Free Car Trash Bag

Published on Jun 17, 2021 at 1:41 pm · Disclosure

Progressive is giving away free reusable car trash bags. These are little trash bags to fit inside your car.

Awww, I was hoping for a giant car-sized bag so I could dispose of my old vehicle. I got so excited at the thought of watching my garbagemen attempt to throw a 3,000 lb. garbage bag into their truck!

I kept getting an “error” message, but the form finally went through when I changed my email to a generic gmail address. You should get a “Thanks for requesting a bag!” confirmation message after submitting the form.

The fine print says “you are agreeing to receive marketing offers from us,” so make sure to use a freebie email and Google Voice number so you don't get spammed.

Free Febreze Plug Warmer

Published on Jun 7, 2021 at 12:54 pm · Disclosure

If you have a Target or Dollar General nearby, then you can grab a free Febreze Plug Warmer! For Target you'll want to use their $3/1 Circle coupon. Some zip codes have this priced at $2.99, but a few others I entered priced the warmer at $3.19, so you might have to pay a quarter.

Meanwhile, Dollar General is selling these for $3, but they also have a free $3/1 Febreze coupon available which knocks this down to zero.

Both of these freebies expire on 7/3/21.

Finally, if you prefer shopping at Walmart, then you can use this promo to get a free Febreze Plug Warmer by July 26!

Walmart: Free Febreze Plug-In Oil Warmer

Updated on Jun 7, 2021 at 1:12 pm · Disclosure

I know this page looks like Spam Central, but it's a legitimate offer from Procter & Gamble giving away a free Febreze Plug-In at Walmart through 7/26/21. Seriously, who designed this page and why were they only given a $5 budget?

Enter a phone number that can receive texts and you'll be sent a direct link to the coupon. I used my free Google Voice number and it worked just fine. When you click the link, you'll get a unique page with a hidden barcode. Once you're at Walmart and ready to check out, reveal the barcode and scan it from your phone like you would a coupon!

The fine-print says this is only redeemable for a free Febreze Plug-in version 0-03700-0769805.

Free Persil ProClean Laundry Detergent

Published on Jan 28, 2021 at 4:46 pm · Disclosure

You know this free Persil ProClean laundry detergent sample is legit because the guy's wearing a bow tie. Glad to see I'm not the only person who does my laundry in formal wear.

If the sample button isn't showing up for you, try this direct link to Sampler.

Look for the red button that says “Claim 1 FREE Persil OXI Disc Sample” throughout the page. It will then load a Sampler.io page that will ask for 3 or 4 demographic questions, then let you know if you qualify. It seems most people are getting the freebie, even myself! After you're selected, the free detergent should arrive in four weeks.

This freebie will not be available if you've previously claimed it. However, it's still active for new Hiffers!

Free Nikwax Waterproofing Wax for Leather

Updated on Jun 3, 2021 at 11:43 am · Disclosure

This freebie was originally posted on October 13, 2006 and is available every two months! That means you can get this freebie up to six times each year!

I always forget about this free Nikwax Waterproofing Wax for Leather sample sachet that we can request every two months. All you have to do is take a short, five questions quiz. For help, click the “clue” button next to each question and it'll take you to the page where the answer is found. You also get to check each answer, so you can't really fail.

I won't lie – I hate quizzes. They were easily the worst part of school. The threat of a pop quiz always put a timer on my harrowing escapes from inside the gym lockers. I think it's why I get panic attacks simply from a faint whiff of Gold Bond.

This is one of the oldest freebies in continued existence. I can remember requesting Nikwax samples back before HIF was even a glint in my eyes. It was a simpler time back then, when people knew their local butcher and kids player freely throughout the neighborhood. And … wait. I really need to stop falling asleep with the TV tuned to old episodes of Leave It To Beaver.

Free Wowables Reusable Paper Towels

Updated on Sep 26, 2020 at 4:20 pm · Disclosure

Sign up here for a sheet of Wowables reusable paper towels. After submitting the form, you should get a confirmation message saying to expect your freebie in 2 weeks.

I'd argue that every paper towel is reusable, no matter the brand. I reuse the same paper towel until it finally disintegrates. It's probably why my entire apartment is covered in a thick layer of dust and definitely not because I refuse to vacuum.

Free National Parks Clean Up Kit

Updated on Jan 2, 2021 at 4:03 pm · Disclosure

Here's a cool free National Parks clean up kit that is still available to request!

Biodegradable bright green colored bags
Washable bright-colored gloves
Reflective vest
Sunscreen
Purell Hand Sanitiser bottle (Dependent Upon availability)
Purell Hand Sanitizing Wipes (Dependent upon availability)
First Aid Kit

Please try to only request this if you actually intend to use it to clean up your local community! This great freebie should arrive in 1-3 weeks.

2021 Update: This freebie is showing as still available! Has anyone received it since I first posted about it in May 2020? I don't think I did, but then again my memory is as good as a … you know … that little thing, swims in a bowl, whatever it's called.

