / Target

Goob — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:39:01 +0000

EDIT: Barnacles. As Jennifer pointed out in the comment, some folks are saying their local Kroger isn’t carrying this deal. Instead, the two card games ring up for $2.50 total. Not a bad deal, but not quite free.

Story time! It should come as no surprise that I was a goofball in college and took every opportunity to procrastinate. One year my roommate was studying to be a lawyer and our favorite game was imaging the worst name for his future law firm. The best I came up with involved a local auditorium (The Koger Center), one of my favorite Seinfeld characters (Mr. Kruger), and our nearby grocery store (Kroger). The end result was Koger, Kruger, and Kroger! I can’t even say it once without laughing, but then again, I’m an idiot.

Speaking of Kroger, they currently have a deal where you can get two free Hasbro card games! You’ll need a copy of yesterday’s (Nov. 15) USA Weekend, where you’ll find a BOGO Hasbro coupon on page 3. Then head to Kroger, where they also have BOGO Hasbro sale (no coupon needed). If you then buy two Hasbro games for $6.99 and use the coupon from USA Weekend, you’ll get both free during checkout. This could make for an excellent donation to Toys For Tots or for a Christmas gift!

The Target Coupon Generator also has a BOGO coupon available for the Hasbro Monopoly Deal or Scrabble Slam card games, so you could use the USA Weekend coupon there as well!

Free Lowe’s Build & Grow Clinic on 11/14

Goob — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 18:05:44 +0000

These free Lowe’s Build & Grow Clinics always sneak up on me and I forget to post them. Well take this, faulty memory! I remembered that the next clinic is Saturday, November 14 from 10-11am where they’ll be making a toy car garage. As always, space is limited, so register online if your kids want to attend tomorrow.

Deal: $0.56 Hasbro Games at Toys R US

Goob — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:49:10 +0000

If you’re anything like me, most of your board games are missing a few dice or pieces thanks to a passionate family member who launched them across the room after losing a game of Candy Land. Luckily, Toys R Us has a great deal going on through 11/14 where you can get seven different Hasbro games for $0.56 each. To start, each of the following games are currently on sale for $3.99:

Ants in Pants
Candy Land
Chutes and Ladders
Cootie
Don’t Break The Ice
Hi-Ho Cherry-O
Memory

There is a free Toys R Us $10 gift card available when you purchase $25 in Hasbro games, plus there is a $2 Hasbro rebate offer available for all of the games above. So in order to get the cheapest price possible, you could:

Buy all seven $3.99 Hasbro games for $27.93
Receive $10 TRU gift card
Receive $14 Hasbro mail-in rebate
Final price for all seven games is $3.93 or $0.56 per game!

Make sure you only buy the standard version of the games – specialty versions, like Dora the Explorer and Winnie the Pooh, cost more. There are also some Hasbro games on sale for $7.99 and $9.99, but they’ll obviously end up costing a little more than $0.56 each.

Five Free Disney Reward Points

Goob — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:21:37 +0000

If you collect Disney Reward points, give E389VNV23C a whirl and earn five free points. It went out in their newsletter today and should work once for everyone during the month of November.

Free Kirkland Supreme Diapers

Goob — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:25:57 +0000

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.

IS: Free Sears Halloween Portrait Collage

Goob — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:49:27 +0000

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.

Free Pampers Extra Protection Diapers

Goob — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 22:03:41 +0000

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.

IS: Free Lowe’s Build & Grow Clinic

Goob — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:20:45 +0000

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.

Free DVD Movie Coupons

Goob — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 17:13:06 +0000

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!

Goob — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 17:43:21 +0000

TINA – worth 20 points
GOBLOON – worth 30 points

Coupon: Free Happy Baby Organic Food

Goob — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:09:37 +0000

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.

Free PETA Stickers for Kids

Goob — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 16:51:22 +0000

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.

Free Little Duck Organics Baby Food

Goob — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:18:54 +0000

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?!

Free Box Tops For Education Collection Bin

Goob — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 17:46:59 +0000

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.

IS: Lowe’s Build & Grow Clinic

Goob — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:12:15 +0000

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!

Free Goodnites Underpants

Goob — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 17:13:26 +0000

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!

when initially typing this, I misspelled genius.

Free Subway Teacher’s Kit

Goob — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 20:07:53 +0000

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!

Free Admission to Disney for Volunteering

Goob — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 17:09:35 +0000

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!
