Free goodies from VeggieTales

VeggieTales and Focus on the Family team up

My kids have grown up with the fun loving vegetables from the cartoon series VeggieTales. I always get excited when they have a new video coming out. Right now the company is promoting their new DVD called “The League of Incredible Vegetables: A Lesson in Handling Fear.” In order to get the word out about their new DVD, VeggieTales has teamed up with Focus on the Family to offer you some amazing freebies.

What will you get for free? How about a music video by the Newsboys, an interview between the character Larry Boy and Jim Daly, family devotionals, a download of the Adventures in Odyssey (another awesome program designed to teach important life lessons) episode “Afraid, Not!” and a guide on raising incredible kids. The guide itself contains activity pages, super hero cards and a discussion guide for parents.

Free supplements for pets

Tails offers supplements for cats and dogs

I can't believe how great the freebie I stumbled across this week is! Tails is offering free supplements for your cats and dogs. The free samples are contain a week's worth of supplements. There are seven samples available to choose from, but Tails will actually let you request all 7 samples at once. Shipping is free as well so I highly encourage you to take advantage of this amazing offer before they close the doors on it.

In order to get your free samples you'll need to head to the sample page on the Tails website. There you can click the orange “Add to Cart” button to the right of the sample you want. Like I mentioned before, you can click all of them if you want to. 

Find your next great deal at Knoji

New deals are posted daily.

This past week I discovered a website that allows users to post all of the great deals they find on the web. This may include stores that are currently offering free shipping to their customers, or stores that have a limited promotional discount. Some deals are small, while others are unbelievable. All are verified before they are allowed to make their appearance on the site.

The website is called Knoji and it offers more than just a slew full of excellent deals that are bound to save you a boat load of money. It also offers users a chance to share any deals they discover while browsing the web. When these deals are posted, other users can take advantage of them. When that happens, the user who posted the deal earns money. How awesome is it that you can make money while helping other individuals save money.

Get a free call from a Disney character

Surprise your little one with a phone call from a Disney character.

If you have a child under the age of eight, you probably watch a great deal of Disney cartoons. I know when my girls were a bit younger that was all I was allowed to watch. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Bear in the Big Blue House were their favorites. Currently, Pull-ups has a unique offer for parents. You can sign up to have a Disney character call the house to give your child a message. Best of all this is entirely free.

To get the free call you'll need to head to free call request banner on the Pull-ups website. You'll see a picture of Minnie Mouse and Finn McMissle from Cars. Click on the button underneath the pictures that says “Set up call.”

Get a Payless gift card half off at Saveology

Why pay full price when you can get a discount.

If you are not currently a member of the website Saveology, you should be. Joining the site is completely free. There are never any hidden charges or fees associated with joining the site, or with buying any of the special deals. New subscribers are eligible to take advantage of an awesome deal—get a $15 Payless gift card for half the price. There is no trick or catch to receiving this deal. You just have to be new to the site.

Each day Saveology has a new deal that you can take advantage of. These deals are usually only available for a 24 hour period, so make sure you sign up to receive email updates. Then you'll be notified of the newest deal to see if it is something you'd like to take advantage of.

The website only issues one warning—that you rent the offers details before making a purchase. Many of these offers have an expiration date. You don't want to purchase a gift card that expires in three days if you have no plans to get to that particular store in time. You will need a credit card to make the purchase, but the website uses a secure server for receiving payments.

Free Sample: H2O Overdrive beverage

Stay hydrated with this delicious new drink

I am always on the hunt for new products to try. I was excited this week to discover that H2O Overdrive is offering a free bottle of their new beverage that is said to keep you hydrated. The website does show that the product's claims to hydrate, increase stamina, and boost recovery have not been evaluated by the FDA. You'll have to read all of the ingredients on the product to decide if it could be of benefit to you, but from what I see it is filled with vitamins and minerals. Vitamins A, C, D, E, several B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, selenium, and much much more are all inside this drink.

The drink 148 calories, zero of which come from fat. If you feel that you don't get enough nutrition from your diet, then this looks like a good beverage to add to your day. Of course, participating in sports can take a lot out of a person, so this drink might be what you want to have on hand at the end of a soccer match or a football game.

Tylenol Sleep Tracker App

Learn how to get a better night's sleep.

Tylenol knows the value of a good night's sleep. That's why they have the saying, “When you sleep better, you feel better.” I know I don't get enough sleep, but that is because I have a daughter with a rare neuro-genetic disorder. If you, however, have a different reason for losing sleep, you'll want to take advantage of Tylenol's free sleep tracker app. The app works for the iPod as well as the iPhone and you can get it at the iTunes store.

So what does the app allow you to do? It allows you to record how many hours you are sleeping each night, how you felt the next day, and what, if anything, you did that was special that day that may contribute to you getting more sleep. The app also has a section filled with sleep tips that you can utilize to improve your sleep patterns. You can even personalize the icons with your own photos.
