Hey, It's Free!Best Freebies, Samples, & Daily Deals
Here's a rare eBay 15% off a $25 purchase coupon good for TODAY ONLY through 9pm EST. This is a nice offer if you had your eye on anything recently!
All you have to do is use code PICKSOON at checkout and you'll save 15% with a $100 maximum savings limit. Eligible items exclude warranties and protection plans, as well as items from the Coins & Paper Money, Gift Cards & Coupons, and Real Estate categories.
Checks Unlimited is offering 50% off your entire order of 4+ boxes with code DEAL!
You can also opt for a box of duplicates for only $1 more. If you need checks in bulk, they're also offering your 4th box for free, bringing the cost per box close to $4 each.
My bank charges way more than $5.50 per box. Even Walmart sells them at close to $10 after shipping! This is a great deal if any Hiffers are in the market for new checks.
PayPal members (so basically everybody) can get a free 2 year ShopRunner membership. For those new to the neighborhood, ShopRunner gives you free 2-day shipping at over 100+ participating stores, such as Bloomingdales, NFL.com, Staples, and 1-800-Flowers. An annual membership normally costs $79, so this freebie is valued at $158.
If, for some reason the link above doesn't work, then here's a free 1 year ShopRunner subscription link that has worked for years.
If you're unfamiliar, ShopRunner provides 2-day shipping (similar to Amazon Prime) to over 140+ major stores.
Also, you're welcome for me avoiding the painful “I never run to shop!” joke.
We're 40 days away from Christmas. Yep, you read that correctly. I'm going to highlight a few services and websites over the coming weeks that might make your life easier during the holidays (and beyond), but remember that there are tens of thousands of Hiffers out there. Every service isn't going to be best for you, so I'm only focusing on ones that I use or ones that I think most people would find helpful.
You've probably heard of Amazon Prime. For $79, you can get free two-day shipping on pretty much every Amazon purchase. It's awesome. The problem is when you go to buy something on another site, you're back to paying $6 for shipping that takes a week if you're lucky. And we haven't even got to potential return fees!
Enter ShopRunner is a yearly $79 membership site in the mold of Prime. But instead of being available for just one store, it's works on over 150 participating stores (with dozens more on the way) that have banded together to offer free two-day shipping. A membership gets you free shipping from NewEgg, Toys and Baby-R-Us, MLB and NFL.com, American Eagle, PetSmart and tons more. Even better, you get free shipping on any returns as well. Because, let's be honest, we all occasionally make a regrettable 2am drunk purchase.
Aside from the free shipping for yourself, you can also designate up to four fellow household family members to share your account. And if you need to return something, you get free return shipping as well.
Is this for you? I don't know. I have no idea what your online shopping habits are. However, if you and your family shop even a handful of times online at participating stores, you'll make your money back through saved shipping costs rather quickly. In fact, ShopRunner is so confident you'll love them, they're giving people a free 30 day trial with no strings attached. If you like the service, you can keep it past the trial. If not, you are free to cancel it.
So if you do as much online shopping as myself, give ShopRunner a shot and see how awesome they are.
Amazon's Prime Day is once again upon us. Half their site crashed when it launched this afternoon, so we're off to a roaring success!
I'm not going to try and cover everything you can get on Prime Day. There's simply too many deals to cover and I value my sanity.
So I've put together a few general groups of good Prime Day Deals along with a few hot items I have my eyes on.
Free Honey Nut Cheerios – If you're making an Amazon Fresh, Amazon Pantry, or Amazon Now order, then simply add a family sized box of Honey Nut Cheerios to your basket and it's 💯🆓
Amazon Prime members also get free $5 promo credit wyb a $25 Amazon giftcard. That's literally $5 for free!
A $5 promotional credit will be applied to your account within two days after your qualifying Amazon.com Gift Card purchase is completed or, in the case of physical gift cards, shipped. The promotional credit is only valid towards qualifying items sold by Amazon.com and expires on September 2, 2018.
This pairs perfectly with our daily Kindle eBook roundup list! For less than a dollar, you'll have access to every single free book Amazon offers!
I can't imagine my life without a Fire TV Stick or Chromecast. Watching anything without them seems quaint and out of date.
I love the idea of maybe, potentially, one day going outside. Just thinking about “grass” and and “nature” sends excited shivers down my back!
Realistically, I need something in my Bug Out Bag for water purification and fixes that exact problem.
I love maps. I love picking them out when I travel and have a smattering of them all over my apartment. So it's no surprise this gorgeous Atlas of the World by National Geographic caught my eye.
Last month, I spilled coffee on my lap while rushing to the airport. After screaming the proper amount of obscenities, I pulled over and noticed my old coffee mug had a frayed seal.
Into the trash it went and into my cupboard goes these new Contigo coffee mugs.
I've heard a million good things about Instant Pots and I already use my Crock Pot quite a bit, so I wanted to pull the trigger on this 6-quart Instant Pot for almost 50% off.
