Freebies and free stuff

Costco is offering 20 pieces of free Nicorette cinnamon gum, which I promptly sent to my brother. He may not listen to me when I tell him to quit, but he can’t ignore the power of freebies!

Well, technically, he can ignore anything he darn well pleases now that he’s an adult. I miss the simpler times when we were younger and I could get him to do anything I wanted with nothing more than a mean glare and a raised fist. Ahhh, the good ole’ days…

EDIT: They removed the “get sample” button, so they’re probably out of stock.

Hiffers, you have a mission. Freebie companies are now frequently releasing offers that coincide with popular events, dates, or traditions. Case in point, Sam’s Club’s free Slim Fast peanut butter snack bar that just so happens to come out when millions of Americans are pondering losing pounds.

So here’s what we need to do. Let’s make a new tradition of giving away cakes, chocolates, and cookies to each other on March 5. Imagine the possibilities! Krispy Kreme and Dunkin Donuts will have no choice but to give away free donuts that day. Hershey’s and Betty Crocker could set up rebates on chocolate milk and brownies. Mars could bring back their 100,000 free coupons!

Okay, deep breaths, Goob. I’m hyperventilating just thinking about it.

EDIT: The Slam drink is now expired, however the Spark is still up.

Sometimes a freebie comes along that I know either Goob or I look at and think its too good to be true. Case in point? This free Spark energy drink mix or free Slam energy drink offer. I’ll be honest that when I first saw it last year (okay, okay, it was only this Tuesday, but it was last year), it seemed a little funky and almost too good to be true…

But now as I drink my mandarin orange Spark, waiting for my laundry to finish in the dryer before my wife and I head up to Chicago tomorrow and I feel awake, energized, and amazed that a freebie actually came in 4 days? Well, I wish I had another!

The last time these free CankerMelts were offered was back in January. I used them a few months later and they tasted quite odd, but helped numb my mouth a bit. However, vodka or rum could have produced the same results if you ask me.

After eating all of the holiday feasts, it seems that the makers of Nature Made have decided to endow us with their offer for free Triple Flex softgels yet again (I’d link the first four or so times, but I’m lazy). I think they’re telling us that we’re fat from the food, wrecking our joints, and all of our base belong to them

Wow, well, I know I’ve been quiet the past few weeks, but I swear I haven’t forgotten about everyone at HIF! While Goob was busy here with his posts, I was in the midst of the retail Christmas rush and loving every minute of it!

Needless to say, these free stress management downloads (right-click, save as)? Well, they’re just about a few weeks too late for me and my plate (and for some of y’all and the in-law visits, I’m sure), but its never too early to start mentally preparing for next year, right?

EDIT: This is no longer available. It stayed up for a whole hour though!

The free Excedrin Extra Strength medicine I posted two weeks ago is available again. Let’s see if it stay’s up longer than 20 minutes this time.

As with other Sam’s Club freebies, you don’t need a membership number – just skip that field and the form should submit just fine. If you signed up for this freebie earlier, you won’t be able to get it this time around.

Walmart is offering free orange Benefiber and…hmm, that sounds odd. It’s orange flavored. The way I worded it made it sound radioactive. I mean, I can’t be positive it’s not radioactive, but let me try again.

Here’s a freebie that will almost certainly give you superpowers. Wait…dang it!

EDIT: Looks like this offer died shortly after I posted it. Sorry about that!

I’m officially jealous of Sam and not because he’s offering free Excedrin Extra Strength medicine. It’s because he has a club! I want a club. Goob’s Club. We probably wouldn’t sell stuff, but like any good club, there’d be lots of hanging out. And chilling. Unlimited drinks! Free buffalo wings!

Oh who am I kidding, my own club sounds too good to be true. There’s no way they’d let me join.

These free PowerBar gel blasts almost scare me. Look at all the power blasting from each gel. There’s no way my body will be able to handle one of those. I sit in front of a computer all day long and read a few thousand words. A handful of peanuts is all it takes to keep me going through the day. I do have a cell phone that won’t hold a charge anymore though… I wonder if I can jam one of these gels in there somehow…

They force you to join their newsletter, so I forced it to go to my freebie e-mail account. You might want to do the same.