Free Start with a Sponge Kit

Updated on Feb 3, 2021 at 4:26 pm · Disclosure

Look for the orange “TAKE THE PLEDGE” button at the bottom of the page to request your free Start with a Sponge kit. You have to refer a friend, which means it's time to invite our alter freebie egos! I love Goob Junior, he's so fun.

I'm not 100% certain what comes in this kit, but I'm sure hoping a sponge is involved! Whatever it is should arrive in 7-10 business days.

Free Finish Quantum Lemon Sparkle Detergent

Free Finish Dishwashing Detergent

Updated on Dec 7, 2020 at 12:48 pm · Disclosure

Dishwashing detergent was a popular freebie back in the day, especially from Finish. I have to say the first joke below might be one of my personal favorites from the archives 🙂

They don't offer many freebies now, but they do have some great free coupons on their site.

IT'S TIME! Hiffers, grab your weapons (keyboards, dustbusters, and used baby diapers are all acceptable), stuff a few pillows in your shirt for armor, and mobilize. Today, we invade Finland! I'm sending orders to your regional commanders now and we set sail by midnight!

Say what now? The image above is referring to this free Finish Quantum dishwashing detergent offer and not the overthrow of a Scandinavian country? Oh… False alarm, folks. Forget all about how I had preplanned invasion guides for a friendly country with a democratically elected government.

Here's some free Finish Quantum dishwashing detergent from StartSampling. I don't live in a place with a dishwasher anymore, so I sent the sample to my childhood home. I hope the people living there now don't freak out easily because I put my name as Ghost McHaunterson.

You can request a free Finish dishwashing detergent sample even if you already have in the past since Start Sampling is hosting the offer. It's made even easier given that we know the right answers to their questions. We're basically living Groundhog Day at this point, but without all the fun stuff like electrocuting ourselves in bathtubs or kidnapping small rodents.

Free Tide Laundry Pods

Updated on May 20, 2020 at 10:41 am · Disclosure

When I lived in Australia, I discovered a candy called Pods that I'd moderately describe as the single greatest object I'd every put in my mouth. Every bite was like a waking dream. But promise me you won't try to eat these free Tide pods. Eating them might quickly become a nightmare.

There are half a million samples available (THAT'S HOW YOU DO A FREEBIE, TIDE!), so don't worry if the site is currently bogged down. Also note that it's a Facebook link, however you don't actually have to like them. But since so many of you have a questionable loathing for Facebook, there's a regular form on Tide's website.

[thanks to Katrina and Rory for posting this on our Facebook wall!]

Free Trash Bag & Laundry Detergent

Updated on Dec 7, 2020 at 1:18 pm · Disclosure

Once a staple in the freebie world due to their extremely low cost to ship, free trash bags haven't shown up much beyond 2016. One small tidbit is Sam's Club used to be the trash bag freebie king! No idea why, especially since Walmart and Target were the main freebie sources back then. And yet it was almost always Sam's Club partnering with Glad and other trash bag manufacturers to offer free samples.

While we wait for more to return, here are some of the classic trash bag jokes!

Here are some ~~free Glad ForceFlex OdorShield with Febreeze~~ trash bags for people needing somewhere to put their garbage. Good luck holding it for the next 5-7 weeks.

Interested in a ~~free Glad Odorshield with Febreze~~ trash bag offer. I'm just thankful it's not one of their usual ForceFlex bag offers. The previous time one of those bad boys arrived, it teased me mercilessly until I finally flexed. My friends still laugh at how minuscule my biceps are.

These ~~free Glad ForceFlex trash bags~~ are fantastic at not breaking while you stuff them full of all the dirty dishes your roommate left in the sink. The bags even mask the smell long enough for you to carry them into his room and scatter said dishes all over the floor!

Or I guess you could just put trash in them. Whatever floats your boat.

The selling point of this ~~free ECOgrade photodegradable trash bag~~, other than being free, is supposed to be that it's biodegradable. I foresee two major problems here. First, what happens to the garbage after the bag degrades? Does it start blowing out of landfills? Call me crazy, but we need our trash to morph into flowers over time as well.

Also what if I want to throw away a pile dirt right now? Will it speed up the degrading process and cause the dirt to get all over my kitchen? No, stop asking why I have mounds of dirt in my house. You're focusing on the wrong aspect of this scenario.

Free Shout Color Catcher

Updated on Feb 3, 2021 at 12:31 pm · Disclosure

As you can see, these free Shout Color Catchers had a burst of popular sampling events. They mainly ran from 2010-2012, but I'll continue being on the lookout for the next freebie opportunity.

I once tried to emulate these free Shout Color Catchers by eating a box of crayons. They didn't quite color what I was hoping for.

The old free Shout color catcher offer is back. Or maybe it never went away to begin with. I'm not the most attentive person in the world as my current outfit attests. I have no idea how this skirt got into my wardrobe or how I came to wear it.

This free Shout color catcher looks like a new form. Plus it accepted my info without saying I'd already requested a sample, so that's good enough for me to publish this. I have a pretty low bar when it comes to quality control. I'm the Creed Bratton of freebies.
