Freebies and free stuff

It’s a new month which means there’s a new Aerie in-store freebie available every Thursday. This month they’re offering a free signature scent that retails for $12.50. As the image above shows, they have a wide variety of scents available. I’m personally having trouble deciding between “flirty” and “pretty.” Which do you think will help the most with the ladies?

You have to be a member of their A-lister club, however you can join on-line or in-store for free and get your freebie the same day! You may want to call ahead and make sure your local store has some left in supply before heading out.

If you wear orange to your local Whataburger between 5-8pm on Tuesday, November 10, then you can get a free burger. I’ve never eaten at a Whataburger, but I have started an impromptu rap session by using only parts of their name. “Whataburger, whataburger, burger what what?!”

I now eagerly await my much deserved Grammy.

Not content with giving away free toys on Halloween (more on that soon!), Sears is also giving away a free Halloween-themed portrait collage worth $44! You’ve got until Saturday, October 31 to use the coupon and the fine print says nothing about making an additional purchase.* So if your kid looks especially cute in their costume this year (and come on, how can they not?), you might want to take advantage of this.

*According to Freebies 4 Mom, some people have had mixed success with this. If you’re interested, make sure to call your local store and confirm they’re participating.

If you stop in at Victoria’s Secret and get a free bra fitting, then you can also get free Beauty Rush lip gloss. I’m nowhere near mature enough to write about bra fittings, so let’s collectively sigh in relief and thank our deity of choice that this post is now over.

The coupon expires on November 15, but supplies are limited. If you’re at work, you might want to wait until you get home to print the coupon as there’s an image of a model in a bra.

EDIT: This is no longer available.

It turns out that today is not only free KFC and awesome Boston Market deal day, but it’s also World Pasta Day. In celebration, Buca di Beppo (heh heh, that’s fun to say) is giving away free spaghetti with any entree or pasta purchase today, Monday, October 26! Their restaurant locations are a bit scattered, but if you have one nearby, I’d consider taking up this offer not only for the free spaghetti, but because they’ll also send home with you a free package of Rummo pasta.

Sorry for the late notice, but I just found out about it!

Don’t forget that today, Monday, October 26 is when KFC is giving away free grilled chicken. We wrote up a post about it last week, but I figured a little reminder couldn’t hurt. In fact, I have to remind myself of things all the time. Sometimes I…even…forget…oh crap, I need to breathe!

*takes deep breath*

Ah, much better. I’m always forgetting the most basic stuff!

If you think your dog will let you dress him/her up in a Halloween costume, then head to your local Petco store Saturday, October 24 and get a free 1lb. bag of Hill’s Science dog food! Too bad there’s no way either of my dogs will let me dress them up. They love me and all, but even they draw the line somewhere.

Additional prizes will be awarded and registration begins at 1 pm. The “contest” will be held from 2-4 pm and freebie supplies will obviously be on a first come, first serve basis.

I almost forgot that today is the first of three days for free Clarins Skin Facial Treatments at your nearest Lord & Taylors. We wrote about it last month, but in case you missed it, all you have to do is register for an appointment on-line. Space is still available at my local store, so fingers crossed it will be at yours too.

I thought about trying to get one of these freebies, but I doubt I could pull it off. I imagine my week-old beard would pose the first of many problems.

I have no idea what a Frankenstring magic trick kit is, but that’s what they’re building at the next free Lowe’s Build & Grow Clinic this Saturday, October 24 from 10-11am. Anybody with half a brain knows that magic is fantastic, so this should be a fun little toy to build. I just wish I could actually do some magic. I always end up picking the wrong card or setting my sleeve on fire.

The Associated Press is reporting that on Monday, October 26, anybody can stop in and get a free piece of grilled chicken at KFC. If you’ve been a fan of freebies for a while, you might remember they had a similar offer back in May. They were so overwhelmed with requests that they had to issue rainchecks. I guess that’s what happens when Oprah talks about it. They promise to be ready this time around, so here’s to a free lunch this coming Monday!

Also, if you’re a regular of KFC, they have a dozen or so printable coupons on their site.

Here’s a coupon for a free T.G.I. Friday’s appetizer with the purchase of a drink at the bar between 4pm – close. There’s no limit on the drink (it can be alcoholic or non) and the coupon expires on November 1, 2009. I guess I know where I’ll be on Halloween. To heck with giving out candy, I want free food!

There’s also a coupon for a $5 sandwich or salad for lunch, but how much do they normally cost? Is that even a decent deal?

If you print out this coupon, you can take it into your local Sephora store inside a JCPenney to get either a free LORAC TANtalizer Baked Bronzer or a Mini Couture Shine Liquid Lipstick. I know this is probably a silly question, but I can’t slather the Baked Bronzer on my turkey this Thanksgiving in place of cooking it, right? It can’t possibly taste any worse than if I cooked it, but then again, my family probably wouldn’t appreciate the inevitable trip to the hospital. Ugh, they can be so demanding!

EDIT: They changed the fine print to say that this offer is only valid in the Seattle area.

If you don’t mind purchasing a large drink, you can get a free Jack In The Box grilled sandwich on Tuesday, October 20. This is a promotion through Jack’s Secret Society of Cool People and Holy Crap, this is the best freebie ever. Are you telling me that if I get this freebie, I’m not only in a secret society, but also officially cool? To heck with working today, I’m gonna go camp out in front of my local Jack to make sure I’m the first person in line!

Walgreens currently has a sale going on where, when combined with some free printable coupons, you can get two free packs of Trident gum between now and the end of the month! First, there’s a free Trident Layers Gum coupon on HIF’s SS page for $1/2. Then, you also get $1 Register Reward when you buy two packs. So you pay $1 out of pocket today, but that $1 RR can be used on anything during your next visit, thus making the gum in effect free! Make sure you stick around for the $1 RR to print out though – I almost walked out of the store this afternoon without grabbing it.

Log-in or register on their site and then on the left hand side will be a coupon for a free pair of Victoria’s Secret pink panties plus $10 off any bra. I don’t really need a bra, then again, I don’t really need any pink panties either. But they’re free… Hmmm…

The coupon is valid until November 9 and it says you’ll need to bring a valid photo ID, so don’t use a fake name like Dr. Faker McFakerson. Unless that’s your real name, in which case, I’d love to meet your parents sometime. I have a feeling we’d hit it off.
