I am pretty excited about this promotion. It has already been done a few times, but starting at 8:00 am CT on Friday, December 17 (TOMORROW), CoastalContacts will give away a FREE pair of prescription glasses to the first 10,000 fans who order!!!! You WILL have to pay the $7.95 for 5-day delivery and there is a handling fee (7% I think).

Here is how to get this:

1. Go Like CoastalContacts on Facebook now!

2. Make sure you have your prescription handy!!

3. Get your coupon code under the “Get the Code” tab.

4. They recommend you pick out 3-5 frames you like NOW before fighting the crowd to get this deal in the morning. That way when it goes live you will already know what you are looking for while you are trying to fight the crowd/web traffic. I assume A LOT of people will be trying to be in the first 10,000, so the more prepared you are, and the quicker you can check out the better!! GO here to their website to choose the frames out.

5. Be ready to go when the deal goes live (8AM) and use your code for free frames and 1.5 index lenses.

GOOD LUCK!! Let me know if anyone scores glasses!

Thanks Freebies 4 Mom.

Last year I scored some sweet/free game deals on Hasbro games and toys using the coupons available. Right now there are 4 great coupons at the Hasbro site here. These coupons are for the following:

• COUPON 1 - Save $5 on the purchase of any (1) ELEFUN, GATOR GOLF, HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS or POP GOES FROGGIO game 
• COUPON 2 - Save $5 on the purchase of any (1) SORRY! SPIN, TWISTER HOOPLA, BOP IT BOUNCE or U-BUILD game 
• COUPON 3 - Save $5 on the purchase of any (1) CRANIUM SCRIBBLISH, FUNGLISH, SCRABBLE FLASH or PICTUREKA! game
• COUPON 4 - Save $5 on the purchase of any (1) TRIVIAL PURSUIT: BET YOU KNOW IT Edition, TABOO, The Game of THINGS or ELECTRONIC CATCH PHRASE game.

Often you can use these coupons for the Card game version on the game (like the Pictureka card game which is around $5 ar Walmart can be matched with coupon 3), or the Travel Size game (like the Hungry Hippo's travel game which can be matched with coupon 1). These should be free or close to it with these coupons!

Today at 4 pm EST (that is 3 PM here in the Central time zone) Bounce will be giving away t-shirts. They will go quickly I am sure, so go here now and LIKE them on facebook so when the time comes to sign up for the shirt, you will be all ready to go! Let me know if anyone gets one-I will be doing a preschool pick up when these go live...

If you have not joined Orange Julius's OJ quench club yet, you should do it today!! They just posted the following on their Facebook status: "Join the OJ Quench Club! All members will be sent a a special offer on Friday." I don't know what the special offer will be, and it is possible it could be disappointing, but in the past, they have had free drinks or BOGO ones. Plus, I just LOVE Orange Julius! If you need to join, you can click here to do so!

If you live near a Jamba Juice, this is a great deal!! Jamba Juice has announced that they will accept all McDonald's smoothies coupons-even the free ones (in select areas). Please read what Jamba Juice, has to say about it here. If you click on that link you will also be able to print out a $1 off coupon for Jamba Juice if you don't have any McDonald's coupons.

The areas that will accept the FREE coupon are Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Sacramento, New York, Denver or Miami.

You may recall that I told you here and here about FREE books I got from Read It Forward.

If you too are interested in reading advanced copies of new books, I would recommend checking out the Read It Forward website each month and signing up for a chance at getting any book that looks interesting (there are 3 new ones each month and readers are randomly selected to get them). I sign up for all the books each month and hope to get one occasionally-even if the book may or may not be one I want to read, I sign up. My husband would probably like the ones I would not...

This month's books are pictured above! They look good...

In the Tuesdays Travels:Hawaii post I told you to go get the Hawaii Entertainment book for only $15. Well, TODAY the books are even less ($12) and Mojo Savings figured otu a way to ge it FREE!! Please read their blog on how they did it here.

FYI, King's Hawaiian Bread (my fave) just posted the following Facebook status: "Aloha! Head on over to our Twitter page today for a chance to win FREE authentic Hawaiian bread! 4 followers & retweeters will be selected after 6PM PST tonight! Mahalo, the Folks at King's Hawaiian Bakery"

Their Twitter page is here.

