Baby Freebie Items! (Get all these items for free!!)

Hey everyone! Much faster turnaround this time huh?! I promised I'd be back sooner and here I am. Today I want to share all about the FREE baby items you can get. Seriously, free items! 

If you know me or have been reading here for awhile you know that I love to get items for free and love free samples. Once I got pregnant I of course signed up for all the free items I could find online. Things have been trickling in and I want to share all the free products I've gathered so far. 

Huggies Bag

Just for signing up with Huggies they sent me a care package for baby! One pack of size 1 diapers, a onesie and a pack of wipes. Since I know diapers and wipes are expensive I will take any free ones I can. I know lots of mothers have opinions on different kinds of diapers but honestly I want to have a variety so I can test them out. I can always save extras for future babies or share them with friends if they don't work for us.

 

I also won't say no to free clothing. I know baby girl is going to go through a ton of clothes so having a onesie from Huggies might not be the cutest outfit ever but when everything else is covered in baby spit-up and poop I will gladly put her in a free onesie! 

Walmart Baby Registry Box

For just creating a Walmart Baby Registry (you can keep it private) you get a whole box of fun items!

The items we received are all picture above but include a pacifier, bottle, diapers, baby shampoo and wash, dry shampoo, baby food, and a ziplock container. 

Unfortunately these three items would expire by the time the baby was actually here so I did go ahead and donate them. 

Noobie Box

For the Noobie box you do need to pay a small shipping fee but I was so excited to get all the samples I had to do it! I thought the Noobie box had a few good things in there but I'm not sure it was entirely worth the shipping. I have heard great things about Water Wipes though so I think it's great to get a sample of them!

Baby List

The Baby List haul was by far the best of all the ones I received! There were four bottles, a few wipe packets, a couple of diaper samples and a bunch of other items. I would highly recommend the Baby List sample pack, even if they do charge for it.

Amazon Baby Registry

I thought I would be more impressed with Amazon's freebie bag. To be totally transparent you do need to create a registry and have a certain amount of items purchased off of it (I think it was $10) but since you are putting items on there you want purchased anyways it's not a huge deal. I did like the cute onesie and how it was gender-neutral and it will look really cute on baby girl!

There's also a freebie bag you can pick up at Buy Buy Baby but unfortunately the closest one to us is over an hour away so I'm not sure if we will ever make it up there to pick it up. 

I would also recommend to sign up for any diaper and formula programs you can find. They will send out free items or coupons which is great!

I should also mention that we did receive a bunch of coupons and will be using those going forward to purchase any items we might need.

That's all I picked up for baby freebies so far! If I manage to find any others I will definitely let you know. I also am thinking about sharing some more baby content- like a nursery update and what items we've picked up so far. If that's something you would be interested in definitely let me know!

Couponing Week of 11/19- Target, CVS, Bath and Body Works, and Walmart

Good morning everyone!

I'm here to share my couponing deals from yesterday at a few different stores. I always love couponing the week of Black Friday because CVS in particular knocks it out of the park every year. 

Since we're already chatting about it- let's start with CVS!

I basically purchase anything that I end up getting free at CVS so here's what I picked up.

Hershey Chocolate Bar 77 cents

I also used a $4 ECB from my last couponing trip.

I paid $6.30 out of pocket and received $8.64 in ECBs for my next trip, which will be later this week during the Black Friday event!


Next up a pretty lame Bath and Body Works haul...

The only deal I got at Bath and Body Works was a buy three get two free deal. I picked up I've items from the winter candy apple line. The two shower gels and two body lotions are gifts for the girls I have judging dance team tryouts and the body cream I'm keeping.

I paid $41.20 out of pocket or $8.24 per item- not a great deal but it's fine!


Next up, let's head to Walmart where I picked up quite a few items.

2 Strerlite Plastic Organizers $6.99 each
used 10% off Cartwheel
Paid $6.29 each

I paid $13.46 out of pocket.

Not a bad Sunday for couponing! I can't wait to head back out for some more deals! :)

What did you get couponing this week?

Freebies and Belated Gifts

Oh hey it's Friday! Are you ready for the weekend? Sometimes I think that short weeks end up being the longest!

Today I wanted to share with you some freebies I received in the mail recently as well as a few beauty items I've received lately. 

I love ordering free samples through Walmart.com because it is so easy! This dove shampoo and conditioner set came in the mail the other day and although the samples do take quite some time to actually arrive, they always show up! I love a good shampoo and conditioner sample set!

Pinchme is also a great platform for free samples. I received two boxes in the mail last week. They were filled with Truvia, dog food, tampons, and shower gel. I always sign up for any samples that I can and I share the things I don't need or use with friends or family.

My friend Kristin and I exchanged Christmas gifts last week and she gave me a whole slew of beauty products!

I love a good Lush bath bomb so I'm super excited to use that soon. The scrub Kristin says is awesome so I'm pumped to see how great it works. You also know I can't resist a great candle, and I love that she threw in the Lush sample of Dream Cream because that's one of my favorite products ever!


Do you have any new products? Free samples? Share your recent faves in the comments?!

Sample Box from PINCH ME

Happy Friday lovies!

I am more then ready to see the weekend come, it's been a long week at work and I am ready to relax and take it easy. I know I have a bit of organizing to do this weekend and some projects I want to work on as well, but first I want to show you what came in the mail today.

I've received boxes of samples from PINCH ME in the past. You simply sign up for their website and every so often they have free samples that you can request be sent to you. Once you get the samples and try them out you have to answer a few questions online to review them but that's all! Easy peasy.

Here's what I am trying this time around:

I love Gold Bond lotions and I do believe I have tried this one in the past. I'm excited to have a new little sample of lotion to go in my purse or desk at work!

Mouthwash is a staple in my dental hygiene routine and this little one will be great for overnights and travel.

Coffee is the first thing I think of in the morning. I usually hit up Dunkin Donuts in the morning, but would be willing to try out this Gevalia iced coffee.

I haven't tried these DenTek floss picks before but they seem like a handy item to have around.

A few bandaids, which I can always use!

I am willing to give these Summer's Eve products a try, because why not?


So that's what I received in my sample box from PINCH ME. You can get a sample box too by going to pinchme.com and signing up! No, this is not a promotion, I really do love this site and get nothing out of you trying it out!

Now, I'm off to volunteer at the Seafood Festival in my town. Have a great weekend everybody!
