With the calendar change into July, we've officially moved into that back half of the year. And you know what that means – it's the start of 2024 calendar season! 😱
Starting today you can request a free UDig NY 2024 wall calendar! I have last years version hanging in my kitchen and it's huge!
Even though this is from New York, the fine print says they'll mail calendars to addresses within the contiguous United States.
The last day to request calendars is Monday, October 3, 2023.
Thanks to Hiffer Annie for spotting this IAMS Checkup Challenge. This is an offer where IAMS will refund a qualifying routine and/or preventative well-check veterinary visit for one dog or one cat, valued up to $200 maximum, after you buy two 11-lb. bags of dry pet food.
This offer expires July 31, 2022.
Here are the 4 easy steps you'll want to follow in order to get paid:
The vet receipt will need to include treatment details, total amount, date, time & location, and products purchased.
Looks like I'm gonna have to contract diabetes so that I can take full advantage of my free Sharps needle container being offered by Emgality and Eli Lilly. At this rate, freebies truly are going to be the end of me.
To guarantee this freebie arrives, you'll probably want to answer “Yes” to the first “Are you currently taking Emgality” question. Whether or not that statement is truthful is between you and a multi-billion dollar transnational drug company who played a role in almost tripling insulin prices for no reason other than profit.
Mercury Magazines has a new free Entrepreneur magazine subscription offer available. It's been over a year since I've seen this offer!
I sometimes say I'm an entrepreneur when meeting people or making casual chit-chat. It has a nice ring to it. Plus, saying you're a blogger doesn't quite hold people's attention.
Like with all Mercury Mag offers, remember to skip the non-magazine offers presented at the end.
If you don't know what to say on the profession questions, you can always select these basic responses.
I've used those answers for years without any problems.
If you've been a Hiffer for a while, then you probably remember the prevalence of Facebook freebies from 2008-2014. They were everywhere! Well, if you were a Facebook user back then and visited any non-Facebook websites that displayed the Facebook Like button between April 22, 2010 and September 26, 2011, then you may qualify for the Facebook Tracking class action settlement!
This settlement stems from a lawsuit that alleges that Facebook improperly obtained and collected data from Facebook users, but Facebook expressly denies any liability or wrongdoing whatsoever. Oh, I bet they freaking do! However, they've agreed to pay $90 million to resolve these allegations and allow Mark Zuckerberg to get back to updating his internal robot software. How much you'll actually receive in the settlement will depend on how many people file a claim.
For any additional questions, please see their FAQ page.
If you believe you qualify, then you have until September 22, 2022 to file a claim online or via snail mail.
I need to point out I'm not a lawyer 💼. That said, DO NOT LIE ON THESE! You are using your signature under penalty of perjury. That means you don't want to lie! However, if you actually qualify for this settlement, feel free swearing to it and file a claim to get your rebate check!
Here's another signup form still active for some free PETA Teach Kind stickers. This offer looks like a whole sheet of stickers and they don't seem to have any PETA brand markings on them whatsoever.
I think this offer is meant for teacher's only since it asks where you teach at. I said I taught at Goob School, given that I'm only as smart as a 2nd grader.
Given today's terrible SCOTUS ruling, I felt it was appropriate to post this offer for free Plan C stickers and flyers.
Plan C pills are safe, at-home abortion pills that are privately delivered by mail. These medications (Mifepristone and Misoprostol) were approved by the FDA decades ago and are safe through the end of the first trimester. If your state is enacting draconian laws restricting access to this medication, then you can easily circumvent them by following the mail forwarding steps listed at Mayday Health.
I don't talk about it often here, but freebies aren't my only area of expertise. Learning how to vet freebies & the scammers behind fake ones led me down a path where I now work extensively in the online security realm. My work there over the past decade has made it crystal clear how little we can trust big tech companies. There are now many factors you need to consider when getting an abortion in the age of surveillance. Case in point – period tracking apps.
Your app data is not private. If you track your menstruation pattern on an app, then that data is sent to 3rd parties, who then resell that data. If your pattern is disrupted, the app will not only know, but log this discrepancy. That log can then be subpoenaed by law, or even bought on the free market, and can then by used against you in a court of law.
Delete your period tracking apps!
Additionally, this concern extends to social media and search engines. I would not discuss any plans for ordering or taking these pills online. If you decide to Google anything related to abortion (making travel plans to another state, ordering pills, etc) then absolutely make sure to do your search while logged out of any account and while running a VPN, such as ProtonVPN, Private Internet Access, or Mullvad.
If traveling out of state for an abortion, then do not bring your mobile phone with you to the actual clinic! Cell phones constantly ping the nearest cell tower, even when they're in your pocket and not in use. This information that you were in the vicinity of an abortion clinic could then be used against you by an overzealous prosecutor.
Finally, if you'd like to make a donation to abortion care providers, you can donate here and have your money split evenly between 90 support groups around the country. Your donation will go towards providing funding, travel, lodging, and other wrap-around supports that many people are going to need in the coming months.
If there's one thing I've learned from spending tens of thousands of hours studying history, it's that we'll make it through the coming decades together. Stay strong out there, folks. ❤️
For a limited time, get a free 22oz drink at Chipotle! When ordering online or via the app, simply add a fountain drink, lemonade, or aqua fresca to your cart. Then use promo code REALBEV or TRACTOR during checkout to get the free beverage.

[thanks to Freebies 4 Mom for finding this!]
The classic free $20 American Spirit gift certificate arrived via physical mailers for years. However, they discontinued them in 2020 and probably won't bring them back for a while, if ever.
However starting in 2021 and continued as of 2022, their new freebie system went digital on mobile! It's like discovering a brilliant TV show during its third season. The only difference is one kills you through lung cancer and the other though heart disease. Tomatoes, tamatoes!
Here's how to get your free American Spirit gift certificates on a mobile device.
Please note that it must be redeemed within five minutes once selected. So I'd sign up at home, then wait until I'm near the store to redeem the free coupon.
They also give away 4 free butt pouches that you can request here every two weeks!
Mercury Magazines has a new complimentary Women's Health magazine subscription offer. They don't explicitly say this offer is for women only, but I decided to go undercover just to be safe. If anyone asks, I'm Goobina and this dress looks fantastic on me. 🤫 💃
