Freebies and free stuff

EDIT: I’ve been contacted and told they are out of shirts.

I like hummus. I’m not afraid to admit it. While sometimes folks around me might not like it as much, that’s what they have to live with.

A hummus t-shirt, though, might be a different thing. I’m glad that this free Tribe hummus shirt isn’t actually MADE of hummus. That might be a problem…

So today, if you’re one of the first 100 customers today at Victoria’s Secret with this printed e-mail, apparently you get to walk away with a free pair of panties. Guess we should have posted this one yesterday so we could have started some lines earlier, eh folks? Sorry about that…

While there’s one down the mall from where I work? I don’t think I’ll be visiting… That would be a liiiiiiiiittle too hard to explain to the other members of management why I had to make a “detour” before work…

(And if you miss being one of the first 100 people, well, at least its a nice $10 off of $50 or more coupon.)

Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend! Federal holidays are always bittersweet because there’s no mail, and therefore no freebies. For those days, you just might have to get your freebie fix by grabbing a burger off your neighbor’s grill when he’s not looking. (I’ve found that dressing up like a stray dog is a great disguise.) Of course, a slightly more reasonable option is to just settle for this weekend’s sales and coupons.

EDIT: See, I told you this wouldn’t last too long!

Something tells me that this free Sennheiser hat won’t last for very long, so you should sign up pronto if you want one. It’s almost as if I have a sixth sense for judging the lifespan of freebies. Just toss it up to being yet another of my many superhero powers.

Looks like this one is as dead as the fox of my new hat…

I have way way too many hats. Why, even though I’ve seen a few new ones that I really want, I just got a new fox hat right from China that I can’t even wear because the weather just warmed up! Of course, I could have brought that one to Wisconsin when my wife and I were there last weekend, but I didn’t think of that.

Then again, I do live in the midwest, and that means that this free John Deere hat is fashionable with whatever I wear…

I’ve never heard of these Lucy Stores, and from what I can see there are none around me, but what I do know is that this free sock coupon, good for a free 2 pair pack now through March 22, is perfect. I mean, you can never have enough socks, right?

And this is coming from a guy who wore white Reebok athletic socks with logo and all with his tux on his wedding day… Darn tootin’!

Raise your hand if you think I should dress up in drag just to get this free Aeropostale tank top sponsored by Seventeen magazine? Turns out that starting today, any girl age 13 to 29 can bring in a copy of the April 2009 issue of Seventeen or a printout of the seventeen.com homepage to any Aeropostale store and get a free tank top.

It’d be pretty easy for me to borrow a dress and I’ve already got shaggy hair that might be passable for a chick. Plus, it’d give me an excuse to put on some makeup and get that manicure I’ve been dying for. Then again, the last time I did something like this, I got arrested in an undercover police sting. Talk about a funny story that I’ve suppressed and kept hidden from the light of day!

Haha, ohhh… where was I?

I think today is “Battle of the Sexes Friday.” Every freebie that Goob and I have found have been so staunchly on one side of the line or the other. And if you’re a guy, well, this coupon for a free pair of panties from Express from 2/27 to 3/1 (PDF file at the link) isn’t really going to do you much good if you’re single.

Well, it might. You could always use them as a cheese cloth, to impress male friends who are coming over by leaving them laying around conspicuously, or as slingshots.

Or not. Any other ideas for different uses? Its a Friday afternoon and my brain’s mostly shut off…

Free shirts like this free GFI mail essentials t-shirt are a dime a dozen: we see a dozen of them, and lose a few dimes’ worth of time getting none of them. Still, I’m going to cross my fingers because initial reports of this free shirt–which you reply on that page there, wait for an e-mail, and then that’s where you reply for the shirt (and I’d match your e-mail addresses up, in case they’re checking)–is that it was an offline offer, so maybe we’ll be lucky?

Besides, I could always use another shirt that I’d never wear out in public as an exercise shirt.

EDIT: Hey folks, there’s some confusion here. You don’t need to download the software to get the shirt. It brings you to that page, and then you wait a few minutes, and the e-mail you get has a link to head to. So don’t download anything, just hang tight after you submit it, and you’ll be good.

When I open my shirt drawer each morning before work, its a battle figuring out what mood I’m in and what the weather’s like outside. If its cold, I’ve always got a turtleneck that can go underneath it, but do I want to go button up, or do I want to go with a band t-shirt. And then, there’s always a Woot shirt or two, or even one from UCF, my alma mater.

And now with this free Epson Printers T-Shirt with code B75H, and my usual fake business name? I can add another choice to the bunch. Yup, it’ll go well with my Krispie Kreme shirt.

Set this one back in the garage, this sucker just doesn’t come, sadly…

With the shows “Pimp My Ride” and “MTV Cribs” combined with such outlandish shows like “How Do I Look” and “Clean House,” I guess the next level in pimpage just had to be a computer. So its interesting to see this free t-shirt from Extreme PC Garage (just click on the link in the banner), and it makes me wonder if I could sign up and have them put spinner rims on my desktop.

Its a Gateway, yo. Ya dig?

This one’s now deader than dead: Its extinct!

No bones about it, any free shirt is good, but when you’ve got a free Fossilomics T-shirt with a dinosaur on the front and what appears to be an era/epoch style breakdown of paleological periods? I’m sold, even if I do have to use my company name and tell them I’m still a student…

They had me at t-rex.

Do you know what this new free TriPro hat and previous free Outdoor Channel hat offers say to me? If you listen closely, you’ll hear the faint whispering of “springtime” floating through the air. Of course, that’s probably just the result of me hiding in your heating ducts and whispering it over and over, but let’s ignore the fact that I’m hidden in your walls and focus on the ever approaching time where temperatures rise and sunshine blankets us all.

Except for me, because I think I’m stuck in here. Send help or at least a turkey sandwich!

I like hats. Heck, yesterday I blew $28 on a hat including shipping because I wanted a new hat from my favorite band. And my black wool Kangol 504’s that I wear? Well, those aren’t cheap suckers at all, rounding in at $40 or so a pop. I even have a UCF hat that I wear from my alma mater, but the Kangol takes precidence over that one 5 times out of 7 (there’s always the weekend and game day).

But the best price for a hat is free, and that’s why I can’t complain with this free Outdoor Channel hat. Well, I wish I could see what the hat looked like so I know how good it is and if it’ll go with my wardrobe, but still…

EDIT: Looks like they’ve deleted this freebie.

Question: What is the worse thing to realize you left behind at home while stopped at a random gas station 5 hours into an 8-hour roadtrip? Possible Answers: 1) Your luggage 2) Your luggage 3) Your freaking luggage. Yep… I was so busy packing for all my siblings and dreaming of turkey dinner, I forgot to put my bag of clothes and toiletries in the car this past Tuesday. My siblings could have benefited from having this free orange safety hat when I made this little discovery, because I turned into a tornado of fists, kicks, and expletives.

Don’t worry, I calmed down soon afterward once I realized that I’d soon be with friends and family for Thanksgiving and that’s all that really matters. But man oh man, it sure would be nice to be able to change out of these jeans sometime soon!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I’ll be posting sporadically over the weekend, but will be home by Monday and back to our regular schedule of posting freebies.
