Free Sample: Quaker Oatmeal Squares

I love free samples, especially food samples that offer my body additional nutrition. Quaker, the company best known for its oatmeal products, has a new breakfast item that captures the flavor of oatmeal, but puts it in cereal form. Not only do the Quaker Oatmeal Squares have much needed soluble fiber, but they are also made with whole grains. They are thought to be heart healthy, although I think for legal purposes they can’t make a definitive claim.

Free Sample: Jelly-Kids Vitamin Supplement

I don’t have any trouble getting my kids to take their vitamins, but I know plenty of moms who do. This includes my sister, who has to practically fight with her kids to get them to ingest something healthy. With the invention of Jelly-Kids, now she won’t have to.

Jelly-Kids is a vitamin supplement that comes in the form of a jelly bean. Kids will want to eat it because it will remind them of Easter candy. According to the company, an advanced cold infused technology system was used to insert vitamins and minerals into the jelly bean. Don’t worry though, the jelly bean itself is made out of organic fruits and all-natural sweeteners.

Daily Deal Websites

Great Offerings for Electronics

Since I’m all about discounts and savings – especially for electronics, I would be remiss not to mention some of the daily deal websites that are available to you. Below, I’ve listed some of the top Daily Deal websites that offer great options for electronics  Many of these are One Day / One Deal sites that have very limited offerings, but rotate their inventory daily.  So, it is important to check the sites each day.  And, check them early in the morning as popular items can go fast.

Take Advantage of Kmart’s Free Sample Center


Until today I was unaware that Kmart had a Sample Center. I knew that Wal-Mart had a page on their site that offered free samples and deals to customers, but not Kmart. Since I love a good deal, this made me very happy.

Currently there are seven free sample offers on the Kmart Sample Center page that you can take advantage of. Of course, I am sure that they are like Wal-Mart, in that, the offers change on a regular basis.

1. Lacoste: Lacoste is a perfume for men that you can try out, or order for your spouse to try if you are not a male. There are four fragrances to choose from: Lacoste Challenge, Lacoste Essential Sport, Lacoste Essential, and Eau De Lacoste.

Free Sample: 24K Golden Caviar Age Defying Concentrate

I believe in growing old gracefully to an extent. I won’t deny that I plan on dyeing my hair once I get a few more gray hairs, but I don’t worry about wrinkles and age spots. Still, I know many individuals who want to find that perfect product that will stop the hands of time. PRAI is currently offering a free sample of their 24K Golden Caviar age defying concentrate for people to try.

Security to Dispel Worries

Are you paranoid?

Do you feel as though people may be trying to break into your home to steal your milk and cookies?  Are there times when you leave for work and you wonder if people could break in?

Why not dispel any paranoia feeling with a new security camera system?

WoW!

That sounds great but it sounds expensive especially for cameras that are weather resistant.

Well you're in luck. Right now, you could purchase a Uniden 7" All-Weather Wireless Video Surveillance System for only 139.99!  Amazing, right?

Free Sample: Stayfree Ultra Thin Regular with Wings

Living in a house full of girls, I always appreciate free samples of feminine hygiene products. This is especially true since my daughter is still trying to discover the brand of maxi pads that she likes best. A sample saves me from having to buy an entire box of pads that she ends up thinking are uncomfortable and don’t offer enough protection.

Get $5 Off Your Take-out Order with Eat24

I just discovered Eat24 and love the concept of it. The site is filled with restaurants around the United States that accept online take-out orders. There are three ways you can search the website to find the restaurant you want to order from. You can search by your physical address, by the type of cuisine you have a craving for, or by a nearby popular city.

A Great Buy For Some Essential Backing Up

I don't know if backing up your stuff onto an extra hard drive is important to you but it is to me.  This buy that I just found is probably one of the best things because of the size of it.

Now before your mind goes straight to the gutter, I want you to know that it is entirely a productive tool for those that love to have their music on the go or maybe you are a busy business person that has many, many files.

Japan’s Big F***** Sale!

Yes, It’s Vulgar, But I Can’t Seem to Stop Laughing

I can’t post the sign or the actual language here, but I wanted to share this bit of news from Japan that I can’t stop laughing over. Apparently a department store in Japan has executed a campaign with the slogan “F*****’ Sale.” This isn’t the first time we’ve seen such faux pas in the signage world, especially when it comes to marketing between cultures. One of my favorite examples, of course, is the Chevy Nova, a car that I loved growing up. Once I discovered that its name translated to “doesn’t go” in Spanish, of course, I laughed at the irony and have not been able to help but grin every time I have hear the word since.

Dove Hair Care Free Sample


I have frizzy hair that is hard to tame without getting out my hair straightener. I’m always on the lookout for a product that will work in my hair so that I can cut back on the time it takes to get ready in the morning. I happen to come across Dove’s website, where they are giving away a free sample of their new nourishing oil that is suppose to control frizz.

Our Daily Bread: Free Devotionals


I love free samples, especially when they lift me up spiritually. Our Daily Bread is a free series of devotionals that have been around since 1956. I remember seeing them around the house, and on desks at church when I was kid. Now that I am an adult, I can order my own set.

Each devotion within Our Daily Bread is only 1 page long. A suggested scripture reading, as well as a story with a life application is included to complete the page. The devotional comes with enough devotions for three months at a time. When you sign up for free, you will continue to receive a free Our Daily Bread four times per year.

To sign up you must head to the Our Daily Bread website. Click on the link that says “Subscriptions.” Then, you will see several links. You can choose to receive the publication via one daily email. If so, just click the link and fill out your email address info. I prefer to receive mine in the mail, however, so I can look back at old lessons.

I'm Watch

So while searching for a great deal to announce to the masses, I found something that almost made my mind explode.  Now it may not have that affect on yours or maybe you have already seen it before but it is worth a look.

Behind this door is something new, something amazing, something that I would have dreamed of as a child when the future seemed so distant.  It is the smart watch.

Free Chocolate

Ginnero is offering some free treats.

Who doesn’t love chocolate? I know I sure do, and I have past that love on to my children. What I love even more than chocolate is getting things for free. Combining these two loves equals heaven for me. Fortunately, I get to have my wish. Ginnero is currently offering free chocolate samples to new customers.

I had never heard of Ginnero before, but I was excited to learn that this candy making company is family owned. The Ginnero Family started making candy back in 1925 in the town of Mackinaw City, Michigan. Today they sell more than just plain chocolate. They also sell sponge candy, chocolate covered pretzels, baby shower candy favors, and wedding chocolates.

What impressed me even more about this company was their willingness to cater to individuals. They specifically state on their website that if you don’t see what you are looking for in their candy catalog, simply ask them about it. They will strive to create candy in the flavor or design that you desire. Simply call 231-436-1066 to speak with one of the employees.

Free Sample of Puffs


I love free samples of products I actually use. Puffs, a facial tissue designed and manufactured by Procter & Gamble, is offering a free sample of one of their newest Puffs products. The campaign is titled “Be the First to Know!” The company hopes that you will fall in love with their new product, purchase it when you have a need for tissues in the future, and tell everyone you know so that they will go out and do the same.
