In Store

Stores and companies offer freebies, samples, food, and all sorts of stuff in-store during the year. Many offers are available only on certain dates and times!

Free Home Depot Kids Workshop

Free Home Depot Kids Workshop

· Disclosure

The next free Kids Workshop at Home Depot has been announced! You normally register ahead of time for these events, but now it's “first come, first serve.” Each local Home Depot is holding their event on different days and times.

October Freebie: Fire Chief's Car – Map your neighborhood or create your own so your fire chief can navigate the streets and race to save the day.

You can find more info on this month's free craft here. The Home Depot Kids Workshop lets all kids keep their craft and receive a free certificate of achievement, free Workshop Apron, and free commemorative pin while supplies last.

These workshops are aimed at kids aged 5-12, though the age range is simply a guide instead of a strict rule. I can also confirm grown adults aged over 30 sometimes have trouble helping their little brother because I'm terrible with tools.

There are only a limited number of spaces available! Find your store, then scroll down and register. When I used to take my little brother, they didn't enforce a strict arrival time. We would often show up around 10am and have plenty of time to get the project finished before noon!

Home Depot Promotional Sales

While you're at the workshop, you might be interested in the latest online and in-store promotions at The Home Depot! Many of these deals are not tied to any event, with up to 75% discounts!

Home Depot also has a cool “Buy of the Day” section, where they offer one-day only sales at huge discounts. It's worth checking out, you never know what they have!

Walmart Freeosk

  • Munk Pack Keto Nut & Seed Bar

Sam's Club Freeosk

  • Instant Savings $2 off Sweet Ginger Boneless Chicken Bites

Free Lowe's Periscope Kit

Free Lowe’s DIY Kid’s Periscope Kit

· Disclosure

Lowe's has figured out how to bring back the popular free kid's projects with DIY kits! You can now register for a free DIY kid's kits to be picked up during the weekend of October 9 and 10.

Your child will love building and playing with this real working Periscope!

Reserved kits can be picked up in-store at our customer service desk on Saturday, October 9th or Sunday, October 10th. If your kit is not picked up by 8 p.m. on Sunday, October 10th, it may be given to a non-registered customer.

To register, click the blue “Find an Event Near You” button under “DIY Kids' Workshops” and locate your nearby Lowe's with your zip code.

For over a decade, the free Lowe's Build & Grow workshop clinics were a staple monthly freebie. Just like the free Home Depot Kids Workshop, you could take your children to Lowe's on certain weekends and come away with a cool, custom built freebie. They shut the program down in 2017, so it's really nice to see them bring it back!


Free JCPenney Kids Zone Event

Free JCPenney Kids Zone Event on October 9

· Disclosure

Mark your calendars! On Saturday, October 9, stop by your local JCPenney between 11am-noon for the next free Kids Zone event. These free events are held by JCPenney on the second Saturday of each month. Just like my laundry cycle!

All necessary materials will be provided and you don't need to signup ahead of time. As a thank you for coming, parents also receive a 10% off coupon valid for that day only. The coupon can be used either in store or online.


Free Museum Day Admission

2021 Free Museum Admission Day 🖼️🏛️

· Disclosure

If you're bored on Saturday, September 18, 2021 and live near one of the thousands of participating museums, then you should take advantage of the annual Free Museum Admission Day!

It's rather impressive how many museums the Smithsonian has convinced to participate, but don't let me influence your opinion. I get impressed easily. I once saw a dog wearing sun glasses then spent 10 minutes begging for his autograph.

You can download your free ticket here and the fine print says each ticket allows entry for two people at participating museums and cultural institutions across the country.

So go! Venture out and soak in the free knowledge, culture, and enlightenment! Let me know how you enjoyed your free experience in the comments.

$10 off ANY $10 Lane Bryant Purchase

· Disclosure

If you're a fan of Lane Bryant, then text DIVA to 552255 to receive a free $10 off any $10+ online purchase valid through September 5.

If you pair this with a clearance or sale item, you can get an item for really cheap. I had a quick look and noticed a few $10 clearance items.

As you can see from the image below, it took less than 2 minutes for me to get my coupon. Once you get yours, you can text STOP to never get any future texts from Lane Bryant. Gee, I wish that worked with a few of my exes!

Lane Bryant Code by Text

Already a Lane Bryant text subscriber from the previous time I posted this freebie? If so, try unsubscribing by texting STOP to 552255. Then wait a few minutes and send DIVA, which should trigger the coupon.

Thanks to Flickr user Mike Mozart for taking the image for this post.


Free-Waffle-House-Waffle

Coupon: Free Waffle House Waffle

· Disclosure

If there's one thing I've learned running HIF, it's that Hiffers love free waffles.

You'll thank me the next time you're out drunk at 5am and realize you have a coupon in your wallet for a free Waffle House waffle. Though to be honest if you're thinking about coupons at the crack of dawn while intoxicated, you deserve some massive props.

The coupon doesn't expire until September 12, 2021 so there's no rush on killing those brain cells.

Also it's worth noting that most (all?) Waffle House's will accept mobile coupons. That means instead of printing the coupon, pulling the coupon up on your mobile browser in the restaurant should work just fine.

Waffle House Free Birthday Food

🥞 While this coupon occasionally expires, the Waffle House free birthday waffle is always active!

Check out the waffle house birthday freebie details here.

Finally, for those of your unfamiliar with the wonder that is Waffle House, please allow one of my personal favorites to enlighten you. For most of his life, Anthony Bourdain had never set foot in a Waffle House. Luckily for us, that injustice was remedied and captured on film before he sadly passed away.

I'm happy these are Coppertop and not Copperhead batteries. I'm 1% Indiana Jones, in that I loathe snakes. And Nazis. And I love history. Hey, look at that, I'm closer to 3%!


Free Micro Center 240gb SSD

Micro Center: Free 240GB SSD

· Disclosure

If you have a local participating Micro Center (full list of 16 states at bottom of coupon page), then request a coupon good for a free 240GB SSD! Similar sized solid state drives usually retail for around $30, so this is a nice little freebie!


Free Comic Book Day 2021

Free Comic Book Day 2021

· Disclosure

Mark your calendars! The 20th annual Free Comic Book Day is slated for Saturday, August 14, 2021. We can get a free comic book that day at participating locations and this year they'll have even more freebies!

Free Comic Book Day 2021 will feature up to fifty free titles available at participating local comic shops. The titles will be comprised of up to twelve gold and thirty-five silver sponsor titles. Titles will be announced to the public in March and will appear in the April 2021 edition of the PREVIEWS catalog.

So mark your calendar and pick up a free issue for the … kids at home? Suuuuuure, let's pretend it's not for you and say it's for the little ones.

It's been years since I've read comic books. I even tried drawing my own once. It didn't have many super heroes, but starred a kid who refused to eat his vegetables, couldn't talk to girls, and looked ridiculous in his baggy jeans. I guess it wasn't so much a comic book as a journal. No wonder Marvel never took me seriously.

To make matters worse, I harshly learned on a recent date that comic books aren't an appropriate answer to “what have I read lately?” Suffice to say, there wasn't a second date.
