Hey, It’s Free!

It’s a well documented fact (in my head) that the freebie supply goes up and down. One month I’m search high and low for hours looking for quality freebies and the next I’ve got too many to post. I don’t mind this, because I have fun looking for freebies, but it does hinder my posting ability here on HIF.

So, I’m going to start including posts on how to get a lot of stuff for just a little bit of money. Case in point, how to get 6 full bags of candy and 4 movie tickets for a mere $14, which I found over on Centsible Sawyer yesterday. Our very own Froggie on the forums went to CVS the other day and paid around $20 for over $80 worth of stuff!

There are some great deals out there if you know where to look. Anybody care to share their best coupon saving stories?

Since that Baby To Bee freebie I posted a few days ago seems to be crap, here’s a free Luvs Welcome Kit that comes with a $5 off coupon, a coloring book, and a magnet. That seems like a pretty random group of items, especially for a diaper freebie, but then again I just signed my 10 year old sister up for it. She may not wear diapers any more, but dang it if she’s already bored with summer and needs something more to color!

EDIT: I’m getting e-mails saying Toys R Us isn’t accepting this coupon now. Has anybody managed to get this to work for them?

You know those weekends where so much happens that it feels like you crammed 10 days worth of stuff into two? Yeah, that’s what I just went through. It feels like it should be Friday already and yet it’s Monday? Doh. I think I’ll go to Toys R Us and use this coupon to get a free Thomas The Tank Engine toy. Then I’ll play with it all day while trying to figure out how much money I recently spent, how I ended up with a goat in my truck, and why the heck was I at the airport at 3am?

On second thought, these are probably mysteries that are better left unsolved. I’m not sure I want to actually remember any of that. Oh, and the coupon expires July 5th, 2008 so hurry up!

Start Sampling is giving away a free coupon booklet worth over $31 that I can’t help but feel like I’ve posted on here before. But I just scanned through the coupons section and didn’t see it, so maybe my memory is incorrect yet again. I fear that by the time I’m 70, I’ll honestly “remember” riding on dinosaurs as a kid and a time where humans had wings.

Oh, about the coupons though. The coupons are for products from Iams, Febreze, Dawn, Cascade, and more. Who knows what the actual coupons are for, but let’s all sign up find out together!

With summer finally arriving and school being out, now is when a lot of kids get their tonsils taken out. I never actually had mine removed, but I remember making fun of my little brothers when they had theirs removed years ago during the summer. In hindsight, I don’t know what I was making fun of, but at the time I was just looking for an excuse to torment a sibling in distress.

If you know of somebody about to have their tonsils removed, why not print out this pdf form for a free Dreyers Tonsillectomy care pack? It contains goodies to help speed them on their way to a tasty and timely recovery, including a gift certificate for one free box (6 or 12 bars) of DREYER’S Fruit Bars with real fruit and Vitamin C, a crayon set, a coloring/activity book, a fruit bar key chain and a lime rubber bracelet.

EDIT: Blarg, looks like the link is dead now. I’m searching for a new copy of the coupon. Hope to have it soon.

If you live near a Subway “restaurant”, then be sure to print out this coupon for a free bag of Baked Veggie Crisps. I’ve never had these before, but I do know that other similar products taste awesome. Plus, I literally live within a 30 second walk to a Subway, so you know I’m printing this out and getting a bag. Heck, it could be a coupon for a free cup of ice and I’d still probably go get it!

This expires on June 15, 2008.

Fellow Hiffer Mersida sent in this coupon for a pair of free Jockey underwear at Macy’s from May 31-June 6. You can never have too many pairs of underwear!

EDIT: Dead now

This coupon for some free Yoplait yogurt looks promising, but only if you don’t live in California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota and Tennessee. Why? Because apparently Yoplait doesn’t like giving away free stuff to residence in those states. I’m not sure how big HIF is up in North Dakota or Idaho, but hopefully it’s minimal.

Wow, I actually remembered my log-in! How about that? Okay, its not that I forgot… I was just out of town for my anniversary, had Goob take over on my blog for a day, and just started a new semester of classes… Well, that last one is today, but the other two were for the weeks prior, so I feel its only fair that I give a freebee that keeps on giving…

From May 10th through June 12th, if you’re at the mall and find yourself by an Aunt Annie’s Pretzel, text the word “pretzel” to the number 70734. You’ll then get a coupon good for a free Aunt Annie’s Pretzel. And you can do this one time a day! Seriously! So why not just head daily for a pretzel, you know? Instead of a coffee break, have a pretzel break. If you work at the mall, don’t meet your co-workers at the water cooler, meet them at the pretzel stand–which is an autonomous unit for mid-mall snacking, mind you.

