Free ENTERTAINMENT

 

Being on limited income means you can't have all the things you want. I love Netflix and Discovery plus but I cant afford those things especially when I can put that money towards food and medicine so here are all the free entertainment sites, I use daily,

I love movies and TV we have a few free options here.

1.) Tubi this is one of my favorites they have shows like Unsolved Mysteries and Forensic Files and lots of movies like The Spy Who Dumped Me and Blade. There is also a large horror movie list. I don't really like horror movies, but they have some of the Final Destination movies. anyway, this site is free and commercial free

2.) Roku this is hit or miss for me I don't watch often, they don't have a great selection, but it is free. Nothing great to mention.

3.) YouTube. I love true crime, I watch Bailey Sarian, Stephanie Harlowe and MrBallen, but you would be surprised of what you can find on there A&E has uploaded episodes of Hoarders and other shows. Lifetime uploaded some of their movies TLC has uploaded episodes of Dr Pimple Poper and 90 Day Fiancé. and Discovery has Naked and Afraid. There are commercials but sometimes you get the option to skip them. I watch a lot of YouTube

4.) Crackle. I never watch this they mostly have older tv and movies, not anything in the last decade.it is free with no commercials so if you want to watch Moesha or My Two Dads, you'll find that on Crackle

that's about it for tv and movies. if you have EBT. you can get Amazon Prime for half off monthly which is about $5.99 a month. I don't have EBT so I sometimes pay for prime with gift cards I get from doing surveys. There are other things you can do for free entertainment.

reading. I love to read, Kindle Unlimited is amazing but its $10 a month so I normally just get free books. a lot of self-published authors will have their books listed for free, download the Kindle app for free and nab those books. there are a few sites that will list those free books daily.

1.) freebooksy they list all genres of books. I go for the romance mostly

2.) 7Red Feather Romance. this is a daily email that lists free romance books.

8.) ILOVEVAMPRENOVELS this is another email list this one focuses on supernatural romance.

for music I use either Spotify or Pandora, both are free, and you do listen to commercials, but I can make playlists on Spotify and there are also free online classes you can take from schools like Harvard, Berkley and Oxford. they are free to take but if you want the certificate you do have to pay for that. just think you can say you are Harvard educated. Alison also has free courses and you do get certificates with this one

im sure there are a ton more I don't know about but these are the things i do for entertainment while having no income streams

Freebies You Can Sign Up For Today!

I haven't done one of these in a while so I think it's time to give you a entire list of freebies you can request today!! Some are outright free, some you have to apply to review, but all are free and will require NO MONEY from you. :)

1. Charmin Extender - These come around every few months or so and they are pretty cool. I've even painted some of them. lol. They are just the Toilet rolls for your holder that are extended for the larger rolls. Pretty nice freebie. I have a small stock of them cause you never know when one goes missing. Seriously.

2. Organic Turmeric - I don't know if this is a spice sample or a cosmetic sample. It's a cosmetic company but it doesn't say what the sample actually is. So we are in for a surprise!

3. Liquid Focus - Not sure what it is, but it's liquid and it helps you focus!

4. Lancôme Genifique - Free 7 day sample of their Geneifique moisturizing oil? I think. I'm not sure what it is but it's a beauty product and it's free. Beauty products are one of my favorite things to get for free as they are so expensive and you get to try before dropping $30 OR MORE on one product.

5. Free coupon for a Sunset Pasta Kit! It's a form so no emails required and just take your Free Product Coupon to your local grocery and that's it.

6. Free subscription to Family Circle Magazine!

12. FloraTummys - Get a free 5 day sample of one of three of their products. Two adults and one kid product is listed.

13. Exederm - I think it's a lotion freebie.

14. Sun-Maid Recipe Booklet

15. Desert Harvest Super Strength Aloe Vera Sample - I think this comes in a capsule form.

22. $5 from Poshmark! - If you join Poshmark by clicking my link you get $5 to spend on Poshmark, be sure to understand they do charge shipping. Also, you can follow my own Poshmark store!

23. Enfamil Nutramigen Sample - Baby formula samples are always cool as this stuff is SO expensive.

24. Attends Premier adult diapers - These are always handy and yes, I do keep these in a pile and then give them to someone that uses them or donate them. 

Birthday Freebies and Discounts Part 3

And here we are...as SOON as I posted Part 2 a few more email came in!

