Free Chicken Sandwich

Today's freebie in honor of the commercial that makes me laugh the hardest during the Olympics is for a Free McDonalds Chicken Biscuit.  I'm loving the commercial that features world class athletes saying how early you have to get up in the morning to be in training AND to eat a sandwich laden with fat and nastiness.  I've had one of these and they're ok . . . no where near as good as the Chickfila Chicken Biscuit (which according to my husband will be running a BOGO sort of deal this month in our area).  And oh by the way not so great for your health.  I do NOT give it the CLowe stamp of approval for increasing your level of health.  Just to note, this is not a free freebie.  You must purchase a drink in order to get the free sandwich which is my book is not a true freebie, but if it works for you, go for the gold.

NOTE: You need to click on Get Free Offer and fill out a short form to get the free sandwich.  They won't just hand one to you an it looks like they might give you one of the lunch sandwiches instead if you don't get up pretty early.

Back to School Coffee



So today's back to school freebie is not for your average first grader.  I'm thinking more along the lines of your all nighter pulling college students or maybe the worn out mommy of a first grader.  

I first had Seattle's Best Coffee about 11 years ago when I visited my brother in you guessed it . . . Seattle.  I remember thinking it was a better taste than Starbucks (even though I am a HUGE bucks fan!).  

This sample is linked out from a site called "Start Sampling."  An excellent place where you can find freebies on your own without my help.  I just bring the very best ones to you and save you a little leg work and hopefully provide a brief moment of brevity along with your freebie link.  :)  I've gotten a few of these samples before.  They are a great size to give you a taste of the coffee (makes 2 pots for us) OR wonderful for a gift basket or care package.  

Bottoms up!

Keep It Clean, Folks

Ok folks, here's today's freebie . . . kind of another back to school one.  Everyone needs clean clothes when they go back to school and to get that, why not try out Tide Total Care free from Walmart?  Just a reminder that Walmart's (ever hear Walmart referred to Walmarts?  Drives me nuts!) samples are fantastic, come quickly and always a good bet.  While you're on the Walmart site, check out what else is available - there are usually 5-7 samples.  Look for the tab that says "In Stores Now" and then scroll to Free samples and trials.

Speaking of Back to School, here's a picture of Anna on her first day of first grade!

Back to School Freebie


So today's freebie, in honor of all those students returning to the classroom this week, is a pack of free post-it notes from 3M.  3M usually has great freebies.  They are a little on the smaller size (for instance this one is for a 4 x 6 pack of 10 post its made from recycled paper . . . post-it flashback . . . I just thought of Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion) but they are always first class and occasionally you hit the jackpot.  I once got a little hard backed note book with pen which was way cute!  Stay tuned this week for back to school goodies and teacher freebies.  You too can have stocked cabinets of free office products in your home!

House Par-tay

So my newest fun find on the internet with the potential fun free stuff is www.houseparty.com.  It's a site where you can test market new products by throwing a party in your home.  The products vary from new tv shows before they release to food items like candy or Grey Poupon.  Obviously, anything baby related catches my eye right now and there have been a few of those, too.  In particular Gerber and Pampers have had parties up this summer.  

But I am overjoyed that I was selected to have a House Party for Fisher Price this September.  I get to gather girlfriends together and test some new baby toys for infants aged 6 months - 36 months.  NO purchases, no pressure, just a chance to look at new toys AND the best thing of all is that I get to give away ten smaller toys and keep three large ones for Zoe!  YIPEEE!

Here's one of the larger ones, the Amazing Animals Spinning Zoo.


Next we have the FP Laugh and Learn Fun with Friends Musical Table.  The legs come off and it can sit flat on the floor, too.
Best of all is the Laugh & Learn Smart Bounce Pony which looks way cool - not only a riding toy but interactive with the tv, too!  


Tomorrow, I'll post pics of the toys that I'll be giving away to my guests.  There will also be coupons for great FP products.  Woohoo, it can't come soon enough!  So two thumbs up for houseparty.com from this gal.  Check it out for yourself, but don't forget to invite me to your party if you land one!

Testing 1 . . . 2 . . . 3 . . .


So I'm not sure anyone is really out there any more since I post so infrequently.  I am changing direction and trying to post something small every day.  We'll see if it works!  Anyway many of you know that I am addicted to getting something for nothing . . . I am the self proclaimed Queen of Free!  

Here's the freebie of the day from Walmart.  Walmart has great free samples which come quickly through the mail.  No 4-6 weeks of waiting there!  They change over their products on a consistent basis and you can depend on them not selling or giving your information to spam sites.  Today's freebie is an Orville Redenbacher Popcorn Cake snack.  I can't testify to its nutritional content because I haven't seen the fact label.  Happy Freebie.  By the way, I must take this moment to help you remember that ole Orville hails from Indiana (Brazil, specifically for those fans of the Wabash Valley) so he was a fellow Hoosier.
