  • Fill out the address form.

There was also a Nexcare Duo freebie offered yesterday, but I missed it. Whoops. I blame all those brain cells I lost for the joke down below.

The previous version of this post contained a joke about Kinder chocolate egg wrappers because that's what Checkout51 was giving away. And since it's close to midnight, I'm just leaving it in! 😀

I ate so many of these chocolates when I was little, I'm fairly certain I could build a bridge to Mars with all the leftover wrappers. Sure, there's no oxygen in space, but I can hold my breath for a really long time. Watch this!

*takes deep breath*

. . .

*gulps for air*

Did you see that?! I held it for at least 10 seconds! Pretty impressive, huh?

Free Dawn Manual Pot & Pan Dish Cleaner

Free Dawn Manual Pot & Pan Dish Cleaner

· Disclosure

If you represent “a commercial entity,” then you can request from P&G some free Dawn Manual Pot & Pan dish cleaner. They'll send you a rather large 38oz sample within 2-4 weeks.

This is clearly aimed at businesses. So if you request this and don't represent a business, it's on you to solve that moral quandary! Is it stealing? Are they a faceless conglomerate ruining the planet for profit at our expense? Are you “sticking it to the man” by ordering this? What's his name? Bob or Frank? Are we exempt from the moral implications since P&G didn't care enough to use anything beyond the hilariously fool-prone honor system? Is it just soap and we're overthinking it?

Hi, I'm Professor Goob, and we'll cover these topics and more during our semester in Freebie Philosophy 101.


Free Car Trash Bag

Free Car Trash Bag

· Disclosure

Progressive is giving away free reusable car trash bags. These are little trash bags to fit inside your car.

Awww, I was hoping for a giant car-sized bag so I could dispose of my old vehicle. I got so excited at the thought of watching my garbagemen attempt to throw a 3,000 lb. garbage bag into their truck!

I kept getting an “error” message, but the form finally went through when I changed my email to a generic gmail address. You should get a “Thanks for requesting a bag!” confirmation message after submitting the form.

The fine print says “you are agreeing to receive marketing offers from us,” so make sure to use a freebie email and Google Voice number so you don't get spammed.


Free Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel

Free Nikwax Waterproofing Wax for Leather

· Disclosure
This freebie was originally posted on October 13, 2006 and is available every two months! That means you can get this freebie up to six times each year!

I always forget about this free Nikwax Waterproofing Wax for Leather sample sachet that we can request every two months. All you have to do is take a short, five questions quiz. For help, click the “clue” button next to each question and it'll take you to the page where the answer is found. You also get to check each answer, so you can't really fail.

I won't lie – I hate quizzes. They were easily the worst part of school. The threat of a pop quiz always put a timer on my harrowing escapes from inside the gym lockers. I think it's why I get panic attacks simply from a faint whiff of Gold Bond.

This is one of the oldest freebies in continued existence. I can remember requesting Nikwax samples back before HIF was even a glint in my eyes. It was a simpler time back then, when people knew their local butcher and kids player freely throughout the neighborhood. And … wait. I really need to stop falling asleep with the TV tuned to old episodes of Leave It To Beaver.

2021 Update: This freebie is showing as still available! Has anyone received it since I first posted about it in May 2020? I don't think I did, but then again my memory is as good as a … you know … that little thing, swims in a bowl, whatever it's called.


Free Finish Quantum Lemon Sparkle Detergent

Free Finish Dishwashing Detergent

· Disclosure

Dishwashing detergent was a popular freebie back in the day, especially from Finish. I have to say the first joke below might be one of my personal favorites from the archives 🙂

They don't offer many freebies now, but they do have some great free coupons on their site.

IT'S TIME! Hiffers, grab your weapons (keyboards, dustbusters, and used baby diapers are all acceptable), stuff a few pillows in your shirt for armor, and mobilize. Today, we invade Finland! I'm sending orders to your regional commanders now and we set sail by midnight!

Say what now? The image above is referring to this free Finish Quantum dishwashing detergent offer and not the overthrow of a Scandinavian country? Oh… False alarm, folks. Forget all about how I had preplanned invasion guides for a friendly country with a democratically elected government.

