yeah, it's been slow this week. there must've been a lull period for deals a couple months back.. all I got was a dorky Compac T-shirt, 2 cliff bars, and some gizmos from x10.com to make it so I can turn on/off lights in the house with a click of the mouse. it's been kinda weak this week.

Am I the only one, who's stop watch beeps every hour(at the same time)? and the alarm went off last night...and even after hitting the reset button...it would go off again a few minutes later. SO I got sick of the darned thing and took the battery out. This thing is a strong reminder of the saying "be careful what you ask for...."

SAS Maglight. Disposable camera. Palm pilot case. Two tickets to Magic Mountain. And not free, but a great deal none the less, two Motorola TA250's for under $50.

Where are all my t-shirts?? I should be getting at least one a day!

T-Shirts are always to the slowest to come, but boy, when they come, they come all at once. I recieved like 10 T-Shirts in one week once.

Speedfreak
07-27-2000, 12:25 AM
Well hopefully it will be that way for me, MAstaYoda.

I have signed up for at least 6 and I haven't gotten any shirts yet. http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/frown.gif

I might have to learn how to use a washing machine. http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/frown.gif

Well, it wasn't really free, now was it, ugly. http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/smile.gif I imagine you probably had to pay for it. Sorry, no deal!

how much junk mail /junk phone calls do you people get?

i hesitate signing up for all the freebies because i'm afraid my mailbox will fill up.

Jenny
07-27-2000, 01:38 PM
I don't have a credit card, so we don't get to order much that isn't free, but I did get the MyGolf.com hat the other day and was pleased. I love to wear it, and my son is wearing it all the time! lol (Of course, at 2 1/2, it's way too big for him, but he even likes to sleep in it! lol)

att
07-27-2000, 01:49 PM
you gotta make sure you have a mailbox just for junk, otherwise all this deal hunting will drown out your other mail. how many email addresses do you guys have? i dont deal hunt like i used to, so i'm down to 5.

Tupacboy, where did you get free viagra, I find that hard to believe as it is a prescription drug (unless they sent a coupon), and see now you just need the AstroGlide and a fun weekend ensues

decon
07-28-2000, 04:27 AM
I received the Heinz ketchup pin(cheap),
the staples business cards, the StorCase

lisu24

All that I got was a 3com watch. This has been a pathetic week for recieving free stuff.

siph
07-28-2000, 03:26 PM
hmm this week hasnot been to bad considerign i just started ordering a few weeks ago
free camera from emories
free custom post it notes
free iron maiden CD-just wanted to hear it
free six flags ticket

i would consider that a killing because ijust started signing up for free stuff compulsively about a month ago ro the 3 of july rather when i started my summer internship. The guy on the computer before me left this as his start page and i have been barely working because of it
most people assume i am busy when they see me on the omputer anyways

Bluto
07-28-2000, 04:52 PM
How much free stuff do you guys send in for each day? I normally only do 3 or so a week, but I only get 1 thing every three weeks or so.... Still have never gotten a shirt.... http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/frown.gif

07-28-2000, 08:37 PM
Considering TofuNinja is my roommate, I am the one who got the Newsweek subscription which makes me wonder if any of you remember what site we signed up at? Anyways, as for the stop watch, yes it beeps every hour for me to. Just box it or put it in a drawer when you sleep if it bothers you. In addition, I also got my free Six Flags Magic Mtn ticket. Watch it guys the ticket expirecs Sept. 24, 2000

I got a free subscription to Popular Mechanics yesterday and the *free* hands free earpiece/mic from Sprint today.

pennypinch
07-28-2000, 10:17 PM
Jeez, let's see. The Sprint earpiece, the ridiculous Iron Maiden CD MAILED FROM THE UK, bunch of clothes from Big Words, four cans of shaving cream, rejection from Snap servers, disposible camera...I think that's it for this week. Not too bad, all things considered.

Woohoo, My free Rosary came in today, That was fast, and also the Kraft Origami Paper came in. Fitting I guess, me and my girl just watched Pokemon 2000, had dinner at New Tokyo and then the paper. A very Japanese day for Tofu Ninja.

$10 Red Lobster certificate from MyPoints
Another $10 Red Lobster cert from MyPoints (they screwed up!)
$25 Red Lobster cert from 800GiftCertificates (through More.com)
