Freebies in my mailbox today
I don't know about you, but I love freebies--especially ones which are really useful. And today's mail certainly brought some useful freebies:
::Free roll of Scott Extra Soft Toilet Paper, Travel Pack of Scott Natural Wipes, and coupons. This freebie is no longer available.
::Free $10 gift card to Starbucks earned through Swagbucks. Go here to read more about Swagbucks and how you can sign up and start earning your own gift cards for free.
::Free book Who Moved My Cheese? from PaperBackSwap. Sign up here for this fun book swapping program. You pay only postage to swap and can also earn free books by referring others!
::Free bottle Logona Shampoo and small sample from SkinBotanica using my free $20 gift card. This gift card offer is no longer available.
Have you gotten any fun freebies recently?
The Scott sample is sold out.

Ehh. Nothing that great. But last week I got a package of freebie wet wipes in the mail...they went straight into our car emergency kit. Saved me $2.00. Yay!

I was super excited about my toilet paper sample (a whole roll)! And the starbucks card is just in time for the deal tomorrow!
Posted by: Sarah | July 20, 2009 at 03:27 PM
I got the Scott sample on Thursday or Friday of last week. The roll is currently in use and even my hubby says it's soft enough to purchase more of it. Haven't used the wet wipes yet but if they are anything like the cottonelle version, we will like those too. The coupons included were also a nice touch!
It was due to this website that I knew about the sample. Thanks Crystal, for continually letting us know about good deals, freebies, and coupons! We know you are busy with your three little ones. Thanks!

If you haven't read Who Moved My Cheese, you will love it. It is a great book and a fast read.

I received the Scott sample on Friday, got a schick intution razor, roller ball pen (delivered FedX today) from officedepotcaddieforacure dot com, and 4 bottles of Cold Blast Venum Bite (dr. pepper promo)!

Free kotex came in today!
Posted by: Tammy | July 20, 2009 at 03:47 PM
I got the scott today too!! :)
Posted by: Dakota | July 20, 2009 at 03:47 PM
i think you should do this more often. :) I love seeing what free stuff people get. It's always a good mail day when the freebies outnumber the bills and junk mail! :)
Posted by: alice | July 20, 2009 at 03:56 PM
Got 3 freebies today.....True Shimmer Chapstick, DiGiorgno Flatbread Melt & Starbucks Ice Cream Coupons.
Life is good....
Posted by: Denise Arcure | July 20, 2009 at 04:43 PM
I got the Scott today, too.
Posted by: Joy | July 20, 2009 at 05:04 PM
Mmm, I just ate my entire pint of free Mocha Frappuchino Starbucks ice cream this afternoon. I love freebies!
Posted by: Rebekah Williams | July 20, 2009 at 05:10 PM
I got three tea bags and a rebate check for $10 for some copier paper I bought for my daughter's school supplies. I generally don't do too many freebies unless I am really going to use them.
Posted by: Michele | July 20, 2009 at 05:11 PM
Who moved my cheese is a good book, I think you'll enjoy it We had to read it at my last job for an HR thing, and it was the least horribly boring part of the things we had to sit through :)
Posted by: Krsitin T. | July 20, 2009 at 05:26 PM
Got that $10 Staples rebate check also! Hoping for the roll of TP - pretty sure I signed up for that :) Also got free tampax, and a coupon good for a free package of Durex 3-in-1. Some days our mail carrier must just loathe us - between all the samples I get, all the textbooks coming in for our son, and my husband's guitar gear.
Posted by: Fairy Dust | July 20, 2009 at 05:36 PM
My t.p. came in the mail today too!
Posted by: Sarah | July 20, 2009 at 05:37 PM
can you imagine what the mail carriers thought of the toilet paper? todays was the second roll I've gotten, I know they must think I am a bit strange.
Posted by: stacy | July 20, 2009 at 05:43 PM
Got the joint juice sample two weeks ago! 30 one serving packs. :)
Posted by: beth | July 20, 2009 at 06:00 PM
Definitely the toilet paper was a highlight. Also, a bunch of rebates, chex mix cereal, and a granola bar from walmart. Can't wait to see the cake cutter from today.
Posted by: Honey | July 20, 2009 at 06:13 PM
I got my toilet paper a few days ago. It was just in time, too...if you know what I mean! ;) I also got my free quart of paint. It was delivered to the place where I work. I haven't gotten the one I ordered to be delivered at home. They may have caught on to my charades!
Posted by: Sandra | July 20, 2009 at 06:26 PM
Be sure and register your starbucks giftcard online. I had an email about a month ago that as a thank you they loaded $5 on my card!! I was shocked when I got the e-mail!
Posted by: Shelley | July 20, 2009 at 06:31 PM
I am also on Paperback Swap (in fact, I have "Cheese" listed right now!) and frequently put kiddie books on Post. Any desire to "buddy" on PBS?
Posted by: Jennifer | July 20, 2009 at 06:43 PM
I got a sample packet of three Yogi teabags (three different flavors) and the best part was it came with a coupon. This is one of my favorite brands of tea. Your shampoo came really fast!! I got an email confirmation that I had ordered my soap (with the $20 gift card) but not that it's been sent yet. They're likely swamped.
Posted by: Andrea | July 20, 2009 at 07:12 PM
Are the "e-Giftcards" mailed to you?? How does that work?
Posted by: Leah | July 20, 2009 at 09:18 PM
I love it when I get free stuff in the mail! I got a free yogurt and candy bar coupon, book from PB swap and a T shirt!
Posted by: Stephanie | July 20, 2009 at 09:21 PM
I got some free teabags, sample of poise, and Kashi coupons!
Posted by: Sarah | July 20, 2009 at 09:23 PM
My coupon for free pint of Starbuck's ice cream, after coming home from buying one from Walmart for $1.50 using my $1 off coupon!!! Love freebies and special deals. You sure got your shampoo quickly. Still waiting on an email that mine has shipped. Have a blessed week.
Posted by: pamela | July 20, 2009 at 09:27 PM
i got the toilet paper too what a suprise to find it was a whole roll and the wipes to. i also got the paint turquise blue.
Posted by: jennyd | July 20, 2009 at 09:42 PM
Wow the paperback swap is a great idea. I pay just postage. How cool is that. Great idea. I'm signing up now!!!!
Posted by: liz | July 20, 2009 at 10:11 PM
Love paperbackswap.com! I've gotten and sent a ton of books that I would never buy, but love to read. The local library doesn't carry most of the historical non-fiction, so I get a lot of things from here.
Posted by: Sara | July 20, 2009 at 10:42 PM
I got my toilet paper today too. Good thing i forgot to get some at the store today. Twice!!! LOL
Posted by: Kate | July 20, 2009 at 10:52 PM
I got the toliet paper and the tea bags. I still have not received my Starbucks ice cream coupon.
Posted by: Nichole | July 21, 2009 at 12:50 AM
Are you going to use your Starbucks gift card to buy yourself a drink and get a free pastry tomorrow?
Posted by: Alyssa | July 21, 2009 at 12:51 AM
I hope my tp comes soon...Today i got my first issue of "O" magazine (with a $1.50 off Tide stain release Q inside), Vaseline lotion from Costco, Rachael Ray's NUTRISH trial size, && Nature Made triple flex pills (2 count), not bad for one day!!! =)
Posted by: jessica | July 21, 2009 at 04:59 AM
P.S. I was excited the Vaseline lotion from Costco was in a 2 oz. size and not the 1 oz... that was a nice surprise!!!
Posted by: jessica | July 21, 2009 at 05:01 AM
I got my Scott samples also, what a great deal! I read Who Moved My Cheese a few years ago, great book for dealing with change!

