HIFers are my Favorite People

Of course I follow a bunch of other cheap asses who like to blog...but one I have become addicted to checking daily is Hey, It's Free. They are a couple of really funny self-deprecating (my favorite humor) writers who post free giveaways and lots of other free junk they come across on the internet. Now, yes there is a lot of stuff on here that is clearly nothing I need, even if it it free, so beware not to sign up for every freebie you see, or say hello to a mountain of junk mail headed your way...however I have gotten a few really amazing gems from this site.

They always have free magazine subscriptions listed and so I now have my own free Metropolitan Home coming monthly. I love this magazine...must be something I learned from my cheap ass mentor...

Another great find was if you signed up for zappos in a 24hr window you received free next day delivery for life! Not too shabby.

But one of the most fun HIF deals I snatched just came in the mail the other day. I had completely forgotten about some weird link I went to on the site that took me to a hunting game. I had to shoot a bunch of deer (ala big buck hunter style) and then it asked for my address....

Tip: If you ever have to give your address to someone, when writing your last name put the initials of who you gave your address to with it. Example my Metropolitan Home subscription would read: Ms. Purple Monkey Bandit MH. Then when the junk mail starts rolling in I know that anything I receive with MH at the end of my name was sold by Metropolitan Home and I can call and verbally poop all over them. Genius tip from one of my roommates!

....so then a few months later (after I had completely forgotten about this game I played) I got a package in the mail. Inside I found my very own camo hunter's cap...ok so yes this is junk I don't need it...but I also received a $10 gift card to the Pro Bass Hunting Shop.My goal was to go onto the site and buy something that I wouldn't have to spend even a cent on. At first I was thinking I would end up with some pointless fishing tackle or something...but low and behold I found a sweet sweet miracle waiting for me in the clearance home section.

sorry my pictures are getting worse, digital camera battery depleted

Yes, I bought myself a $5 set of Blue Marlin Plates! And anyone who knows me, knows this is probably the most perfect fit. With shipping my order came to $9.97, so if anybody wants $0.03 to the Bass Pro Shop its all yours.

Good night cheap asses, I'm going to go eat tortilla soup out of a giant marlin bowl, jealous?!
