I'm Back!

I've been on hiatus as life got crazy. Life is still crazy, but I miss blogging. I'm going to be doing a few things differently now.

One thing I am NOT changing is the FREE STUFF! I will continue to post only legitimate freebies daily. No scams, no surveys, no referrals. I check each link myself, and verify that it is a real freebie. Most blogs list everything, including scams. This is one place you will find only real free offers.

For awhile I'm going to post articles that I think will be of interest to my readers. I'll do this for a few months and see how you like it.

Thank you for reading, and enjoy the freebies!

Winning Ideas Contest for Teachers

This month we're showing you how thankful we are for your Winning Ideas by offering a free gift to every teacher who posts an idea on the contest message board!

Winning Ideas Contest for Teachers

I'm going to get to work on my ideas today! It will be neat to see what other teachers come up with too.

Castrol Sweepstakes, Scholarship, Coupons, Podcasts

Castrol Oil is currently having some awesome promotions! You will find sweepstakes you can enter to win prizes, a scholarship opportunity, and coupons to save on oil! If your car, van, or truck leaks oil like my van does, the coupon for $6. off a case of oil will come in handy!

Kelloggs Cereal-Freebies and Sweepstakes

At the Kellogg's Website I found a page that lists all their promotions! You can find out what toys are in which cereal boxes, enter a sweepstakes, or learn how to order one of their many mail-in offers. The mail in offers are great- all require proofs of purchase (UPC) from Kellogg's products (but you could get some of these from friends) and though some are free, some require a "postage and handling" fee. Still, it is neat to see you can order a Shrek bowl or straw, a Little Mermaid fleece blanket, Cholesterol test kit, T-Shirt, or even an inflatable Boogie Board! There are lots of offers here, and I think I'm going to start collecting cereal box UPC's!

Free stuff from Walmart!

I don't really like to shop at Walmart. I prefer to support local small businesses. With that said, I must say I don't mind Walmart sending me stuff for free! Their website always has freebies available. They change about every week, and if you look around a bit you may find freebies not advertised on their freebies page. Some freebies I have gotten from Walmart include: laundry soap, dryer sheets, Ziplock sample, and shampoo.

In My Mailbox

This month I have received several free items in my mailbox! I will include links where appropriate so you can order them too!

-Hormel Foods. 3 coupons for $2. off any Hormel Product. I received these coupons after calling to complain about a new product I had purchased. They were microwave meals and the food smelled strongly of plastic, even when taken out of the container to heat. I was unable to eat them because of possible plastic toxicity.

-Quaker Oatmeal. 4 coupons for $4. off any Quaker product. I received these coupons after calling to complain when I found the remains of a bug in my instant oatmeal. Ugh! Great customer service though, and these coupons will come in handy!

-Lewis and Clark Poster set and Study Guide. I ordered this online for the Lewis and Clark unit we are doing in our homeschool. This is an excellent set! About 10 full size, color posters and a neat study guide to help me teach the unit! This is for teachers (homeschool and traditional) and priority is given to grades 5 and 6 teachers. This excellent set didn't cost me a penny!

-Scholastic Magazine Samples. Scholastic produces a bunch of magazines for the classroom on a variety of subjects! The samples are great- I was able to look them over and show my daughter so I know which ones will work best for us in our homeschool.

-K'NEX Free Sample. I ordered a free sample from K'nex for my daughter- it was a small package with K'nex to build a little car! She has already built a couple other things using them. This is a really neat freebie! [Sample offer is over 3/08]

-Greenies Sample. I ordered a free sample from Greenies (my cats love these!). I received Roasted chicken flavor for cats- a fairly good size sample!

Good Freebie Site

As you may know, many so called "freebie" offers are not really free. Some are just plain scams, some require purchase, some tell you to email 10 or more friends and get them to email 10 friends and so on. Some offers require a lengthy survey that never really ends or delivers massive spam to your email. I will never list that type of freebie in this blog. Most freebie sites do list these, but I found one that doesn't! This site lists genuine freebie offers and allows users to comment on the offer. So if someone finds it isn't a real freebie, you will know. The site seems fairly busy-today I have had trouble loading comments but everything I clicked was a good offer. So check this one out if you are a freebie hunter!
