Today’s Free Kindle eBooks

Posted on

Free Kindle eBooks

As usual, I've put together a list of free Kindle eBooks. Many of these are available to everybody! For the longest time, I thought they were only for Amazon Prime members, however I discovered anybody can read these free eBooks with any number of free Kindle apps. Be it on your phone, computer, or tablet, you can download a Kindle app and get these books for free!

They're split into different categories and were all free as of this morning, though please make sure they're still free when you go to redeem them since sometimes these promos only last for a few hours / days.

Hopefully, you can find something fun to read. 📚 😃 And as usual, please check the price before you download. These free books are often time-based and will go up in price after a certain amount of time, so before you download, make sure the price is $0.00!

Free Classic eBooks

You can also pick up a few classic books on Amazon for absolutely nothing! Make your 10th grade English teacher happy by finally getting to your summer reading list this year.

Home Depot Sales Discounts

Home Depot Summer Savings

Home Depot Promotional Sales

While you're at the workshop, you might be interested in the latest online and in-store promotions at The Home Depot! Many of these deals are not tied to any event, with up to 75% discounts!

Finally, Home Depot also has a cool “Buy of the Day” section, where they offer one-day only sales at huge discounts. It's worth checking out, you never know what they have!

Free Home Depot Kids Workshop on July 6

Free Home Depot Kids Workshop

Registration is open for the next free Kids Workshop at Home Depot. It's being held on Saturday, July 6 and children will build a free tow truck.

Save the day with a tow truck in this hands-on workshop. Together you and your child can build a custom toy tow truck with an operational boom to rescue model vehicles from ditches and embankments, move disabled vehicles or simply put the model on display. Once your wrecker construction is complete, your child can customize it with paint and stickers.

All kids get to keep their craft, receive a free certificate of achievement, a Workshop Apron, and a commemorative pin while supplies last.

These workshops run from 9am-noon and are aimed at kids aged 5-12, though the age range is simply a guide instead of a strict rule. I can also confirm grown adults aged over 30 sometimes have trouble helping their little brother because I'm terrible with tools.

There are only a limited number of spaces available, so you need to register online ahead of time! Find your store, then scroll down and register. When I used to take my little brother, they didn't enforce a strict arrival time. We would often show up around 10am and have plenty of time to get the project finished before noon!

Free Chick-fil-A for Cow Appreciation Day on July 9

Free Chick-fil-A for Cow Appreciation Day

I know it's hard to keep track of all these important holidays, but Chick-fil-A's 14th annual Cow Appreciation Day will be held on Tuesday, July 9th, from open until 7pm. No, we don't eat cow that day. That's saved for Frog Appreciation Day the following week. I know, it's a complicated system.

What tomorrow's celebration entitles us to is a free Chick-fil-A breakfast, lunch, or dinner entree if you wear any cow attire. One nice perk is that you don't have to go all out like I did 10 years ago. Previous years required you to dress completely like a cow in order to get a free entree, however in recent years you only need to wear any sort of Cow attire!

Q: Can I still redeem the free entrée if I just wear a cow accessory?
A. Customers who arrive wearing any sort of cow apparel will receive one free entrée.

Free Chick-fil-A Entree Dress Cow

They included photos of simple cow apparel to give you an idea. So either climb into your full cow costume or simply wear a white shirt with black dots and say moo – either way, you're getting free food!

If any Hiffers make a cool cow costume and participate in this freebie, we'd love to see pictures! You can share them on our Facebook freebie page, Twitter, or below in the comments 🙂

Free Taco Bell Doritos Loco on June 18

Posted on

free-doritos-locos-taco

This freebie is today from 2-6pm!

First, there were free tacos during the World Series. Next, we got free tacos thanks to the Warriors “stealing” a road victory during the NBA championship. I don't know what genius over at Taco Bell HQ convinced his boss to give away free food during sporting events, but I hear the Underwater Basket Weaving Championship is coming up next month!

In the meantime, we get a free Doritos Loco taco on June 18 from 2-6pm with no purchase necessary! In addition to grabbing this freebie in-store, you'll also be able to order your free taco with the Apple or Android app.

[thanks to everyone who sent this in!]

Free Apple Camp Summer Events

Free Apple Summer Kids Camp

Registration has finally opened for these cool free events!

If you're scrambling for ideas and events to occupy the munchkins this summer, you should check out the annual free Apple Camp returning for 2019! These free events run each summer for kids 8-12. During the three 90-minute sessions, kids will explore their creativity through fun, hands-on projects across four tracks: coding, robotics, moviemaking, and musical storytelling.

Apple Stores across the country are accepting reservations for limited slots. In past years, these slots filled up fast, so I'd sign up today if I were interested.

I first wrote about this freebie back in 2009, so Apple's been doing it a while! It always sounded like a pretty cool activity to me. Then again, I'm 36 years old, so I may not be on the cutting edge of what's cool these days.

Find YOUR Missing, Unclaimed Money!

Claim Free Missing Money

Some Hiffers have already found a few hundred dollars owed to them!