Sadly, Amazon kept crashing for me and now the deal is gone. I've got my fingers crossed it comes back before Prime Day is over.
Honestly, if you're in the market for anything, it's worth having a look at Amazon's Prime Day offerings.
Google Express is a shopping platform setup by Google that's partnered with multiple stores, like Walmart, Target, Costco, and more. As of now, their help page breaks it down like this:
It's basically Google's version of saying “we see you” to Amazon.
As for the freebie, new users get $10 off your first Google Express order, as long as you make an order within 30 days, which is nice alone.
However, current and new users alike also get 25% off (max of $100) with code EXTRA25 through 7/17/18.
I noticed this deal because I was in the market for a new Chromecast. I saw the Google Store had them on sale for $25, which enticed me enough to almost checkout.
However, at the same time, my buddy mentioned I should give Google Express a look. He was using his EXTRA25 code to buy two Nintendo Switch games!
Lo and behold, with the EXTRA25 code, I found a Chromecast could be purchased cheaper just by using a different Google shopping service.
$31.50 vs $21 isn't much, but it's an important reminder to always shop around before you make any buys online!
So what are you using your 25% off Google Express code on?
If you're hunting for last minute Mother's Day gifts, take off the camouflage and head over to eBay. Every week they have a ton of gift card deals available via PayPal. After purchasing a discounted gift card, they'll email you redemption code within 24 hours, so you don't have to worry about stuffing your wallet full of cards and ending up like George Costanza.
With this, you can make your next meal, trip, or purchase just a little bit cheaper!
These offers come and go pretty quick. Thus, similar to our now DAILY updated free Kindle eBooks list, I've hired somebody to keep this list updated weekly!
Through March 28, 2018 (11:59 pm, PT), Shutterfly is offering 3 free gifts with promo code 3FREE4U at checkout – all you have to pay is shipping. That means you get to pick any combo of three of the following items, limit 1 per item.
With the value of some of these items, you could get some great deals on Mother's Day, Father's Day, or Easter gifts. One possible gift set would be the following:
To any Hiffers taking advantage of this great deal, what kind of personalized items are you making for 👩 or 👨 or 🐇 or … uh, 🌎?
Here's a crazy valuable Zappos coupon good for $25 off a $50 or more purchase. That's almost 50% off a new pair of shoes with free shipping (and free return shipping if the shoes don't fit.)
After logging into your Zappos account, click on the link above to pull up your unique code on Facebook. Copy the code and enter it at checkout before 4/18/18 and you'll have $25 taken off your order!
With all that money saved, you'll be able to afford shoelaces that fit the entire shoe.
Amazon Prime's unique “buy a box of freebies, then get credit on those items” campaign got a shot in the arm this month with two new boxes to choose from.
Like before, each sample box comes with 5-20 sample-sized products. Boxes cost anywhere from $4.99 – $19.99, but they're “free” since you get the same amount of Amazon credit to buy similar items. So if you buy the Women's Beauty sample box for $9.99, you'd get $9.99 Amazon credit to buy full-sized versions of the beauty items.
Here are all of Amazon's current Sample Boxes. If you see a price in the widget, then Amazon has that sample box in stock!
None. As of 2019, it seems Amazon has sunset this program.
If you were planning to buy any of these items in the future, it makes sense to treat yourself today with a little sample box!
Similar to Target's monthly offer, Walmart also has a seasonal sampler beauty box that just refreshed for Autumn. For only $5 shipped, you get a Walmart beauty box with samples based on the season and your answers to a few basic questions. They all center around your demographics and personal preferences, so it should only take a minute or two to complete.
I'm kinda kidding, not kidding, but those purple, orange, and white teardrop looking things are just part of the graphic design, right? They're not some weird teardrop adhesives people stick to their faces for beauty reasons that I'm only just now discovering, correct? … Okay, cool, yeah, that's what I thought too.
Now, has anybody ordered one of these Walmart beauty boxes before? What'd you think? How do they compare to Target's beauty boxes? Let us know in the comments!
If you're picking up a new summer book on Amazon, use code PRIMEBOOKS17 to score $5 off a $15+ book purchase! The code is valid through 7/12/17 at 11:59pm PT and only applies to physical books, not digital ebooks.
You don't normally see Amazon book coupons! In honor of this rare offer, I'm going to step out of my comfort zone of sci-fi and history. Instead, I'll pick a random book to purchase!
Uh-oh, I think this one's written in French. Boy, this sure did backfire.
Update #2: For July 12 only, code ANDROIDPAY3 will give you $5 off!
If you're headed to the movies this weekend, be sure to buy your tickets through Fandango and score $3 off with code ANDROIDPAY2. While it's an offer promoting Android Pay, you can actually pay with any method, like a credit card. The promo code is valid through 7/12/17.
If you use the code, let us know in the comments what movie you saw and how you liked it!
