Free Skin Cancer Screenings

In honor of May being skin cancer awareness month, Olay and the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery are presenting free skin cancer screenings across the United States. There is no catch to this program, and anyone who chooses to take advantage of it will get a free visit to the dermatologist that includes a screening for possible skin cancer.

The campaign has been titled, “Skin Cancer Takes Friends,” and participants are encouraged to bring their family and friends along with them for the visit. The program will not only be available throughout the month of May, but during the month of June as well. This gives everyone ample time to take advantage of this important freebie.

Walmart Laptop Bundles

My laptop broke after I accidentally dropped it. I took it to a repair man, who couldn't fix it. Sending it back to the company for repair would cost me more than just purchasing a new laptop. Still, I didn't have a whole lot of spare cash to spend on a new one. I began searching the Internet to see what I could afford. That's when I discovered Walmart's laptop bundles.

The bundle I purchased came with a 15.6” laptop, an all-in-one printer, a flash drive and a laptop bag that fits up to 16” screened laptops. This bundle cost less than purchasing a laptop by itself. Since I didn't need the extras, I sold them and put the money toward the total cost of the bundle. This turned out to be one heck of a great deal!

Free Sample: 5-Hour Energy

I have yet to try the product 5-Hour Energy, although I have seen countless commercials for it lately. Energy is something I'm lacking though, which is a result of having a disabled child who never sleeps. Since 5-Hour Energy is offering free samples to new customers, I plan on finally taking the plunge and giving it a try.

5-Hour Energy currently comes in the following flavors: berry, decaf, orange, lemon-lime and grape. Each tiny bottle is only a total of four calories, so it definitely still an option for anyone on a diet. There are also plenty of vitamins and nutrients in this energy shot, and absolutely no sugar (thank goodness). I believe when my sample arrives, I will start off with half the bottle to make sure it doesn't make me too shaky, which is how I get if I drink too much caffeine. Perhaps, I'll be able to start off with the decaf bottle.

Free dog and cat food

If you own a dog or a cat, you are going to love this free sample. Hill's Science Diet Ideal Balance dog and cat food is made with natural ingredients. Personally, I know the healthier my cat is, the happier she is. That is why I was quick to join this BzzCampaign on BzzAgent and order a free sample of the new Hill's Science cat food. I was surprised when I received a full bag in the mail. Usually, the samples I get are so small.

After getting the Ideal Balance cat food in the mail, I began feeding it to my cat immediately. It has been a few weeks since she started eating it, and I am happy to report that she now goes much longer in between coughing up hairballs. With her other formula, she seemed to cough them up often even though the store formula was classified as an indoor formula that reduced hairballs (I won't mention the brand).

Free Sample: Cutex One-Step Pads



If you paint your nails often, you may notice that they start to become brittle and unhealthy. Sometimes this comes from the chemicals in the nailpolish remover. They strip your nails of essential oils and nutrients that are vital to good nail health. Fortunately, Cutex has created a new product that offers a solution to this problem.

Cutex One-Step Pads are nail polish remover pads with a twist. They contain such ingredients as botanical oils, flaxseed and black currant. These additives work to keep your nails nourished so that you can continue to paint them and keep them looking fabulous. Even better, these pads are easy to take on the go, unlike a big bottle of nail polish remover.

Free Sample: Eucerin Sunscreen



Summer is quickly approaching, which means more sun and fun outdoors. While this lends itself to exercise and more vitamin D, it can also mean sunburn if you aren't careful. I
 know that I lather it on once an hour during the hot summer months.

Eucerin is currently giving away a free sample of their daily protection sunscreen. Most of us know Eucerin as a company that sells body lotion. It seems only natural that they would branch out and start making sunscreen. After you make your request for a free sample, you will receive one sample of Eucerin Daily Protection Moisturizing Body Lotion Sunscreen with SPF 15, and one free sample of Eucerin Daily Protection Moisturizing Face Lotion Sunscreen with SPF 30.

National Mom's Nite Out

Happening on May 10 at a mall near you

 

If you are a mom looking for great deals, then hire a babysitter and head to the mall to celebrate National Mom's Nite Out. National Mom's Nite Out takes place on May 10 and occurs in over 100 malls across the United States. There are participating malls from California all the way to Florida. I check my state and found four malls that I could go to.

The night's event begins at 5 p.m. and lasts until 9 p.m. Some malls may choose to extend these hours, but that is currently the standard across the board. Moms from all over will be able to take advantage of one-of-a-kind discounts. Goodie bags will be given away, and services like massages and manicures will be offered for free.

Free sample of glass cleaner

Invisible Glass leaves zero streaks on glass surfaces

 

If you are a fan of getting the windows in your home streak free, then you are going to want to take advantage of this week's free sample. Invisible Glass is giving away a free sample of their glass cleaner. The glass cleaner is currently sold in liquid form, as well as in the form of wipes.

There are many other uses for the Invisible Glass product. You can use it on your mirrors, glass tabletops, picture frames, car windshield, or on anything else made of glass. I know my grandfather clock could benefit from this item. The product claims to get your glass so clean that it is invisible. This is what sets it apart from other glass cleaners. One of the Invisible Glass products even has a rain repellent built-in. This could really benefit the windows of your car.
