‘Food’ Freebies


Free Crock Pot Soup Recipes Booklet

EDIT: They’ve since changed this offer to a printable copy of the booklet.

I know without a shadow of a doubt that I’ll put this free crock pot soup recipes booklet to good use. Is there any greater invention for those of us lacking culinary skills? If I hadn’t received a crock pot a few years ago as a gift, I probably wouldn’t have made it this far in life. Authorities would have probably found me crumpled on my kitchen floor and gnawing on some old socks.

Free Don Francisco’s Coffee

Too bad I don’t have this free Don Francisco’s coffee on hand for tomorrow morning. Every year my siblings want to shoot out of bed at the crack of dawn and start opening presents while I’m always mumbling “come on, just 5 more minutes!” Even on Christmas, sleep tops my list of Things That Should Be Done Prior To Noon.

Free Berry Burst Metamucil

I try not to repeat any freebies, but this free Berry Burst Metamucil is still available, is guaranteed to come, and will let you sign up again even if you signed up for it the first time around. Sweet, it’s the trifecta! We haven’t seen a freebie pull this off since 1979, when the legendary free Jimmy Carter posters were around! Unfortunately there weren’t any freebie sites back then to post it and even if there were, I don’t think anybody would have signed up.

Free Emergen-C

A bunch of people have sent in this free Emergen-C offer over the past week, but I kept deleting them all because I’d thought we already posted it. Heck, Shaynon even did a freebie review of it! But then I realized that we’d posted the Emergen-C Lemonade freebie (that’s since died) and that this is for the regular flavor. So…sweet! I’m incompetent! New freebie!

Although I’m a bit spooked by their website, particularly the part where all the silhouettes are orange. Is that an averse side effect from drinking too much of this stuff? Don’t get me wrong, I hate the common cold just as much as the next guy, but I also enjoy not looking like an Oompa Loompa with Jaundice.

Coupon: Free Arby’s Sandwich (w/ purchase)

I don’t usually post coupons that require you to buy something in order to get the freebie, but this free Arby’s roast beef sandwich coupon is interesting because it doesn’t say what exactly it is that you have to buy. It literally says “FREE REGULAR ROAST BEEF SANDWICH with any purchase.”

Do you have to buy another sandwich? What about if you only buy some fries? That’d be awesome, because if you couple it with this free mint shake coupon from last week, you could get a whole meal for the price of some curly fries!

Coupon expires this Sunday (Dec. 14) though, so make sure you use it quickly!

Coupon: Free Popcorn at IMAX

Here’s a coupon for some free popcorn at any AMC IMAX theater (clicking the link will download the coupon, then you need to print it). In addition, here’s a fun analogy problem that I think needs to be solved.

IMAX movie screen : regular movie screen ::

A) giant free popcorn : regular sized popcorn (woo hoo!)
B) regular free popcorn : regular sized popcorn (woo)
C) comically small free popcorn: regular sized popcorn (booo)

Come on, A! I’m sure I did that analogy wrong as well, but it’s been over nine years since I took the SAT. And eight years since I took it again. And again. And again… Go public schools!

Coupon: Free Arby’s Mint Shake

If you sign up for the Arby’s Extra club, they’ll send you a printable coupon within 24 hours for a free Arby’s Mint Shake. I signed up for this yesterday afternoon and had the coupon e-mailed to me this morning, so I wouldn’t count on using this the day you sign up. I initially thought I’d wait until the weather warmed up before I used the coupon, but then I remember I have the patience of a two year old and got it today after lunch :)

Free $10 Restaurant.com Gift Cards

Happy Thanksgiving, folks! Yup, you’re looking at the clock right and its 8am on the east coast, or just about 7am where I am in Illinois, and of all people in the world, I’m up. Why? Because the turkey that I’m in charge of cooking is still a frozen fourteen-and-a-half pound rock so its getting a cold water bath for the next 5 to 6 hours with standard dethawing directions.

Needless to say, its the perfect time for these three free Restaurant.com $10 giftcards. See, they’re giving away anyone who signs up for them 3 a day for anyone you want to send them to, and you can do that daily till Christmas!

