It's that time of year again. Playoff baseball, pumpkin spice everything, and 2018 calendars like this free African American history calendar.

Dang it, I was kinda hoping for a pumpkin spice calendar.

There are two free “Worth It” motivational posters to choose from, which means you have double the options to hang on your wall and make you feel lazy! I can't wait to shamefully glance at mine right before I take my first bite of a 4am delivery bacon cheeseburger.

Now through April 30, you can request a coupon good for a free quart of Kelly-Moore paint. I plan on using mine to cover all the nicks and scrapes I've put in the walls of my living room. Or should I get the color of my bedroom? Actually, my terrible hallway is the first area my guests are introduced to…

Basically, I've always been an incredibly clumsy person. 24-year-old Goob might have drank a little too much while 34-year-old Goob takes his contacts out before bed then stumbles around running into things for at least an hour.

Virginia Slim is offering a free monogram stationary set to Hiffers aged 21 year and above. The freebie comes with 8 cards and envelopes, but I'm told the cards are completely blank. Oh come on, I have to come up with my own heartfelt notes and wishes? Next you're going to tell me I have to find my own friends and family to send these too.

AveryPRO is offering two different sample kits: HP Indigo Digital Press Products or Dry Toner Digital Press Products. I had no idea which to go with, so I did what I always do when life throws me a curveball. Closed my eyes and blindly picked something!

I'm excited for today's free poetry poster mainly for the alliteration as opposed to being a poetry fan. I'm not even sure I could name a single poet. Robbie Freeze? Amelia Ricketson? I know Edward Ellen Pope is a famous one. Oh yeah, Salt Shizman!

I've updated this post from 2010 to include the correct link and new information! Also, please do not leave your address or account number in the comments below! You need to contact Duke Power directly to request your free lightbulbs.

Duke Energy is giving their customers 15 free CFL lightbulbs, which is nice for Duke Energy customers and irritating for everyone else like me. I tested my luck and called my power company asking where I could pick up free light bulbs. They laughed and made a counter proposal of “pay your bill by tonight or we're shutting off your power.” That's not the type of freebie I was looking for!

In order to claim your free bulbs, “eligible customers can order online or by telephone. For online ordering, go to your Online Services page and visit the “My Products and Services” section. To order by phone, please call 800.943.7585. Customers can check eligibility by entering their account number, nine-digit Social Security number (SSN) OR phone number and last four digits of their SSN.”

Duke Energy Free CFL Lightbulbs Eligibility

• Duke Energy residential electricity service customers with an active account.
• Customers who live in a state where this energy efficiency offer has been approved.
• Customers who have not yet met or exceeded the free bulb (CFL or LED) program bulb limit of 15.

Duke Energy only operates in six states (FL, IN, KY, NC, OH, SC), but they don't list which states contain eligible customers. Thus you'll want to follow the instructions above to see if you qualify for this freebie.