If you haven't read part one to my Freebies and Discounts post then you can do that here, and you can read part 2 here. :)

These are all the freebies and discounts I can confirm for 2019. These are the ones my sister received as I signed her up for everything I could find. I do recommend creating your very own birthday email account just for this exercise. lol.

1. Chili's - On 03/22, Reagan received a coupon for a free Dessert of her choice!

2. Jason's Deli - Reagan also received a coupon from Jason's Deli for $5 off her purchase. This one does say proof needs to be shown at time of ordering to receive your reward so make sure you have your ID with you.



Great American Cookie - This can be found in 90% of American Malls! Reagan received a coupon for a Free Cookie Cake Slice with any Drink purchase. This one also says to bring in your ID, so make sure you have that with you. :)

Red Lobster - Sent a coupon for a free dessert with the purchase of 2 Adult Entrees. Maximum value of $9.49.

Captain D's Seafood VIP Rewards - Reagan received a coupon for a free dessert of her choice. I don't see that a purchase is required. She also has a month to redeem this one, she received the coupon on 03/23.

IHOP - Reagan also received an email from IHOP giving her a full stack of their pancakes! This is off ANY of their pancakes (flavored ones!!) She has 2 weeks to redeem it, however it looks like our old address is still in their system and she can only redeem this one in Charlotte. So make sure all your addresses and local stores are up to date!




Sbarro Slice Society - Reagan received a coupon from Sbarro's offering her one slice of pizza for FREE. Super cool! I love free food. Discount applies to one slice of XL NY Pizza or Roman Style Pizza. She has about 2 weeks to use this one. It arrived on 3/26.

Balance Me - This is a UK company so I have no clue why I signed up for this, I don't even remember it. lol. Reagan received an email telling her she would receive a FREE full sized product with a 30£ purchase. Pretty cool. I think the difference in converting is about $22 in US.

Cinnabon - On March 28th (the day before Reagan's birthday) she received a coupon from Cinnabon for a FREE Iced Coffee. She has about two weeks to use this one. Oddly, it says exclusive of alcohol. Is there a Cinnabon that serves alcohol? WHERE AT!? Also you also get a coupon just for signing up, but it's for Cinnabon minis. That's always fun!

CVS takes your birthday very seriously. If you read the first Birthday Freebies post you know wayyy back at the beginning of March Reagan received a digital coupon for a free nail polish and several other coupons that may or may not have been birthday related. As soon as the clock struck midnight signaling March 29th, Reagan received another coupon from CVS. 40% off one single item. Which is cool! I would never say no to savings. She has a week to use this one.

Waffle House Regulars Club - On March 29th, Reagan received a coupon from Waffle House for 1 free classic waffle. So any toppings would be extra. She has about 2 weeks to redeem this one. Another free food item!

Julep Ambassadors Program - She got a digital badge. lol.

Colorscience - This is a beauty care company, and for her birthday they gave Reagan 1000 points which equals out to $5. The company has free shipping on their website but they are SUPER expensive. So even though she received the $5 gift card we won't be using this one sadly.

Dr. Gross Skin Care - Another skin care company! They sent Reagan a coupon code for a free deluxe mini Alpha Beta Exfoliating Moisturizer. Again this company is super expensive so for a free gift with purchase we will have to pass on this one as well. But if you do love to try new companies your birthday is a great time to do it! :D

Kellogg's Family Rewards - They sent Reagan a 100 bonus points which is cool. I like this site for their high value coupons.








Marlboro - Reagan received 1000 points to their new points program. Pretty cool! You basically get points for entering in codes from the packs, like it was YEARS ago. This was not enough to get anything however, but cool to get!



Panera Bread - Reagan received an email explaining she has received a free a free pastry or sweet.
She has about a week to use this one.






Old Orchard Juice - Reagan received an email on her birthday with 3,000 Reward Points -- you can put these points towards a fun Reward Item found at their Rewards Store! We used the reward to purchase the coupon redeemable for any one (1) FREE Old Orchard 64oz bottle OR 12oz frozen juice or drink product. Maximum value: $3.69. So FREE Juice! This comes as a post card within a few weeks of redeeming it.

