Today I picked up another free box of Garnier Fructis at Walgreens ($7.99 value) with a voucher from a recent Facebook giveaway (no longer available). I also scored a free box of Veet wax strips by combing a sale price of $2.99 with a $3 off mailed coupon.
In the mail I received a $25.00 Kroger gift card (not pictured) I won in a Facebook giveaway from My Couportiera, Bic pen(still available), Ocean Spray Diet Sparkling can (no longer available), and a Secret natural mineral deodorant (try for Freebie Friday again next month).
Freebies (yesterday’s and today’s): A paperback by Susan Elizabeth Philips from being a member of a winning team in a BookPerk contest, Huggies sample from Sam’s Club (still available!), Beneful sample and issue of Wag World from WalMart, Charm It ice cream charm, Origins High Potency Night-A-Mins sample, Kimtech Touchscreen Cleaning Wipes sample, and a Vera Bradley purse that I won in a giveaway from Teeny’s Freebies.
I went shopping yesterday and snagged these free products for my home. Here’s how I did it:
Today’s freebies in my mailbox: Earbuds from 1saleaday, “End Big Oil Handouts” sticker from League of Conservation Voters, 2 Minteas sample packets, 2 Brick coupons, Huggies diaper from Target, 2 Clinique Turnaround Overnight moisturizer sample packets, Mott’s coupons and a salad clip with coupons (including one free bag of Fresh Express salad) from Vocalpoint.
Another great day for free stuff in the mail:

Screen shots of my 3 wins today from a new Cheer promotion on Facebook:
Unfortunately, there was an error and I couldn’t claim my prizes properly, so I emailed Cheer explaining this. I hope they honor my prizes!
Either way, I’ll be trying again tomorrow-8/31 (today I used Google Chrome, so I probably won’t be using that tomorrow, at least not for this freebie).
After shopping for two free pairs of Old Navy jeans, the first thing I did was check my mail:
2 single-serve boxes of Quaker Oatmeal Squares cereal. One came addressed to me, one to my boyfriend. I signed myself up for one box every day for about two weeks (the rules stated one box per household per day), so I’m excited to see if I’ll actually get some of those as well! (no longer available)
Milani lip gloss that I won in a Facebook giveaway (no longer available)
5 pack of Zebra ball point pens (this was a consolation-prize for participating in a freebie opportunity for a stationary kit, which they ran out of after “receiving more requests than anticipated”.)
Today I went to the mall and picked up 2 free pairs of Old Navy Jeans ($29.50 and $25.00 values, after taking into account the jeans sale at Old Navy) to wear and review with a friend, courtesy of Old Navy and Crowdtap.
Crowdtap is an online community where you can earn rewards for your opinions about a variety of brands and products. Since joining about 3 months ago, I’ve earned $32.50 in rewards money (which I can redeem in the form of Amazon gift card(s), or I can choose to donate some or all of my earnings to the charity of my choice) in addition to these 2 pairs of jeans for me and a friend.
Join Crowdtap today and you’ll get $1 to start. It does take a while to accumulate money (that’s about $10 a month that I earned) and I applied for several other freebie opportunites before being accepted to participate in this one, but taking into account how little energy it took to earn these rewards, I’m definitely benefiting from my involvement in Crowdtap. The site is free and requires only a few minutes of time each day. I think the keys to Crowdtap success are: checking frequently, participating thoroughly in all discussion opportunities, and taking advantage of any offered “quick hits”, which involve merely answering simple multiple-choice questions with your opinions. Doing as many of these as you can will earn you points and allow you to move up levels. The higher you progress the more opportunities you’ll have to earn money (via “web-share challenges”, which are really easy to take part in, especially within the Facebook community).
I am so excited about this freebie, because Old Navy jeans are my favorite jeans. They always seem to fit better than other jeans, partially because I’m 5’11 and it’s not easy to find jeans that are long enough. Most jeans at Old Navy come in “tall” lengths, which is something I really value. And when I can’t find a pair of “tall” jeans, the “regular” length are almost always nice and long on me too! I can’t say enough about how great that is.
I tried on four pairs of jeans, and I was thrilled that all four fit me nicely. Eventually, I settled on the Skinny Mini-Flare jean (love the name!). These jeans are long and snug and flare out (tapered jeans just aren’t a good look on me) and are available in four colors. These jeans are just a little bit stretchy, so they have a really nice fit. Very comfortable, look nice, and I can wear them pretty much anywhere.
Along with my jeans, check out the freebies I got in the mail today. Another great day for freebies!
