Free DKNY Stories Fragrance

Posted on Jul 22, 2018 at 1:20 pm

Here's another Facebook ads offer, this time for a free DKNY Stories fragrance sample. Mobile users might need to use this link instead. Simply scroll down until you see the image above, then click “apply now.”

We've probably got a few more months of these types of freebies before companies learn I've cracked their code 🙂

This ad was meant to display in the United Kingdom only, but the signup form accepts US addresses. It's probably 50/50 whether this comes. But hey, it's Sunday, let's live a little. Ask that cute cashier out. Go check out that new coffee spot around the corner. Sign up for a freebie that may never come. The world is yours!

National Consumer Panel Accepting New Users!

Posted on Jul 21, 2018 at 2:50 pm

Veteran Hiffers may remember the Nielsen Home Scanner I wrote about in 2010 and again in 2013. They've since merged with another company and become the National Consumer Panel.

As luck would have it, I'm a consumer who lives in a nation and loves being on panels, so I was happy to see the NCP is now accepting new applications where you can make money off your normal, everyday purchases!

Upon joining, you're sent a handheld scanner, which is used to scan the barcodes of all your purchases. Each item gives you points, which you redeem for prizes and household items.

Cash Giveaways

Once you become a National Consumer Panel member, if you scan at least one item each week, you'll earn one entry into their Quarterly Sweepstakes where you can win a $500 Visa prepaid card. On top of that, for each week you send NCP purchase information, you earn one entry into NCP's Grand Prix Sweepstakes where you can win $20,000! Every quarter one lucky panel member wins!

In addition, every month, 20 members who sent in purchase information every week of the month will win a Visa prepaid card.

Hiffer tips, tricks, and loot scores

While scanning individual barcodes after a huge shopping trip might sound tedious, Hiffer Theresa sent in this ingenious tip – take the scanner to the store with you! Then all you have to do is scan items as you add them to your cart! Another idea is to scan items slowly instead of all at once. My friend scans a few items each night while watching TV and I've heard of others getting their kids to do all the scanning 🙂

If you're on the fence about joining, I looked through the comments of our previous NCP posts and found some cool stuff Hiffers reported getting!

The prizes you pick do not cost extra and they are nice. I have received dog beds, MP3 player speakers, really nice spoon measures, and similar stuff. – Doreen

I have done this for about 5 years now. I have gotten a couple of really good gifts. A stereo w cd player and a NICE crockpot. Right now I’m saving for a handheld GPS to go geocaching with. – Susan

I've gotten a toaster, phone and answering machine, hedge trimmer, some other stuff – Melissa

I've only redeemed points for a coffee maker so far, but they add up pretty quickly. – Amanda

I’ve gotten, over the years, mixing bowls, air popcorn popper, paper shredder, and even an upright KitchenAid appliance worth more than $200! – Bobbie

I have gotten 3 phone system, toys, deep fry, 2 dvr's, egg cooker and more. – Sherry

Have any Hiffers joined National Consumer Panel over the past few year since they changed from Nielsen. What are your thoughts on it? How long does it take to earn enough points for decent rewards? Let us know in the comments!

Free Bromley’s Mens Razor

Posted on Jul 19, 2018 at 4:06 pm

Multiple Hiffers reported this as dead, but I'm still seeing a signup form. If you are getting a “offer limited to one household” message, try accessing the site on your phone without it being connected to wifi. I literally just signed up my brother on my phone.

You can request a free Bromley's mens razor “while razors and faces last.”

Whoa, who's coming for my face? I've grown rather attached to it.

Their confirmation page both made me laugh and instantly want to become friends with whichever intern built their site.

Zicam Cold Remedy Class Action Settlement

Posted on Jul 19, 2018 at 8:14 am

If you purchased one of the Zicam products below from February 15, 2011 through June 5, 2018, then you may qualify for the Zicam Cold Remedy Class Action Settlement.