MyChelle - This is an interesting one. When I signed up for it over two months ago they had FREE shipping on the entire site. That is no longer the case. For her birthday they sent Reagan a coupon code for a free Sun Shield Stick and 500 points. The points bring her to 1000 points and I was thinking awesome, she can get the free sun shield stick AND an item under $10 for free. Well, you can't use both the rewards points and the Free Sun Stick together and on top of that shipping would be $4.95 per order. So..that negates the purpose to me. Probably won't be using these, I am going to email ask if the shipping can be waived on at least the free item they sent her.

The Balm - Reagan received an email saying they have gifted her with 50 Balm Bucks. I checked their website. I didn't see where you could redeem them. I honestly have no clue what they are for. I did spin a wheel when I opened the page and it gave me a 25% off code but even that wouldn't work for whatever we had in the cart. Go figure.

Spongelle - Reagan received 500 points on her birthday.

A reward is available with Points
Free Gift! The free gift is a (1) Free Zodiac Buffer.

Algenist - Reagan received an email with 200 Algenista Rewards Points!

Ole Henriksen - Reagan received a unique coupon code for a free 0.25 oz Truth Serum with any order. This is a deluxe sample size. Their products are a bit pricey but if you shop here this is an amazing deal. :)

Firehouse Subs - Reagan received an email telling her that Firehouse added a FREE Medium Sub reward to your Firehouse Rewards account. She has exactly 7 days to use this reward.

Jersey Mike's Rewards - Reagan received an email from them with a link that generates a one-time coupon for a Free Regular Sub & Fountain Drink! That's an entire free meal! How cool is that?

La Mer - Reagan received a coupon code for a FREE The Treatment Lotion with her next purchase. Y'all...this site was so expensive. The do offer free shipping, gift wrapping and samples on every order but some of their lotions were like $350!!! The cheapest thing I found was a sheet mask for $25 and I'm not even sure this lotion is full sized. Full sized it's $85 on their website. So...I'm not sure on this one yet.

Darphin Paris - Reagan received a coupon code to receive a free duo with any purchase. Again this is another very pricey skin care line. The cheapest thing on their site was $20 for a lip oil.

Estee Lauder - Reagan received a coupon code for a 2 luxury travelers for free with any purchase.









Adam & Eve - ADULTS ONLY on this one. lol. She received an emailed coupon for 50% off any one item and a free Birthday kit (either for her or him) with any purchase of $17. The Birthday Kt supposedly has a value of $50. So that's an interesting one.

Regal Crown Club - Reagan received an email from Regal giving her a free small popcorn! So if she were to go to the movies...free popcorn. :D

Old Navy - Reagan received a unique code on her birthday for 15% off her entire purchase. She has 10 days to use it!

Coola - This is a really cool one! You can read my Coola post here! You join, you get some points and the on your birthday you get another $10 in points. So my sister joined a month ago and made $10 in points and then on her birthday she made another $10. So she had $20 to spend. She decided she wanted this Mineral Liplux Organic Tinted Lip Balm Sunscreen SPF 30 in the color Summer Crush. I know she's going to be taking this with her on her Cruise in October. So this was really cool. This was $18 and she got it free with free shipping!

Cheap (or FREE) CBD Products: Eaze Wellness

About a week ago I signed up for an account with Eaze Wellness, a CBD company that offers various CBD products from bath bombs to Vapes to Lubricants. I have tried drops before and they just had a horrible taste so I was interested in trying a vape.

Last year I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and PTSD along with severe depression and anxiety. I also suffer from a bone disease (Legg-Calve Perthes), Hypertension, back pain as my hips are offset and I retain fluid in my brain. So let's just say my body has decided, if it can have it, I'm going to have it. I've dealt with most of this all of my life and some things are just new to deal with. The medications the doctors put me on are varied. When I went into a mental health facility last summer I was put on 9 different medications and that was just for high blood pressure and the Bipolar disorder. I don't have insurance and these medicines alone would cost a fortune (one was $1200). Not only that but I slept a lot. With that many medications I had no choice. So...I stopped taking everything. Again. I couldn't afford it, I couldn't get refills on the ones that did work and low and behold a week ago I wound up in the emergency room with a blood pressure of 247/133. I'm not joking, it was that high. That is stroke territory.

I've heard so many awesome things about CBD. It's basically marijuana without the hallucinogens. That interests me as I know from experience (yes I inhaled) that the very few times I've tried weed it was amazing for my pain management. So being able to get that effect legally? Sign me up.

