Happy Thanksgiving!

As I head out the door to my first of multiple food comas today, I wanted to stop and wish every Hiffer a Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone out there has a fantastic day with friends, family, and feasting.

Wherever you are, whoever you're with, and whatever y'all are doing, I hope it leads to a wonderful day.

And thank you. I think I say it every year, but HIF wouldn't exist without each and every one of you and I never forget that. So seriously, thank you!

  2. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well, Goob! Thank you for helping us with our freebies. It’d be really cool if you did get a free Thanksgiving meal.
    Happy Thanksgiving to everybody else, too!

  5. Dear Goob, your so awesome! don’t ever change! =o)
    thank you for always hooking up the freebies! The other day some “cars” stickers came in that I thought were pull ups but my nephew totally loved them. It made his little day. Happy Holidays to you and yours. ~Charlotte~*

  7. Wow! How great to see the quirky guy who writes the quirky column! I do read your blog almost every day…not for the deals, mainly (althugh I have availed myself of a few), but for the silliness. And may I say – you are a great-looking nut!

  8. Thank you, Goob!
    Nice seeing you and hering your voice. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well. I have to say, I wouldn’t have stuck around as long as I have if your blogging hadn’t been so darn funny. I just had to sign up to the forums after reading what you were saying because you are great.

  9. Thanks, Goob — you have a great website and we appreciate your screening all the scams beforehand. I really enjoyed your message and getting to put a face with a name — REALLY!!

  10. No, Thank Yo Goob for everything you do. Your site is great!! I visit everyday and you made going to the mailbox fun. You know, it’s not just bills now. Have a great holiday and don’t work to hard. Well maybe a little so you can keep the free stuff coming. THANKS.

  11. Goob! Your video was awesome! Happy Belated Thanksgiving to YOU!!! Ever since I found this site (okay not exactly “found” persay…heard about on television is the actuality), it has been a site that I come to several times every single day. I love and appreciate ALL of the freebies, but your sense of humor and the thought that you put into EVERY post that you make is what keeps me coming to the site so many times a day! I can be in the WORST mood and KNOW that all I have to do is read one of your posts to start giggling and I truly appreciate that just as much and honestly…probably moreso than the freebies! So…Thank YOU!

  12. Thanks Goob for all your work on this site. I try to check it every day – often multiple times a day. Much appreciated – the freebies have been great & my friends/family all thank you too.

    Best wishes for your holidays w/ your friends/family or however you celebrate.

  13. I’m new to HIF, reading for about 2 months or so and I have to say that I enjoy every post because… you’re funny! And I can’t say that about a lot of writers on the web. And geez, THANKS so much for all the hookups to free stuff… especially as a college student who can’t spend much, you totally help me out! 😀 God bless you Goob. Happy late Thanksgiving!

    p.s. Disregard the retards who said rude things to you, they are probably getting coal for Christmas! 🙂

  14. Goob: Meitaki ma’ata — that’s Maori for “thanks very much” — I was just looking for a creative way to thank you for all you do for us! Enjoyed your personal message of thanks. I know others have probably relayed this, but it bears repeating: You’ve created something very special for the universe that we travel to every day when we go online and have put a lot of smiles on a lot of faces. What an awesome gift to give! Best wishes for continued success 🙂

  15. Thanks to you for creating this site. I tell all my friends about it and the great freebies to be had, especially friends who have kids or teach them coz there’s always something they can use too. ( ex: the booklets for conserving energy, etc. ) So again, THANK YOU for all you do. You are appreciated !!!!!

  16. Thanks for the kind words, Goob! Your site is great and I have told tons of people about it. All the freebies have really been a lifesaver this past year when money has been tight at my house. Keep up the great work, and I hope you had a wonderful holiday!

  17. I just saw this post, i’m a day late BUT I just wanted to say Happy Holidays & THANK YOU for your site. It has saved me an insane amount of money with freebies & coupons, especially recently with the 50 free holiday cards, that was nearly $50 in itself that we wouldn’t have had a chance to do this year because of a job loss in our household. Keep up your hard work, it is truly appreciated.

  18. Hi Goob, and Happy Belated Thanksgiving to you and yours(just getting back home from visiting in Atlanta). Thank YOU so very much for this site, I anxiously await the mail to see what goodies will be in my box.
    It was so nice to see the face behind the screen…you’re a cutie patootie 🙂

    Peace & Blessings to all of you!

