Freebies and free stuff

I’m running out the door to the airport and am a little…what’s the phrase…late? No, that’s not it. Super duper late. Yes! That’s what I’m looking for. So for today, instead of posts with flowing setups and weak punchlines, I’m going to throw as many freebies as I can at ya. Think of it as HIF’s version of the Lightning Round.

This free Kraft Smile savings booklet and calendar is actually a back to school promotion, to which I say…huh? Isn’t it July 2? Who in the world is heading back to school already? Beats me, but the allure of $55 worth of coupons spread out over the upcoming year is enough for me to sign up.

EDIT: Doh, looks like these are gone for the time being.

Hey, it looks like our old friends at Luna are now giving away free Luna cookies. A few years back they gave away some of their lemon zest bars and … uh, let’s just hope these cookies taste better. But hey, who am I to complain about a freebie? I’m sure these cookies will be great because how can you mess up a cookie? It’s part of the Deliciousness Trifecta, along with pies and cakes, which I’ll eat no matter what ingredients are used.

It’s gotten to the point where I don’t even need the reminder on my calendar for this free Mars chocolate candy coupon and hey, it only took two months! Way to go memory!

In addition, I recently found this incredibly cheesy yet amazing promotional video for the offer staring Neil Patrick Harris. The ending tagline alone is brilliant: “because helping each other, that’s what America loves most … that, and free stuff.” Yes we do, Mr. Stinson, yes we do.

Don’t let the title fool you – Arby’s will give you a free roast beef sandwich today with a purchase of a drink, not just a pile of roast beef. That would just be weird. I keep forgetting to highlight these Arby’s deals each Wednesday even though I wrote about them back in May. Some might say I’m forgetful. To them I’d say…wait, what are we talking about again? Who the heck are you? Where am I?!

I don’t usually have trouble getting going during the morning, but I could really go for this free Steaz organic energy shot right about now. Heck, somebody just give me a regular shot. I’m sure a nice stab of a needle would wake me up. Let’s see, what haven’t I been immunized against recently. Small pox? Is that still around? How about tuberculosis?

Ugh, all this thinking is making me sleepy. That couch over there is looking awfully good… No, fight it Goob!

It seems that Nescafe can’t make up their minds about what they’re giving way! Why, two months ago, they tried for a second time to give us some coffee sample and now it looks like they have another free sample pack offer with a whole new link!

Oh well, if this stuff doesn’t come, I still have a 13 gallon garbage bag full of Via that my friend that works at Starbucks gave me…

I’m getting a late jump on the freebies this morning, but thankfully the ol’ faithful free Mars chocolate candy coupon is back today. Unfortunately I’ve hit my four coupon limit, so now I’m sending them to random friends and family members. It’s my way of trying to get them to eat as much unhealthy food as I do.

There’s yet another in-store freebie coming up – this Friday, June 19th, from 2-8pm you can get a free A&W Root Beer Float to celebrate A&W’s 90th anniversary. Personally, I think a better celebrations would be to give away 90 free root beer floats to each customer, but I’ll take whatever I can get.

Remember, the free Orange Julius Smoothie is this Friday as well!

EDIT: DiGiorno flipped their links around and now we can’t find the coupon on their site. So until we can find it again, this is dead.

I’ve started branching out to some new restaurants locally, mainly so I don’t have to do the dishes around the apartment. Its just more work that I don’t feel like doing, seeing I’ll just make food and make them dirty again. So the longer I can hold out, well, as long as I have a spoon, I guess I’m alright.

And that’s where this coupon for a free DiGiorno Flat Bread is so great! No plates needed, no silverware needed! Just rip open the box and make it on that! Now if only my cats will come closer so I can use them as napkins. I mean, they’re self cleaning, right?

Sign up now to receive two free Emeril’s Original Essence Seasoning packets from Emeril himself. Well, from his official site that is. I doubt Emeril’s personally sitting around filling all the freebie requests.

Ooooooh boy! Cow Appreciate Day is right around the corner and long story short, I still have my homemade cow costume from last year. Hooray for free Chick-fil-A meals!

In order to get the full free Chick-fil-A meal, all you have to do is dress up like a cow. Don’t have as much free time to make your own costume? Then simply print out this free costume kit from Chick-fil-A’s own site and get a free entree.

I bet some of you are pretty creative though and you’ve got almost a month to prepare. Fingers crossed I get some interesting email / Flickr uploads of Hiffers in their full cow gear

EDIT: I initially forgot to mention this and it’s already in the title, but this freebie is only available on July 10th.

EDIT: Looks like they’ve run out of stock.

Since my wife left for her summer internship, I’ve been working on cleaning out the fridge and cabinet before going out for more groceries. When I ran out of ice cream? I started putting yogurt cups in the freezer. When I ran out of milk? I started pouring Slim Fast shakes over my cereal. And now that I’ve run out of cereal? I only hope that this free Great Value cereal bar comes to me fast!

I have to admit that I’ve never been to a White Castle. Sure, I saw the Harold and Kumar movie, and sure, I’ve eaten at a Krystals–which is essentially the same thing–but I know I’m missing out. As a matter of fact, when I was driving back from Chicago about a month ago, I passed a few and was so tempted, just so I could say that I did.

But, now that I’ll be heading back to Chicago in a week? I’ll be armed with quite a few of these free White Castle slider coupons. Sure, that means I’ll be pulling off for a lot of exits, but that’s a lot of free sliders, and I’m ready for them!

In order to get these free Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters, all you have to do is text CLUSTER to 467467. You may notice that this is the number for ShopText, where you sign up for a free account and then simply text words directly to them in order to get freebies. Some Hiffers have reported that the signup process takes multiple text massages before you’re fully in the system, so if you pay by the text, you might want to skip over this.

Something else you may want to skip over is late night Saturday TV. There’s. Nothing. On. Trust me on this one.

I’m officially renaming Friday to free Mars chocolate candy coupon Day. All those opposed? Excellent, the motion passes 1-0.

I sure can get a lot of things done whenever I’m the only person making decisions. Put somebody like me in charge and then we can finally get away with those annoyingly protracted “check and balance” procedures in the government.