Offer only valid at participating locations (which will have signs reminding people of the codes and numbers), standard text messaging rates apply

Man, these little packets that you add to water must be all the rage now. It feels like this free Protein 2-Go is the millionth variety I’ve posted lately. You actually have to download and print this coupon out, but that’s not too shabby. How does this freebie actually taste? Beats me, but if the tap-water where you live tastes like it’s coming straight out of a swimming pool (HEY, WATER COMPANY! LAY BACK ON THE CHLORINE!) then this can only be an improvement over the status quo.

I’d never shopped at a Kohl’s until I moved to Virginia, but it certainly came in handy every time I realized I’d lost my last pair of kahkis or needed another belt or whatnot. Some of you might be wondering how you can lose pairs of pants, but trust me, I’m capable of doing such a thing. Looks like my next missplaced clothing item won’t cost me as much to replace it since I just found this free $5 Kohl’s gift card plus another 10% any online purchase. Woo hoo for deals!

Bethany from Centsible Shopper just alerted me to the fact that Walgreens is now officially having their Jane Week, which is a week where you can use this $2 off for each Jane makeup product you purchase.

This in and of itself isn’t that huge of a deal, but when combined with other products and coupons, you can suddenly get a lot of products for practically nothing. Here are a few scenarios that Bethany came up with showing how you can get $30 worth of stuff for less than $2. Pretty nifty. Makes me glad I have a Walgreens within walking distance!

I recently stumbled across a coupon for a free pie from Burger King, so I uploaded it to HIF and am sharing it with y’all. It expires in just a few days on January 31st, so make sure you print a few out and enjoy more than one! This freebie made me realize that we’ve had a lot of coupons on here recently and I was wondering what y’all thought about that. Do you enjoy the coupons for free stuff or would you rather we only posted links to freebies where you could sign up for it and then forget about it until it came in the mail?

If you or your children might enjoy some free Yoplait Kids yogurt, then be sure to sign up for this freebie. Unfortunately, if you live in California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota or Tennessee, then you’re out of luck because the site says they can’t send you the coupon. Which doesn’t make much sense to me. What’s so special about those states? Do they not eat yogurt in North Dakota? Too cold for them up there? And what’s so special about Idaho? Or Tennessee?! Dang it, I want to know why the residents in these fine states don’t get any free yogurt!

If you enjoy free Krispy Kreme Donuts as much as I do, then A) You’re awesome and B) You’ll love this coupon that I recently found. As usual, I’ve uploaded it here to HIF just in case the coupon gets deleted on other sites. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go buy a few dozen donuts and eat as many of them as I can while trying to forget all about that freaking football game Sunday night…

Did you know that tomorrow (Wednesday January 23, 2008) is National Pie Day? Yeah, neither did I. But Bakers Square has a coupon on their website for a free slice of pie to celebrate the occasion. Let’s all say a giant “woo hoo!” together now! Frankly, after seeing this freebie, I think we need a National Pie Month. Or better yet, a whole year! I would probably gain around 50 pounds thanks to all the free pie I’d be eating, but it’d be more than worth it.

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.

The past few days, I’ve been parked in front of my computer rumbling through CSS, HTML, PHP, and WordPress, trying to get my own website off the ground. Suffice to say that after three long 8-hour days, I think I’m finally there.

As to eating in those days, whatever I could find around me, I ate. Sample packs of 100 Calorie Chips Ahoy, Ritz Chips from airlines, and tons of candy. I did find solace in finding this free SouthBeach Living kit with granola bites, drink stir in mix, and $2 in coupons. With more small snack packs like this, I’ll replinish my coding snack stash in no time flat!

Oh, and for those interested in what I’ve done and who have enjoyed my writing style, the link is in my forum signature. So come on by and say hi, if you’d like.

I was updating the list of places where you can eat for free on your birthday and came across a few good places where you can get free restaurant meals or goodies no matter when your birthday is. So I naturally figured, why not just make a post them?! But after you sign up for a few of these offers, make sure you check out the updated free birthday food page. Among some of the new places you can sign up for goodies is Baskin Robbins, Captain D’s, Zaxby’s, Marble Slab Creamery, Brunswick Bowling, Toys R Us, Target, and a whole lot more. Pretty nifty, huh?

If every single fast food chain in the world were to shut down tomorrow except for one, as long as there was one Chik-Fil-A open, I’d be alright. There’s something about their food that I love. I mean, chicken and a biscuit? How much better than that could you get? Seriously!

That’s what makes this latest promotion from them so great. If you’re one of the first 150,000 you end up with a coupon for a free Chik-Fil-A Chicken Biscuit. And what’s even better, the first 150,000 also get a free cow calendar, which has other coupons, and gift cards too. And 2,000 of the gift cards will be loaded with $100. So all of those freebees if you get in there in time!

So hurry! Why are you still reading! You should be putting down that champagne flute and signing up now. I mean, you’ll need breakfast to break that hangover, right?

Happy New Year, folks… See you in 2008 with more freebees!
