Juls and I barreling down a mountain in Spain

In Remembrance of Juls ❤️ 🌈

My amazing, wonderful, gifted, beautiful, and only sister Julianne recently passed away in her sleep. She was my favorite sibling (sorry bros), my guiding light, my moral compass, and my tether to reality. We vibed on the same wavelength immediately from the first day I held her in the hospital. …

Is HIF Missing From Your Facebook Feed?

You know how the old saying goes. Nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes, and Facebook arbitrarily changing their newsfeed algorithm. Facebook recently announced they’re going to yet again change their magic recipes, thus making it harder for people to see updates from pages they like. I …

HIF: Saving Fingers Since 2006

I love getting emails from readers. I might not respond to them in a timely fashion, but I read each and every one that comes across my screen and sometimes they are just too good not to share. Hiffer Carrie sent in this tale that I thought you all would …

Goob Is Cramming Last Summer Into This One

Hey, remember that crappy cancer last summer? I sure do. Thankfully I’m still 100% in remission, but I bring it up because it kind of killed my summer. I spent 95% of it in a hospital chair or hugging a toilet bowl, but I guess it was worth it since, …

I Swear I’m Not Really This Narcissistic

I try to take certain days off. Weekends aren’t a must, but I like taking them off so I have a semblance of balance between work and personal time, like most people. Christmas, Thanksgiving, and 4th of July are always nice free holidays. Then you’ve got Easter, New Years Day, …

Happy Birthday To HIF

I’m bad at remembering things. Dates, things to do, names!, the point of this post. TL;DR I think today was HIF’s anniversary. I registered HeyItsFree.net in May 2005. I was a few months away from graduating with a degree in History and, as Gob Bluth would say, it was clear …

Goob has hair again

So About That Cancer…

This awesome news was originally posted on November 24, 2011 Yep, that’s a month of hair and a week of beard growth. And the eyebrows are back! I’m thankful for two out of those three. I’m a private guy by nature. Heck, my sense of humor is a textbook case …

Thank You

I have a confession to make. I’m not 100% incompetent when it comes to freebies. I know I’ve missed a bit over the past few weeks and I HATE to make excuses, but long story short I’ve got cancer and am in the middle of chemotherapy. I debated announcing this …

Are You Following HIF on Twitter or Facebook?

Occasionally people ask why they should follow HIF’s Twitter or Facebook page. Well, for starters, it’s how some Hiffers were able to get the large Tide sample from last week’s Freebies Received post. Basically I sometimes find smaller offers or freebies that are about to expire. Neither are worth the …
