FREE Vera Bradley? I think yes.

This free Vera Bradley arrived in my mailbox earlier today. I must say, I'm absolutely in love.

This is my referral link. They have Vera Bradley purses on sale for $29.90, and i managed to score one for free using credits.

Pink Nation app for iPhone

Do you ladies have the Pink Nation app from Victoria's Secret? If not, you should go to your app store and download it. Just for signing up, I received a free pair of panties (with purchase) and got a coupon code through the app for another free pair (also with purchase). If you are already a frequent VS shopper, having to buy an item isn't that big of a deal. Happy shopping!

Old Navy Tee and Tank Sale

Old Navy is having a sale. It started today and ends June 6. Prices start out at $2 a tank. I combined this with a discount from the Snap Appy app I previously talked about and got 3 tanks for $1.09.

An Open Apology to my Readers

I'm sorry I haven't been on here much lately. I just started a new job and moved (both in the same week) and things are a little crazy right now. Plus, we don't have internet at home, and it's hard to blog on an iPhone. If anyone is interested in being a guest writer for a little while, please feel free to comment.

FREE Pedometer from Golf Digest

Golf Digest is giving away a FREE pedometer* as part of their WalkIt movement.

Once you enter, you will automatically be signed up to win other prizes from Humana, such as a trip for 2 to the Humana Challenge, or a pair of high performance FootJoys.

I signed up for the pedometer to track my movement at work. What do you plan to do with yours?

(*Available while supplies last.)

Free Friendship Bracelet

Wearshare offers you a way to design your own friendship bracelets, except these are wayy better looking than the ones you use to make in junior high. Even better is, they are offering a free code and free shipping in the US of A. Go make you one, and remember to put in the code WRSR77.

(The one at the top is one I made using photos of my nieces.)

Cheer Skorts

OMG... I just stumbled upon the greatest thing ever. Soffe has these adorable cheer skorts. Normally they are $12.99 a piece. On the Soffe website, if you order 4 of them, they are on sale for 4/$10.00 with free shipping if you use the code 45FREE.

Unless...

If you're anything like me, you watched the Lorax in theaters and loved it. I suppose several of you probably loved the Lorax before the movie came out, but I have no memory of ever reading the book. That being said, you probably took your kid to the movie and your kid became a fan as well. If any of this rings true, you will love today's post. I searched online and found tons of fun Lorax worthy activities for you and your children. All of them are downloadable, but you can choose to have the Lorax activity book I linked to in the first picture mailed to your child.

The Lorax activity book

The Lorax coloring pages + MORE!

The Lorax inspired garden stones

The Lorax stickers and tags from The Lorax Project 

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot nothing is going to get better. It's not."- The Lorax

Going Out Tonight?

This offer is valid through May 10, 2012. I removed the serial number, but if you click on the link, you should be able to generate a valid one for yourself. :)

FREE PAINT

Ace Hardware is giving away a free quart of paint today only. If you're in the process of moving (like I am) or if you just want to update the outside of your house, this offer is for you. Go now to their Facebook page and print your coupon!

Free Flip Flops

Do you love flip flops? Do you shop at Old Navy? Do you have an iPhone or an Android phone? If you answered yes to these questions, you will LOVE this deal!

Go to your app store and search for an app called Snap Appy. Download that to your phone and start scanning logos on your Old Navy clothing! With my very first item scanned, I won free flip flops! If you're lazy, I suppose you could just scan the same item over and over until you won something else.

UPDATE: Apparently this only works with select Android phones. I couldn't get it on mine, however I did get it on the boyfriends iPhone, which is how I got the free flip flops. 

The Money Game

 Paid Viewpoint- Pays you cash for doing surveys. The higher your trait score, the more you can earn. You also get $1 for each friend you refer. Payout occurs through Paypal once you have $15 in your account.

Superpoints Network- I don't know much about this one. I keep getting the emails, however, and those always contain at least 1 point. I've been getting 5 points per email for the last few days. From what I've read, you don't have to have many points (500) to start earning gift cards and other rewards.

Ipsos i-Say- Take surveys and earn points. The more surveys you complete the more points you earn. The more points you earn, the more you can redeem in our online reward catalog. We also like to chip in and offer some great contests & prizes for dedicated members. It’s a win-win! (Took that directly from their site.)

iRazoo- You earn points for every friend that signs up. If they win points doing the searches, you also win the same amount of points. Win/Win. You only need 3000 points to get an Amazon gift card.

Crowdtap- Earn points towards great prizes by answering a few survey questions. Occasionally companies choose you to sample their merchandise. (Recently Old Navy chose people to sample their ankle jeans.) A portion of your earnings goes to the charity of your choice. (Out of those listed. My charity wasn't listed, so I just chose at random.)