 This discreet, all-in-one
vaporizer contains a pure,
non-psychoactive CBD oil blended
with lavender for a soothing experience.
225mg of CBD, 0.5g total.

So back to Eaze Wellness. I signed up for the account. I was given $20 off a $25 purchase and I was excited over that. The only problem was the $5. I don't work at the moment so I had to think if that $5 would be worth the risk of it not working and I sat on my hands. I was given a link to share to friends so they can get the $20 too and not only that but I also get $20 when they place an order! I had one lone friend who placed an order and thankfully I then had $40 to spend. I decided which vape I wanted (the Lavender for Calm) and I threw in a bath balm because...why not? My total was $37.71 but after credit it was FREE for me. And yesterday I got the notice that it had shipped out.

I can't wait until this arrives. I plan on using it for a solid week and then reviewing it. So stay tuned for that. If this is something that also interests you please use my link to create an order, either at the $5 payment or just share with your friends to get more credits and order for free. :)

Let me know what you buy! Have you tried CBD for an extended amount of time? What was your experience?

Sign up for Eaze Wellness HERE.



UPDATE on 4/7: I received my order and I must say...I love the Relax CBD vapor. It really does help. I love the fact that the little vape does not take batteries at all. It is disposable. It was inspected and has a sticker with the findings, it says I have 150 uses in it. I have not tried the bath bomb yet, but maybe soon. I will keep you guys updated with this as I continue to use it.

Birthday Freebies & Discounts Part 2

Andddd we're back! Now that it's mid-month I'm seeing more freebies and discounts start to roll in. This is pretty exciting. Also some items have arrived! My sister, Reagan, who celebrates her birthday in March has received everything from Makeup to Jewelry for her birthday. This is so fun!

If you haven't read Part 1 to our Birthday Freebies and Discounts, then please do so here!

This post is getting a little long so I'm stay tuned if there is a Part 3!!

Here are some MORE things she has received.

1. Ulta-mate Rewards - This freebie changes all the time. Reagan's email said she would receive a deluxe sample of It Confidence in a Cream. This is really cool, but she did just receive a full size of this in her March BoxyCharm. We will be picking it up in Johnson City as we have to go there anyway to pick up her Torrid order and use her $5 Hot Topic reward. We have a few things we are going to be redeeming in the mall there. Email received on March 15th.



2. Arby's - Arby's sent Reagan a coupon for a FREE sandwich with the purchase of any drink. This is a pretty good one as their sandwiches can get pricey. It looks like this has select sandwiches you can choose from. Also if you sign up today you get that same coupon just for singing up!

3. Olive Garden - On March 15th, Reagan received a coupon for a free dessert from Olive Garden! This one also has a coupon for you to use just for signing up. A free dessert or appetizer with 2 entree purchase. So make sure to sign up for this one!

4. Jane Iredale Beauty Rewards - Reagan received a coupon code for 20% off her purchase. We are not going to be using this one. lol.

5. World Market Rewards - Reagan received a coupon code for 15% off her purchase. Another one we probably won't be using.

6. Red Robin - On 03/19, Reagan received a coupon for a FREE burger from Red Robin! This is a very nice freebie, a free meal is always welcome!

7. Texas Roadhouse - On 03/19, Reagan also received a coupon from Texas Roadhouse for a free Appetizer or Sidekick of Ribs! More free food! I'm not seeing any required purchases to get this one either. It looks to be completely free. The other day we got a coupon from them for the kids, so it's very cool they do both adults and children. Just for signing up for their club you also get a free appetizer as well!


8. Maggiano's Little Italy - And on 03/19, Reagan also received a coupon from Maggianio's for $10 off her order! Now this one does require additional purchases. Minimum purchase of $30 required. It's also nice to to know that just for signing up for this one, you will receive a coupon for $10 off your purchase as well. So that's not too bad if you enjoy their food or live near one.

Golden Corral Gold Club - This was a twofer! Reagan AND Tristan both received an emailed coupon for a Free buffet with the Adult purchase of a buffet. That's about a $10-$14 value depending on when you go. Email was received on 03/22.



