Amazon Primers Can Support HIF for FREE!
If you're an Amazon Prime member, did you know you can support HIF for FREE each month?
A few years ago, Amazon bought Twitch.tv, a site where millions of people watch others play video games. On Twitch, people who broadcast their video games are allowed to have paying “subscribers,” also known as “subs.” In exchange for $5 a month, subs gain special little perks and their money goes towards supporting their favorite streamers and content creators. I actually wrote about this feature back in 2017.
When Amazon took over, they gave Prime members a free subscription each month! This means anybody who links their Amazon and Twitch accounts are able to give a streamer $5 for free, each month. If you don't use the subscription each month, it simply expires.
This means Amazon Prime members get $60 in value each year and they lose it unless they use it each month!
How to Help HIF for Free
Now I don't actually stream a lot. In fact, I hardly stream at all. But your support here helps me out immeasurably. If you're a Prime member, here's how to easily link your Amazon and Twitch accounts.
- Go to Amazon Gaming.
- Select connect your Twitch account.
- Sign in to your Amazon.com account.
- Sign in to your Twitch account and then select Confirm.
Once you've linked your account, you'll be able to subscribe for free to my channel each month! Here's how, with pictures:
- Head to my Twitch page
- Click the “Subscribe” box with a star (looks like this)
- Click the “Subscribe Free” button next to “Free Subscription with Prime.” (looks like this)
That's it! With those simple steps, you've just done a lot to help support HIF and Goob! THANK YOU!
Free Walgreens 8×10 Photo Print!
It's baccccck! Through March 3 only, you can easily get a free 8×10 photo print at Walgreens with checkout code CHEERS8X10. As always, select in-store pickup and avoid any shipping fees, making this offer completely free.
Many times these Walgreens free photo offers only work within the Walgreens app. If you're having trouble getting it to redeem on a computer, I'd suggest trying the app!
When uploading your photos, make sure to upload in full resolution so your freebies looks crystal clear instead of grainy.
Remember, this is a single 8×10 photo, not 8×10=80 free photos. Somebody actually once angrily emailed me because they felt I didn't spell the freebie out well enough. What am I, a freaking riddle master? I guess instead of saying this is available at Walgreens, I should have said “those things between ceilings and floors that are painted the fourth color of the rainbow.”

Free IHOP Short Stack Pancakes in April
The annual free National Pancake Day at IHOP is normally held in early March. However, in 2021, they're giving away a free stack of buttermilk pancakes during the entire month of April!
Veteran Hiffers will recognize this recurring yearly offer, but here's how it works if you're new to the game.
- Join IHOP's free MyHOP rewards system before March 31.
- Go to a participating IHOP during April.
- Eat one free short stack of pancakes.
That about sums it up. You can search by zip code on their site to make sure your local IHOP is participating before heading out.
In lieu of payment, they'll ask you to make a donation to one of three children's charities: Children's Miracle Network, Shriners Hospitals for Children, or Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. It's not required, but it's a nice thing to do. Besides, we're all nice people here, aren't we?
This freebie also triggers the IHOP free birthday pancakes offer AND you'll get a free pancakes coupon emailed to you just for joining today! I feel like Oprah screaming “you get pancakes, they get pancakes, everybody gets pancakes!”
Free Pro-Keds Stickers
It turns out these free Pro-Keds stickers for sneakers are completely different from these free Keds stickers from January (which are also still available!)
It's really unfair for companies to confuse tired freebie bloggers named Goob like this! I bet they didn't even bring up my mental health in the Zoom meeting where they planned this freebie. It's always “how will this help our business” and “what's a Goob” and “who is that guy in the corner saying Goob over and over” and “somebody please call security.”
Free CDC Prevent Tickborne Diseases Bookmark
If you hadn't guessed, I've been reading lately and needed a new marker – hence the bookmark freebies today 🙂
The CDC still has some free prevent tickborne diseases bookmarks from 2014. These 2×6 inch bookmarks are not only informational, but they're also laminated!
You can request up to 100, but come on, leave some for the next Hiffer behind you. I have a feeling once these are gone, they're gone for good.
Once you add a bookmark to your cart, click the yellow “Check Out” button on the sidebar and fill out your address. You'll get a very tiny “Order Confirmation Number” at the top of the final page.
Free AmeriCorps Heroes Wanted Bookmarks
I recently found these free AmeriCorps Heroes Wanted bookmarks that come in batches of 6 bookmarks per sheet! These bookmarks are designed for recruitment purposes to encourage participation in AmeriCorps programs. I will forever think of their noble, heroic service to humanity when I mark where to stop reading each night.
Add a sheet to your cart, then go through the checkout process. I had to turn off my browser's ad-blocker in order to get the address to go through, otherwise it kept telling me to select a shipping method. Once the order is accepted, you'll get a confirmation message and order number.
Free Sephora Collection Makeup
Sephora is currently giving away 50,000 samples of free Best Skin Ever Foundation. You'll need to first follow Sephora on Instagram, then fill out the form on the page.
While you're at it, you might as well follow HIF on IG 🙂
🍰 Don't sleep on your free birthday makeup from Sephora either!
