Free Holistic Pet Food

Coupon: $5 Eukanuba Dog Food

· Disclosure

Is there a more simultaneous cute and disgusting moment than what's pictured above? Every time my dogs surprise me like that, I react with “awww …. ewwwww.” I've seen what they sniff when we go on walks. I know too much.

Oh yeah, right, back to the freebie I just found, in the form of a free $5 Eukanuba dog food coupon. I always do a double take when I see this brand name since it's so close to my own last name, Eubanks.

You'd think I'd learn to stop going, “wait, there's a dog food named after me?”

You'd be wrong.

I just mentioned to my dog that she's about to get free dog food, but I don't think she was all that excited. Come to think of it, she's always gotten free dog food since I've been paying all these years! Fingers crossed she has a stash of cash hidden under her crate or else I'm out quite a bit of money.


Free Sports Magazines

· Disclosure

I'm not much of an outdoors type: the sun's too bright, all that fresh air is stifling, and who in the world thought it was a good idea to let bugs just roam free in the wild?! That said, there are some decent new magazines available for anybody who enjoys exercise and social contact.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to hop in my giant bubble and get back to becoming the palest human ever.


free always infinity sample

Free Always Infinity Pads

· Disclosure

The free Always Infinity Pads were given away 9 times from 2006-2012, with the bulk of activity coming during 08-09. Aside from popping up once in 2015, I haven't seen these in recent years. As always, if that changes, this will be the first place I update! Until then, here's their free coupons and offers page.

Walmart gave away some of these free Always Infinity pads a few months back, but this is a new link so it should allow you to sign up for a second freebie. I've sat here for ten minutes trying to think of something witty, but I can't focus since my dogs have been barking the entire time. Either they feel threatened by the rustling trees outside or this is the first stage in the inevitable coup d'état I know they're planning.

These free Always Infinity samples from Walmart don't actually always last for infinity, do they? If so, that's a pretty poor business model. I can only imagine the corporate meeting a year from now when the head of sales is explaining to his bosses that they've already sold a product to every consumer in America. He'll probably have a chart behind him with a comically giant red arrow pointing straight down and they'll all think they're doomed.

Then I'll come in and point out that their brand name doesn't have to be taken literally. I'll then grab the chart, flip it around so that the arrow is pointing straight up, and the boardroom will cheer.

The moral of this story is I've always wanted to flip a chart around like they do in the cartoons.

Yeah, yeah, free Always Infinity pads, now let's get to the heart of the matter because I have so many questions from the image above.

  1. How does a pad win a Product of the Year award? Somebody call Putin, I've seen a rigged election before.
  2. Which innovations were added to the pads? Bluetooth?
  3. What products did it beat out?
  4. Who voted for pads?!

I must know.

I almost missed it. I came this close to hitting Publish before casually glancing once last time at the free Always Discreet pads page. That's when it jumped out at me. I have no Earthly idea what I'll find on the other side let alone why it exists, but it's an absolute certainty that I'll call the toll-free “NEED LIVE HELP?!” number on their site. I need live help explaining why they provide live help!

I spent five minutes trying to click the bubbles on this free Always Clean pads site before I realized you couldn't interact with them. This is a prime example of why I never try to trick my cat with a flashlight or laser pointer. It's almost a certainty that she'd figure out a way to flip the tables on me and have me running around the house chasing her ball of yarn.


Mother’s Day Freebies

· Disclosure

Unless otherwise noted, all of the freebies below are available on Sunday, May 10 (Mother's Day!). As always, be sure to call ahead to your local store to make sure they're participating in the freebies.

And of course, if you know of any that I missed, please leave a comment!

Bob Evans – Print out this coupon and get a free slice of pie after 4pm.

Champps – Moms get a free entree with the purchase of an equally valued entree.

El Pollo Loco – In a fabulous PR move, they are offering to honor the KFC coupon that many of us printed but were unable to use thanks to KFC not being prepared to meet the demand. Here's to El Pollo Loco stepping in to fill the free chicken void in our lives.

Ikea – Moms can get a free small breakfast and coffee. No word on whether or not you can eat it while lounging on some of the furniture.

Kodak – First off, shipping is not included in this offer, but if you use the code FREECARD, you can get a free custom photo card worth up to $2.49.

Michael's Kids' Workshop On Saturday, there's a Make it for Mom Bead Event (pretty self-explanatory) while on Sunday, they have a Decorate a Cookie with Mom event. Both are from 1-4pm.

Outback Steakhouse – Bring “mum” in and she can get a free $10 gift certificate good for her next visit.

Smokey Bones – Moms get a free meal (up to $20) with the purchase of an equally valued meal.

T.G.I. Friday's – With the purchase of an entree, mom's get a free mom-sized (what the heck is that?) Brownie Obsession or Spiced Up Cupcake.

Texas Land & Cattle – Mom's can get a coupon good for one free entree (up to $15), which can be redeemed during their next visit.