Here's some free Finish Quantum dishwashing detergent from StartSampling. I don't live in a place with a dishwasher anymore, so I sent the sample to my childhood home. I hope the people living there now don't freak out easily because I put my name as Ghost McHaunterson.

You can request a free Finish dishwashing detergent sample even if you already have in the past since Start Sampling is hosting the offer. It's made even easier given that we know the right answers to their questions. We're basically living Groundhog Day at this point, but without all the fun stuff like electrocuting ourselves in bathtubs or kidnapping small rodents.


Free Tide Laundry Pods

· Disclosure

When I lived in Australia, I discovered a candy called Pods that I'd moderately describe as the single greatest object I'd every put in my mouth. Every bite was like a waking dream. But promise me you won't try to eat these free Tide pods. Eating them might quickly become a nightmare.

There are half a million samples available (THAT'S HOW YOU DO A FREEBIE, TIDE!), so don't worry if the site is currently bogged down. Also note that it's a Facebook link, however you don't actually have to like them. But since so many of you have a questionable loathing for Facebook, there's a regular form on Tide's website.

[thanks to Katrina and Rory for posting this on our Facebook wall!]


Free Trash Bag & Laundry Detergent

· Disclosure

Once a staple in the freebie world due to their extremely low cost to ship, free trash bags haven't shown up much beyond 2016. One small tidbit is Sam's Club used to be the trash bag freebie king! No idea why, especially since Walmart and Target were the main freebie sources back then. And yet it was almost always Sam's Club partnering with Glad and other trash bag manufacturers to offer free samples.

While we wait for more to return, here are some of the classic trash bag jokes!

Here are some free Glad ForceFlex OdorShield with Febreeze trash bags for people needing somewhere to put their garbage. Good luck holding it for the next 5-7 weeks.

Interested in a free Glad Odorshield with Febreze trash bag offer. I'm just thankful it's not one of their usual ForceFlex bag offers. The previous time one of those bad boys arrived, it teased me mercilessly until I finally flexed. My friends still laugh at how minuscule my biceps are.

These free Glad ForceFlex trash bags 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.

The selling point of this free ECOgrade photodegradable trash bag, other than being free, is supposed to be that it's biodegradable. I foresee two major problems here. First, what happens to the garbage after the bag degrades? Does it start blowing out of landfills? Call me crazy, but we need our trash to morph into flowers over time as well.

Also what if I want to throw away a pile dirt right now? Will it speed up the degrading process and cause the dirt to get all over my kitchen? No, stop asking why I have mounds of dirt in my house. You're focusing on the wrong aspect of this scenario.


Free Shout Color Catcher

Free Shout Color Catcher

· Disclosure

As you can see, these free Shout Color Catchers had a burst of popular sampling events. They mainly ran from 2010-2012, but I'll continue being on the lookout for the next freebie opportunity.

I once tried to emulate these free Shout Color Catchers by eating a box of crayons. They didn't quite color what I was hoping for.

The old free Shout color catcher offer is back. Or maybe it never went away to begin with. I'm not the most attentive person in the world as my current outfit attests. I have no idea how this skirt got into my wardrobe or how I came to wear it.

This free Shout color catcher looks like a new form. Plus it accepted my info without saying I'd already requested a sample, so that's good enough for me to publish this. I have a pretty low bar when it comes to quality control. I'm the Creed Bratton of freebies.


Free Gain Detergent

· Disclosure

It's been quite some time since we've found a Gain detergent freebie in the while. While we wait for they're glorious return, here are some of the earlier comments we made on their prior samples.

Brace yourself, people. I've got big, nay, huge news. Put a helmet on, sit in a padded chair, and take a few shots of whiskey before you go any further. Okay, are you ready? Alright, this free Gain laundry detergent comes with – wait for it – baking soda! BAKING SODA!

What does that mean? I don't know. Can you put this detergent in your refrigerator to keep it smelling fresh? Sure, go for it. Heck, you might even wonder what's to stop you from buying the regular version of Gain and tossing in a little baking soda on your own. The answer? I'm gonna guess evil pixies.

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 “Goob, get busy!”