Hash House A Go Go - This is a very popular restaurant. They serve gigantic portions. Very popular in Las Vegas. They have a birthday freebie! I haven't seen this one on any other lists, it was found quite by accident honestly. Free DINNER entree of equal or lesser value with purchase of DINNER entree. Good only at Dinner. To sign up for this one you go to the main page and scroll down until you see the form for their Farm Club. Reagan received her coupon on 3/22.

Denny's Rewards - This one is a bit different. ON YOUR BIRTHDAY, you show up with a valid ID showing your birthday and you get to build your own Grand Slam Breakfast. For kids 11-18, if they do not have a valid ID a parent must be present to validate that. I'm guessing verbal validation. lol.

Ruby Tuesdays - On 03/22, Reagan received a coupon for a FREE Burger or Garden Bar up to $11! I love free food! And when you join, you get a coupon for a FREE appetizer.

The Macaroni Grill - On 03/22, Reagan also received a coupon for a FREE dessert with the purchase of an Entree from Macaroni Grill. This one doesn't expire for a month! When you join their Newsletter you get a coupon for $5 off your next purchase.

Church's Chicken - On 03/22, Reagan received a coupon for a FREE leg, thigh or tender strip of her choice. This one does not appear to require an additional purchase, so a completely free piece of chicken!

Bojangle's E-Club - Reagan received a coupon for a free Bo-Berry Biscuit with any purchase. So get your coffee, get your biscuit and breakfast is done! Pretty cool little freebie. I don't know how much a Bo-Berry biscuit is but I'm assuming it's a $1 or $2. When you sign up for their E-Club you do get a coupon for a FREE 1/2 gallon of their legendary ice tea with purchase.

Marie Callender's - Reagan received a coupon for a free slice of pie with an Entree purchase. For whatever reason this coupon was only valid in Las Vegas? Go figure on that. lol.

Sonny's BBQ - This is a nice one! Reagan received a coupon for FREE Big Deal Combo! No other purchase is necessary with this one. FREE MEAL! Score! Valid for about 2 weeks after coupon is received and she received this one on 03/22.







For the Kids:

Texas Roadhouse - On 03/14, we received a coupon for a FREE kid's meal with the purchase of an Adult Entree. This is pretty nice! Their kids meals have tiny burgers and stuff. :D

Golden Corral Gold Club - This was a twofer! Reagan AND Tristan both received an emailed coupon for a Free buffet with the Adult purchase of a buffet. That's about a $10-$14 value depending on when you go.

Denny's Rewards - This one is a bit different. ON YOUR BIRTHDAY, you show up with a valid ID showing your birthday and you get to build your own Grand Slam Breakfast. For kids 11-18, if they do not have a valid ID a parent must be present to validate that. I'm guessing verbal validation. lol.

3. You will need to enter your billing information before you can see the total and enter in coupon codes. This does not mean you are buying anything, it just needs that beforehand apparently.

4. If you don't see $10 come off automatically enter in code CMCCRAW1C51DE

5. For $20 to come off enter in code SPROUTS20

At that point, your total will be $5 (or whatever your overage over $30 is) plus tax. This will be delivered to you for free and you get to choose the time. It's pretty cool. We only have one grocery store that delivers in our area.

Let me know what you get and how well it worked for you.

REMEMBER TO CANCEL THE INSTACART EXPRESS SO YOU WON'T BE CHARGED WITHIN THE NEXT 14 DAYS

Coupon Campaign 2019 #3

Happy March!! This is an exciting month! This is my sister's birthday month and we are excited to see what Freebies come rushing in! As well as a lot of remodels to my sister's house. I've had to put a lot of my dreams on the back burner. But maybe things will work out. We shall see.

So here we go.  I will be adding to this list throughout the day as I get time to shoot off an email. And I will update the other two lists when I get responses. Have you emailed anyone? Who? Did you get a response? Let me know!

Here are the companies I've emailed on March 1st, 2019.

1. Friskies - I emailed them to tell them about our cat, OJ. I asked for any coupons or samples. On 03/05, I received an email response stating they were going to send me coupons! On 03/11 I received a FREE product coupon for up to $2.80 off any tub or Friskies canned cat food. :) 

March 6th, 2019:

2. Tostito's - I emailed about their Salsa Con Queso cheese dip and expressed my enjoyment of the product, and asked if they had any samples or coupons. On 03/07 I received an email stating they did not have any samples but they are sending me coupons! On 03/12 I received 5 coupons! 3 for $1/1 any Lay's snack product and two .55/1 coupons.
3. Qauker - I emailed them how much I love their Peaches and Cream oatmeal and asked if they had any samples or coupons to send.

