Freebies and free stuff

As many of you probably saw during the Super Bowl last night, for the second year in a row there will be free Denny’s Grand Slam Breakfast on Tuesday, February 9 from 6am to 2pm. It was an absolute madhouse last year (my local Denny’s actually burnt down that night), but maybe they learned from the experience and this year will run more smoothly.

Also, I’d like to offer some free, unsolicited advice to Denny’s. If you plan on running this promotion next year, leave the screaming chickens commercials on the cutting room floor.

EDIT: They are out of hot sauce.

I love it when big events fall on my birthday, like the Super Bowl this year, as it helps me remember when it is. Although, it’s bittersweet as I’m a Green Bay Packers fan and dang it, they should be playing in this game! Oh well, at least now I have a horse in this race, as we’ll all get free Louisiana Hot Sauce if the New Orleans Saints win this weekend.

The rules are a bit vague, but I think you need to become a fan of them today in order to be eligible for the freebie. Don’t quote me on that, though. In fact, you should never quote me on anything. I’m far from a wordsmith.

EDIT: As it’s no longer Friday, this freebie has expired.

Be sure to sign up for your free BOGO eggs coupon from Incredible Edible Eggs today on Facebook. You’ll get the coupon via e-mail, but there’s no word on when they’ll send it out.

For today only, Starbucks is giving away free KIND bars at over 7,000 participating locations. The freebie’s nice, but I’m most excited over the invention of a food that changes moods. The way I’m feeling right now, it’s as if I ate a bowl of Rage Against Mother Nature for breakfast.

You may want to make sure your local Starbucks is participating before strolling in there.

Long John Silver has a new Spin & Win Fish Fry game where you could win up $20,000. I thought about lumping this in with todays Try Your Luck Thursday post, but then saw that everybody who enters gets a free Crispy Breaded Fish coupon.

If you decide to play the cooking game, make sure the rest of your day’s schedule is clear. I cooked enough crispy and classic fish to feed Bangladesh this morning. Now I’m craving sushi for lunch.

I’m almost scared to post this new free Cream of Wheat offer. The previous two freebies that came back to life this month (ConAgra Coupon Book and Gold Bond) both died within minutes. Will this be any different? My money’s on black. Or fourteen. How does gambling work again?

If you signed up for this previously, make sure to use a different e-mail address this time.

The Got Milk? campaign has reset their coupon print limit for the free half gallon of chocolate milk when you purchase a full gallon. As a single guy in his twenties, I couldn’t be happier, as I eat my fair share of cereal for breakfast…and lunch…and dinner…

Hey, stop looking at me that way! Cereal has all of the important food groups: crunchy, sweet, filling, and fits in a bowl.

If you’re a heavy egg eater, than be sure to Facebook fan The Incredible Edible Egg on Friday, February 5th, and get a BOGO coupon for a dozen eggs. There will only be thirty thousand coupons available and I’m not sure if it’s limited to their first 30k fans or a first come, first serve kind of deal.

Even if you don’t like eggs, there are plenty of other uses for them. For instance, invite a friend over and joke about throwing them at somebody else. Give your friend an egg, wait for them to turn around, and presto! You’ve got 23 eggs and a prime target all at your disposal.

If you have a Pilot Travel Center nearby, then become a fan of them on Facebook and get a coupon for a free box of Revolution tea. If you don’t have a local Pilot and really want the tea, you might consider writing on Pilot’s wall and asking if they’ll mail you the tea directly.

You know what’s coming next, don’t you? Here’s where I subtly hint that HIF has a Facebook group and that you become a fan. Then I ramble on about how cool our fans are and how we already have 4 or 8 million of them. Or maybe we only have 17,580. I never did trust math after it joined the Axis of Evil.

Talk about an old-school freebie coming back from the dead. We first posted this free Yogi tea back in September of 2006. 41 months may not seem long, but in freebie terms, that’s like the Middle Ages.

In fact, back then I used to hunt for freebies while dressed in a full suit of armor! I was worried my pets would band together and create a new nation-state without me, so I was constantly ready to fight. Fortunately, I soon discovered the New World followed by the Enlightenment. Both are still two of my favorite bars.

The way this freebie works is that you send a “well wish” to your friend and they get two free tea samples. Either make sure they send you a well wish back or send one to yourself.
