Freebie central: Free weekend events and other great freebies!

My freebie Friday post didn’t happen yesterday. I spent most of the day in bed or on the couch – my daughter and I have both been sick.

Here are some great free events that are going on this weekend:

Lakeshore Learning ~ Make and decorate your own art hanger from 11 am-3 pm on Saturday, July 24th (ages 3+)

Lowe’s Build & Grow Clinic ~ Make a free leash hanger on Saturday, September 11 from 10-11 a.m.  Register for this Build & Grow Clinic here.

Toys ‘R Us ~ There is a Thomas and Friends play date on Saturday, September 11th from 11 am-1 pm.  Enjoy free giveaways, story time, and coloring fun (wish we were feeling better around here because my son would absolutely LOVE this!)

Walmart Special Events ~ This weekend, my Walmart is having a Game Time Sampling Event sponsored by Conagra (including pizza, snacks, and other “crowd pleasing appetizers) and a Kellogg’s Fiber Plus and Special K event.  Find out what events your Walmart is having this weekend here.

Here are some freebies that you can take advantage of:


Blockbuster Express ~ If you have a Blockbuster Express near you (check for locations here), you can get a buy one, get one free rental through 9/12 when you enter the code DVDFUN1 (so it’s like paying $.50/each!)  You can also get a code for a free Redbox rental when you rent one.  Details are here.

Pampers Gifts to Grow ~  There are lots of new Pampers Gifts to Grow codes right now.  Make sure you add them to your account!  Someone asked me the other day what I use them for.  I usually wait until they have a gift card available and cash out (I’ve gotten Red Robin and Gap gift cards this way) or I use them to get the $3 diapers.com codes.  If you haven’t signed up before, you can sign up here and get an additional 50 points!