March 7th, 2019:

4. Blossom Beauty - I bought a lip gloss from this brand and it was heinous. The taste was so gross! I emailed them to let them know the flavor was way off. I did not receive an email response from them but yesterday I got notification that a box weighing 1 lb is on the way from the company!
5. Shout - I emailed them and let them know how awesome I thought Shout was, I also asked if they had any coupons or samples they could pass along. On 03/08 I received an email back from Shout saying they would send me a coupon booklet. On 03/15 I did receive a coupon packet from them of various high value coupons for their products!
6. Aveeno - I emailed them to let them know how much I enjoy their shampoo. I also asked if they had any samples or coupons.
7. Pond's - I emailed them to let them know how much I enjoy their cleanser, I asked if they had any coupons or samples. On 03/08 I received an email response that said they did not have anything to mail at this time but they added me to a snail mail list?

Who have you tried? What responses did YOU get? Let me know if I'm missing something!

Birthday Freebies & Discounts Part 1

I hear your birthday is coming up. Well, not really, but my sister's birthday month is March so LAST MONTH I signed her up for every birthday freebie and discount I could find. She started receiving things at the end of February and there have been a very steady stream of emails since March 1st. Her birthday is March 29th.

A few tips before you start signing up for freebies and discounts for your birthday. Sign up for these freebies at least a month or more before your actual birthday month. You want to make sure you get into their system.

 Set up an email address specifically for your birthday. I did mine as caseysbday1980@gmail.com. You do something similar but you will get sooooo many newsletters it WILL clog your regular email up. Once you have that done then you can start searching. Now I'm sure there are some out there I didn't find, always check with any local places as well, sometimes you have local stores and shops that have a birthday program. Also make sure you log into each account and fully fill out your profile updating your birthday and mailing information. Some items do come via postal mail.

Another quick tip: Download and install the Ebates plugin. Even if your order is free for you, you can still get a percentage back on your orders. So that's making money off your freebies!

1. Ikea Family Rewards - This is a great one! They sent Reagan a coupon for $15 off any purchase AND a free meatball meal with dessert in their cafeteria. Reagan did use hers, she bought a baking pan and some little bowls and forks, she picked up a few other things but she was able to get $15 her entire purchase. How awesome is that? I wish she would have taken a picture of her meal but alas, she did not. She receive this coupon on March 1st.

2. DSW - I love this site! When you sign up you get $10 to spend on anything in the store, and randomly they will put $5 or $10 in your account, which is awesome. For your birthday, you do get $5 to spend. Their site boasts free shipping on any item so she was able to get some adorable Easter socks for FREE. They have already been shipped. This reward was sent to Reagan via the postal mail AND it was added to her account on March 1st.

3. Torrid Insiders - Torrid USED to be one of y favorite plus sized stores, but they have changed so much it's not even in the same aesthetic anymore. But for your birthday they do give you $10 to spend! This is towards any item, you can spend it in store or online. If you do shop online you can have it shipped to a store near you completely free. Reagan perused the clearance section and found a pretty cute bralette in the color peach and after a sale, a coupon and her birthday reward she spent .20! That's right TWENTY CENTS. She chose to pick up in store for free. This was added to Reagan's account on March 1st, but she did not receive any emails or messages alerting her to that, so just check the account. (She scored 2% cash back on her purchase through Ebates!)

4. Tarte Rewards - Ohhh, for my make-up lovers...Tarte will give you a gift with purchase and 20% your purchase. This year the gift is a Clay blush and mascara. Shipping is free if you spend $40 otherwise its $6. We lucked up. Reagan wasn't going to get this one, but Tarte ran free shipping for a day off any purchase, so we used her rewards to buy a travel sized facial wipe for $4. After her coupon and the sale, she spent $3.40 for the wipes, the birthday gift set, and 2 samples. Not bad at all! She can take those wipes on her cruise in October! She received her email on March 1st. (She scored 8% cash back on Ebates for her purchase!)

5. Medieval Times - For her birthday, Reagan received a coupon for FREE ENTRANCE into Medieval Times with the purchase of an adult  admission. Pretty cool, but the closest one to us would be in Myrtle Beach, SC and that is at least a 6 hour drive. So sadly we won't be redeeming this one. But this would be awesome to sign up the kids for! She received her coupon on March 1st.

