Hey, It’s Free!

I’m still finding trash in my yard from the 4th of July weekend. I’m not joking. I’m not sure if you can have too much of a good time, but I’m seriously thinking about it now! I’m fairly confident that I’ll still be picking up garbage by the time these free Glad Force Flex trash bags arrive, so at least I’ll have somewhere to put it all.

Not only can you get some free Pledge Multi Surface Spray & Wipes, but I’m pretty sure they’ll send you a few coupons as well. This is great for me, because I haven’t cleaned my desk since Clinton was in office. I wouldn’t be surprised if a new breed of intelligent life has grown out of all the dust on my desk. Too bad they’re about to get wiped away in 6 to 8 weeks! Let’s just hope they don’t invent any laser weapons by then and attack me.

EDIT: This is now dead because apparently the makers of it no longer want our odors to be gone.

Quick, name something that smells worse than cat urine. BEEEEP, time’s up and you failed because that was a trick question. You can’t possibly name a worse smelling aroma and yet it seems that far too many households out there are plagued by it. Enter this free Odor-b-gone sample. Heck, I’m not even going to sign up for it, but instead discreetly have a few samples sent to select neighbors of mine. Maybe then they’ll get the hint!

This is the first time I’ve found some free Purex detergent being given away on a site other than Wal Mart. Which in my book is awesome, because that means this shouldn’t die 10 seconds after I post it.

I don’t really have anything witty to say about laundry anymore, but this does kind of relate to drying machines and this weekend, my brother didn’t know how to empty a lint tray. Or better yet, he didn’t know it even existed. He’s also about to be in the 11th grade and have his drivers license. But don’t ask him to dry anything.

Hooray for never ceasing to be amazed!

This free Fizzion concentrated cleaner enjoys resizing your browser for some reason, but other than that it looks like a solid freebie. If I’m not mistaken, this is a new cleaning product for carpet stains and the like. Which, going hand in hand with the last freebie I posted below, is something my family needs. If there’s any way for them to send my mom a 50 gallon drum of this stuff, I promise you she’d use it all by the end of the month.

I always loved those paper towel commercials where they’d do a “test” to see how strong such and such towels were. First it was how much water they could absorb, then how tough they were, and then we somehow got to the bowling ball commercials.

I haven’t the slightest clue if these free Viva paper towels have any similar commercials, but I’m still going to try it nonetheless. When these babies come in the mail, I’m going to stack up all the individual sheets in my back yard, jump off my deck, and hope that they act as a trampoline / springboard. Then I’m probably going to call 911 and request an ambulance.

When I first saw this free Tide with Dawn StainScrubbers, I got a little confused. Isn’t Dawn simply dishwashing detergent? What makes it so special that it’s a good stain remover? In fact, if Tide thinks it’s good enough to put in their detergent, why do I even need to bother with a washing machine in the first place? That’s it, I’m taking my laundry into the kitchen and throwing it in the dishwasher! I’ll let you know how it goes

EDIT: Unfortunately, this is dead.

This offer for a coupon worth a free 32 oz. bottle of Clorox also enters you into a contest where you could win tickets to Hersheypark in Hershey, PA. So it could possibly be the best freebie ever! I actually went to Hersheypark two summers ago for the first time and let’s just say that Hundreds of Reese Cups + Roller Coasters Coasters = a very sick Goob. And yet I’d do it all over again because this time I’d at least have some Clorox in my back pocket if I needed to clean up anything.

EDIT: Sorry folks, but you’re too late!

The site looks a little fishy, but after looking around on the net for a while, I’m giving it the HIF Approved stamp and saying you should sign up for some free Dawn Dish detergent. To make this freebie even better, after you sign up, it takes you to a page where you can get a coupon for $1.50 off any future Dawn purchase. Now if only I ever washed my dishes…Okay, that joke came at the expense of me sounding like a gross pig. Which I’m not. I totally wash my dishes every day. Now my joke isn’t even funny anymore! Dang it!

Wal Mart is giving away some free Purex laundry detergent, so make sure you sign up for some before this goes dead in approximately 19 seconds. Ok, maybe it’ll last a little bit longer, but geez if it doesn’t seem like these Wal Mart offers have been dying especially fast lately!

The freebie itself claims to be environmental-friendly, which seems a bit oxymoronic to me when you consider all the power it takes to run the washing machines that will be using this stuff. That’s like me saying I’ve created a car built out of 100% natural products and then taking it down to the local gas station and filling up. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to start doing my laundry by hand or anything. If there’s one thing I enjoy about technology, it’s how it allows me to spend my time and energy doing things I love to do, like hunting for freebies!