  19. Thanks for taking care of all of us HIFFERS. It was nice to actually “meet” you. This is one of my favorite sites because of your great sense of humor and how you are always looking out for us and you’ve gotta love those freebies! Hey, even my mailman gets a laugh each time he delivers one. And to think that I discovered heyitsfree while waiting for a radio station out of NYC to give a tri-state traffic report. Glad I tuned in a few minutes early to hear another reporter rave about this site. Couldn’t wait to get home to check it out. 🙂

  20. Hey Goob! Thanks so much for all you do for us! It’s a nice pleasure to actually see you too. ….and what about that great voice, ya’ll? I love your site too, come here everyday!

  21. Hey Goob, I love your site. To heck with the bad mouth people, they’re just jealous :). Happy Holidays to you and keep on rocking and (blogging). I just love all the freebies.

  22. Thanks, Goob (and Adam and Jenna), for all the links, coupons and your wonderful sense of humor. I love reading your comments as much as I love getting free stuff. I’ve told my family and friends about your site and have even signed them up to receive things I think they might like, because I know most of them won’t bother to do it themselves.

  23. You’re thanking us? No — Thank YOU! I’ve had so much fun doing this, and have received so many cool things — some are going to be gifts this year….shhh….. You have made receiving USPS mail super-juicy FUN! Every day is a surprise. And you have the most awesome sense of humor. We should write a screenplay together 🙂

  24. Goob — Great video, and the sentiments are much appreciated. We feel so grateful for you, too. Even without the freebies, your blog would be a bright spot in my day! You are exactly how I imagined you to look and sound; that voice should be in the media somewhere — TV or radio! Thank you for all you do to help us save money, as well as to keep us entertained with your wit. My best to you for another great year!

  25. Thank you for the video…. It’s actually nice to see your face and hear you talk/joke in person (well almost in person). It’s amazing how you are thanking us for reading your newsletter/emails and it’s us who should be thanking you for all the wonderful things you have given us… coupons…free items… etc… So let me take this opportunity to say thank YOU!!!! I have told friends/family about your site… how could I not! May God bless you and your family in all you do! Continue helping others and you will receive 10 fold of the blessings!!

    Letty
    God Bless you always!

  26. Hey, Goob, thank YOU! This site is awesome and just about the first thing I look at when I sit down to my computer everyday. I don’t know how many people I’ve told about it and I love all the goodies I’ve gotten in the mail. You deserve any and all success from the work you put into this.

    Now go eat some more leftovers!

  27. NO, THANK YOU! It was kool to see the video and make this site more personable. HIF is one of my daily needs and my friend. I’ve got you on Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, but I check the actually HIF site daily as my fav option. Hope you’re having a great day!

  28. Wow you ARE cute!!! I kept picturing a big fat bald dude in his tidy whiteys sitting in front of the computer. So your video was a nice surprise. Marry me?

  29. Goob,
    I think it’s awesome how much you have grown! I hope you keep on growing in the year to come, I’m very happy to help you since you help me EVERY day! I forward your emails to friends and family and even complete strangers when I see something on your site that would be useful to them 🙂 Thank you soooo much for all that you do! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving! Oh and thanks for the video! In this world of “screens” we often forget that there are ‘real’ people behind them (hard to do with you since you have such a great personality). Julie’s right too it’s great to finally be able to put a face to the name!

  33. Hey Goob,

    Great video!!! You rock on too! So kind and nice of you to wish us faithful readers a great Thanksgiving! For some odd reason (probably our possessed computer – ha!) your newletter has started coming into our deleted files and not our inbox so we’ve been just going to your site each day to not miss out on reading your funny, hilarious and helpful entries! We love your site and your comments too – they really make our day – you could be a stand-up comedian! We’ve loved all of the great freebies, coupons, etc. and all of the time and effort that you put into your site. Sorry we’re late in wishing you a great Thanksgiving; however, we’re very thankful for you too! You can tell how sincere you are – we’re wishing you many blessings for a great holiday season and fantastic 2010 too. Take care and keep up the awesome job! P.S. Don’t pay attention to the folks making derogatory remarks – seems like there always has to be some bad apples trying to spoil the bunch and mood too. P.S.S. We’ve sent your e-mails to our friends and relatives so hope they’ve signed up too. They’ve appreciated everything too. ;<)
