Free Fishing Hook

Adam — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 05:51:26 +0000

EDIT: Crudbuckets. They look to be out of samples.

Whew, I thought that long three day weekends off from work are supposed to be relaxing! Not to say I didn’t have fun at my wife’s law convention wearing a fez and my bow tie and quoting Matt Smith for the better part of an hour, but something tells me that I didn’t quite catch on to what the Casablanca theme really was.

Maybe if I had one of these free fishing hooks I would have caught on all hook, line, and sinker…

Free PreSk8 Energy Shot

Adam — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 15:59:38 +0000

When this free PreSk8 Energy Shot comes, I have a feeling it’ll keep the folks at work far far away. I mean, if I get anywhere near the office coffee machine, my coworkers start getting jitters and shakes. Its not my fault that caffeine makes me super awesome now, is it?

Free SBR Sports Performance Products Samples

Adam — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 03:58:40 +0000

When I lived in Florida, I think I took the pool for granted. I mean, it was something that even in the cold of January when it was only 57 or so degrees outside? You would head over to the YMCA and jump into their heated indoor pool and be golden. Now, with my new apartment complex only having their pool open from July 4th through the Labor Day Weekend? Well, I forget that some places actually *have* this thing called winter.

So I can only hope that these free SBR Sports samples come fast enough for me to actually enjoy them this year. If not? I might have to fill up my bathtub, put some goggles on my cat, and lube him up to see how well they work for him…

Coupon: Free Game of Bowling on August 6th

Adam — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 04:03:23 +0000

I guess Goob and I both have been dense if we’ve missed National Bowling Week the past few years. And especially with this free game of bowling on August 6th for World Record Day? Well, you could say that we both struck out.

But that would be the wrong sport…

Free Nordic Naturals Sample

Goob — Tue, 31 May 2011 15:04:41 +0000

EDIT: It appears that we overwhelmed their supply. Bummer.

There’s a tiny blue “free sample” link at the bottom of this page that will net you a free Nordic Naturals Wellness, Sport, or Pet pack. I have no idea what any of those are. I know Nordic refers to the northern countries in Europe. And there’s that NordicTrack infomercial I see every few days. So … I’m just gonna slowly back away from the keyboard now and hope nobody notices.

[thanks Deal Seeking Mom!]

Free Golf Club Wrap

Adam — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 18:05:05 +0000

I used to always think that golfing would get me ahead in the world. Dentists were always golfing in movies, as were lawyers, doctors, and everyone else rich. Then, after Tiger Woods? Well, that sealed the deal.

So maybe if I just get this free golf club wrap, I’ll be a little closer to that richness and fame? Waiter! I’ll have another Bloody Mary, please, hold the blood and the mary!

Coupon: Free Game of Bowling at Brunswick Bowling Alleys

Adam — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 13:32:45 +0000

What’s a ghost’s favorite sport? Boo-ling.
What’s an alien’s favorite sport? Cosmic Bowling.

And with that, I can’t think of any more lame Halloween jokes involving bowling, so before I come up with them, quickly print these free Brunswick bowling coupons for trick-or-treaters that are good from October 31st through November 23rd. And then find an alley near you.

Free Non-Stop Ski DVD

Adam — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 23:11:35 +0000

With HIF just reaching over 4,000 posts, its hard for me to fathom that Goob, Shaynon, Jenna, and I have really spent that much time posting freebies. I mean, think about all of the time and effort and blood, sweat, and tears that we put into these few lines to reach you on your RSS feed to make you smile, laugh, cry, and tune in tomorrow for the next episode in the days of our mail lives–or in Goobman and Boy Adam’s lives!

That being said, I need a vacation. Maybe if I jack down the A/C in my apartment, open the windows, and watch this free Non-Stop Ski DVD, I’ll feel like I’m back in Park City…

Happy 4,000+ posts, HIFfers! Thanks for being along with us for the ride, and for the ride to come!

Two Free Bowling Games at AMF Bowling Centers

Adam — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 13:05:33 +0000

One of the things I’d like to do more of over my vacation is to just spend time doing inane fun things. Amidst the whole “sitting on my rear and clearing off my DVR” and the whole “reading Chelsea Handler’s books” and “jogging crazy long distances” and maybe even the whole “visit Amish country again just to get corn nuts,” I count bowling. Sure, its a fairly simple and everyday item, but when you have freebies like this two free bowling games at AMF Bowling Centers (after completing the survey, a printable coupon link appears), it further fuels its awesomeness.

Now I just need to find a nearby center…

Free Game of Bowling on August 7th

Adam — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 00:09:21 +0000

Apparently there’s a National Bowling Week with a World Record Bowling day in August? How did I not know this? I mean, my Oriental Trading Company calendar has so many crazy and random days and events, and yet, August 7th is not on it!

So now, I’ll have to write on it and mark it up for August 7th for World Record Bowling Day and this free game of bowling coupon. The problem is? I’ll be on vacation, so I’ll have to find one near me in Wisconsin…

I’m sure they have plenty of alleys. I mean, bowling: It goes great with beer and cheese.