Coupon: Free KFC Meal

· Disclosure

Not to be outdone by Chick-fil-A, Oprah is giving away a coupon good for two free pieces of KFC chicken, two individual sides, and a biscuit! Plus, the terms say you're limited to four prints of the coupon. Talk about an amazing offer – toss in a water and you've got yourself four free meals.

You have until 9:59pm CDT 5/6/09 to print the coupon. You can then redeem it at any participating KFC location from 5/5/09 to 5/19/09, excluding Mother's Day.

Now come on, who was planning on taking their mom to KFC for her Mother's Day meal?

Update: As many people have commented, KFC is no longer accepting these coupons. They are instead issuing rain-checks.


Free Aveeno Nourish+ Shampoo

· Disclosure

2021 Update: Sadly, while this sample was once a stable in the freebie world, it's since expired. I've collected a few of my favorite jokes I wrote about the free Aveeno Nourish+ shampoo offer from the Freebie Golden Years!

When filling out the form for this free Aveeno shampoo, question 3 asks which of the following types of shampoo you'd like: Moisturize, Revitalize, Volumize, or Sooth. I don't even remotely know which answer I want, which makes me feel like it's one of those trick questions my girlfriend always asks me. Unfortunately, I can't use my trusty Emergency Escape Method here, which is to pretend my shoe is a phone and the President is calling.

In completely unrelated news, my couch doubles as a fantastically comfortable bed!

This is the third free Aveeno Nourish+ shampoo offer to pop up in the last three weeks. I'm not sure which road to take here. On the one hand I could make the “how malnourished is America's hair?” joke. On the other hand I could ask Aveeno if they realize they need to try and sell some of the product instead of just giving it all away. Ugh, this is too hard of a decision, I'm just gonna go take a nap.

I honestly have no idea what people are talking about when they say running this site is easy.

I really wish my mind didn't wander so frequently and make random associations. Take this new free Aveeno Nourish+ shampoo link. Every time I hear their name, I think of vino and long story short, I've been drinking wine since I got up this morning. Let's go streaking!

I know a lot of freebies have been quickly dying recently, but at the same time there are samples like this free Aveeno Nourish+ shampoo that are still kicking. Well, not literally. I'd be quite worried if my shampoo had legs.

You need to scroll down to the green “free sample” button then…well, you should know what to do after that. I can't hold your hand forever! We've been doing this for almost seven years now. I have faith in you!

There have been an unusually high number of limited freebies this week, so it's time we drop in on a few of our tried and true freebies. First up, the ol' free Aveeno Nourish+ shampoo. The plus stands for “plus we're gonna throw in a random mathematical symbol for no apparent reason to drive those of you with OCD a little insane.” Wasn't that nice of them?


Free John Deere Hat

· Disclosure

Looks like this one is as dead as the fox of my new hat…

I have way way too many hats. Why, even though I've seen a few new ones that I really want, I just got a new fox hat right from China that I can't even wear because the weather just warmed up! Of course, I could have brought that one to Wisconsin when my wife and I were there last weekend, but I didn't think of that.

Then again, I do live in the midwest, and that means that this free John Deere hat is fashionable with whatever I wear…


Exclusive HIF Swagbucks Offer

· Disclosure

We've written about Swagbucks quick a few times already (tons of forums posts plus this extensive Swagbucks review I made back in January). After two months of using them as my primary search engine, I'd say I'm even more in love with them than I initially was. I've already earned enough points for two $5 Amazon giftcards and I'm fairly close to a third. How can you not love free money just for searching?!

If you're still sitting on the fence about joining Swagbucks, maybe this will help nudge you in the right direction. Starting today, any new member who signs up can use the code HEYITSFREE to earn two free swag bucks, which will be added to the three swag bucks already offered to new members, thus giving you five swag bucks starting out! For reference, a $5 Amazon giftcard costs 45 swag bucks, so you'll already be 11% of the way to getting your first prize. But that's just one example, they have hundreds of prizes to choose from and dozens of different gift card options.

I usually average around 2-3 swag bucks a day though my normal search habits, which takes me about 15-20 days to earn a prize. Just think how many giftcards you'd have by now had you signed up when I first wrote about Swagbucks in January!

The code expires at midnight PST on Wednesday, so you've got almost two days to sign up and use the code. For people who are already members of Swagbucks, feel free to leave a comment with your opinions on the site. I'm interested in hearing what others think!

Free Printable Coupon Sites

· Disclosure

Below you'll find a list of what I consider to be the best printable coupon sites. In short, you can go to any of the sites below, select the coupons you want, and print them out right at home! Many of these coupons can be printed once per computer, so if you have access to a computer & printer at home, work, and/or school…well, you get the idea 🙂

2023 Update This post was originally published in 2009, but was recently revamped with updated information. It contains all the best free grocery printable coupons without needing to download software.

LOZO – These guys burst onto the scene in the middle of the 2010s and they're still a great place for finding unique, exclusive coupons. Most coupon sources host the printable coupons on their own site, but LOZO typically partners up and directly links to the brand's website where you can either print the coupon or request it sent via the mail.