I got the awesome roll of toilet paper and wipes AND coupons....really nice touch. My free Glidden paint, hopefully will start that project this weekend. I received my free pastry with my wonderful Starbies drink this morning. My free gas card is on it's way in the mail that I won via your blog contest. Of course the free candy bars (I think we've gotten six now!). I can't thank you enough for posting about all the wonderful discounts, coupons and freebies that you do. It's been so fun and rewarding! YOU are a ROCKSTAR! Thank you!!!
Posted by: Toni :O) | July 21, 2009 at 07:52 AM
I got three samples of Kotex pads plus coupons and an advertisement to take a survey for a printable coupon offer
Posted by: Liz Stewart | July 21, 2009 at 08:04 AM
I got my free gliden paint yest. and I love it! I turned in some swagbucks the other day for a $5 amazon gift card. I'd like to get a $5 magazine, but I don't know how to use the gift card. Do I go to amazon or swagbucks or what? Also, will I have to pay tax or anything or will it be completley free? Thanks!
Posted by: Melanie | July 21, 2009 at 08:54 AM
To use your Amazon gift card go to Amazon, log into your account, go to "Your Account", once there scroll down to where it says "Payment" and look under the section that says "Gift Cards" and click on "Apply a Gift Certificate/Card to Your Account ". Once there copy the gift card code from your gift card (your gift card is found in the "My Gift Cards" section under "My Account" at Swagbucks) into the box and click on "Redeem Now". Your gift card will then be in your Amazon account so you can shop with it whenever you want to. A $5 magazine should be free if you use your gift card.
As for freebies I haven't gotten any in the past couple of weeks. But my candle from Apotica has shipped and that ended up being free so hopefully it will turn around soon.

I was so surprised when I got my Scott sample on Saturday! That's basically the best tp sample I've ever gotten.
Posted by: Tiffany | July 21, 2009 at 11:11 AM
I got the free Picture People portrait package (1-8x10, 2-5x7s, 8-wallets) of my boys yesterday! It was such a great promotion that people were calling while I was picking out pictures and there were no more appointments left during the promotion. So glad you posted this one early!
We also got some free individual Kashi cereals (normally $1) from Target with the coupons you mentioned. Since the coupons can be printed several times, we'll probably get a few with each Target trip we make. They're a perfect snack/breakfast for my husband's 13-14 hour work days and perfect for the diaper bag or the car!
Thanks for your commitment to helping us save money Crystal. People are so amazed at how much I can get for so little money. I'm constantly telling people to come check you out! God bless!
