Free for the Asking ~ 9+ Available Freebies

I am beginning to get back into the swing of things. After several illnesses running amuck in my household, and some great visits from the grandparents we are returning to a normal routine around here. My mailbox freebies include last week's selection, as well as this week's. But, the shopping trips are all from the last couple of days. All but a couple of things were purchased today. And, I'm not with it enough yet to have all of my receipts together, but here are the totals from today's trip.

As always, I will begin the post with my personal freebies for the week, along with links or explanations of anything still available. (If you have already requested the samples in my "mailbox" section, you probably won't be able to request them again, unless I indicate that it has "reset".) Then I will give you the links to my favorite new online freebies of the week.

Free stuff is all around us...all you have to do is ask!

Free For the Asking (Abbreviated) ~ 7 Freebies!

I have had a pretty crazy week. We have been enjoying visits from both sets of grandparents consecutively and my son's State Geography Bee on Friday. I know posts have been scarce this week. I promise to back at it full-force in just a few days.

I do want to give you a rundown of the online freebies that I have run across during my snippets of time at the computer. So, without further adieu...


~Yo Plus is offering a coupon for a FREE 4-pack of yougurt HERE. I have already received this and picked mine up at the store. Free yogurt...YAY!

Free for the Asking ~ 11+ Available Freebies

I actually took a good part of the week off from shopping. I have had 3 cases of stomach virus, a case of double conjunctivitis and an ear infection going at my house. Somehow...I have dodged the bullet myself...for now. I still have some freebies to show off, but the majority of it came from my mailbox. The great part of having a stockpile is that you can scale back without the world coming to an end.

As always, I will begin the post with my personal freebies for the week, along with links or explanations of anything still available. (If you have already requested the samples in my "mailbox" section, you probably won't be able to request them again, unless I indicate that it has "reset".)

Free for the Asking ~ 14+ Available Freebies!

This has been a SWEET week for freebies in the drugstore and grocery games. The deals have just lined up amazingly, and it didn't hurt that I had $18 in catalina dollars and over $20 in Extra Care Bucks to spend from deals last week. I hardly believe all the free stuff in my pics...but my receipts confirm it all. My mailbox hasn't yielded much this week. I'm expecting a rebate that hasn't arrived...and hoping I don't have a freebie thief lurking around. I seriously doubt anyone would be brave enough to get between me and a freebie, though. ~Grin~

As always, I'll start with my freebies for the week, along with links to anything that it still available. Then, I will list the new online freebies that I've come across. Free stuff is all around us...all you have to do is ask!
