Items I Got For Free In March, 2018

If you are new to my blog, each month I write a blog post about what I got for free the month before. Knowing that I am going to write about freebies each month helps keep me motivated to find lots of freebies that I can not only share with you but tell you how to get them also. Below is the list of what I got for free in March 2018, with tips on how you may be able to get something free in the same way. Some of these offers have expired, but just keep your eyes and ears open for more freebie opportunities like these in the future. Dunkin Donuts Coffee This Dunkin Donuts trial pack of Cold Brew coffee was sent to me because I received an email asking me if I would like to be part of the Dunkin Donuts at-home Review Program.

What I Got for Free in February and How You Can Get Free Stuff too

March 19, 2018 3 Comments

Items I got for free in February, 2018.

February was not as productive for me in terms as freebies as most other months because my husband and I were away for part of the month. We went to an annual conference that is held in Las Vegas for my husband’s business. Some of the freebies I got were from attending the conference and that is always fun to get freebies while traveling. A Free Donut from Dunkin Donuts The first item I will share with you is my trusty free donut from Dunkin Donuts. I share at least one free donut picture with you every month because, well, honestly, I LOVE Dunkin Donuts. I love the coffee as well as the donuts. I usually get one free donut each week when I go thrift store shopping for eBay, or bargain shopping at grocery stores with coupons. I found a Dunkin Donuts near the Golden Nugget hotel we stayed…

30 Things I Got For Free and How You Can Get Free Stuff Too

February 12, 2018 0 Comments

I got all of this, plus more, totally free in December and January!

I love getting things for free. Each time I get something for free, a little jolt of happiness runs through me. I know that may sound crazy, but it’s fun, isn’t hurting anyone, and makes me happy. I am tired of hearing people say,”Nothing is free these days.” There really are things you can get for free. You just have to look for them and pay attention. All of the items above are items I got for free over the past two months. I will break things down for you and explain how I got each of these items for free, and hopefully, this will start you on a journey of getting free items yourself. Free Donuts at Dunkin Donuts If you are age 50 or over you qualify to join AARP. If you follow me on Instagram you have probably seen many of the free donuts I have gotten….

Black Friday Sales Fliers at CVS and Rite Aid Offer Free Stuff

As promised, here is the list of free items you can get at the Black Friday sales at CVS and Rite Aid. Walgreens used to always participate in this, but are not doing it the same way this year. While you can get half off deals on some items at Walgreens, Rite Aid and CVS were the only ones offering free items. If you aren’t familiar with these Black Friday sales, let me explain how they work. First, you need to either already have a store card for Rite Aid and CVS, or get one before you go shopping for Black Friday. The CVS Extra Bucks Rewards Program CVS has a program called Extra Bucks Rewards Program.