Coupons.com – They were the hands down #1 leader in printable coupons from 2005-2022. Their selection was gigantic and they updated coupons at least once a month. It wasn't atypical of me to routinely print a dozen or two coupons from them every month and regularly save $20 or more.

However, as of 2024, they've really slowed the pace of coupons. They've also heavily shifted into the mobile coupon space. There's nothing wrong with that, as money saved is still money in your pocket! But there was something nice about being able to print out coupons and carry them in your pocket when you went shopping.

I still recommend them to people looking to save money, but they're just a few steps beneath what they used to be.

Grocery Coupon Network – GCN is another veteran coupon provider still hanging in there! They excel in niche coupons for organic and vegan products, along with regional products, like Palmetto pimento cheese from the southeast. Their selection isn't as large as other sites, but they make up for it by always having exclusive savings that you won't find anywhere else.

So do you have any success stories with using printable coupons? Let us know in the comments!


Free Gain Detergent

· Disclosure

It's been quite some time since we've found a Gain detergent freebie in the while. While we wait for they're glorious return, here are some of the earlier comments we made on their prior samples.

Brace yourself, people. I've got big, nay, huge news. Put a helmet on, sit in a padded chair, and take a few shots of whiskey before you go any further. Okay, are you ready? Alright, this free Gain laundry detergent comes with – wait for it – baking soda! BAKING SODA!

What does that mean? I don't know. Can you put this detergent in your refrigerator to keep it smelling fresh? Sure, go for it. Heck, you might even wonder what's to stop you from buying the regular version of Gain and tossing in a little baking soda on your own. The answer? I'm gonna guess evil pixies.

Freebie-Karma has a way today of telling me what I need to do…

First, it was the IKEA breakfast freebie, telling me that I need to go grab some food. Then the Magic: The Gathering freebie that seemed to be telling me to have some fun, and now this free Gain laundry detergent, which is reminding me of exactly what I have to do today: head to Sam's Club and do the laundry later too.

This is creepy. I'd better get on my daily tasks before I find some freebie that says “Goob, get busy!”


Free Magic: The Gathering Deck

· Disclosure

To say that I was a nerd growing up would imply that I'm no longer a nerd now. And seriously, how much more geeky could I be than writing for a freebie website and listening to podcasts while playing Dungeons and Dragons on Facebook? Yeah, exactly.

Back in November, I happened across a freebie that made me a bit nostalgic… See, in high school, I was a bit more of a nerd than I am now. I played Magic: The Gathering, Star Wars Collectible Card Game, and a vampire collectible card game. Yup, I'd scrounge up my money and buy decks of “collectible cards” that were supposedly worth “money.” And then, I remember the day that Pokemon cards came around, and all of my cards? Were worth about what I paid for one deck. Le sigh.

But now, I don't feel as bad by requesting this free deck of Magic: The Gathering cards. Because after I receive this free deck? I shall rule the world!

Until the new set comes out and totally pwns me… 🙁

Swagbucks: Free Prizes For Searching

· Disclosure

For the past 10+ years, Swagbucks has been one of the leading websites to pay you to make Internet searches. I've personally used them for over a decade now and have probably earned somewhere in the neighborhood of $1500 in Amazon giftcards.

Now before I go any further, let me just say one thing. There's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't be using Swagbucks. If you routinely search for things online via a typical search engine, then you're searching without the possibility of winning something. Any time you search on Google, your odds of winning a prize is 0%. Even if your odds of winning a prize on these two sites are 0.01%, that's better than nothing, no? Plus, given the facts that most people make multiple searches a day and that winning percentages are higher than that small number, you're essentially throwing away money if you're not using either one of these sites.

In addition, I could swear I win more often with Swagbucks. Of course this is highly unscientific and subjective, but while researching this article, I won $2 Swagbucks ($1 Swagbuck and then another 15 minutes later). Now while those can't be redeemed for anything worthwhile on their own, you only need 45 Swagbucks for a $5 Amazon giftcard. Given that you start out with $3 Swagbucks when you sign up, I'm already 11% of the way there after 1 day.

Now, it's not all rainbows and gumdrops with Swagbucks. The biggest drawback is the sponsored ads mixed in with the search results. As some of you might remember, that's what killed Blingo and Winzy many years ago. Both, as luck would have it, actually cut back on the ads mixed in with the search results. Guess they learned their lesson a bit too late when so many people jumped ship. As it stands now, they've got 4 sponsored ads in the search results. That's kind of a pain, but as I type this, right hand to God, I just won another Swagbuck. It's not even noon and I've got $3 Swagbucks under my belt for the day. I can put up with clearly marked sponsored ads in my search results if my winning average stays this high.

So for now, I'm drinking the Swagbucks Flavor Aid. Are you going to make millions? No. Are you going to make hundreds? Doubtful. But is there the opportunity to win enough Swagbucks every month to snag a free giftcard or two? Heck yes. Can the same be said for using Google or Yahoo?

Exactly.
