Free Amazon Prime for Students

If you have a college email address (ending in .edu - and yes, I still have one, since I am STILL not done with school!) you can get Amazon Prime FREE for 1 year (which apparently is an $79 value!) - the advantages are that for most things you buy on Amazon, you no longer have to meet the $25 mark to get free shipping - AND you will get upgraded to 2 day shipping - for Free! I already signed up and am getting Free 2 day shipping on something that's $23!

Free Neutrogena Clinical!

One week only! Purchase Neutrogena Clinical (SPF, Night, or Eye version) from your favorite store (Target, perhaps?) and receive a REBATE up to $40 to get it for FREE! You can also print a $5 off coupon Here - add in a $5 off $25 at Rite Aid (although the ones around here only carry the SPF one) or CVS (and use ECB's) to make it an even better deal! Can't wait to try this!

Free Card

The next time you are at Hallmark, make sure to get your Free card from their new kids collection - you don't need a coupon, or to buy anything else, you can just walk in and get the free card, that's what I did!  This offer goes until 3/14 so you still have time - there are 9 different cards to choose from, and although they are supposed to be from parents to their kids, I enjoy giving kids' cards to everyone, so I'm sure you can find one that you like!  You can find out more here

Free Olay Lotion

You have a few more days to purchase 2 Olay Quench Lotions and get BOTH for FREE!  Just purchase the lotions by Jan. 29 and mail in this rebate form by Feb. 12 - if you purchase these at Rite Aid, they will also count towards the P&G rebate 

**Update:  I have heard that you can actually submit 2 rebates, in the same envelope, for a total of 4 FREE LOTIONS!  

Free Disney Tickets!

Last year Emily and I both took advantage of Disney's deal to get into a park Free on your birthday.  This year they are offering a free Disney day if you give a day volunteering.  Last week Rob and I (you can sign your whole family up if you want and they each get a ticket!) delivered sample bouquets and sales kits to local schools and businesses for Hospice of Buffalo's annual flower sale - despite getting lost and one wrong delivery, we had a great time helping such a good cause (my mom currently works for Hospice in Wisconsin and I volunteered at an Ohio Hospice in college) and it was definitely worth the free Disney ticket!  You have to sign up through Disney, you can't just volunteer for whatever you want - but go HERE and see what's available in your area, there are lots of great organizations to help out!  We are planning to use our tickets to go to Disneyland (you can choose any park) when I finally make it back to CA!  Emily's event got cancelled due to all the rain in CA right now, but she is rescheduling and will hopefully do her volunteering soon!  

Random drugstore deals that I never posted...  trying to find receipts!

You know you are obsessed with deals when you get up at 7am on a Sat. to stand in the Buffalo cold to get a free $10 gift card to Dollar General!  For their grand re-opening they also gave away a bag, cup, and Tshirt (shown above).

I entered a contest to win a trip and instead got a mixer set, haha!  I did need a pitcher though!
There's an Ulta in Buffalo now!  For the grand opening they gave away goodie bags!

Universal Studios update

Last year around this time, we won tickets to Universal Studios from a Super Bowl promotion - we ended up using our tickets in October, when it was extremely hot in Florida!

We won 7 day Park Hopper tickets!  Our favorite ride was definitely the new Rip Rockit Roller Coaster - you pick your own music to dance to on the coaster!  

Emily's parents came too, since her dad also won a free ticket!  Her parents got us a great deal on a hotel, with the best free breakfast buffet!

One of my favorite free things to do at any park is take pictures with as many characters as you can find!
We were there during Halloween Horror Nights and decided to check it out (Emily's parents got us a good deal on tickets through FL AAA!) - it was definitely a super scary experience to remember!  
If you go to the Blue Man Group box office (right outside Universal) the day of the show and show a student id you can get 2 tickets for $25 each - these tickets are usually $85!!!) - and if you go back later, you can get 2 more student tickets for your parents!  We had great seats and it was definitely a good time! 

Free Books

If books are more your cup of tea than movies, check out Read It Forward which allows you to request Free copies of books periodically!  Also, if you're still in school, see if your college offers a reading program - last year I picked up The Soloist for free!  

Free Song!

Go here to download a free mp3 from Amazon - you get a $1.29 credit and most songs are $.99 - $1.29.  Hurry though, the offer ends Sept. 6.  I got the new Justin Bieber song, "One Time", which Taylor Swift featured in her latest video blog of course 

School Supplies

Hopefully you have been taking advantage of all the free school/office supplies lately - there have been especially good deals at Staples and CVS - make sure to check limits at CVS, as you can usually get at least 2 of each item per extra care card.  If you are just getting the free stuff to roll your ECBs or find that you have extra items, you can donate supplies at Staples to go to schools/children in need.  Here is some of what I've gotten so far:

Don't forget about your FREE Orange Julius Light Smoothie Today Only!!! I'm planning to get the Berry-Pom Twilight!

Also, tomorrow at Old Navy you can get tank tops for $2 (limit 5) - a great deal!!!

Red Box

Red Box code for a free rental (Today only!) = FM63H7 You can sign up at www.redbox.com to receive a text message the first day of each month for a free rental!

Free Lip Balm

Every day until June 20th Burt's Bees is giving away 1,000 coupons for a FREE lip balm.  You can enter between 9am-Noon, but the giveaway will start at a different time each day.  Today I checked around 10:30 and they had not started yet, so I kept checking and got in around 11:30. Only 1,000 people can sign up each day, so keep checking the site for your chance!  

Free Burt's Bees Lip Balm

I won!

DVDs and $100 giftcard to Hollywood Video that I WON from dealfindingmom's blog, which you should check out here.  Thanks so much!!!  I LOVE TWILIGHT!

random free stuff

Free Aveeno shampoo and conditioner and Dove deodorant (plus a million coupons) that I got in the mail - I think the deodorant is because I belong to Dove Dimensions, which I think you can sign up for online.  And the Aveeno I don't even know, I thought I was signing up for samples and I got full size bottles!  I also got the CVS bag filled with fun stuff that Emily posted a photo of below - for this one I had to get up at midnight and send a text message - oh the random things we do for free stuff!  

FREE Nalgene Bottle

I bought Brita water filters a few weeks ago and there was a deal on it to get a FREE Nalgene water bottle when you paid for shipping. My bottle came in the mail today very exciting!!

More Redbox Deals...

Ok, so after all of Emily's great deals this week, mine are super lame, but it's the best I can do in Puerto Rico!  If you go here and sign up for emails, they will send you a code for a free movie.  Then if you give them your phone number, they text you a new code every Monday for a free movie.  And during March and first week of April they are posting a free movie code on the website each Wednesday.  Gotta love free movie rentals!  

Staples 3/20/09 Emily

Staples had FREE pens after rebate last week!

Lucy 3/20/09 Emily

Thanks to Suzy for telling me about this great deal! I didn't even know there was a Lucy store around me but I ended up finding one in La Jolla. I got two pairs of their workout socks ($14.99 value) for FREE!
