In an emergency, what do we need? An emergency radio and coffee, of course!
Here are some freebies I found today that may come in useful for you frugal hacks.
Free Emergency Radio from ProtectingAmerica.org (while supplies last)
Free Folger’s Gourmet Selections Coffee (free after you do a survey). I love Folger’s and the gourmet is rather over-priced at my local store, so I’m taking the time to do the survey– Folger’s is my caffeine drug treatment of choice, ha! Note: I also see that in order to get the Folger’s, you have to sign up to receive and/or purchase something else (like makeup or vitamins). So if you don’t like having to do that, then this sample is probably not for you.
Also, I found a few other freebies:
Get a free Handyman Club of America magazine and small toolkit set here. Be aware that this is an “opt-in” offer. After you get the first magazine, you will be sent a bill. If you do not want to continue receiving the magazines, you have to remember to send the bill back with “cancel” on it.
A free Earthbound Farm recipe brochure for organically-grown foods, here. They also offer free e-zines. It mostly relates to farming out in California, so I opted out of that.
Be sure to use your alternative email when signing up for these things. I use my “spammy” hotmail email address for stuff like this. And a lot of times I don’t give complete information– I may skip the email and phone number to see if the offer goes through. Many times, it does. Why give out more information than necessary? Who knows who may get your information. That last thing I want is to be spammed or phoned by a telemarketer or a drug rehab or something.
Hat tip to MoneySavingPro for the freebies heads up.
You’re swell!

I always love getting free coffee. Folger’s is both good and free. Thanks for the link.

Just keep in mind that giving your email address to places like these opens up your email to spamming. I’m already getting more spam. Use your email address reserved for “junk” purposes.
