I love getting great mail and even more, when I forget where some of these freebies came from. Today was outstanding. Mostly because the freebies outnumbered the “You Must Pay…” by ONE! :)
::: Klondike Potatoes Shirt (??? – must have been free)
::: American Girl Catalog of some kind
::: Target Beauty Bag – Yeah!
::: Mary Kay Samples
::: Miso Easy Samples
::: Town & Country, Redbook, Family Circle, Bon Appetit, etc etc – Newsweek, Martha Stewart – many I won’t have time to read.
Anything special in yours?
Wendy C. let us know today on Facebook that she took some time 3 days ago to write to Chobani Yogurt – and it paid off!
Wendy said: Wrote to Chobani 3 days ago and got this in the mail today! Wow! 3 free 6oz qs and 3 – $.30/1 6oz qs Chobani magnet and a handwritten card!!! How freakin awesome:)
Writing to them is fairly easy – use their online form, and tell them, in just a few sentences, what you like about their product and how you use it at home.
Not all companies will send you coupons – but if you read past experiences from other readers, you can get a good idea of what companies traditionally will.
Over this past year, I have had a running spreadsheet – every time I, myself, get a positive response, or you do, I have logged it on my sheet.
You can find that sheet here, and use it to contact companies that might send you the same. Do note: companies don’t always send the same things to everyone, so keep that in mind.
Then, contact companies using this spreadsheet here – it’s a clickable PDF – start at “A” and work your way down the list – if you haven’t contacted companies in the past, it’s rather easy – being honest is the best route.
Let us know how you do – we all love to hear who responds, and who (may not!)
Thanks, Wendy C.!
List has been updated with the family wish lists. Please understand that they do not know they are being assisted – each have been nominated by a friend or family member.
With Christmas upon us, many of our readers have expressed interest in adopting a few families for the Holidays. Just a few weeks ago, there was a small group of us that started talking about the opportunity; over the last week I have been in touch with several folks that have come forth with many ideas, options, and even volunteered their time to help make this a reality for us as a group.
This will be the first year that we tackle this project as a “Group” – I am hoping that we can make it special. I realize not everyone is in that same place – but those of you who are, we’d love to see you participate as well.

This is not only something pretty amazing, it’s something that I have received – when Dave was in in Iraq he sent me one of these – I was so thrilled 
The qualify of my picture is rather poor……… and our picture is Black and White – but the quality of the canvas itself was amazing. The picture is of Dave and I way back before we had kiddos – if I had to guess it was back in 2000.
I am posting this again because we do have a handful of readers with a Spouse that is serving overseas on a current deployment – if this fits your situation, I hope you find it helpful.
Canvas on Demand is working to support the troops that are serving overseas…and their wives (or husbands) holding down the home front by honoring them with a FREE 16×20 PixelPainted Canvas for their spouse on their anniversary.
Check out what they said:
Canvas on Demand appreciates our troops! That’s why we started Operation Hi Honey, a program that gives hundreds of our deployed military men and women a free fine-art canvas that will be presented to their spouse on their anniversary. The beautiful 16″x20″ PixelPaintedTM canvas, created from a favorite photo, has the look and feel of a traditional custom painting. It’s a personalized keepsake that their Honey will hang in a place of honor and cherish for years to come.
So if you are a deployed member of the United States military and want to surprise your Honey on your anniversary, you can apply. Recipients will be selected randomly each week, and the canvas will be delivered to your Honey in time for your anniversary. Be sure to apply at least 6 weeks before your anniversary date. All submissions and photos will be posted on our website and can easily be forwarded by email to friends and family.
Go HERE to apply – remember to apply at least 6 weeks before your anniversary. Canvas on Demand will select recipients randomly each week and deliver the canvas in time for their anniversary.
In addition, Canvas on Demand also offers deployed Soldiers a way to thank their mom for Mothers Day by offering them a FREE Fine Art Canvas printed from a favorite photo – it’s called “Operation Hi Mom!” – you can also apply for that offer HERE!
Please feel free to share this with those who are near to you that may be serving in this capacity – or, with family members that are close to those serving overseas as well.
