Once again it’s time for us to stuff our mailboxes full of freebies! If you don’t already have a secondary email (junk email), you might want to establish one just in case you get hit with 3,000 emails because you’re wanting these little extras. Yes, you need to sign up for all these freebies, but presents in the mail are sweet! I can’t vouch for any of these deals, but I’m taking advantage of them all.

There are two great sites I visit to get these deals. They have a ton of samples to sign up for. However, many of them require you to endure extensive surveys or a purchase (ever so small, but still…a purchase). Since I use a junk email account I don’t want coupons emailed to me. The sample freebies I list will always have easy forms to fill out (maybe a short list of questions I think are appropriate), will not have purchase requirements attached, and will come to your mailbox. I really try to weed out, best I can, offers that require too much personal information, extensive questions, junk offers, etc. I’ll do the work for you if you want to take advantage of these wonderful little freebies.

Here we go!

Nivea for Men
Old Spice Body Wash
Scott Xtreme Rags cleaning wipes
Surfer Gurl t-shirt
Dove shampoo
Start Right Water Conditioner

A little slow this week, but freebies are freebies.

Since I wasn’t in the blogging groove over the weekend, I missed my Round-Up Saturday post and the chance to give some link love. Here are some goodies for you. Hope you enjoy them as much as I have.

This is a recipe for 88c Chocolate Mousse. Mmmmmm. Anything chocolate is worth a link, right? Frugal or not!

I enjoy reading just about anything from Frugal Dad. This is an article on Your Misery Index. Who’s to blame? Food for thought.

Here is an article if you or your children ever face that “I’ve got to have it” mental struggle over stuff. My children may feel deprived of stuff right now (especially electronic stuff), but I’m hoping they’ll thank me when they’re 30.

Ahhh, it was nice to take the weekend off, but now it’s back to deal hunting. I need to wake up and get back in the groove. I just started drinking coffee a couple months ago. Yes, that horrid habit. Is this a day for a second cup? Maybe I should reach for a good B-complex vitamin and kick the coffee habit. I’ve gotten out of that good habit. By the way, women my age (ahem, 43) if you’re napping in the afternoon or struggling not to, try a good B-complex vitamin. It can solve that little problem (FYI). I have GOT to get back to more healthful living. Break over!

Are we having a deal-dud grocery & CVS week or what? If you haven’t been in the frugal mindset for very long, you should be told that there are several holiday weekends where there are few great deals to be had. This is always one of them. The week leading up to the 4th is good, but the weekend of…another story.
