Free "Junk" with Purchase?



Hooray! Free gift with purchase, how exciting. We have all gotten them, and it really does feel like you have just won the lottery. Free gift with purchase, Happy Dance! When they hand it to you, truth be told we are giddy!

But Wait. Once outside and on further review, what the heck do I do with this free gift with purchase. Surly I can think of something, its so cute, and my gosh its free. As I drive home I think of all the things I can do with it, I am telling ya the excitement is quite overwhelming. The thoughts are all over the place, maybe in the bathroom it will look nice, or the spare room, oh I know, a tote, It can be used as a tote. Perfect!


Well, not really liking the color orange, and a tote, who the heck carries a square kinda hat box thingy as a tote?


Oh, I know I can put my paper weight in it, see I knew I would find a use for it. But why would I want to put a paper weight in this thing?



There has to be a use for it somewhere?
But I can't seem to find one, so I think I will just chuck it, such a disappointment, my free gift with purchase, gone with a flash!

Oh no, it does not even fit in the garbage can, so now I really have to find a use for it. It should really be called "Free Junk with Purchase".

I have to think, give me minute.......maybe two.....




Got it! Well its better than nothing! Unless someone has a better idea, I am certainly open to options.
:O)

    Good Morning, VIG, Tina, Diane, Carol, IBB and everyone dropping by later.

    Diane, sorry you didn't get 1st and Tina, happy that you did.

    Free stuff? If it's free, you're going to wind up paying for it one way or another.

    Morning Glories!

    Congrats on first Tina! Dianne you were so close!!

    Viggy made top ten!

    Hi IBB!

    What is is about free? It is so exciting and then I bring free crap home and it sits until I finally decide to donate it to a thrift store or give it away! LOL But I am always compelled to take anything that is a give away. Right now I have a key chain and a refrigeration thermometer and a rubber mat jar opener in my purse! Hey they were free!

    Sending much love and condolences Joeys way.

    MEK thank you for the Sacbarb update. Still sending up prayers for her and her son.

    I will post about my weekend or maybe do a blog when I can assimilate all of it and when I am done playing catch up from this weekend!

    Today I am on the run have a dentist appt. in a bit to have that cracked tooth fixed.

    Good Morning Hooters!

    Congrats on 1st tina~

    I love free stuff too. But I end up giving it away most of the time. I never seem to find much use for them anyway. How many totes (not ugly orange though-sorry Carol) can one have?

    I am also a sucker for " With purchase you can buy this _____ for only 5.99 more, and its a 40.00 dollar value!" Sure it is.....

    Dianne- did you get the necklace yet? I mailed it out on Friday to you.

    Hope everyone has a great day.

    Good Morning Tina - First again.

    I have a new cleaning lady coming this morning. I will have to supervise. I will be back this afternoon. Have a great day.

    Good Morning!

    CAROL: I'm a sucker for Buy one get one free offers. It doesn't matter if I'll never be able to eat the second box of cereal..or if I shouldn't eat that second candy bar. Oh boy a Free T-shirt..so what if it's not my size..it's FREE! Just like you, I'm thrilled when I get something free and within a couple days I'm not exactly sure what to do with it.

    Looks to me like you just might have the biggest pencil holder I've ever seen! ;)

    LOL@Carol! Your blog reminds me of a telemarketing routine I went through on Sunday. The TV infomercial was for a device to clean car windows. Since I'm washing Bullet myself, I called and ordered it. Then, the tape started to wind... making me listen to more and more offers for more and more things, each one less related to car cleaning products than the last. It was a voice recognition site, and when I would say "NO" to the offer, the automated responder was undaunted. It would be "We can understand your reluctance to purchase this product. But consider this... and "she"d be off and running on exactly the same spiel for the same product.

    After this went on for about 5 minutes, I hung up in disgust. Will I get my window-cleaning device? Who knows! LOL!

    cpgem - I always wait until Clinque has their "free gift with purchase" - problem is - all the free stuff is NEVER in the actual colors that match your colors!! oh well....... you get a tacky makeup bag to hold it all in!!!

    I'm sure your lovely tote would be someone's 'treasure' after you donate it to Goodwill!!

    Jodi- bring over the Clinique freebies- they may be my color! Whenever I buy my makeup I feel they should give me something for those prices!! MEK- I have all those little make-up bags too, lime green, orange, clear with orange stripes, etc.... LOL

    Mr. Goldie was with me when I stopped at the Clinique counter a couple of weeks ago and bought 2 foundations. I thought he was going to pass out at the price!

    I need my Mommy.... I have a sore throat and I feel miserable and my Mommy is gone for the summer. Anyone want to take over and make me feel better??

  38. Dianne/DenverJune 16, 2009 at 1:04 PM

    Ok..done with the 5 min presentation and now just hanging out at my daughters for awhile as she works at her job.

    GOLDIE: I haven't received the necklace yet...maybe today. I would be willing to be your "mom" while you are sick but you have to take back that you called the color orange ugly! I have been a mom and grandmother for quite some time so I can rock you and make you tea and give you medicine. Actually, I have some good medicine from the dentist that will put you to sleep and you won't even know you have a sore throat...see what a good substitute mom I am?

    CAROL: Do you have any small kids around? Girls love those kind of totes for their doll clotes or just their junk. My SIL gets mad that I am always bringing something like that to the girls.

    MEK: We like the color orange, remember? Yea, tonight is the Country Music Award show..finally, something to watch.

