Freebies and free stuff

Folks, I would like to welcome our new galactic freebie overlords, Sam’s Club. They’ve got yet another freebie available, free Downy Ultra detergent, and the best part is that it doesn’t require a member ID. Of course, the downside is that we all have new overlords. Hopefully they’re kinder than my previous ones. You’d like that imaginary talking flower pots would be cute and cuddly, but man, did they force me to do some mean, heavy stuff.

EDIT #3: Nope, they pulled it for good. Sorry folks!

Sams Club has yet another freebie available today, but these free Scott rags don’t require a member code like yesterday’s trash bags. Why the change? Heck if I know. I could make a wild guess that it has something to do with Sam’s Club’s head of marketing and how she was in a vile mood yesterday morning because somebody drank the last of the oj and why is there peanut butter all over the kitchen, can you kids not make a freaking sandwich without getting it everywhere and who flushed all my highlighters down the toilet and don’t tell me that’s a pile of dog fur in the bathtub WHAT HAVE I SAID ABOUT USING THE RAZOR?! *deep breath*

So she took out her rage by making us type an extra nine digits. True story!¹

I posted these free Purex Complete 3-in-1 laundry sheets in early January, but evidently their parent company took out a billboard in Times Square because my inbox has blown up with Hiffers submitting this. I’m not even sure if I got my previous sample, but then again, I don’t have the best memory.

Actually, I think I would have remembered this, as it looks frighteningly similar to those Listerine strips. Even the case kind of resembles them. I’d like to think trying to eat one of these sheets would have made some sort of lasting memory.

How is it that I’m only now learning that these free Huggies Enjoy the Ride Rewards can be used to get gift certificates? I’ve been blowing my points on their random sweepstakes when I could have been saving them up for a $25 GAP or Kohl’s card. Well now I feel like a nimrod. Although, that’s not any different than how I normally feel. To the points!

All of the Huggies Enjoy the Ride Rewards codes below were valid for my account, which means I haven’t posted them on HIF yet.

Has anybody managed to win anything from here? I noticed that now the little video they show is kids sliding on ice and aiming for a bullseye. Constantly losing was a lot more fun when I got to watch a farting baby animation.

Here’s another free Tide plus Febreze detergent that is much easier to sign up for than the previous offer last week. It even allows you to sign up for some free diapers, coupons for pet food, and heartburn medication.

What do all of those products have in common? If you guessed “necessary for an awesome party,” then I’d seriously like to be your friend.

If you happen to get a message saying you’ve already requested some freebies during this quarter, than you’ll have to wait until March 1 to sign up. No worries though, as I’ll post a reminder.

I’ve never understood the concept of products like this free NuvoH2O CitraClear Dishwasher Softener. How can water be soft? Isn’t hard water called ice?

We first posted this coupon for free Downy travel size Wrinkle Releaser back in September, but it’s still available, can still be printed multiple times, and doesn’t expire until June. You now have no excuse to wear anything wrinkled for the four months.

Next up: see if this will get the bedhead out of my hair!

[thanks to Erin for the reminder]

Enter a contest that Tide’s holding and get a free Tide plus Febreze Freshness Sport sample. You have to “design” a new dress for Venus, but I merely clicked a few buttons and then hit submit. Once submitted…I don’t know. It says “click for your free sample,” but you can’t click it. Underneath, it says that every entry earns you a new sample, but…wait, didn’t we just enter? So we’re all squared away?

I know I’m not one to call the kettle black, but come on freebie companies. There have been more glitches on your sites over the past few days than most of 2009. I’ll let you chalk it up to the snow, but that’s generous as I’m overlooking how many of you are headquartered in California.

I don’t have a kid yet, but once Goob Jr. finally comes into the world, I’m going to have so many Huggies Enjoy the Ride Rewards that he’ll be wearing diapers until he’s 16. If that doesn’t win me Dad of the Year award, I don’t know what will!

The final code will only work if you also enter in any code from any Huggies diaper or wipes pack before the end of the month. Otherwise, it won’t give you anything. Here’s a $2/1 Huggies diapers coupon (IE) (FF) to help make the purchase cheaper.