Wow! $113 from an old insurance company! Thanks! 😁

My friends and I have shared various online chats since 2001, but we didn't discover Slack wasn't until 2015. It's now a program I couldn't live without. Goofing off and sharing links throughout the day with each other is so easy, even as we're spread across the globe.

A while back, one of the Slack rooms lit when a buddy of mine found an old link on Reddit about free unclaimed money. The following conversation ensued:

Free Unclaimed Money

We laughed and my buddy proceeded to call his dad to walk him through claiming his $113. It was only later that it struck me. If one of my good friends didn't know about this page on HIF detailing how to search for unclaimed money, then I bet a ton of readers who haven't been with HIF since Day 1 don't know about it either!

So I decided to dust off this old post and republish it in the hopes that more Hiffers could find some free cash!

Wait, Free Money? What's the Catch?

Long story short, there are a few websites where you can search your name for unclaimed money you're entitled to. This could be money from bank errors, back pay from past jobs or employers, money from stocks, or from a myriad of other ways for money to be owed to you.

If the government owes you money and you do not collect it, then it's unclaimed. This also applies to banks, credit unions, utilities, pensions, and stocks, and many other sources.

As you can see, my buddy found $100 for his dad from a tax rebate he was owed from the mid-90s. The most I've ever found for myself was an $8 check from Verizon. But hey, it was something!

Find Unclaimed Money

MissingMoney.com

The easiest unclaimed money search form is MissingMoney.com. It searches multiple databases at once and is the only officially endorsed aggregate site by the NAUPA (National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators).

Simply enter your name and state and click “Go.” You should also search for any state you've previously lived, worked, or owned property in. If a match is found, you can complete a form that confirms your identity

However, as with most “one size fits all” solutions, it works for most people but not all people. The site doesn't work for citizens in CA, CT, DE, GA, HI, KS, OR, PA, WA, or WY. Similarly, even if you live in a participating state, it's no guarantee that MissingMoney.com has your info.

Infographic Unclaimed Money Guide_Tips

That's why your next stop should be this US Government official unclaimed money guide. They breakdown all of the individual sites you can search for unclaimed money.

While the government doesn't have a central website for locating unclaimed money, they do have specific areas to look based on where the money is coming from.

States' Unclaimed Money

  • Search by State – Search your state's listing of unclaimed funds and property.

Unclaimed Back Wages

  • Unpaid Wages – If you think you may be owed back wages from your employer, search the Wage and Hour Division's (WHD's) database of workers for whom it has money waiting to be claimed. WHD is a part of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL).

Life Insurance

  • VA Life Insurance Funds – Search the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for unclaimed insurance funds that are owed to certain current or former policyholders or their beneficiaries. Note: This does not include funds from Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance (SGLI) or Veterans' Group Life Insurance (VGLI) policies from 1965 to the present.

Retirement

Taxes

  • Tax Refunds – The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) may owe you money if your refund was unclaimed or undelivered.

Banking, Investments, and Currency

  • Bank Failures – Search the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for unclaimed funds from failed financial institutions.
  • Credit Union Failures – Find unclaimed deposits from credit unions.
  • SEC Claims Funds – The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lists enforcement cases where a company or person owes investors money.

Mortgages

  • FHA-Insurance Refunds – If you had an FHA-insured mortgage, you may be eligible for a refund from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). To search the HUD database, you will need your FHA case number (three digits, a dash, and the next six digits—for example, 051-456789).

International

  • Foreign Claims – U.S. nationals can find money owed to them from foreign governments after loss of property.

Beware Unclaimed Money Scams

Finally, watch out fir people who pretend to be the government and offer to send you unclaimed money for a fee. These scammers use a variety of tricks to get your attention, but their goal is the same: to get you to send them money. Government agencies will not call you about unclaimed money or assets.

Just remember: if somebody asks you to pay for “free” money, then it's not free!

With those tips, hopefully some Hiffers can find some free cash floating around out there. Get started at MissingMoney.com and good luck!

If you find any missing money for you or a loved one, please share the good news with us!

Free Greeting Card from Send-Say – Perfect for Father’s Day!

Updated: Jun 24, 2019 · Posted on

Free Greeting Card Send-Say

For a limited time, get a free greeting card from Send-Say with no shipping fee. Just use DAD2019 at checkout. There's no limit to which type of free card you get. You can pick from any template to make your free card with no fee.

Send-Say has 20 cute free Father's Day card designs to choose from. If you're looking for a Father's Day card, click “Holiday” then scroll down. The cards seem to be listed chronologically, by holidays.

I just went through the full process and the code still worked for me. I found it best to do the steps in the following order:

  1. Create a free account.
  2. Pick the card you want.
  3. When the customize screen loads, before you customize, add the recipient of your freebie on the left side of the screen.
  4. Finally, customize your card and checkout.

With the free code, you don't even have to enter any credit card info. I love the small things like that with good freebies.

This might have been a little more perfect for Father's Day had I posted it earlier. 😀 The site says “Arrives 2-3 days,” so if you order this today, there's still a chance it arrives with Friday's mail! If your Father's Day card arrives late, just blame it on me. I'm sure he'll understand when you say it's “all Goob's fault.” That sentence just seems right, even if you've never met me!

Thanks for Visiting Hey, It’s Free!