RapidMelts Original
RapidMelts Ultra
Oral Mist
Ultra Crystals
Liqui-Lozenges
Lozenges Ultra
Soft Chews
Medicated Fruit Drops
Chewables (the “Products”)

Depending on how the settlement goes, you may receive a cash refund between $6 and $11 per product purchased. You can also file a claim with up to five products without any receipts needed. If you have proof of purchase, then there's no limit on the number of products you can claim.

I posted three Zicam freebies in that window. If any Hiffers used the accompanying coupons to buy any of the Zicam products listed above, be sure to file a claim!

The deadline to file a claim is October 3, 2018.

This lawsuit was started because Zicam was accused of making false and misleading statements about the effectiveness of certain Zicam products in violation of state and federal law. Zicam denies this claim and a proposed settlement has been reached.

I need to point out I'm not a lawyer 💼. That said, DO NOT LIE ON THESE! You are using your signature under penalty of perjury. That means you don't want to lie! However, if you actually bought some of these items, feel free swearing to it and file a claim to get your rebate check!

Free Nordic Care Foot Care Cream

Updated: Jul 19, 2018 · Posted on Jul 18, 2018 at 3:33 pm

They just added a shipping fee, so this died quick.

There are way too many “cares” in this free Nordic Care foot care cream offer. You could say I care too much about the care count.

One even rearranged itself after finding an E. I see you, “cream,” trying to sneak in the end. You're not fooling me!

Free Givenchy Le Rouge Lipstick

Posted on Jul 18, 2018 at 3:14 pm

These new Facebook-ad freebies tend to go fast, so sign up for a free Givenchy Le Rouge lipstick before the offer is pulled!

You know a freebie will be good when the company has “Give” in their name 😀

Look for the image above and click “Sign Up” to make the form appear.

Free Redbox Video Game Rental

Posted on Jul 18, 2018 at 12:40 pm

Through 7/23/18, you can score a free Redbox video game rental at your local kiosk! Simply reserve a game online or use the Redbox mobile app and you'll get a free game rental, up to $3, without using any promo codes. Your free discount will be applied at checkout and you shouldn't pay a dime when you pick up the video game at your local Redbox kiosk.

You won't spend a penny, nickel, or quarter either for that matter. I don't know how the dime commandeered that phrase. They must have amazing PR people.

Make sure you reserve the game ahead of time online or via the app. If you go directly to the kiosk without reserving the game first, then you won't get it for free.

As usual, I've put together a list of free Kindle eBooks. Many of these are available to everybody!

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!

On the Fence About a Kindle?

I was too. A few summers ago, I bought my first Kindle and promptly let it gather dust in my desk for months. Flash forward to January. I get snowed in, the power goes out, and I discover my impulse-buy deep in my desk while hunting for candles. The battery was so strong on it, that it still had a few hours left even though I hadn't charged it since I first bought it.

I haven't put it down since. I'm the only person who somehow gets addicted to an electronic device during a power outage.

Some of my friends complain that reading books and newspapers on an electronic device is sacrilege and I used to agree. However, when I last moved apartments, I realized I owned enough books to fill the Ancient Library of Alexandria. Captain Beatty would fry me alive if he discovered my hoard. I'd probably thank him too. Just the thought of moving them again is giving me a hernia.

Remember, you don't actually have to own a Kindle to read many of these free ebooks. You can download the free Kindle app to your phone, tablet, or computer!

If you found a good book or enjoy these free Kindle eBooks posts, please let me know in the comments!

Free Snapfish 5×7 Softcover Photo Book (+ shipping)

Updated: Jul 18, 2018 · Posted on Jul 17, 2018 at 2:00 pm

Through today only (July 17), you can get a custom free Snapfish 5×7 softcover photo book, which is a $12.99 value, by using code FREEBKJUL at checkout. While the book itself is free, there is a small $3.99 fee for shipping.

These make for cute gifts, but I'm having trouble picking which photos to use since most of mine are blurry and unfocused. I can't tell if I'm looking at pictures of my family or taking a Rorschach test.

Hey, It's Free!
