Friday Freebies, Samples, and Music Downloads 7-16-10
It’s been warm in Chicago this week. Very warm. I get to be inside with the air conditioner all day so it doesn’t make that much of a difference, but I feel like it should be 80 degrees out before 10AM. It will be hot this weekend as well. Sounds like a good excuse for a beach day to me.
Since it’s Friday, I figured it ’s a good day for a freebie round up post, but then when I started looking, I actually didn’t find as many freebies as I hoped. I threw in some rebates as well. I feel like I’ve seen less freebies online lately. Hopefully that will start to pick up again soon.

I’m sorry that there is still no gardening video. The boyfriend went to bed right after dinner last night. Hopefully he’s feeling a little better today and will be able to put up the video after work.
The sun is actually coming out today. It looks like we’ll have 2 days of good weather and then a weekend of thunderstorms and rain. Sigh.
It’s the middle of the week, so it’s freebies time. As a bonus I’m including some coupons and great free MP3 music for you to try this week.
Let me know of any other freebies or coupons I’ve missed.

AMC Movie Tickets for $4 in San Fransisco & Philadelphia
Update: Sorry, this deal is over.
Edit: 5 more cities have been added! This ends on 6/10/10, so buy today!
I know this weeks gardening video isn’t up yet–I’m sorry for that. The boyfriend has gotten sick (and I think I’m coming down with it too now), so when he got home from work last night, it was a “lay on the couch and watch TV” kind of night. Tonight I’ll remind him about the video, and hopefully we’ll get it up.
Since I’m starting to feel under the weather (and the weather outside is pretty dreary too), I just have one short post for you today. This is a nice deal.
I’m always boasting about how a good way to save money is look for cheap ways & deals to go to the movie theater or go to free movie screenings. I’m sure you’ve noticed lately that I haven’t really posted any free movie screenings. That’s because I honestly haven’t heard about any lately, or by the time I hear about them, they’re gone.
It’s a bummer and because of the lack of free screenings (and movies that actually pique our interest) the boyfriend and I haven’t been to the movie theater for a couple months. Our Netflix account has been put to good use though.
This is the kind of deal that would have us going to the theater more. Unfortunately it’s only available in San Francisco & Philadelphia, and it’s only available for the next 3 days.
This is part of KGB Deals, which (from the impression I’m getting) is similar to Groupon, where a deal is offered in specific cities for a limited amount of time or a limited amount of deals.
These tickets are good up to $12.50 value, and are valid at any AMC, Loews, Cineplex Odeon, Magic Johnson, and Star theatres. If you live in San Francisco or Philadelphia, make sure to jump on this. This price may be cheaper than the matinee, and you should be able to use the tickets for any showtime, 7 days a week.

It’s kind of gloomy out today. It rained this morning and is supposed to rain latter tonight. The nice thing is the weather is in the 70s and should stay that way, so I will save money not running the AC for the rest of the week.
What is it about rain that makes me so lazy? It’s a total mood dropper too. I just want to curl up in bed and sleep, but that’s not very productive.
Let’s bring up the mood with some freebies and samples and then jam out to some free music.

Happy Cinco De Mayo everyone! Did you know that Cinco de Mayo isn’t just about margaritas and tequila shots? It commemorates the Mexican army’s unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Think of that while enjoying your guacamole today.
It’s also the middle of the week, so how about some freebies and coupons to tide us over until the weekend?
It’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these posts, so let’s see what I can scrounge up on the web.
If you know of any other samples or coupons, let me know.

It’s Tax Day!
Well, tax day is here again, and if you haven’t filed your taxes yet, you better do that now! Here is how to file your taxes cheaply or free.
Did you get a big refund this year? Great! Congratulations. Now, be smart about how you use that money.
Did you know that if you get a big tax refund every year, you may actually be wasting your money by giving Uncle Sam an interest free loan. Seriously. You may want to check out that article from the Charlotte Observer.
But anyway, it’s Tax Day, which means there are freebies to be had! I did a post about this last year, so I figured I should do it again.

Jewel Shoppers: Earn Catalinas with Your Bucks
Mashup Mom turned me on to this originally, and I was able to finally try it out this past weekend, and I’m now a huge fan.
If you shop at Jewel, you have to sign up for this. YourBucks is a free pilot program where you register your Preferred Card and you earn back Catalinas to spend like cash on anything in the store.
All you have to do is sign up with your Preferred Card number and either your cell phone number or email address. That’s it! Then whenever you buy an item in the current offers, it automatically prints the Catalinas at the check out. New offers are loaded every two weeks.
This is a great way to save money without the hassle of clipping coupons and matching up deals. It’s pretty passive actually. All you have to do is know what offers are available and buy the items. Then you get the Catalinas, which save you money on your next trip. The trickiest part is just remembering to use the Catalinas, if you’re not used to couponing. But they work similar to cash, so it’s easy.
The way I’ve used Your Bucks so far, is when I’m making up my grocery list for the week, I look over the offers for items we need to buy anyway, then I look for items that match up with a coupon or sale for even more savings. I don’t do match-up posts like that here, but I highly recommended Mashup Mom for that. I read her blog every day to get the best deals.
Another great thing about these deals is sometimes you’ll get items for free, or even make money with them. For example, when we went grocery shopping this past weekend, we picked up a jar of Ragu for $1.99 and got back a $2 Catalina. We also bought a bottle of Suave shampoo for 89 cents and got back $2, so we made money on that!
Even if you don’t want to take the time to look for deals, I highly recommend you sign-up anyway. Once you’re signed up, you’ll get the Catalinas without any work from you. It’s passive savings, and it’s great.

Sorry things have been a bit slow around here lately, there’s a ton of things I’ve had going on besides Thrifty 20 Something (including a new project which may be of interest to the readers here, so stay tuned…).
I will be posting more frequently over the upcoming weeks. For now, let’s check out some freebies to celebrate the middle of the week.

Passes for free screenings of Hot Tub Time Machine are still available, so catch it before it’s gone.

It’s the beginning of the month, so there are new printable coupons and reset coupons available at Coupons.com, Redplum.com, and Smartsource.com.
Also, if you use UPromise, their eCoupons have reset as well, so make sure to activate those for passive savings.
