Cottonelle Flushable Moist Wipes Sample from Walmart

Thursday August 28, 2008
I'm not going to say much about this offer except that the product has to be an improvement over a wet paper towel.

You can find the link on the Walmart free offers profile.

Cleaning Product Free After Rebate

Wednesday August 27, 2008
We all have our favorite cleaning products, but I do tend to try new products when they seem like they may be an improvement on what I'm using now. Arm & Hammer is promoting a line of biodegradable cleaners they are calling Essentials.

They are running a free after rebate offer. The maximum rebate is $3.50. You can also get great money saving cleaning tips and home made formulas from our Frugal Living Guide.

Tuesday August 26, 2008
Wow! 2009 is quickly moving into view. A new year means different things to different people -- new opportunities -- new challenges -- getting older (yikes!). It also means we need new calendars. The Office on Woman's Health from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is offering a free 2009 Woman's Health Calendar. The free calendar can only be shipped to US, US territory, and US military base addresses.

Remedy Magazine Subscription

Monday August 25, 2008
Are age and health problems creeping up on you? The former is unavoidable and the latter needs attention to slow or stop them. Remedy Magazine offers health tips for the over 40 crowd.

If you are over 40 you can register for a free Remedy magazine subscription. You need to fill out the request from and a health survey.

They promise not to share your information, but they will send you health related mail and email unless you opt out of advertising. There is a check box for opting out at the end of the survey.

Free Private Label Rights Package

Sunday August 24, 2008
Do you know what private label rights (PLR) is? It is basically any type of digital product (ebook, software, or article) that the author has given you rights to modify and or claim as your own work. If you are familiar at all with Internet marketing you probably already know all about PLR. Normally to receive full private label rights to a product you need to pay a fee. I have managed to secure giveaway rights to a PLR package that contains five ebooks about getting started in Internet marketing.

That means I can actually give you the package and the private label rights. You then can modify, sell, or give away the package together or as separate products. You can also pass along the private label rights by selling or giving them away. You can use the information in the package to learn about making money on the Internet and you can actually use them as a basis to start or expand your own Internet marketing business. The package includes a sales letter that you can use also.

Send and Receive Faxes for Free

Saturday August 23, 2008
I don't need to send and receive faxes very often, but when I do, I use a free online fax service to get the job done. Most of the free fax services that are still around only let you send or receive faxes for free. The services typically offer faxes in one direction for free and charge you if you want to go the other way.

However, nothing says you need to use the same service for sending and receiving. Read the article to find how you can send and receive faxes for free.

If you want even more options for sending free faxes you will want to check out these five ways to send free faxes from our Web Search Guide.

New Offer from Walmart

Friday August 22, 2008
I have an older dishwasher, and no, it's not my wife. In fact, I can't say that I've ever seen my wife wash dishes, but that's a different story. My older dishwasher doesn't seem to deal with the gel pack type dishwasher agents very well. The ones I've tried left a gummy mess in the dispenser cavity. I'll probably give the Cascade Complete All-in-1 product a try just for the heck of it and because they are offering a free sample.

You can find out more about the Cascade Complete All-in-1 sample on the Walmart free offer profile page.

Lots of Prizes = Better Odds

Thursday August 21, 2008
Entering contests is all about winning prizes. The more prizes available the greater the odds of winning. Our prize-winning contests Guide, Sondra, has assembled a list of sweepstakes that offer lots and lots of prizes.

If you like entering and winning sweepstakes, you are sure to like these sweepstakes and contests with lots of prizes.

McDonald's Chicken Sandwitch Free with Drink Purchase

Wednesday August 20, 2008
I like chicken and I like free, so I had to jump on this offer. McDonald's is running a promotion with an online coupon for a free Southern Style Chicken biscuit or sandwich when you buy a medium or large drink. You need to click on the "get a free offer" link to get to the form. The site is Flash based and you will need a recent version of Adobe Flash installed to use the site.

You also need a color printer. They state that black and white coupons will not be accepted. I assume the reason is to make it harder to copy the coupons. The coupons are only good through September 1, 2008. Be careful when entering your birthdate. If you forget to change the year like I did it will not let you print the coupon because you are not old enough. An easy workaround, if you make that mistake, is to use an alternate browser.

Free Software Makes Filling out Flash Forms Easy

Tuesday August 19, 2008
There are two things that freebie lovers and sweepstakes fanatics have in common. They both fill out a lot of forms and they both get tired of filling out forms from time to time. Our Contests and Sweepstakes Guide reviews Texter, a free tool that fills in Flash forms as well as standard HTML forms.

Many of us hate Flash forms because our usual automatic form filling tricks don't work. Unfortunately, more and more companies are using Flash for everything on their site. I'm going to give Texter a try.
