Hi there Peeps,

With Christmas around the corner, I am sharing some free goodies that you can collect as well as some items for a penny yes that is right… there is a reccesion going on and I am here to do my bit 🙂

1. Nail polish
Pick up the December edition of Glamour magazine and you’ll get a free 10ml Nail Inc bottle of nail varnish, RRP £10. There are four colours to choose from. Obviously this does involve buying the £2 magazine, so it’s probably only worth it if you were going to buy a mag anyway.

2. Free meal
Buy one main course and get another free at Prezzo when you register here www.telegraph.co.uk/promotions/6415819/Food-offer-2-for-1-main-meals-at-Prezzo.html (via the Telegraph) and print off the voucher.

3. Free book
Are you a politics buff? If so, you can currently get a free book entitled ‘Ten Years On’ – all about what Britain would be like without the European Union. You can register for your free copy on the Great EU Debate website http://www.greateudebate.com/order/.

4. Free ice skating
One person can go free when another pays full price at Bristol ice rink:http://www.enjoyengland.com/ideas/special-offers/productdetail.aspx?SOSearch=1&Sec=Attraction&Reg=&Type=0&Duration=h&SpecialOfferId=849 Print off the voucher on the Enjoy England website. The offer even includes skate hire.

5. Free days out in Kent
There are currently loads of 2 for 1 entry offers on http://www.visitkentbytrain.co.uk/index/2-for-1-offers/ VisitKentByTrain. With one person paying the full price, another can bag free entry into Leeds Castle, Dickens World, The Canterbury Tales or loads of other destinations. Just bear in mind that you will have to show evidence of traveling to Kent by train!

6. Free music
Spotify http://www.spotify.com/en/ is an online music streaming service that lets you listen (legally) to thousands of free tracks and albums if you put up with ads in between the tracks. We7 http://www.we7.com/#/ is a lesser known venture, but works in a similar way.

7. Free bus travel
You could currently get a week’s free travel on FirstGroup buses. See if you’re eligible by visiting http://www.freebusticket.co.uk/ this page of the website and answering a few questions. Remember that the free bus ticket will only be for you (you can’t pass it on to a friend) and there’s a maximum of one ticket per household.

8. Free tea
Nip over to the http://www.yorkshiretea.co.uk/#/sample Yorkshire Tea website to register for your free sample of… yup… Yorkshire tea!

9. Free chocolate
Then zip over to the http://www.milka.co.uk/milka2/page?PagecRef=625 Milka UK website. Play the game to ‘unlock the secret of Milka’, then register to receive your free 100g bar of chocolate.

10. Free bread
To complete the run of free groceries, pop on to the http://www.hovisbakery.co.uk/soft-white/Default.aspx Hovis website and fill in the form to get your free Soft White loaf.

11. Free blog templates

12. Free Olay sample

13. Free Max Factor sample

14. Free three day gym pass
You can get a free three day gym pass to LA Fitness when you register http://www.lafitness.co.uk/vouchers.aspx?voucher=3daygympass2009 on this page of their website. Just remember you’re likely to be the victim of a serious sales push once you enter the building!

Finally, five things you can get for a penny:

Marks & Spencer is running another of its hugely popular Penny Bazaars this Friday (13th November). In the event – to mark the store’s 125th birthday – 15 items will be on sale for just 1p each. You’re each allowed to buy up to five 1p items, and the offer will run in all of Marks’ main UK stores (though not at airports, petrol and railway stations or motorway services). Items on sale include tea towels, mugs, notebooks, socks and chocolates, amongst others. It’s expected to be VERY busy, so get there early!

happy freeness !

Until da next Tyme!
