On top of this freebie, I was also emailed a 40% off coupon.
That image above is quite enlightening. I had no idea chocolate milk was made out of cooked spinach, grilled chicken, and grapefruit!

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 2024! These free events run each summer for kids 8-12. This year they are doing one day sessions that last for two hours. Kids will explore their creativity through fun, hands-on projects by making movie magic with short videos using the Clips app on iPad.
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 40 years old, so I may not be on the cutting edge of what's cool these days.
I've already included this freebie in our giant list of baby freebies, but I felt this free buybuy BABY goody bag deserved its own dedicated post as well. I attempted to fill this space with a “sellsell BABY” joke, but I received a prohibitive federal injunction order from the Supreme Court of Dad Jokes.
To get this freebie, you need to simply start making a baby registry online, then go to your local buybuy BABY store and pick up your Goody Bag.
You can read more about buybuy BABY's registry freebie here.
Walmart is offering free Pampers Swaddlers in multiple sizes.
Please let me know if this request form stops working. I didn't personally sign up for these since I don't have a baby in the house. Do not listen to any of my ex-girlfriends when they argue otherwise!
Here's a super easy request form giving away a free NUK sensitive baby pacifier! These are a one-piece 100% silicone item with a breast-like nipple that naturally fits baby's palate and helps promote healthy oral development. It's BPA-free and dishwasher-safe.
I have a feeling this freebie won't last long, so be sure to sign up ASAP if you're interested!
The next free Target kids event is on Saturday, October 31, from 10am-1pm. This free Halloween-themed event is a contactless, socially distant trick-or-treating event. Kids are invited to come in costume and trick-or-treat their way through the parking lot. There will be giveaways, treats, and more. What's “and more?”
*🤞 please be gold bars, please be gold bars, please be gold bars.*
To find a participating Target, search here.
P&G is giving away samples of free All Good baby diapers, their new line of diapers. This new line of diapers are super-absorbent, hypoallergenic, and are free of fragrance, parabens, and latex.
By the time I eventually have kids, I’m going to have so many diaper freebies saved up that I won't ever have to buy any. At least that's my plan. I never was great at sketching out my future. Cases in point: my history degree, the fact that I don't presently have kids, this “career.”
Samples should arrive in 2-4 weeks.
Kellogg's Feeding Reading program is back where you can get a free children's book (up to 10!) whenever you purchase a participating Kellogg's product. Products must be purchased by 9/30/20 and you have 30 days after purchase to upload a picture of your receipt. For each UPC uploaded, you'll earn a free book, limited to 10.

Everyone has a part to play—to support parents juggling working from home and homeschooling, we're offering free printouts on anything from homework to coloring pages, and curbside pickup in 90% of our stores
This seems like a great deal for some homemade coloring pages or educational material. Heck, maybe you just need 50 pages of “Don't worry, everything will be fine” printed over and over.
Since the dawn of HIF, major sports teams and their affiliates have offered free kids clubs. These offers are continually changing, but this week I compiled all of them into the post below! I'll continue updating this post going forward as new kids kits are released or updated.
So what do you get with a free kids club? Well, that depends on the team! The most common freebie are fan badges, lanyards, and draw string backpacks. However, some teams offer free tickets to games! How cool is that?!
Paid kids clubs are sadly more plentiful. While some are insanely expensive, I noticed quite a few in the $20-$30 range that came with nice swag and multiple tickets to games. Depending on your family plans to attend game, some of these look to be decent offers where you can save some money with the little ones.
Finally, I've included all the dud teams as well, who offer no free or paid kids club. I've also included instructions on where to look for possible new clubs, since these change with each sports new season!
As always, please share in the comments if you find any new or altered sports kids clubs!
Professional MLB teams are tied for the most free kids clubs (9) out of 30 teams. That's 30% of teams offering offering freebies! They also lead the way in paid kids clubs at 18, leaving only 3 professional baseball teams offering no kids club whatsoever.
Fans ages 15 and younger are eligible for this free club. In addition to a membership card, you win prizes for each game you attend. Kids also received one free Sunday ticket at Chase Field during 2019! While the free tickets didn't happen in 2020 since there were no fans at the stadium, it's safe to guess they'll return in 2021.
This free club is for Braves fans ages 14 and under. They get a free Braves passport and lanyard, opportunity to earn prizes for attending Braves home games, and ongoing invitations to exclusive, Kids Club only events. There's also a paid, upgraded club available with more perks.
Kids get a free lanyard & member card, plus one free ticket per member (up to four members) with the purchase of an adult ticket!
I first wrote about the free White Sox kids club back in 2009 and I love to see they're still going strong! This year, kids get a free personalized ID badge. These give to access a new prize each month at the Kids Club Prize Redemption Kiosk.
