Free 2019 African American History Calendar

Free 2024 African American History Calendar

It's that time of year again. Cozy sweaters, peppermint candies, and 2024 calendars like this free African American history calendar.

Dang it, I was kinda hoping for a peppermint candy calendar.

Unfortunately, this year they're only allowing South Carolina residents to receive free shipping. Everybody else has to pay for shipping. However, they're also offering a free high-res digital 2022 calendar to download and use.


Free Staples Black White Copies

Staples: 50 Free Black & White Copies

Staples has an offer only available through Saturday, July 4, where you can get 50 free black & white copies with free in-store pickup!

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.


Free TNT Firework Club

Free TNT Fireworks Club

This freebie was originally posted on Dec 2, 2008 (!!!) and is available again.

Talk about a freebie offer that never quits! I first posted this free TNT Fireworks Club offer over a decade ago, but it's still kicking. I've even still got one of their stickers on my old laptop. There's also a poster, magnet, and some tattoos that come with this, but no fireworks unfortunately. I was looking forward to getting a stick of TNT and blowing something up like they do in the cartoons.

Free Merry Christmas Window Cling

Despite the insanely overblown video on their site, I'm a member of the “say whatever you want this time of year” camp. Be it Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or Blorp McGlavin. So if wishing people at your front door a Merry Christmas sounds good to you, sign up for a free Merry Christmas window cling from CBN.

I'll get looking for one of those Blorp stickers next.


Free Headlines that Changed History Poster

Free Headlines That Changed History Poster

Ohhh, I wonder what free “Headlines that Changed History” poster I'll recieve. I've got my eyes set on my birth announcement! At the time, it wasn't so much a headline as a page D17 blurb. But after the illustrious life and career I've managed, I'm all by certain my family's local paper has gone back and edited their archive.

The site says all you need is a valid email and address, so I entered “None” for what school I attend.


free weed alert poster

Free Weed Alert Poster

Some people like to keep track of all the different birds they've seen. Others enjoy marking off all 50 states license plates. However a new hobby has entered the arena: weed spotting!

Just pick up this free weed alert poster, head outside, and prepare to be … well, probably bored looking at weeds.


Free CFL Lightbulbs Duke Energy

15 Free CFL Lightbulbs for Duke Energy Customers

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.


Free Stella Artois Chalice

In order to get this free Stella Artois chalice, first you need to promise never to call it a glass. Because apparently it's not a glass, despite being made out of glass and looking like a glass.

But fine, whatever, I just want another container for my beer. If you do as well, then get ready to sit through a painfully silly and long video shot narrated by a French computer (don’t ask) before you find out if they still have any chalice’s available. If you go through the process and are informed that you don’t qualify for a freebie, kindly let your fellow Hiffers know in the comments below.

Oh, the offer is void in TX. *shrugs*


Host a House Party, Get Free Stuff

Speaking of Coffee-Mate, remember a few months back where you got a coupon and were entered into a chance to host a Coffee-Mate sponsored party?

Hiffer Teresa recently posted on our Facebook page that she was accepted and got all the following for free:

  • Cranium board game
  • A Poker Set
  • 17 coupons for Free Coffee-mate Creamer (Liquid or Nondairy, up to 3.99)
  • 30 Nescafe single coffee packs
  • 25 Coffee-Mate single pack Creamers
  • Cups and Napkins

You might be asking yourself why she got these freebies. It turns out that some companies offer boatloads of freebies in exchange for using them to host a house party. They get to place their products in front of you and your friends while you to have a sponsored party. It's win-win!

Now unfortunately the Coffee-Mate offer is dead. But instead of getting bummed that you missed out, check out HouseParty.com where you can sign up for the following parties:

  • AARP Celebrate Life @ 50 House Party
  • DiGiorno Pizza & Hoops House Party
  • Huggies Pull-Ups House Party
  • Johnsonville Italian Inspiration House Party
  • Philadelphia Creme Cheese Dinnertime Dilemma House Party
  • Singer Sew Very Easy House Party
  • Tapena Wine and Tapas House Party (Only available in CO, DE, FL, GA, MD, MA, NJ, NY, OR and WA.)
  • Zatarain's Brings Mardi Gras Home House Party

Remember, these companies are looking for people who 1) have friends and 2) are outgoing enough to invite them over for a party. In order to screen applicants, they do make you take a survey with around 20 questions. But as long as you're not some hermit with no social skills you'll have a chance at being selected.

So which Hiffers out there have hosted one of these house parties. How did it go and would you ever want to do it again?
