What were your best freebies/wins of 2006?

[KittyMom]

We all got a bunch of great stuff this following year. What were some of your favorites? That you got the most use out of, or were just so excited when it arrived?


I guess I’ll start......

* The Senseo coffee pot. Of course was one amazing freebie, I find myself drinking more coffee
then I ever did without it. So I’m sure Senseo is earning their money back ten fold with me buying atleast 2 bags flavored coffee pods each week lol.

* The Hill’s “We believe in second chances” T-shirt and bumper sticker. This was my first T-shirt I ever received and I was so excited over it. Its so cute too..It kind of makes me cry.

* The Jergens red tote bag. Although it was not jammed pack full of freebies like the picture. It’s a really nice, well made bag. And I believe you had to be 1of a certain number of entries to receive it. So I was not expecting it and it was a really great surprise.

*$5.00 gift card for Starbucks. I think I’ve filled out atleast 30 offers to receive one and never did. But one finally came!! I was ecstatic. Lol

*Purina Cat food Freebies. This includes the very nice size bag of Naturals they sent out and the coupons for free bags of PurinaOne. Cat food gets expensive, and these really did help. Not only that but I had never tried Purina before and when I switched their food I noticed a definite difference in the condition of my cats fur. Both were suffering from chin acne which I was told was from stress or dirty bowls (my cats do not get along) and they had dandruff. (I’m semi guilty of keeping my home incredibly warm) even my skin dries out quite badly. But after the change of food both conditions completely cleared up! I was amazed, I never even imagined any of it could have to do with their food. Purina now has a new customer for life!

OMG I'm SO Sorry! *giggles a little*
You know when your ready to well not replace Sir Bob, but move on and get a new friend. Betta fish are pretty easy to handle. They don't really eat everyday, Live in very small enclosures. And I can almost promise you wont be flushing one for a very long time...well fish life wise.

I won an Ionic Breeze at work for buying a ticket for $1 to benefit United Way. Which I traded to another girl for the $50 TGI Friday gift certificate she won.

[BALLETRINA2007]

I won a $50 Victoria's Secret gift certificate. I entered some sort of giveaway on their website. That was a surprise!

Well, the best one I have to say for this year was the Senseo, I love it and use it all the time. I do regret the fact that I was laid up and not online for awhile, so I did not get to do the survey they send you afterwards, and I do feel kind of guilty about that. So I am going to send them an email to let them know that I have shared it and we all love it.

The various cat food offers were other great ones, my boys loved them all, and the greenies cat and dog treats, full sized packages, very generous sample there. Shasta has gotten so used to it, that if I come in and say she got mail, she gets all excited and comes running to see what it is! So cute.

Another freebie that saved me a lot of money are the Schiff Move Free offers, they send two weeks worth in each sample, which my doc has me taking half as much, so each one really lasts me a month and I haven't had to buy any in several months now and it really does help with my joint stiffness and pain.


My bestest, bestest, freebie was just before the new year 2004! LOL! When I carried home our precious new feline friend Machi!!! He is the sweetest, smartest cat we have ever had. He is 2 now and just as playful as when he was a tiny 3 week old abused and neglect kitten that I took off of our neighbors. Their grown daughter, who had moved in with her parents with her two kids, had carried him home and they didn't want more pets, so they just didn't bother with him. I was appalled, I wasn't even sure we could keep him, but I had to get him out of there, and well, we fell in love, so he stays as a permanent member of our family.

So sorry to hear about Goldfish Bob!
