FREEBIE FRIDAY, Jan 27, 2012

Welcome to Freebie Friday. Here are today's freebies:

Free Windex Electronics Wipes: offer is limited to the first 3000 that respond.

Free Kleenex Share Package: Sign up for a Kimberly-Clark account and indicate who you would like to send the free Kleenex to. They'll send a package to you and your friend.

Free First Aid Kit, Emergency Medical Sign, and Signs of Stroke fridge magnet for registering with Florida Hospital. As far as I can tell, you don't have to live in Florida, but that may change.

Free Copy of the book Dropshipping for Dummies from Doba. This is a great resource if you want to start an online/eBay business. Go ahead and get the book, but keep in mind that user reviews of Doba's dropshipping service portray a lot of unsatisfaction. They're a middle man with markups so high it's hard to make a profit on eBay. You can get free access to a dropship and wholesale directory.

Free After Rebate from Fry's Eletronics:

• Antec Mini Notebook Cooler for laptops up to 17"
• Slip Jewel Cases for CDs, pack of 20
• Inland Cleaning Wipes
• McAfee Antivirus 2012 - 3 users
• Panda Global Protection 2012 - 3 users

Free After Rebate from Newegg.com

• Sage Peachtree First Accounting 2012
• Kaspersky Lab Antivirus 2012 - 1 user
• McAfee Antivirus 2012 - 3 users
• Trend Micro Titanium Maxium Security - 3 PCs
• Trend Micro Internet Security - 3 PCs
• AVG antivirus 2012 - 3 PCs

Free After Rebate from Staples (starting Monday, Jan 30)

• Trend Micro Security titles
• McAfee Security titles

Note: You can get free anti-virus software without having to deal with rebates, and they're usually just as good as the paid versions.

Office Depot is advertising that starting Monday, Jan 30, there will be 24 software titles for free after "instant, mail-in, and user upgrade rebates." If the title is free after instant and mail-in rebate, then it is actually free if you don't include the sales tax and cost of mailing the rebate. A user upgrade rebate is not actually free since it requires ownership or proof of purchase of a previous version. This is only free if you have a previous version and didn't get it for free after rebate (which likely required that you mail the proof of purchase, so now you wouldn't have it).

Office Max is advertising products that are 1 cent "after MaxPerks bonus rewards." These deals are not actually free. They are more like hybrids of rewards programs and by-one-get-one free sales. You have to spend money to get the deal and the bonus rewards can only be used at Office Max.

This upcoming week is the week before the Super Bowl, so you may find more free after rebate deals and free samples of products related to the Super Bowl (ie. soda, chips, etc.) if you keep your eye open.

Freebie Friday, Jan 13, 2012

Welcome to Freebie Friday, Jan 13, 2012. Here are today's freebies:

Free After Rebate from Fry's Electronics:

• iolo Drive Scrubber Software
• susteen Datapilot Universal Pro Kit with Software and cable kit

Fry's Electronics is also advertising a device similar to Magic Jack, which allows you get phone calls through your internet service, by Phone Power. The device is Free After Rebate and the service is $200 a year. A Magic Jack device is $30-$70 and cost $20 a year for the service. They're both more economic than paying $25 a month to Cox Cable or any other phone company, but if this is something you want to do, the Magic Jack may still be a better deal overall even if this Phone Power device is free after rebate.

Fry's Electronics and other retailers below are also advertising many other software titles for free after rebate that are not actually free. These titles either require a tax software purchase or a proof of purchase of an older edition of the software they are advertising. The later is called a users upgrade rebate.

Free After Rebate from Newegg.com:

• Kaspersky Lab Pure Total Security 3 users Software
• AVG Internet Security 2012 3 users software

Free After Rebate from Office Depot (Starting Monday, Jan 15, 2012, see their ad):

• McAfee Internet Security 2012

Free After Rebate from Staples (Starting Monday, Jan 15, 2012, see their ad):

• Easy Peel Address Labels, 25 sheets
• McAffee AntiVirus Plus 2012 1 user Software
• Titanium Internet Security 2012
• Kaspersky Internet Security 2012

Free After Rebate from MacMall:

• USB Power Adapter for iPod/iPhone (and probably any other USB device)

Be sure to read the Free After Rebate page for details on how rebates can actually get you to spend money. Also be sure to read the details of all the rebates before purchasing these items.

Office Max is having a 1 cent sale according to their ad starting on Monday. However, these deals are 1 cent after Max Perks Rewards. Rewards programs in my opinion are not actually free. Just like a buy-one-get-one-free sale is not actually free. But they can be good deals for anyone who already shops at the store frequently.

There are a lot of software titles here, probably because software is cheap to mass produce and they are already competing with Free Software. The most common software that is free after rebate is AntiVirus software, and you can get that for free without having to even deal with a rebate.

More Freebies:

• Buffalo Wild Wings Free 6 Wings Coupon (the link shows an ad you might see in an email, I'd suggest going their website and signing up for the email club if you want to be sure you'll get this freebie).
• Free Breakfast Entrees at Chick-fil-A for customers at select locations who make a reservation online. Chick-fil-A seems to be having lots of freebie promotions. Just two days ago my wife and I went to Chick-fil-A to use coupons for free breakfast entrees and when we were served there was another coupon for free chicken noodle soup on our tray. A freebie for getting freebies. I like it.
