Fun Freebies for you and Guest Post

Yea, it's another addition of our fun freebies.
It was a hit last week, so I will continue to do it once a week. For those of you visiting for Frugal Friday, just skip down one paragraph.
If you find any fun freebies or nearly free items, please email me and I will add them to this list, with a thank you. :)
******************************
Welcome all of you who are visiting from A Soft Place to Land.
I can't wait to follow up and conquer Meal Time mountain together...over the next few weeks.
The amount of money and time to be saved by doing this is unbelievable.

My next three days will be a whirlwind.
I am frantically cleaning, since
our Fox News channel is coming to the house to interview me on Frugal Living.
If they walked in now, they'd surely turn around.
I don't know exactly what their topic is except they want me to share how I save money as a mom. I will touch on couponing, thrifting/yard sale, stockpiling, meal planning, and of course....the most important thrifty gift we can share with our children...learning how to be fiscally responsible in a time of such crazy economic irresponsibility.
That is something I know well.
It will be interesting to see how they edit this into such a small time slot...it's always a bit scary to be at the mercy of someone's copy/pasting.

As my regular followers know, we are then hosting a houseful of teens.
What I didn't mention is that after I get all the meals ready for this group, I am leaving to lead worship for a weekend womens retreat, and am having them at the mercy of my very capable husband (and youth pastor).

I am officially admitting it - for the next few days - there will be no balance of beauty and bedlam...just sheer bedlam.
Once I start worshiping, all will be well with my soul. :)
So make yourself at home, but please come back soon.

For my regulars, if you'd like to take a glimpse of the "beauty" that I did create this past weekend, please hop on over to Kimba's Soft Place to Land.
I am doing a guest post at her site about Managing that Meal Time Mountain...otherwise known as Meal Planning.
I'll feature it here later, but go take a sneak peak.
We'll follow up here with a great Q & A later in the week, as well as specific details/recipes.

So are you ready for some freebies?

(edited to add: I just found out that Huggies reset their coupon...if you have children still in diapers, click on my side bar coupon widget and click "see all coupon." There are two - $5 and $3. That's amazing. You may print two of each coupon.)

1. Go here to get one free SUNDAE from Baskin Robbins through the end of the month (and my girls are excited about this one).

2. Arby's extras (they sent a coupon to my email for a free burger) and/or Free Arby's sandwich coupon with only a drink purchase . I signed up for both of these yesterday to test them, & they even sent me a belated bday shake coupon today.

3. For those of you wanting a fun, update approach to "going green." I just received my first copy of "Ideal Bites", and it's SO fun. I signed up for the "mom bite" and there are great ideas/tips. Highly recommend.

4. Great on-line recipe ideas and data base...just click thru their questions real fast to sign up.

5. I ate my free Quizno's Sub last week, so when I saw this, I thought I would pass it on. Receive a free Sammie sub when you sign up by email.

6. Yipee - Coffee times are hard for everyone, so Seattle's Best/Borders thought they would offer a great incentive. My hubby was excited. This is a great (and frugal) date night. I have mine printed and ready to use - buy one latte or mocho, get one free.

7. You know I love my Pillsbury coupons and deals. There products are part of my "stockpile." If you haven't signed up for their great newsletter...do it. I get tons of ideas, and coupon offers.

7. I just signed up to get vital Juices daily health, beauty and wellness tips since I don't get any magazines anymore.

9. As someone who would be considered legally blind (without my contacts), I have always wanted to try these colored ones, and now I will. You can try both options below.

10. I thought this looked like the neatest Card Creator. I have perused the site. There are lots of options with it.

Ok, remember when I told you about this coupon, well...it's here again. Free box of touch of gray.

You can get a totally free one, but then if you use CVS or Walgreens when they have their "Extra bucks," they'll pay you to have your hubby use it (not that any of your hubby's need it, but....just saying) :)

AND, last but not least...free samples. I just started getting mine, and it's just fun. I love it because I love any kind of mail.

If you missed last week's freebies, here's the link to browse and see if there are other ones that you may have missed.