Random Newcastle & Michelob Freebies

Goob — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 16:37:19 +0000

There are two random mail-in freebies available in even randomer (it’s a word! Kinda…) states. First up is this free Newcastle Brown pub glass. You’re meant to send in six bottlecaps in order to get it, however the form lists certain states where that’s not necessary:

AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, HI, KY, ME, MN, MO, NC, OH, OR, PA, SD, UT, and WV

If you live in any of those states, then simply send in the form and you should get your glass by September. Next up is Michelob ULTRA’s free golf balls. Again, if you live in any of the states below, then print out their form and mail it in.

AL, AR, CT, HI, KY, MA, ME, MN, MO, NC, NJ, NY, RI, SD, UT, VA, and WV

Chances of me getting both of these while only ever using the pub glass: 100%

[thanks Eve and Florance!]

Two Free Texas Rangers Tickets

Goob — Wed, 05 May 2010 22:43:45 +0000

Any Texas Rangers fans out there? I’ve got one thing to say to you: boooooooo! Hey, stop mocking my horrible ghost impression. I’m not trying to scare you, I’m trying to trash talk.

Of course, I still want you to get two free Texas Rangers tickets. All you have to do is vote for the 2010 All-Star Game at MLB.com and select the Rangers as a “favorite” or “other favorite” Club more than 20 times between now and Thursday, July 1. You’ll then get two free $25 tickets via e-mail the week of July 19.

2010 MLB Freebies

Goob — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 18:41:32 +0000

Baseball’s opening day is less than a week away, which means my ability to focus and stay on point has vanished. The mere thought of baseball makes me giddy and distracts me from more important things like working, eating, and blinking.

Last year there were four or five MLB freebies throughout the season, but it looks like more clubs have stepped up this season. Most of the clubs below are aimed at children, but they often include tickets to a non-prime game, which means you won’t have to watch those Damn Yankees!

Free Brunswick Bowling Coupon

Goob — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 18:49:55 +0000

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Brunswick is offering free bowling coupons that are valid between 2/14 and 2/28. Shoe rentals aren’t included, though if you need somebody to come throw a few gutter balls for you, I’m your man.

Bowling and I do not go together. I have a blast doing it, but I’m the guy who scores under 100 while using bumpers.

Free Vancouver Olympics 2010 Journal

Goob — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 16:20:36 +0000

If you’re as big an Olympic geek as I am, you’ll probably enjoy this free Vancouver Olympics 2010 journal. You can’t actually sign up for it now, but instead reserve a spot to get an e-mial with shipping details on Feb. 1st.

It’s probably the closest I’ll ever come to being an actual Olympian. I thought about spending years training for the Bobsled team, but then I remembered I get winded while walking to my mailbox every afternoon.

Coupon: Free Brunswick Bowling

Goob — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 17:35:56 +0000

These free Brunswick bowling coupons are meant to be given out at Halloween treats, but take my word for it: coupons taste horrible!

I very tentatively checked the “sports” category, I might add.

EDIT: Whoops, I forgot to add a link to their locations page.

Free Issue of Baseball America Magazine

Goob — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 16:54:53 +0000

Even though the site says it’s a free issue of Baseball America magazine, I’ve been getting a free subscription for over a year now. Maybe there was a technical glitch or a clerical error, but there’s only one way to find out of you too will get a free subscription. Call your local psychic!

No wait, that’s not right. I always mess these things up!

Free USA Soccer Stickers

Goob — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 17:34:30 +0000

These free USA soccer stickers are only available to the first 25,000 people, which is just around the threshold for what I’ll post. I plan on using mine to cover up one of the many dents in my truck. In fact, I’ve got so many different stickers on it, most people think I’m part of a stock car racing league. Unfortunately, there aren’t any leagues where the speed limit is 30 MPH, which is what my truck can safely top out at without any parts falling off.

IS: Free Aerie Gym Bag on Thursdays

Goob — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 18:09:31 +0000

Last month, Aerie gave out free Shimmer Mist every Thursday just for stopping in, which quite a few Hiffers took advantage of. Well it turns out that this month, they’ve giving out a free Aerie Gym bag, which retails for $15! The only downside to this is that you’ll have to start going to the gym.

You might want to call ahead and make sure your local store has some left in supply before heading there. Also, make sure you realize that this is only valid on Thursdays, which isn’t until tomorrow.

Free Pittsburgh Pirates Tickets

Goob — Sat, 30 May 2009 18:31:18 +0000

To the 14 Pittsburgh Pirates fans out there, I’ve got great news! You can get free tickets! All you have to do is sign up, pick which game you want to attend, and there will then be one free Infield Grandstand ticket waiting for you at Will Call on the day of the game. They even give you the option of purchasing discounted tickets next to your free seat, if you so choose. Then again, there’s not much stopping your friends from all picking the same game and getting in for free as well. Of course, it’s all a moot argument since nobody wants to go watch the Pirates play in the first place.

Ok, sorry Pirates fans. I love the Mariners, so I follow an equally crappy team. We’re all losers in this equation.