    JODI AND ZONA: The dentist did more drilling and changed the anti-biotic...we will see what that will do. Oh and BTW ZONA, I cooked a real dinner not just from a bag. I got tired of Mr D asking, "what do you want to do about dinner?"

    ReplyDelete
  39. Dianne/DenverJune 16, 2009 at 1:23 PM

    BEAR: Ok, up and dusted off..I had TINK's cleaning lady dust me.
    Hope you get your window cleaning device.

    TINA: You should have seen how Kayla looked with her glasses, hair in a bun, long skirt and very nervous. She did a good job and had two pages to try and remember..she just needed to talk louder. Tomorrow they are having a was museum at school for friends and family. They will all be there with a button on them and you push it and that child will do their speech. So I guess hubby, daughter and myself will be at the school tomorow but at least it is afternoon this time! One little boy is John Denver..cute and he sings.

    Back to the free things: One time (many years ago) my ex and I went to a buy land speech so we could get a 9" b&w tv. We got it alright and bought some usless land too. I don't ever remember using that tv (or the land either).

    Guess what I learned today!!!

    85% of cattle, hogs, and horses on a livestock farm are artifically inseminated.

    This is how it is done............

    ReplyDelete
  49. iteachJune 16, 2009 at 4:45 PM

    The male animal mounts a "dummy". His thingy is in the dummy's hole. Then the farmer puts a sleeve on the thingy. When the male animal is done the farmer takes off the sleeve. Next they take the semen out of the sleeve and freeze it.

    ReplyDelete
  50. iteachJune 16, 2009 at 4:46 PM

    Now when the female animal's cycle is ready the farmer with use a syringe to inseminate her. The farmer actually sticks his whole hand up into her to get the syringe in the right spot.

    I just read the blog and all the comments. That's great "after nap" reading. It's good to wake up with a smile.

    Iteach - You taught me something new today. At my age that is an accomplishment. I always wondered how the farmers 'do it'.

    I am not that interested in 'buy one get one free' but I love getting lots of Air Miles with my purchases. I have enough toilet paper in my garage to last through the next millennium.

    I am still tired from organizing the cleaning lady. She is also coming Thursday and Friday mornings. That should be easier. She works hard and I have a nap. What's wrong with this picture.

    Loved the blog today Carol, and I would have put the orange carry-on in the Good Will bag.

    I HATE GETTING FOADED!

    I finished "The Necklace today, what a wonderful book!

    DIANNE-GETTING-OUT-OF-COOKING-IN-DENVER - Glad the pain is less. And it's always better if someone else is willing to do the cooking!!

  144. Shirley(NCC-1701)June 16, 2009 at 8:56 PM

    Good evening everyone!

    Congrats on 1st Tina! Glad to see you survived the weekend.

    Iteach your agricultural posts are very interesting, as was your blog. I taught a cake decorating course at the local Community College, about 7 or 8 years ago. I only had five students and one dropped out.

    K-girl I always pencil in your 69's. You are actually only 4 away from tieing EBJ. So keep up the great marching.

    Carol your free orange box is ugly. I'm sorry, but it is. I would do the same as Mo suggested or keep it for when you need prizes for a party game.

    I am careful with the "buy on get one free" sales. Having worked in a grocery store for over 20 years I know it isn't always a bargin.

    I hope everyone is well and if you aren't (((((HUGS))))).

    Tomorrow is my younger sisters 36th birthday so we are taking mum and going out for supper. I helped mum make her a cake yesterday, so we will come back after for some Chocolate Miricle Whip Cake...yummy!

    My older sister went on a 10 day cruise up the Saint Lawrence River yesterday. She was really excited about going. Tinka she is on a Holland America cruise ship. I believe that was the same cruise line you were on wasn't it?

    I said one of the bloggers is talking about her orange box!

    He just laughed and said oh ok!

    Carol's orange box could be a great White Elephant gift.

    I have a PENIS PUMP that I got as a White Elephant gift a few years ago. I tried to get my mom to take it for a gag gift for the hostess of a party she was going to, but she didn't think it would be appropoo.

    Maybe I should have given it to Bear when he was here last year?? lol

    I asked MR. EBJ if he would like it, and he said yeah right!

    Now he could very well have secretly wanted it, but I doubt he'd admit it LOL!!!!!!!!

    I almost threw it in the Good Will bag, but I decided to save it, the right person to give it to will come along! he he he.

    Tina, no I didn't do "it" yet like in the book, but I think it's a great idea!!

    OMG.. those NJ housewives are total cafones.. I can't believe what I just saw.. OMG..

    FYI.. Cafone or Gavone:
    there is no primary definition for the italian word "cafone". it is spelt G-A-V-O-N-E. it only sometimes sounds like "cafone" due to different dialects. However, the word "gavone" by definition is an embarassment to themselves

    ReplyDelete
  174. night.owls.sbJune 16, 2009 at 11:15 PM

    I also found this...

    Cafone" is an Italian word that has found its way into American English slang. It was originally a neutral Italian word meaning a poor peasant. However, in Italian it evolved to mean an uncouth, boorish, ill-mannered person, and that's also what it means in American English slang.

    Tina on a serious note, I would still report it to the police or the cell provider you use. He could be blaming his daughter for his perverse acts. We are all adults here and use mainly innuendo, but for Twin 1 to get that is just wrong, be it from him or his daughter. Kudos to her for bringing it to you, but if it is him who else is he sending that crap to?

    I vote with some of the others that you still report it.
