5/29/12 freebies

I received my free Atkins diet kit today from my 5/17 freebies post .  It came with three Atkins Bars (I've tried two and they taste better than the protein bars Josh has come home with), a carb counter and acceptable foods list, and some coupons.  The carb counter book was awesome because it had your everyday foods and told you the carbs, fats, protein, etc. that a lot of popular foods are.  I realized that if I was to go on a diet that it wouldn't be the Atkins diet, but the kit was pretty cool.  Mainly the carb counter (time to cut back on the soft drinks again, ugh). 

Okay, the point of this was that when I opened the mail box I realized that I haven't posted any free samples lately.  Oops!  Here's four for now.

Since we had grilled cheese sandwiches last night I'm not going to bother posting it's recipe.  We do have a "free for all" food night weekly where we typically have sandwiches.  Some nights we've even had cereal.  It may sound bad, but you can't tell me you've never done the same.  Not to mention on those nights the kids make their own food.  So maybe I'm just teaching them how to be independent.  :) 

So in honor of sandwich night, I've found more samples in lieu of a new recipe.

I've been pretty busy trying to push out a couple articles for Yahoo! so I've really slacked on my blogging.  Sorry guys!  I'll throw up, er, post...a new recipe tonight if all goes well.  If not, well, I have no excuse other than I'm being lazy (or the kids have knocked me out, tied me up, and thrown me in a closet).

5/5/12 Freebies

I have an addiction to free things. I really can't help it. Luckily, free things are good things to be getting (unless it's something you don't want...like a free cold. But that's dumb, and I'm not posting links to free colds...I'm just pleading my case...and digging a hole a bit deeper as you truely see my inner geek-or outer geek for those who really know me).

So at least once a week I'm going to put a few links up to freebies that I've already applied for. But there's some basic guidelines to getting freebies.

1. Don't use your everday email. I have a "spam" email, and a personal email. Sometimes you need to verify via email to receive a freebie but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

2. Yes, you have to give them your real address. How else are you going to have it sent to you, silly?!

3. If it sounds shady or they want you to buy something else with it, don't do it. Not worth it.

4. And the last, don't be greedy. If you end up with 10 posters of Tony Hawk telling kids not to smoke (I asked for 2...and got 10...it happens) then pass them on to other parents or teachers or anyone else who can make use of them. If you applied for a size 2 baby diaper and received a newborn then don't throw it away. Pass it on to someone expecting a baby or stick it in a bag of clothes you'll be donating. A lot of times coupons come with the samples. Every little bit helps.

Those are my personal rules. Use your head people. :)
