Free Redbox Rental Code (03/17)

Goob — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 17:57:38 +0000

This Daylight Saving business is really messing me up. I overslept today plus I was late returning my Redbox last night. Sure, I was three hours late in both cases, but focusing on that would be ignoring the greater fact that I want to blame my sleepiness on Congress!

Though, until I figure how best to do so, I’ll keep setting an alarm and renting free movies. In fact, if you become a fan of Redbox on Facebook, you’ll get a free Redbox rental code that will be good on Wednesday, March 17.

Free Redbox Rental Code

Goob — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 16:21:41 +0000

The latest free Redbox rental code of RBXLUV4U expires at midnight CST tonight, Monday, March 1. It’s nice to know that after all this time, Redbox still loves me, but I think the gesture would have gone a bit further had they made the code RBXLUV4GOOB. It also would have confused millions of people nationwide, but that would have been just a sweet bonus.

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.

Free Redbox Rental Code

Goob — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 18:50:22 +0000

I’m now within walking distance to my nearest Redbox kiosk, which makes this free rental code of 2DGTAL22 much more useful. The last time I tried to pull out of my parking space, I rammed a bank of snow. Of course, I didn’t bother digging my truck out, so it didn’t take long for impact.

Free Martha Stewart Thanksgiving Recipes

Goob — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 19:17:58 +0000

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!

Free MacHeist Applications

Goob — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:18:40 +0000

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:

ShoveBox – $25
WriteRoom – $25
Twitterrific – $15
TinyGrab – $14
Hordes of Orcs – $25
Mariner Write – $50
Virus Barrier – $70

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.

Free Crock-Pot Recipe e-Book

Goob — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 18:18:37 +0000

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.

460+ Free Audio Books

Goob — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 15:29:47 +0000

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.

Rebate-ish: Free Kellogg’s $10 Bonus Bucks

Goob — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 18:43:06 +0000

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:

Buy three (3) specially marked boxes of Kellogg’s® cereal and collect the codes inside each box.
Enter codes at Kellogg Bonus Bucks.
Receive your $10 Bonus Bucks certificate by mail.
Redeem your certificate at a variety of participating retailers.

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!

Free Safety Around Dogs Video

Goob — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 17:58:25 +0000

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.

Free Discover Texas & Kate Walsh Albums

Goob — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 17:03:03 +0000

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. Then I picked up this free Kate Walsh Acoustic EP. The three songs on her album are $0.99 individually, but free if you download the entire album, so…that makes sense? Something tells me whoever set those prices didn’t quite think it all the way through.

Free Smile Pinki Documentary DVD

Goob — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 16:40:17 +0000

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!

Free Carfax Report

Goob — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:59:14 +0000

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.

Seven Free Childrens Audio Books

Goob — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 16:33:10 +0000

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.

Free Amazon Kindle Books

Goob — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 02:22:16 +0000

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 available. It might be worth scooping up a bunch of them for later even if you’re not looking for anything new to read now.

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.

Free $1.29 From Amazon Plus Free & Cheap Music

Goob — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 16:40:12 +0000

To celebrate getting a million followers on Twitter (wow, HIF doesn’t even have nearly that many ), Amazon is giving away a $1.29 credit that can be used to download a free mp3 song. The credit will be applied to your account and most songs are only $0.99, so you can actually get a song and a third for free!

Amazon is also running an offer this month of 50 different albums for only $5. They have albums from bands like the Rolling Stones, Steely Dan, John Coltrane, The Roots, Willie Nelson, Gloriana, Marie Digby, Crystal Method, Fabolous and Shinedown. So…pretty much something for everybody. It might be worth checking out if you’re a music buff. Check out the banner below for more info.

And finally, as we’ve written about before, Amazon offers a hoard of free music available to anybody who wants it. The current count of freebies stands at 1,200, so never again shall you complain that you have nothing to listen to!

16 Free Harlequin e-Books

Goob — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 18:15:12 +0000

To celebrate their 60th anniversary, you can download up to 16 free Harlequin e-books, which all together retail for $60. While browsing through the available titles, I spotted one cover with a hunky guy and gorgeous girl locked in a deep embrace. That’s funny, I don’t remember there being any photographers around then. I should probably make sure there aren’t any paparazzi in my bushes right now.

New Cellfire Coupons

Goob — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 17:48:51 +0000

Free GeoTrax DVD

Goob — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 17:58:37 +0000

We posted this free GeoTrax DVD offer last summer, but the previous link no longer works and I think this is a new DVD? I can’t be certain as I didn’t actually watch the movie when I got it. I figured I didn’t really need another reason to start drinking before noon.

Instore: Free Apple Summer Workshops

Goob — Fri, 22 May 2009 17:40:06 +0000

If you’re still scrambling to come up with ideas for occupying the munchkins this summer, you might want to check out these free Apple Summer Workshops for kids 8-12. Apple Stores across the country will be providing kids with computers, digital cameras, and camcorders to help them create and produce digital masterpieces, such as slideshows, movies, and songs. They have a Camp Permission Statement with some additional fine print, but it sounds like a pretty cool activity to me. Then again, I’m a 26 year old who still plays with Legos, so I may not be on the cutting edge of what’s cool these days.

Free Precious Places DVD

Goob — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 20:25:10 +0000

I opened the free Precious Places DVD website early this morning before I was even awake and let me say this: if there’s one thing better than coffee at jolting you into the land of the living, it’s having your speakers turned up to maximum volume while a girl’s Mattel cartoon starts screaming at you.

I had trouble getting this to work this afternoon, but it finally looks like they have their system set up properly.
