Freebies and free stuff

Pinnacle Foods has a new $5 in coupons rebate offer running since their previous one just expired. All you have to do is purchase five of the brands below before 12/7/09 and then send in the rebate form before 1/7/10. The qualifying brands are:

• Armour
• Duncan Hines
• Log Cabin
• Mrs. Butterworth’s
• Open Pit
• Vlasic

Like before, if you already buy any of these products, you might as well get some free coupons! If it helps, there are $0.50/1 Vlasic and $0.75/1 Duncan Hines Whole Grain Muffin Mix coupons available on SmartSource.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to leave for a few hours. I have an appointment with my, ahhhh, optometrist. Yeah! His name? Doctor … Sandman? Fine, you caught me. I was going to go take a nap… Thanks for blowing my cover!

This holiday season, Kraft is offering a free $10 rebate if you purchase any 10 of Nabisco Crackers, Easy Cheese, or Planters Nuts before 11/30/09. Check out the rebate form for a full list of qualifying items, as there are 11 in all. It’s not a money-making deal, but if you already buy their products, you might as well take advantage of the free money they’re offering back to you!

There’s also a $1/2 Nabisco crackers coupon available on their site. It’s via SmartSource, but for some reason my computer was having trouble printing it. Anybody else having the same trouble?

If you purchase any five products from the brands listed below and then send in the UPCs, you’ll get five free $1 off coupons from Pinnacle Foods Group, the company that owns all of these brands. It doesn’t say precisely what the coupons will be for other than they’ll be $1 off, but they apparently ran this promotion back in the spring and it was popular enough to bring it back again this fall.

The brands in question are:

• Hungry-Man
• Mrs. Paul’s
• Van de Kamp’s
• Duncan Hines Oven Ready
• Aunt Jemima
• Lender’s Bagels

So if you already are buying these types of frozen foods, might as well stock up on some free coupons and get them even cheaper the next time around! Purchases have to be made between 10/11/09 and 11/9/09 and coupon requests must be postmarked by 12/9/09 and received by 12/31/09.

One of the offers that started while I was busy sleeping last week was Kellogg’s new $10 Bonus Bucks promotion. You have until 09/30/10 to do the following:

• Buy three (3) specially marked boxes of Kellogg’s® cereal and collect the codes inside each box.
• Enter codes at Kellogg Bonus Bucks.
• Receive your $10 Bonus Bucks certificate by mail.
• Redeem your certificate at a variety of participating retailers.

So basically buy three boxes of cereal and get a $10 giftcard that can be used at certain stores like Target, Walmart, Toys R Us, and more. Not too bad, especially considering that I go through three boxes of Frosted Mini-Wheats a day. I only eat a bowl every morning, but I use the rest to throw at people walking in front of my apartment every day. Makes for a perfect way to pass the time and let your neighbors know what you think of them!

The four participating cereals are Frosted Flakes, Froot (sic) Loops, Mini-Wheats and Raisin Bran. Also, Redplum has a $1.50/2 coupon for Mini-Wheats that can be applied towards this!

EDIT: This freebie is no longer available.

During Labor Day Weekend (9/5 – 9/7), pick up any Blue Bunny Aspen or Sedona Frozen Yogurt Granola Novelty (13 syllables in that product’s name!) and then use this rebate form to make it free! They held a similar offer back in May and I received my check around a month later, so I’ll certainly participate again this time. Although it really doesn’t take much to get me on board for something. You could stick a sign on the sidewalk that said “go wait here” with an arrow pointing towards a dark alley and I’d stand around for an hour before I realized it was a hoax.

You have to postmark the claim by 9/19 and make sure you include your original receipt and UPC bar codes.

Coupons.com has a free $1/2 BIC product coupon available for printing. If you then use the Target Coupon Generator and go to page two, you’ll see another another BIC $1/2 coupon on line 3. Many places sell BIC products for a few dollars, so in essence you can get them for free.

One such store is Rite Aid, where they have BIC Ctistal Stic Pens 10 ct. going 2 for $2.00. In addition, all of the items below are part of Rite Aid’s free after rebate deals this week. The price listed by them is what you’ll pay / receive. All of these are valid through 08/08.

• $9.99 – Bausch & Lomb ReNu MultiPlus Solutions 2 – 8 oz. Twin Pack
• $2.79 – Crest Pro-Health Whitening Toothpaste
• $14.99 – Skin Clinic Advanced Wart Remover 16 ct.
• $1.49 – Duck Brand EZ Start Fristration Free Tape 22.2 yards
• $8.99 – Natrol Probiotic 10 ct.
• $2.99 – Werther’s Original Caramel Chocolate 5.2 oz.
• $2.00 – GE Soft White Longlife Light Bulbs 60, 75, or 100 Watt 2 pack
• $4.99 – Zantac 150 8 ct.

And last, but not least, be sure to look for the 10% Rite Aid coupon also available on Coupons.com.

Last week there was a rash of in-store freebies and now it appears that this week is all about the coupons and rebates. If you have a cat in your home, check out this rebate form for a free 7 lb. bag of Feline Fresh cat litter that’s valid until Dec 31, 09. They’ll only reimburse up to $5.99, so make sure you’re not paying more than that at the store.

If you don’t have a cat, you might consider donating the litter to your local animal shelter. See, whoever said freebies can’t be used for the greater good of society?

Tyson may be well known for their chicken products, but I’ll always remember them as the company that traded for George Costanza in Seinfeld, which was in the same episode as the Peterman Reality Tour!

Kramer: Well, we have a bonus ultra-reality stop today. We’re gonna be hauling muffin stumps to the local…repository.
Random Man On Bus: We’re going to a garbage dump?
Kramer: And we’re off!
Jerry: You know, I never thought he’d be able to recreate the experience of actually knowing him, but this is pretty close.

What a classic episode. But random pop culture reference aside, it looks like Tyson is offering a free Tyson Skillet Creations rebate for up to $4.99 until 10/31. Furthermore, they’ve got a printable $1 coupon to lessen the temporary hit to your wallet. Just make sure you don’t forget to actually send off for the rebate!

If you purchase any Blue Bunny Aspen or Sedona Frozen Yogurt Granola Novelty over Memorial Day weekend (May 23-25), then you can use this free free Blue Bunny rebate form to get a full refund! You have until June 10 to postmark the submission and the rebate check should arrive at your house within 4-6 weeks of them receiving your claim. I plan on also asking if they’ll pay for a session or two with a personal trainer to help me work off the tubs of ice cream and piles of hamburgers I plan on eating this weekend.

Thanks to all the awesome Hiffers who sent this in!

I’m posting this free Reynold’s recycled foil wrap rebate offer a day early just so as many people as possible know about it. During Earth Day (Wednesday, April 22), head on over to their site to print a free rebate form worth up to $3.99. Alternatively, you can sign up now and they’ll email you a reminder tomorrow.

Reynolds must have been promoting the heck out of this offer as well, because no less than eight million* loyal Hiffers sent this in to me over the past week. You guys rock!