I’m not even going to bother commenting on the whole “2x” in the product name of this free Ultra Tide laundry detergent. You all know by now that I think stuff like that is entirely stupid and unnecessary. But had I found this freebie a month ago, I probably wouldn’t have cared. For when I got home from my vacation, I smelled worse than a horse stable. In my effort to pack lightly, I brought enough clothes for about 5 days. For a 15 day trip. With lot’s of walking, sweating, and drinking involved. It’s amazing that by the end of the trip, I was able to be seated in a restaurant. I’m pretty sure US Customs tried quarantining me on suspicion that I was highly contagious with the ebola virus.

Growing up, I remember how my father would always leave enough room in the gas tank to put in a little bit of the STP fuel treatment. The only thing I knew about STP at that time was that they sponsored race cars because I had a special collectors set of Richard Petty cards I got with some UPCs.

And when I think about that and see this free Marvel Mystery Oil sample, I wonder if they ever thought of contacting Stan Lee to have some sort of tie in. You know, save up enough UPCs or bottle caps and get a free Spiderman action figure. So then the dad could take care of the car with the additive and the kid could get an action figure.

Sadly, it’s two different Marvels. And my dreams are once again squashed.

Men, there’s hope for us yet. Every day we are faced with a tough decision. Either dump a bunch of our clothes in the washing machine, pour some of this free Purex Ultra Concentrate detergent in with them, punch blindly at a few buttons, then pray our clothes don’t come out pink and/or small. On the other hand, we could just do as this label suggests and rest easily. Okay, it’s not nice to say it’s women’s job to do laundry, but God help us if we try to be nice and put some of their clothes in the wash with ours. I tried to wash my mom’s shirts back in 1998 and I’m still not allowed within 50 feet of the laundry room.

EDIT: Dead now

Up until last year, had you asked me if I had allergies, I would have smiled brightly and answered you by skipping around outside in a field of flowers for hours on end. And then the Allergy Gods figured I had lived a happy enough existence and decided to strike me down with allergies that I think were made up especially just for me. I mean, seriously, I fully expect to walk outside one day and find that I’m now allergic to rocks. But when it comes to indoors, well thankfully there are products like these free Pledge Clean & Dust wipes to help keep the little allergy devils at bay. Wait…oh great…yep, I’m pretty sure I’m now allergic to my computer monitor!

Wal Mart is giving away yet another good freebie, but this time they’ve decided to do it threefold. You can sign up for some free Tide, Bounce, & Downy and then, like I plan on doing, use them all at once to see if you can make your clothes super clean. I figure if one sample will get my clothes clean, then maybe if I use all three at the same time my clothes will develop like a dirt shield and suddenly become immune to getting dirty. Go ahead, laugh at me all you want, but you’ll be singing a different tune when I never have to do laundry again!

There’s some game out there that you have to play and beat, in which case your winning prize is a free Tide To Go stain remover stick. Of course, we here at HIF have a direct link to the prize redemption page, which makes us awesome. I’ll probably end up carrying this around in my pocket 24/7, seeing as how I can’t seem to go 5 seconds without spilling something on me. Whoops, like just now, I spilled something while typing this post. Some call it being clumsy, I call it a well honed skill.

You know what? I have no idea what these free Cascade ActionPacs are supposed to do. Maybe they fight grease and grime. Maybe they leave my dishes streak free. Or maybe, just maybe, they’ll actually clean my dishes so well that I won’t have to scrub my plates off in the sink before I put them in the dish washer! Wouldn’t that be a novel idea?! A dish washer that doesn’t require you to wash your dishes beforehand!

This free Ultra Downy isn’t like that other regular Downy detergent. No, this stuff is Ultra, which is way better than that other crap. How so, you ask? Well heck if I know, but I can assure you that no company would every casually toss around a word such as Ultra in their product name.

A few hundred years ago we didn’t even know about germs. Nowadays we are downright terrified of the little guys. We do all that we can in the seemingly endless fight of fending off the pesky microscopic invaders. And yet to no avail, for we still keep getting sick. Well now it’s time to kick it up a notch and put some heavy duty gear into our arsenal. I’m talking about free Clorox Disinfecting Wipes. They kill 99.9% of germs. That only leaves .1% of germs left to fight another day! They don’t even stand a chance against us now.

Growing up, I always set the table and cleaned the kitchen before and after dinner, which wasn’t too bad of a gig for all the food my dad cooked over the years. But one day, just after my folks had remodeled the kitchen, I dropped some pans and scuffed the bejesus out of our new porcelain sink. I thought my mom was going to strangle me, but luckily my dad caught wind of what I’d done first and whipped out some of this free Barkeeper’s Friend and saved both our hides!.