6. Charming Charlie - This company sends you $10 to spend on anything you want. Which is super cool, they have some ADORABLE stuff. We don't have a Charming Charlie store near us so we would have to do the online shopping. Shipping price is $6 so I'm not sure if we will redeem this one. Maybe we can get near a store before the end of the month. She received her email on March 1st. (If you decide to order online you can score 2.5% cash back on Ebates!)

7. CVS Beauty Club - This is another little beauty freebie! On March 1st, Reagan received an email for a coupon towards a Pop-arazzi nail polish. She could choose any color she wanted and the coupon was $2.99 off so it would be FREE. She chose the shade Mermaid Charade. She received her nail polish coupon on March 1st and it had to be redeemed by March 15th.. **Note: I'm not sure if this was for her birthday or not, but I didn't have the same coupons on my account. She was sent an email that contained $2 in rewards towards Beauty Items, $2 in rewards towards food items, $2 in rewards towards Health and Wellness, $2 in rewards towards Home products, $2 in rewards towards Personal Care. She received these coupons on March 3rd. (If you shop this one online and pick up in store then you can score 2% cash back on this from Ebates!)


8. Qboda - This is a pretty interesting one. We do not have a Qboda near us so we won't be able to redeem this one, but Reagan received a coupon for a Free cookie. It looks like there are levels to your freebie. You can reach the level to get a taco...or an entree. Each level depends on how often you eat there.  She received this email on March 1st.

9. Kohl's Yes2You Rewards - On March 1st, Reagan received an email giving her a Bonus 50 points. Which from my understanding is about $2.50. We have not tried to redeem this, I'm not even sure how this program works. Email was received in regards to this on March 1st.

10. LovelySkin - This site sent Reagan $5 to spend on anything she wants and their online shop has free shipping, however there is NOTHING in that price range. Anything under $10 has a requirement that you buy a minimum of 2. So if you shop here already or really want something this is great. Email was received March 1st.

11. TGI Friday's - Reagan received a coupon for a FREE dessert with no purchase required on the coupon. I'm hoping that get to redeem some of the food freebies soon! This is a great one. Coupon was received March 1st.

12. Space NK London - Reagan received a coupon for a Free Trio of products in store OR online, Online requires a purchase however, and their products are a bit pricey. The closest store is in Atlanta. Sadly, we will have to pass on this one. (If you shop this one online you can score 2.5% cash back on Ebates!)

13. PF Chang's - They sent Reagan a Free Dim Sum or Dessert up to $12.99! This is awesome! That's a great value. PF Chang's is nowhere near us. I'm hoping we get towards Charlotte again soon.



14. Kirkland's - sent Reagan a 20% off code PLUS a free birthday gift in store. I've heard it's a basket and you get to choose what you want. Some of the next freebies we will have to go to the Mall in Johnson City, TN to redeem. We are hoping to get there soon. I know there is a Birthday Candle in there, and that would be so cute to get!




15. Krispy Kreme - This is a FAVORITE one. I love Krispy Kreme. Reagan received a coupon for a FREE Doughnut and a beverage (either coffee or a soda). This is super cool and has around a $5 value.

16. Pizza Hurt - Pizza Hut sent Reagan a coupon for Free Cinnamon Sticks but it looks like it will be for the specific store you sign up with as your main store. Hours happens to still be connected to a store in Charlotte.There is a MINIMUM PURCHASE OF $5 REQUIRED.

17. Champs Sports sent Reagan $10 off $50 purchase or $25 off a $100 purchase. This is another one we won't be redeeming, but if you need shoes this is a great time to buy them! 

18. Hardrock Cafe sent Reagan a buy an entree, get one free coupon! Free Entree valid for Salads, Entrees, Smokehouse Burgers or Sandwiches. Pretty nifty! Sadly, there is no Hardrock near us.

19. Hot Topic - Hot Topic used to be sister stores with Torrid, so that should tell you how much Torrid has changed. They gift you with $5 towards any purchase but unlike Torrid, you cannot do free ship to store if the purchase is under $10. You will be charged $2 for ship to store and $5 shipping to your address. This one is better to just shop in store and save your $2. This is another mall trip. Their socks were $4.90 so that will totally be free, they also had some lip gloss sets that were under $5. She did get an email on this one! It arrived on March 1st. (If you decide to shop this one online you can score 2% cash back on Ebates!) 