So while I could give these out to my Mother and my Mother-In-Laws one day and my aunts the second day? Well, if that turkey is still a frozen rock, maybe my wife will give me three and I’ll give her three and we’ll just go out for dinner and have some turkey tomorrow…

Free GNC Bar or Drink

EDIT: This coupon expired Nov. 30, 2008.

Well folks, I know I’ve been quiet for a week but I’m here and I’m around and I’ll be back and forth as Goob is working on stuff server side of things before leaving for Turkey Day stuff, so you’ll see me a lot more as I try to fill in. Of course, all of this cuts into the time I’m spending on NaNoWriMo as I creep towards my 50k mark (I just passed the 30k mark last night, and going strong), but I’ve got the energy for it…

And when I don’t feel like I have the energy, I’d bet using this coupon for a Free GNC bar or drink would give me the boost that I need to get that extra thousand words in. Or an extra mile to my jog that I’ll take to procrastinate from it while burning off the huge dinner my wife’ll be cooking on Thursday…

Free Dr. Pepper for Chinese Democracy

Rock and roll fans, rejoice! Today is a day that’s been seventeen years in the making. Axl Rose has finally released Chinese Democracy today! I mean, wow, its hard for me to believe that this album was started only when I was eight years old! Wow!

But, what do we care about the album, that’s not free now, is it? Heck, even a pirater got sued for leaking it! Thankfully, I think Axl Rose likes Dr. Pepper, or at least likes a good freebie like us, seeing he hasn’t complained at all about this free 20 oz Dr. Pepper offer at all. And its nice and simple too.

Just head on over to the Dr. Pepper website today only (EDIT: And extended through Monday at least), click on the bottom left of the three boxes, enter in your information, and they’ll mail you a coupon for a free bottle! All that simple! Of course, you might have some loading problems because so many folks are going to want this one and it’s been pretty well advertised, so if the site takes some time to load? Hang in there. Heck, we waited 17 years for this album, what’s 17 minutes or so for a free Dr. Pepper? (EDIT: And if that doesn’t work, give them a call at 1-800-696-5891 and get your coupon anyways!)

So rock on, Axl. And if you do happen to get the album today, head over to the forums and let me know what you think of it… I’m still digesting it myself…

Free Godiva Chocolate

If you’re out shopping this weekend and see a Godiva store, stop in for some free Godiva chocolate and try not to pass out from all the deliciousness. They’re giving away free European Dessert Truffles this weekend followed by Candy Cane Bark next weekend. I had no idea candy canes were harvest from trees, but here’s to hoping the bark is just as tasty. And if anybody wants to buy me one of these candy cane trees for Christmas, you’d officially be my best friend.

Free Omega To Go Drink Mix

EDIT: It looks like no more Omega for us.

Who’s down for a little free Omega To Go drink mix action? It seems like I’ve gotten so many drink mix freebies lately and I’m starting to wonder if they’d taste good mixed together. A little Benefiber here, a little Splenda there, a dash of Omega and then a quick trip to the hospital for a stomach pump to cap it off!

Free Celtic Sea Salt

So…free celtic sea salt anybody? You might be wondering how this differs from normal sea salt, but luckily I know the answer. See, normal sea salt has the word “normal” in front of it, while this kind has the word “celtic.” It’s a pretty clear distinction now, huh? Don’t feel silly, it happens to the best of us from time to time.

And yes, I know the link above takes you to a page offering a free catalog. The salt comes with it, just hopefully not sprinkled amongst it.

Free $5 Starbucks Gift Card

EDIT: This looks to be dead now.

I’m up awfully early for a Saturday. Sure to you folks on the west coast its even earlier and to y’all on the east its just about 9am and the normal “sleep in” time, but for me? I’ve been up since 7:15 and its not a pretty morning. And still no snow.

Had there been snow, this free $5 Starbucks Gift Card would have been nice. You know, a nice warm drink just for that small survey that you take by clicking on the banner? But now? I guess I’ll have to stick with a cold glass of milk. It may be early, but I’m too lazy to use the microwave to make my own hot cocoa…

Free Marie Callendar Signature Saute

Around the apartment, I’m the one who’s the decider. Of dinner, that is. I do the shopping, the cooking, and the dishes. So if I decide that we’re going to have this free Marie Callendar Signature Saute meal? Then my word goes.

I think?
