Hey, It’s Free!

EDIT: This is no longer available.

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…

With the end of summer fast approaching, I know some families out there are gonna go for one last vacation soon. And we all know what that means. ROAD TRIP! Where the joys of being cramped in a small, suffocating enclosure with your family meets the thrills of hours upon hours of pure boredom! Back when my family used to take road trips, I remember my mom going crazy trying to make sure we had enough things to entertain ourselves. She knew we were always dangerously hovering over the edge of going stir crazy and beating the crap out of each other, so she would always have something random, like these free children’s activity books for us to do. Nevermind that were probably twice the recommended age of these things. If she handed them to us and thrust a red crayon at us, by God were we expected to color the entire thing as many different shades of red as possible. And people say Road Trips aren’t fun!

If you don’t mind getting some stupid brochure about a drug you most likely don’t need, you can sign up for your choice of a free backpack, lunch bag, or combo ruler & calculator. Pharmaceutical companies tend to give out quality freebies though, so I signed up for the free lunch bag. I still have a Viagra pen that was given out by a drug rep at my high school year ago and it’s pretty darn nifty. And yes, you read that right. A drug rep. At my high school. Trying to sell Viagra. Go public educashion! They teacheded me good!

Awesome HIFFER Theresa pointed out to me in the post below that not only does AMC offer free movies during the summer, but Regal Cinemas offers a free Family Film Festival every Tuesday and Wednesday at 10AM. I couldn’t find a list of movies being played, so you might want to call ahead of time to see what’s showing before you drive out there only to find it’s something your kids won’t enjoy. But hey, if that ends up happening, just take them to see the scariest movie showing instead. They’ll be so freaked out, they’ll never again complain about seeing Over The Hedge for the 90th time!

Chances are if you have a little one, you’ve already got a few diapers on hand. But you can never have too many. Trust. Me. On. That. We won’t get into the specifics, but let’s just say the end of this little episode involved myself, my little brother Colton, a beach towel, and a bunch of paperclips. Oh, what I would have done for some of these free pampers diapers back then!

Dry erase boards are awesome for hanging up next to your desk and being used to jot down important little notes and reminders that you promptly forget all about after writing them. Of course, you’ll need a few free dry erase markers to write down that appointment next week that you’ll miss or the phone call to return that you never will!
