Today is Free Shipping Day where everybody gets a free tapdancing penguin. Okay, maybe not, but I wanted to make sure you were actually reading this instead of going straight to the links. Free Shipping Day is just that – a day where over 2,500 stores offer free shipping with the guarantee that your purchase arrives before Christmas.
And remember to go through your Ebates or Big Crumbs accounts to get cash back on any purchases you make!
Amazon has updated their free Price Check app for your iPhone or your Android
For today only, Saturday December 10, you can get up to $15 on Amazon for free. You get a a 5% discount, up to $5 and on up to three items, just by checking a price. So let’s say you’re planning to buy a digital camera for a Christmas gift. If you’re going shopping today, swing by Best Buy or whoever else sells the camera, scan it with your Price Check app, then place the camera in your shopping cart on Amazon. If you then decide to purchase the camera on Amazon within the next 24 hours, you’ll get a 5% discount (up to $5) on it for free. And then you can do that again for two more additional items.
It’s kind of weird and complicated, but I know people are buying larger items this time of year and $15 is $15. The hardest part of all this for me is getting dressed and actually venturing out into the real world. *shudders*
For today only, some people can get a free one year ShopRunner membership on Facebook. They’re only giving away a limited number and I’m already a member, so I can’t tell how many they have left. But if you’re not a member, you should totally sign up. In case you missed my post last month, normally this costs $79 a year and what you get is free 2-day shipping to over 50 participating stores like Toys-R-Us, American Eagle, NFL.com, and even Domino’s Pizza! Because who doesn’t order their pizza two days in advance?
Also, you’re welcome for me avoiding the painful “I never run to shop!” joke.
The freebies are nonexistent today, so here are two pizza offers that some of you might find interesting. First is the contest on Domino’s Facebook page, where they are giving away a free $10 gift card every 60 seconds through August 15. It’s actually a video game contest with rage-inducing music. The game stars every minute and your odds are based on how many other people play. I came in 57th out of 110, so in other words, sucks to be me. Though if you can’t sleep one night, how many people do you think will be playing at 3:46am?
Or perhaps you’re craving Pizza Hut. If that’s the case, make your purchase online and you’ll get a free P’Zone thrown in. You’ll have to add a stupid application to your account in order to get the freebie, so here’s the handy guide I wrote last year on how to remove it.
I marked this free Arby’s value meal item as a deal because you have to make a purchase to get it. Any purchase. So what’s the cheapest thing on their menu? A small coke? Sure, let’s say that.
I know the freebies have been kind of lame this week. It usually happens after weeks where lots of awesome freebies are given out, like last week. I promise things will pick up soon.
Here’s a nice deal for anybody who loves unhealthy healthy drinks. McDonald’s is offering a BOGO coupon for one free Strawberry Lemonade, Frappé or Real Fruit Smoothie. The coupon is sneakily hidden behind the orange Pineapple Mango drink. Click it and you’ll see an option to print the coupon.

TinyPrints is holding an offer today where you can get a custom Father’s Day card for only $0.99. If you have it sent elsewhere, it’ll cost an extra $0.44, so hopefully you live near your dad. All you have to do is use code GC99 at checkout.
They held the same deal for Mother’s Day, but I was traveling and didn’t get a chance to post it. However my sister made one for our mom and it was awesome, especially the part where she made it seem like it came from me and then purposefully misspelled everything and made it look like I was an idiot. Ahhh, the Goob family.
Next is an offer from CardStore. This deal is for a free card, shipping included. The coupon code for this is FREECARD and again, enter it at the checkout screen. Make sure you hit “apply” instead of hitting “next.” That way you’ll be able to skip the credit card section.
If anybody comes across any additional codes for Father’s Day cards, then please share them in the comments!
EDIT: Looks like the sale was for one day only, so this deal is dead.
Lada Gaga’s new album dropped today (forgive me for using that phrase) and Amazon has it priced for only $1
Amazon’s servers are being slammed right now, so you’ll probably have trouble downloading it immediately. However they promise everybody who buys it will get it, most likely by tonight.
[thanks Kyle!]
You can print a coupon on Facebook for a free Market Fresh Grilled Chicken & Pecan Salad sandwich with and 22 oz. Pepsi purchase. It doesn’t expire until May 15 either, so you don’t have to cancel your lunch plans for today. That’s great news for my 1:00 business lunch with my dogs.
Tonight from 5-10pm is Baskin Robbins 31 cent scoop night. You’re limited to three scoops, so in effect you can get a bunch of ice cream for a buck. Pun fully intended when I say Sweet!
[thanks Margaret!]
Congratulations! You've just discovered HIF - the coolest site on the Internet if you ignore lots of other sites. I'm Goob and I spend way too much time looking for 100% legit freebies. I also make horrible jokes.
