FREE sample, Dove doedorant

Deodorant is one of the things I like to stock up on when I see it at a good price -- or better yet, free. I never seem to realize mine is running out until it's empty, so it's great to have some stockpiled under the sink. Besides, it's not like it expires.

And I even love the sample sizes of this one, because they typically come with enough product to last you through several trips (I like packing the smaller ones when I travel).

Go here to sign up for your sample size of the new Dove Ultimate Beauty Care deodorant through Walmart. Your sample should arrive in about four weeks.

FREE CoverMate sample pack (you pay shipping)

Go here to get your free sample pack of CoverMate food covers.

You do have to pay $3.95 in shipping and handling, but in addition to four reusable covers in small, medium, large and extra large, you get a coupon for $1 off a future purchase.

According to the web site, the CoverMate has a band that stretches to fit "any size or shape plate, bowl or container." And since it's dishwasher safe, it'll save money over plastic wrap or foil.

FREE coffee!

Dunkin' Donuts is offering free 1.1 oz. samples of the new Turbo coffee, described on the company's web site as a medium roast coffee with an "extra boost" of Dunkin' Donuts flavor.

Go here to request your free sample (one per household, available to U.S. residents only).

Bounce is offering a free sample of its "4-in-1" dryer sheets through Sam's Club here. You don't have to be a Sam's Club member -- just leave that information blank when you fill out the form.

Your sample will arrive in the mail in about four weeks.

When you do as much laundry as I do, any free sample is a help... After all:

(pants + shirt + jammies + underthings) x 9 people = lots and lots of dirty clothes every day.

Free hot breakfast

This time of year, and especially in a year where we've seen so much snow here on the East Coast, I'm a fan of feeding the kids a hot breakfast whenever possible.

I'm an even bigger fan when I get that breakfast for free.

Go here to sign up for a free sample of Cream of Wheat. You can choose between Original, Healthy Grain and Sponge Bob.