The Jr. Dodgers kids club is free, but it doesn't really say what you'll get. But if you're a true blue fan, it doesn't matter – free is free!
The Bucaroos Kids Club is exclusively for Pirates fans 14 & younger. Along with the paid upgrade option, the free club gets you a free Chick-fil-A sandwich or nuggets and a free Pirates ticket voucher! This is the first kids club I've come across that offers free food!
The Compadres Kids is for kids 14 and younger. You earn prizes for attending games, but the site also mentions earning points to redeem for rewards and experiences. Compadres Kids also get access to events like Kids Sunday Signings, Kids Run the Bases and Catch on the Field.
The Mariners toyed with a paid-only kids club in 2020-2022, but as of 2023 it's back to being free for all! Sign up to get a free Mariners Kids Club Hat, official kids club badge and lanyard, and even 1 free Mariners ticket!
Their free plan includes special ticket offers, a free Rays Rookies patch, exclusive experiences and events, and a coupon for the Rays Bay Republic team store.
The Jr. Nats Rookie Membership is available for all fans ages 4-12. It comes with a membership card and lanyard, plus meet and greet opportunities. There's also a paid, upgraded club available with more perks.
While their kids club is paid-only, the Orioles have brought back Kids Cheer Free. This popular program allows fans aged nine and younger to attend games at Oriole Park at Camden Yards free of charge. For each regularly-priced individual game Upper Deck ticket purchased, adults can add up to two additional free Upper Deck tickets.
While the official Twins Kids Club is a paid membership, they send out free Twins fan packs! There's even a field to mark it's for a child, so there may be some free kids swag that comes with this.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find any sort of kids club at all for these final teams. Maybe we should tweet at them and ask why?! If you get a response, be sure to tweet at @heyitsfree and let us know!
They say basketball is the most global American sport. Well, the NBA is doing a good job of exporting freebies! Professional basketball teams have overtaken their baseball counterparts for the most free kids clubs, offering 13 free clubs, up from 9 last year. However, they only have 4 paid clubs, leaving a whopping 13, or 43%, of teams with no kids clubs at all!
Now, for the bad news. The NBA season is currently suspended because of the pandemic! As such, many of the following free kids clubs might be closed for registration. However, they offered a free program for 2019-2020 and in most cases are still taking applications.
Again, these teams decided not to offer a kids club for some reason. Feel free to inquire on Twitter as to why. If you get a response, be sure to tweet at @heyitsfree and let us know!
This one seems like a kids club, but it's just a program for local youth basketball. Almost all NBA teams have these youth leagues, but not many of them try to classify them as a kids club.
They had a free kids club for the 2018-2019 season, but it got folded into a newsletter when quarantine started. I wouldn't be surprised if this came back at a later date through.
Another “youth league pretending to be a kids club” type deals.
The NFL must have gotten the message! While last year they only had 4 free clubs in the league, it's now up to 8 free kids clubs out of 32 teams! That means 25% of the league offers a free kids fan club.
Another 8 (25%) look to have paid clubs for 2020. That leaves 14 (44%!) of teams with no kids club to speak of. Smart business?
It's not entirely a fan club, but children 10 years or younger receive a special autographed picture in the mail from Billy Buffalo on their birthday/
Choose Your Adventure: You have a multi-billion dollar industry rife with long-term safety issues. Do you A: invest in both safety and the next generation of fans by offering kids clubs or B: Ignore kids altogether. If you're the following teams, you picked B!
Ask what's the deal to each team's Twitter. Tag us @heyitsfree and we'll help get an answer!
Uh oh, hockey. Professional hockey teams barely eked out victory over football last year, but have fallen to last place this year. They remain at 5 teams out of 31 (16%) providing free kids clubs for their young fans. That's the lowest percentage of all the major US sports.
Of the remaining clubs, 11 (35%) are paid and 14 (45%) have zilch.
Hockey has a very similar schedule to basketball. Like the NBA, the NHL is also entering their playoffs at time of publication. We should have more info on the 2019-2020 kids clubs later this year.
What the puck?! You know the deal by now. Hit us up @heyitsfree if you need help holding their feet to the ice!
Don't ask how I found all these free minor league baseball kids clubs! When I started looking, my expectations were rather low. I was pleasantly to find seven great free clubs! If you live near any of these towns, be sure to check them out.
Another idea is to search for your favorite college sports teams kids clubs! There are thousands of colleges across the country and some of them are bound to have some awesome free programs! If you find any, please don't be shy and share in the comments!
If you know of any free clubs, kits, or caboodles I missed, please share!
