Sirius radio is offering a free download of Martha Stewart’s Thanksgiving Hotline Recipes cookbook. Maybe this Thanksgiving I’ll whip up something a bit more fancy than my usual peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I was hoping it’d also have some stock tips, but oh well, at least the desserts look tasty!

For the third holiday season in a row, MacHeist is offering free applications for Mac computers, all of which normally would cost a pretty penny. Around 10% of Hiffers are on a Mac, so to those of you, enjoy! Currently, they’re offering the following pieces of software for free. I’ve also included what they’d normally cost:
Mariner Write will only become available if 500,000 total sign up before this round is over in the next three days. Virus Barrier is available only if you share MacHeist on your Facebook account. And finally, the Orc game is pretty darn fun, as the four hours of lost productivity yesterday can attest to.
EDIT: It’s November 3rd now, so this code is no longer valid.
Folks, I’ve got good news and bad news. The bad news is that the free monthly Redbox rental code program has now changed. Users are texted a unique code that is only valid for one-time uses only, which means the code they sent me this morning cannot be shared like months past.
However, Redbox also has an official Facebook group and an official Twitter account, where they posted the same code. I just got back from using it at two different Redbox kiosks, so it’s clearly not a one-use only code. Thus, we shall rejoice in the fact that I have no life and was able to spend an hour confirming today’s code of TEGJ6FD. Also, thanks goes to Tracy on HIF’s Facebook page for tipping me off on this.
As always, the code expires tonight at midnight CST. If you’re new to Redbox, check out the Redbox Explanation Guide that covers all the basics of how to use the free rental codes as well as some personal tips & tricks I’ve discovered to help maximize your freebie movies.
This free crock-pot recipe e-book has 33 total recipes in it and I couldn’t be happier. I just may live through the winter now! I don’t know who invented the crock-pot, but they deserve an award. It’s literally a magic pot – I throw in a bunch of raw ingredients in the morning and by dinner time, I have something edible and tasty. Why don’t we have more devices like this in our lives?
To get the recipe book, enter your e-mail address in the box that pops up on the first page and then select the option to skip straight to the recipe book. I didn’t print mine out since it’s 50 pages long, but I did print one or two recipes that I’ll try this week.
Audiobooks.net is offering over 460 free audio books to anybody who wants to download them. I have a rather lengthy road trip coming up soon, so hopefully I’ll be able to put some of these to good use and not go mad with boredom. Not to be confused with going mad with anger, which is actually kind of fun as long as there are nearby objects you can punch.
You have to sign up for a free account, but there’s no software to download. Just log in and start downloading whatever you want.
Here’s yet another free bit of music from Amazon, this time being The Best Of The Most Relaxing Classical Music In The Universe
The album has 15 songs and includes some popular ones, such as Claire De Lune, Fur Elise, and Canon In D. Plus, Amazon still has over 1,400 free songs