This looks awesome! This Saturday, May 8 from 11-1 Toys R Us is having a Glow Explosion Party! It looks like fun! Make sure to clal your local store to see if they are participating before you head over!

FYI, this might turn out to be nothing or it might be something awesome. I am a liker of International Delight on Facebook, and they just posted the following as their status: "Be sure to visit our page later today for a very special treat!" Go here to become a liker and watch today for what their special treat is! I hope it is somehting good!!

Heads up that you may want to become a fan of Gillette on Facebook (or "like" them as it is now called). They posted the following yesterday:

Hey Fans! The time has come . . .would you like to be among the FIRST to try the new Fusion ProGlide? We’re celebrating our Facebook fans & our new innovation by giving away 1,000 FREE samples a day for the next 10 days RIGHT HERE on our fan page. Check back tomorrow for the first giveaway!”

Yesterday I posted a blog about my borther's awesoem service project here. Please take the time to read all about it, but even if you don't read that whole explaination, basically he is collecting toys adn rollerblades to donate to the Kidstar Program at the University of Utah Neuropsychiatric Hospital. It is a GREAT cause!

If you are considering donating something but do not have a lot of money, I just wanted to let you know a couple things.

First, there are many toy and game coupons available from Hasbro here. Using those coupons, you can score some pretty great deals at Walmart with their everyday prices. Second, often you can find sales going on which you can combine with the coupons to get great deals!

One of those great deals is going on today only at Toys R Us. Their Deal of the Day is My Little Pony B1G1. If you have your Hasbro Insert from the Sunday paper on 3/21, there is a B1G1 free coupon for My Little Pony in there. So, presumably, if this works at Toys R Us like it does at other places, they should both be free. You can also print out that same B1G1 coupon at the Hasbro site here. (Thanks Couponing to Disney.

Why, you ask, would those be free?! Basically it is like getting 1 free from the store (in this case Toys R Us) and 1 free from the manufacturer. Manufacturers coupons are just another form of payment like a check or credit card or cash as far as th stores are concerned. So, when the store has a B1G1 sale and you have a manufacturers coupon for B1G1, the store is giving you one free on their sale. You give them the coupon which gives you 1 free from the manufacturer, and the store gets the money from the manufacturer (which is why the coupon is like cash to them).

***FYI-looks like they are NOT doing a coupon or freebie, but a contest, so a bit of a bummer, but hey-you might as well go to their page and enter the contest...***
This may be nothing, but maybe it will be a freebie or a fun coupon. 3 Musketeers posted on Facebook "BIG stuff happening on the our page tonight! Check back later for details...would love to SHARE more, but can't just yet. (That was my sad attempt at giving a clue ;-)" So, it might be worth your time to become a fan of 3 Musketeers on Facebook here.

I hope it is a freebie!!

3. Watch the video/commercial.
4. If you are "chosen" fill out the form with your address and click submit! Fun!

Thanks Who Said Nothing in Life is Free?

Here is a tip from my sister, when her local newspaper called to see if she would be renewing her newspaper, and she had decided not to, they told her she can get the Sunday coupon inserts alone delivered for free. Yeah, I said FREE. So, if you do not get your local newspaper, it might be worth making a call to your newspaper company to ask if they offer the same thing. Worth asking, right?! Let me know if this works for anyone else-my sister is quite happy with her free coupon inserts!

Reader Renee let me know via Facebook that evidently in Utah if you go to Chick fil A today and order food, you could go back tomorrow or Friday and take your receipt in and get the exact same thing for free.

I have not been able to verify whether this is working, but call your local Chick fil A to see if this is a deal they have-in or out of Utah it is worth calling to see! Let me know if you have luck with this!

Thank you Renee!

Olay is giving away free Regenerist Starter Kits ($35 value) to the first 1000 women to sign up at 12 PM on Feb 24 (which is tomorrow) here. I have no clue what time zone the 12 PM is refering to, but will try to find out.
This would be a nice one to get, but it will probably be tough to be in the first 1000. Worth a shot though...

Thanks Money Saving Madness.
