Free Advanced Screening: Weeds & The Big C
I know, I know, it’s been forever since I’ve posted any free screenings. It’s not from laziness, just a lack of decent screenings available across the country. It seems most studios are doing their screenings for through Gofobo and those screening passes are usually gone by the time I find out about them.
But, good old Entertainment Weekly hasn’t changed their ways!
This isn’t a movie screening, but instead an advanced screening for the Season 6 premiere of Weeds and the series premiere of The Big C. I’ll include trailers for each show below. I’m pretty excited about this because the boyfriend and I are huge Weeds fans and are also interested in The Big C.
Since this is an Entertainment Weekly Screening, you have to sign up and if you’re selected you’ll receive an email which is your pass (I’ve always received a pass from them).
The screenings are on Wednesday, August 11th. These are the cities available:
- Atlanta
- Baltimore
- Berkeley
- Cambridge
- Chicago
- Dallas
- Greenwood Village
- Bloomfield
- Houston
- Indianapolis
- Los Angeles
- Milwaukee
- Minneapolis
- New York
- Philadelphia
- San Diego
- San Francisco
- Seattle
- Frontenac
- Washington
This is an Entertainment Weekly screening, so it should be reasonably easy to get tickets for it, but these screenings are always WAY overbooked. You should probably plan on being there about 2 hours early, but since these are TV shows and not movies, it may not be as popular. Use your own disgresion.

Here’s the trailer for season 6 of Weeds:

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.

Free Amazon Prime Membership for Students
I’ve seen this deal posted everywhere, but I just kind of ignored it because I’m not a student anymore. Then this morning it clicked–”Duh! Many 20 somethings are students.” So for those of you still working hard in school, I thought I’d pass this along.
Amazon.com has a new program called Amazon Student
To sign up you need to provide your school email (.edu), the state you attend school, your academic level, and your major. Also you need to have an Amazon.com account, but you can easily sign up for that as well.
This is worth signing up for the free shipping alone, especially if you need to buy a lot of text books (I bought nearly all of my textbooks off of Amazon.com and a few off half.com & ebay. Much cheaper than the campus bookstore).
Looking for more ways to save as a college student? Check out Student Advantage & Upromise.
Not a student but want to save on shipping from Amazon? Find out how to never pay for shipping again & get free Amazon gift cards through Swagbucks or earn them on Mechanical Turk.
Free Samples Are Perfectly Travel Sized
I hate packing. It’s tough trying to fit everything in my suitcase and I’m always left wondering if I’m forgetting something vitally important.
Now since most airlines have checked baggage fees, that adds a little more challenge to it since I have to try to fit everything I need for a week in one carry-on bag. Talk about a challenge. Add to that the TSA’s rules for carrying on liquids and, well, this should be a game show.
This is just one of the many reasons I love free samples. Not only are they free, but these little bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and toothpaste are perfect for my carry-on needs. I just open up my bathroom cabinet (where I store all those little freebies) and pick out what I need for the trip.
They take up less space that my full size bottles and tubes and help me to avoid checking baggage. Plus I don’t have to buy trial sized bottles from the store. Sounds good to me.
If you want to be extra thrifty and eco-friendly, save the bottles and reuse them for future trips (this is especially good if you travel more frequently than you receive the samples).
Friday Freebies, Samples, & MP3s 06-25-2010
Where has the month of June gone? There’s only one week left and I feel like it just started. My main complaint about June is the weather. Oh my goodness, every weekend has been full of thunderstorms (or at least forecasts of thunderstorms) and then we’ve had crazy thunderstorms this past week (including a tornado warning). Plus the yo-yo hot and cold. I do not appreciate it.
But it’s Friday! Yay! (Though the forecast is rain and thunderstorms for the whole weekend. Plus we’ll be running errands and cleaning.) Let’s celebrate anyway with some freebies and free music!

Midweek Samples, Freebies, & Mp3s 06-16-10
We’re actually getting some sunny warm weather today and tomorrow before we have another chunk of stormy blah days.
It seems like a good day of freebies because of that. The boyfriend and I are going to a Cubs game for free tonight–not because I worked some awesome deal, but just because his boss has season tickets and is out of town this week. We’re not even sports fans, but the boyfriend has never been to a cubs game before, so we’re going.
Since I can’t share that awesome freebie with everyone, here’s some other freebies you can get in on:

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.

Go Out & Have a Fun & Thrifty Weekend Adventure
It’s Friday and the weekend is almost here. Have any fun plans for this weekend? No? Well, you’re in the right place, because I’m about to suggest a ton of fun and thrifty things for you to do this weekend.
One of the things the boyfriend and I enjoy doing the most is just going out and exploring the city of Chicago. We liked going to places we’ve never been before and finding awesome places in the nooks and crannies of the city. The best part is, we have a lot of fun in the process. What’s even better? Exploring is really cheap–a lot of times it’s even free.
No matter if you live in a big city or a small town, you should be able to do most of these near by (or within a reasonable drive). Check out these suggestions, and let me know if you have any of your own.
Visit a Museum, Zoo, Aquarium, or Event
Bank of America has it’s Museums On Us promotion this weekend (June 5th & 6th) for cardholders. That gives you free admission at select museums across the US.
Target is continuing it’s sponsorship of free and reduced price events. This year they’re boasting 2,200 free events and 120 museums, so you’re bound to find something free or cheap near you.
Check with museums in your area, many have free days or other ways to pay reduced ticket prices.
Visit a Park Near You
US National Parks have free entrance days to their parks again this year. This weekend (June 5th & 6th) there’s free admission to all their parks.
Look for parks in your own city or state to visit. Who knows what interesting things you may find (a few weeks ago we discovered a bird and butterfly sanctuary hidden away in one of our parks). Pack a lunch and a blanket and have a picnic or enjoy some hiking, bird watching, sight seeing, or swimming.
Discover a New Restaurant
I know going out to eat is usually not the best way to save money, but there are ways to lighten the costs. Restaurant.com has Gift Cards starting at $15 for $25 cards. Use code EAT and save 70% Off thru 6/7/10. Take that as an opportunity to go out and try a new restaurant.
Look for other specials and deals in your area–some restaurants have discounts for students, special buffets or lunch specials, or even coupons. Try a new cuisine and explore new flavors.
Go to a Farmers Market
I love farmers markets. There’s no easier way to purchase fruit and veggies straight from the field. And the prices are usually cheaper than the grocery store!
There’s usually more to farmers markets than just produce. There are fresh meats, canned goods, plants and seedlings, plus other organic and natural products. If you’ve never gone to one before, you should definitely check it out and stock up on some fresh produce.
Explore Thrift Store & Antique Shops
I love secondhand shops of every kind. Not only can you get a good deal on used items, but who knows what interesting treasures you’ll find!
Pick a passion–be it books, clothing, music, whatever–and you’ll probably be able to find a secondhand store that specializes in that area. If not, just go to a local thrift store and check out the merchandise.
There may be even more opportunities in your area (farms, lakes, beaches, camping grounds, etc), these are only a few examples. I’d love to hear any of your ideas as well!

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.