One of the offers that started while I was busy sleeping last week was Kellogg’s new $10 Bonus Bucks promotion. You have until 09/30/10 to do the following:
So basically buy three boxes of cereal and get a $10 giftcard that can be used at certain stores like Target, Walmart, Toys R Us, and more. Not too bad, especially considering that I go through three boxes of Frosted Mini-Wheats a day. I only eat a bowl every morning, but I use the rest to throw at people walking in front of my apartment every day. Makes for a perfect way to pass the time and let your neighbors know what you think of them!
The four participating cereals are Frosted Flakes, Froot (sic) Loops, Mini-Wheats and Raisin Bran. Also, Redplum has a $1.50/2 coupon for Mini-Wheats that can be applied towards this!
EDIT: This is no longer a valid code.
It’s official – the flu has ravaged the Goob household. It looks like a war zone out there: Kleenex scattered everywhere, half empty glasses of juice on every flat surface, and then the zombies. They’re supposedly humans that I once knew and loved, but judging from their current moans and wheezes, the only logical conclusion is that they want my delicious brain. I tried leaving my hermetically sealed bedroom to give this free Redbox rental code of QNGJ7KD as a peace offering, but their response was a cacophony of sneezes that I interpreted as an attack order.
If you’re new to Redbox, check out the Redbox Explanation Guide that covers all the basics of how to use the free rental codes as well as some personal tips & tricks I’ve discovered to help maximize your freebie movies.
It’s not the first Monday of the month, but there’s a new free Redbox Rental code available! The code is 9HB6MP22 and looks to be working nationwide from what I can tell. I’m not sure where this code originated from, however, so there’s no telling how long it will last. In other words, I’m giving you permission to sneak out of work immediately and go rent a free movie. If your bosses catch you, tell them Goob said it’s okay and I’m sure they’ll understand.
There’s also another new free code, which is SMR8DVD, but this one only works at McDonald’s.
Umm…folks, we’ve got a problem here. The very first sentence on the site for this free Safety Around Dogs video states “Children and dogs go together like peanut butter and jelly.” I hate to ask, but I think somebody needs to. Who’s eating children and dog sandwiches? Isn’t this sort of, maybe, potentially a crime and worth looking into? Why are we being so nonchalant about our nations dwindling children and dog population? Am I the only person worried here?
The video is designed for children in grades K-6 and is offered to teachers, librarians, youth group leaders, animal control officers, animal shelters, veterinarians and community and civic leaders. In order to get it, simply e-mail orderdesk@akc.org and include your name, school or affiliation (for example, the Boys and Girls Club), mailing address and daytime phone.
I have to say, I’m enjoying all the free music that Amazon is giving away. I’m not even a big country music fan, but I went ahead and downloaded this free Discover Texas Music: volume 1 album
This Smile Pinki DVD is not only free, but it also won a 2008 Oscar for Best Short Documentary. What you might not realize is that it beat out the movie I entered for Oscar consideration that year. It was titled The Real Goob and was an expose on how difficult a blogger lifestyle can be. The gripping footage included an infected paper cut I got while opening the mail and a cramp in my wrist that was suffered after typing for 10 minutes straight! The masterpiece was capped off with the Great Freebie Drought of Aught Seven, where for a week I couldn’t find anything worthy of posting and instead took a nap every day.
Man, just thinking about those hardships makes my palms sweaty!

EDIT: What the what? ALL THREE freebies that I posted today are now dead? Shouldn’t this have been in my horoscope or something?
This free Carfax Report offer is more of a playful freebie unless you’re in the market to purchase a car. I used my free report to look up my truck and was told that the odometer had potentially been tampered. Yeah, it’s my fault the makers only put five digits on the display so that after 99,999 it simply rolled over. Furthermore, I can’t believe I was caught! As soon as the first 100,000 were put on it, I raced around the country to secretly put on another 100,000 without anybody being any the wiser!
You know, I probably shouldn’t be telling this to tens of thousands of people. I’d make a horrible evil scientist.
Am I the only adult who will listen to these seven free children’s audio books while driving around thanks in part to the British voice they’re being read in? You could hire a British speaker to read the phone book and I’d not only want to listen, but feel as if I should wear a tuxedo in keeping with the elegance of the occasion.
The stories are a bit on the short side, but they might be useful for driving around town and doing errands.
If you happen to have an Amazon Kindle (you lucky dog!), then you might be pleased to know that there are a ton of free Amazon Kindle books
I know some of my friends complain that reading books and newspapers on an electronic device is sacrilege and I sort of agree. However, as I recently packed to move, I realized I owned enough books to fill the Ancient Library of Alexandria. Captain Beatty would fry me alive if he discovered my hoard. I’d probably thank him too. Just the thought of moving them again is giving me a hernia.
Hey there, I'm Goob and this is Hey, It's Free, otherwise known as HIF. I spend my days looking for 100% legit, non-spammy freebies. Have a look around and you'll realize we're the #1 site for freebies!