20. Perricone MD - This store sent Reagan a coupon code for $25 off online. When we checked out the site, there is absolutely NOTHING under $30. Perricone is a bet expensive but they do have some amazing skin care products, if you are a fan of this company you will definitely enjoy the coupon. The site does boast Free Shipping, and you can get a Lipstick or Mascara for $5 after coupon, they also have free samples with every order. So far, Reagan has opted NOT to sue this coupon. I may use it though, if she won't! lol. (If you shop this one online you can score up to 9.5% cash back on Ebates!)

21. Aveda sent Reagan a coupon for a free product trio plus free shipping on a $25 order. They also encouraged her to visit a store for a free hand ritual. They have a pretty interesting store. They do give freebies out a lot just for stopping in, and if you check online you can sign up for FREE facials, free makeup artist, free hair styling and more. (If you shop this one online you will score 4% cash back on your purchase through Ebates!)

22. Coke - Coke sent Reagan a Coke Code! Pretty cool, these can be used to enter a giveaway or to help you with a redemption for gift cards or other prizes that they do randomly.

23. Walgreens Balance Rewards - Reagan received an email stating she would have 10% off on any "eligible purchases" all month long!

24. Godiva Chocolate Rewards - YUM! Reagan received a $10 off $10 purchase online or in store. They do NOT have free shipping, so in store would be a better option here unless they run a sale with free shipping, which we missed by 15 minutes!! lol. UPDATE: It came back! We were able to score a box of their mixed truffles for $2.05 shipped after taxes. Always look for those sales that stack! (If you shop this one online you will score 4% cash back on your purchase through Ebates!)

25. Dippin' Dots Dot Crazy Email- Reagan received a coupon for a FREE Small cup of Dippin' Dots! She loves Dippin' Dots so this will be very special for her. :)





26. Sephora - Reagan was able to purchase their Free Shipping program for $15 a few months back with a gift card I gave her, so
we were able to find a small $2 item to purchase (which she also used a gift card for) and was able to redeem for her Free Birthday gift. She was able to choose between 2 things. Either a Kat Von D face set or a Drunk Elephant Skin Care box. These are both deluxe sample sizes. Reagan chose the Kat Von D. She was also able to choose 2 more samples to go with it and she got a gorgeous Dior lip bubble sample packet and a Tarte facial wash foil packet. You can definitely just walk in to redeem this one in store, but it was easier to just order it in case we DON'T make it to Johnson City. (Reagan scored 8% cash back on her purchase through Ebates!)

27. Express Next - Reagan received $10 credited to her account for a purchase towards anything, no minimum. Express is not near us so we didn't think we would redeem this one because shipping is $6 from this store, but they ran a sale and she was able to get a cute little heart necklace shipped for FREE. So that was pretty amazing that we were able to take advantage of that coupon code. They used to have cute little cups and journals and things of that nature but I think they stopped carrying those items as I didn't see ANY of that. (AND she got 2% cashback on the $10 purchase through Ebates)

28. Estee Lauder - Estee Lauder gave Reagan a free gift with purchase on their website. They do have free shipping, but the cheapest thing we saw on there was a mini for $10. You do get a deluxe sample as well with purchase so for $10 plus tax you wind up with some awesome items. She received an email with a unique coupon code.

There are some we are still waiting on to verify that they are going to work so stay tuned for Part 2 of this post!

Here are a few freebies and deals for Kids on their birthdays!

For the Kids:

1. Nickelodeon Jr. Phone Call -  For the little ones! A free birthday call from one of the Nickelodeon Jr. characters. I set up Tristan for a phone call from Paw Patrol and Cadence for a phone call from the Bubble Guppies. You have the option of choosing a time so you can make sure you don't miss the phone call. Pretty awesome for the little ones. 

2. Build-a-Bear - This is a really cool one! At Build a Bear your child can build the Birthday Teddy Bear and you will just have to pay their age! This is super cool for the younger ones. So Tristan will be 5 so his bear will be $5 and Cadence will be 3 so the cost of her bear will be $3. How cool is that?! They get the full experience for not a lot of money. 

I don't know a lot of kid freebies, most are for adults, but I'll keep looking to find some more!
