Freebies and free stuff

This free $30 coupon book seems to turn up at a new address every few months and today is no different. I’ve received it a few times and basically it’s full of coupons for cleaning products from Proctor & Gamble, like Dawn, Cascade, Febreze. Unfortunately I don’t do much cleaning other than tying Swiffer pads to my dogs. But wouldn’t ya know, this sucker comes with coupons for them too!

EDIT: We Hiffed it!

I highly doubt this free Seventh Generation Free & Clear All Purpose Cleaner offer will survive for long as other freebie sites start to pick it up.

I almost made the “I won’t waste time thinking of a joke” joke, but then I realized I already made that joke within the past month. In unrelated news, I talk out loud as I type and thus have said the word “joke” four times in the past ten seconds. Joke. It’s a funny sounding word. Joke. It sounds like choke. Kinda like what I’m doing now.

EDIT: These Sam’s Club offers get Hiffed awfully fast, don’t they?

These free Glad ForceFlex trash bags from Sam’s Club are fantastic at not breaking while you stuff them full of all the dirty dishes your roommate left in the sink. The bags even mask the smell long enough for you to carry them into his room and scatter said dishes all over the floor!

Or I guess you could just put trash in them. Whatever floats your boat.

As usual, you don’t have to be a Sam’s Club member in order to get their freebies.

EDIT: This is no longer available.

If you missed out last Tuesday, the free Nature’s Source Cleaner offer is back. They’ve only got 10,000 samples again, so act quickly. In fact, I’m not even going to waste time trying to think of a joke so that as many of you can sign up for this as possible. You’re welcome.

Wait, are you thanking me for posting this quickly or for not making a joke?

EDIT: Looks like their supplies for this week are exhausted. New supplies are available starting every Tuesday.

This free Nature’s Source All-Purpose Cleaner was just released today and is available to the first 10,000 people who sign up for it, which means we all have a pretty decent shot of getting it. Although I hate how they don’t tell you if you’re one of the first 10,000 or not. It’s really not that hard to install a counter to show how many people have signed up, but I digress.

Now that I think about it, I’m kind of hoping I don’t get this. I’ve been delaying Spring Cleaning for a few weeks now and I’ve only got two more months to put it off until Summer officially starts. I’m like the Little Engine That Could of procrastinating.

EDIT: Supplies are exhausted!

Here’s to hoping this free Scrubbing Bubbles shower caddy actually comes with some free soap as well, because otherwise it’s not going to help me much. Well, on second though, maybe you can simply jam a bar of soap in there and call it a day. Judges?

*Judge’s Ruling: eeeerrrrrnt*

Ugh. The judges never okay my ides. I don’t even know why I pay them to follow me around anymore.

Freebie-Karma has a way today of telling me what I need to do…

First, it was the IKEA breakfast freebie, telling me that I need to go grab some food. Then the Magic: The Gathering freebie that seemed to be telling me to have some fun, and now this free Gain laundry detergent, which is reminding me of exactly what I have to do today: head to Sam’s Club and do the laundry later too.

This is creepy. I’d better get on my daily tasks before I find some freebie that says “Adam, get busy!”

EDIT: Blarg, we Hiffed this one pretty quickly.

I’ll be the first to admit that the freebie pickings this week have been pretty slim. Sometimes we go through droughts for a few days, so fingers crossed that this free laundry powder is the first of many more freebies to come. Their site may be a little confusing, but all you have to do is add the product to your shopping cart and then “checkout.” They don’t ask for any billing information, but you do have to hit “next” on three or four pages before the order gets confirmed.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go pretend I know what I’m doing and finish filling out my bracket for the March Madness Contest!

EDIT: This is no longer available.

To say that I’m TV addicted is an understatement. Sure, I got a new guitar today, but I barely even touched it. I spent all evening watching TV with my wife. And while watching? I saw the commercial for the Sham-WOW! dozens of times it seems.

That being said, because I’m a frugal sucker who loves freebies, I think I’ll just pass on that for the time being and stick with something like this free Viva paper towel sample. Sure, it may only be a sheet or two, but it’ll save me some of that $20 that that infomercial says I spend on towels.

And I believe him, because he’s on TV, and I believe in TV…

I wish this free Winter Gift Pack came with counter showing how many packs were available, but oh well. It’s being given away to the first 10,000 users and chances are it’ll be gone by tonight as I’m seeing more and more freebie sites post it today. So hurry up!

The fine print says that the packs will mail on April 15 and contain the following:

* One Glade® PlugIns® Scented Oil warmer
* One Glade® PlugIns® Scented Oil refill in Hawaiian Breeze®
* $1.00 coupon off two single Glade® PlugIns® Scented Oil refills or one twin refill

You know what’s better than a Glade Hawaiian Breeze? A real Hawaiian breeze. It could be on a beach or a mountain top or even a banana plantation. Just anyplace with temperatures above 70 and no freaking snow!

I swear, I don’t know how the Eskimos do it.

Even though I’m married and out of college, I still swear by the sniff test: if I can smell it, Febreze the sucker then wear it; if it still smells after the Febreze, add some cologne; and if all of that fails? Rub a dryer sheet on it and Febreze it again.

That’s what makes this free Febreze Sport sample so wonderful. If I were to tell you how much Febreze I use a year? Yeah, you’d run out and buy stock in the company today…

How is it that every time I put my glasses on at night I find that they’re smudged with finger prints? This is of course a rhetorical question as I’m already at peace with the fact that I’ll never know the answer. I once launched an investigation to see which of my roommates were secretly running into the bathroom and smearing their hands all over my glasses, but all I discovered was 48 hours of boring video footage and the fact that I have too much time on my hands. Oh well, I’ll just take these free Bausch lens cleaning tissues and file this mystery in my box of cold cases.

EDIT: No longer available.

I’m glad that when the wife and I went to the store last week that I remembered that we needed trash bags. Otherwise? Well, lets just say I’d have to clean up after thanksgiving dinner tomorrow whenever this free Glad ForceFlex trash bag came in the mail.

What? I could just go out and buy some more while I’m waiting? But that would be too easy!

Hey, it’s a free Tide Total Care laundry detergent freebie that’s in English! Some of you may remember that the freebie they released last month was in Spanish and I don’t know about you, but it made me want to try and learn Spanish again. I turned the SAP function on all of my TVs and then hid the remotes. It took about two days for that to get old and another three days for me to figure out how to get all the TVs fixed.

It’s almost 2009 for goodness sake! How much longer am I going to have to wait for scientists to invent a little chip that I can insert into my brain and make me smarter?!

EDIT: Looks like the smart towel isn’t so smart anymore! Er, uh..something like that to say this freebie has been Hiffed.

Law #924 that Goob will sign once he becomes Supreme Ruler of the Galaxy: you’re not allowed to name something “smart” unless it’s a sentient being that can pull off a passable game of chess. You got that, free smart towel? Just because you have lines drawn on you does not mean you’re smart. I draw things on my friends all the time when they pass out and I assure you they’re not too smart. How do I know? They still continue to pass out, even when I’m holding two sharpies in my hand and giggling uncontrollably with excitement!