These are just a few of the sites I play on daily. My favorite one yet, and the easiest to use doesn't do RAF links. They only let me refer people through Facebook. That being said, you can send me a friend request there, and I will send you a RAF. :)

Where else are you going to get a $49 Kindle?

 

If you haven't looked at the Walmart ads online, they are selling a Kindle for $49, after giving you a $30 gift card. While it isn't the newest technology, it is great if you only want to read a book or two without having to tote around a whole library. Pick these up fast. This ad expires on May 5th. 

Also, Amazon has several ebooks for $3.99 or less. (Less being FREE sometimes.) 

This is a title I picked up for free today. 

Here is a quick description from Amazon.

They say you should never go back. But sometimes you don't have a choice.
After Gary Bull's miraculous survival from an explosion in Afghanistan, he is compelled to return to the small town where he grew up, a place that he thought he would never set his eyes upon again. Memories of a past long buried come back to him and he finds himself forced to face the horror of what he did when he was young. It started with the bullying...

Newton Mills appears normal enough on the surface, but scratch the surface and there is something far more sinister.

It has more than its fair share of graveyards and the skeletons are liable to walk right out of the closet.

Newton Mills is the scene of a despicable crime.

No one gets out alive.

Joann Fabrics Coupon

Joann fabric and craft stores has a coupon worth 50% off any one regular priced item. Certain things aren't eligible for this coupon, but all of that is outlined on the coupon itself, so it shouldn't come as any big surprise.

Jessica's Birthday Bonanza

Beauty

1.  Aveda- They send you a coupon during your birthday month for a free gift valued at $24.

2. Sephora- Currently, they are sending out a Philosophy 3-n-1. I believe it changes yearly.

Things I Am Expecting

I can't remember all of the free stuff I've signed up for, therefore, I'm going to try to compile a list. Maybe this will help me remember. If I remember later, I will go back and put links.

1. Gevalia Coffee (received today, Facebook app, currently out)
2. Cake spatula
3. Bottle opener
4. Ring from sneakpeeq (received last week)
5. Emergen-C sample
6. Target beauty bag (and from the looks of it, no more beauty bags)
7. Kembrel (was expecting a free bag, but the dog ate the package after the post man left it on the porch. Ended up getting credit instead. Kembrel has AMAZING customer service!)

Target Beauty Bag

Target is giving away samples of their beauty bag yet again. From the looks of it, it has hair products, and some skin cleaners. Not certain any of these are full size items. I believe they are hotel sized bottles. Either way, it's free. I signed up for it. :)

New Balance Sale!!

6PM has New Balance on sale today. Big discounts, and free shipping. Percent off varies, but I have seen some discounts as high as 69%. 

The shoes to the right were originally $114.95. After a 60% discount, you can get them for only $45.98. 

I recommend you guys go shop today, because this sale isn't going to last long. :)

Free Victoria's Secret Panties (with purchase)

I know you're sitting here asking yourself, "Why am I staring at a model's butt?" Well ladies, this Saturday only, Victoria's Secret is giving their Facebook fan's a free pair of panties with any purchase. I've made this easy on you guys. Click the word Facebook, and you are automatically taken to their Facebook page. :)

Pink Dog Bakery

Pink Dog Bakery is giving away a sample of their gourmet dog treats. This trial pack of 4 biscuits lets you try all their flavors, including Bacon Biter and Chicken Craver! I ordered some for my puppy, so I am sharing the link so you guys can pamper your pooches too.

Free Ring I Got From Sneakpeeq

I've been shopping on sneakpeeq for a little while now. It's a great little site that allows retailers to list their products for a few days at a time, and offers you a deep discount. Just for signing up, you get a free gift. Today, mine arrived in the mail in the form of a pink gemstone ring. :) I will post pics of it later.

iRazoo

I just found out about iRazoo and so far it sounds good. You earn points that you can redeem for gift cards to retailers such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. This program seems easier to gain points than most. It reminds me of Swagbucks in the way it is set up.

Crowdtap

I play around on Crowdtap sometimes. Not often, just usually in the evening hours when I need to pass some time. On Crowdtap, you answer surveys, or share Crowdtap, or review companies for points. Eventually these points add up to gift cards to Amazon (or other Internet retailers).

This is my own personal link to Crowdtap.

Bad review, I know. I'm still learning how Crowdtap works. Until then, this bad review stays.

Kembrel VIP

I've been following Kembrel for a few days now... I know, I'm late to the party. Kembrel is a pretty awesome Indie clothing store based out of Philadelphia. They specialize in flash sales and have permanent benefits for their VIP card holders.

Free Makeup Bag

I signed up for this great website called Kembrel. For signing up, I got a free $5 credit. If I made a purchase within the first 7 days, I got $5 more in free credit AND free shipping. So naturally, I did what any sane person would do, and I made a purchase. That alone would have made teh bag $0.49. After referring ONE friend, the bag was free. :)

Click this link and sign up! The more people you sign up, the more free credit you get! :)
