Freebies

There's nothing better than a freebie. I mean, it's nice on your budget but the real fun is knowing that you are getting something for nothing. That's awesome!

One of our favorite newfound freebies is the Block Party at Whole Foods. I don't know if they are happening all around the country, but there are 2 different stores kind of near us (Palm Beach Gardens and Wellington) and both are participating. On different nights, no less! Basically the deal is that you go around and try different samples that each department makes. You vote on your favorite and are entered to win a $100 gift card. Palm Beachers, if you want to get in on the fun, the Wellington store does theirs every Tuesday night and the PGB store's is every Wednesday. Both start at 5 and end promptly at 7.

Another fun freebie available right now is at TCBY. Sign up online here and get a free cone! We don't have a TCBY near us but I'm signing up anyways (the coupon will be sent to your inbox) in case I spot one.

You can also get free money by signing up for ebates. If you're not a member yet, sign up now here. You'll get $5 just for signing up and then a % back every time you shop online. We've made quite a bit of $$ just by stopping by ebates before buying online. And, every day they offer a different store giving double the % back. Sometimes you'll get more back from shopping online than you would pay for shipping, so it's cheaper to shop in your underwear than going to the store!
