Hi There,

Hope you are doing good. I am Susan Smith from PromoDirect.com.

My inquiry is regarding placing a text ad on your Blog http://tightfistedmiser.com/2009/01/02/five-things-you-should-get-for-free/. Probably, under the right navigation or in the footer. If you allow us to have a link, what would your fees be for one year?

We are also interested in sponsored guest post, if you agree. We have our team of creative writers who will write the post.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Best Regards,
Susan Smith

I agree that pens are free but it always seems that the pens that I get for free run out of ink faster than the ones that I can refill. The free ones do serve a pupose… when someone needs one, I give them one of the free ones I have received and don’t care if I get it back or not!

There is less waste when you have a refillable pen as well!

Just so you know I went mommysavesbig.com and they offer something free from the easybakeware company. It is NOT free. It cost $1.00 to ship and they automatically charge your credit card $15.00 a month!!

UR- Air is good, I didn’t think to include that. I already get sex for free(other than birth control costs). I’ll have to pass on the blowing ass.

You know what else is free…. Air you can find it anywhere.
Sex is harder to get, but if you’re willing to put in the time to go out on a week night, you just might find that woman or man that’s been drinking heavily because they’ve down on their luck and can’t say no to a inviting smile an a chance to get a free STD.
Also another free item is blowing ass. This is perfect to do when you see some one getting a little greedy with the free air. All you have to do is walk passed the person taking advantage of the free air, pull one cheek apart(It’s called the one cheek sneak, a silent technique developed by high school girls that needed to honk ass but didn’t want to give up their position.) and give them a nice gust of hot garbage right to the dome.

Paper clips! You find them all over the place.
Scrap paper: What ELSE do you do with junk mail? (Or, in my case, printouts from courses I’ve finished.)
“Stationery”: For those who still write (well, scribble) notes on paper, use the other sides of junk mail, or those printouts.
Plastic bags: I reuse bread bags, produce bags, bagel bags, etc.
Wrapping paper: Use the Sunday funnies, or maybe some of those free maps.

Oh – there are so many freebies! If you are diligent enough, you could very likely get away with using just freebie toothpaste and shampoo forever! And there are also so many free magazine giveaways nowadays (try Valuemags and Mercury mags).

I remember free road maps at service stations – but even now there are free state maps and area maps from tourist agencies and transit maps if you ask…And gratis area guides, too. I collect them for my visitors and friends.

There are also all kinds of things with ads on them – note pads, post-its, pencils, erasers, pencil sharpeners, cups, keychains, to to mention visors, etc. – the list of gifties goes on and on. Look for them at the next fair or convention or meeting you go to…And you can recycle the padded bags that your freebies COME in numerous times (otherwise they cost $.)

There are also free calendars that are sent to you – or which you can print out from the net – and free books you can download from sites like Gutenberg –

My sunglasses and reading glasses come from the 99 Cent Store – but I did get a lovely umbrella from a travel gathering that has Tucson on it…

You can also get free copies of newspapers at fairs when they are trying to get subscriptions –

And free water bottles with advertising on them!

I also supplement my skin care regimen with all the lotion samples I get from my freebie sites (and pick up at health food stores)I have a month’s or more worth – and they are also great for traveling….Ditto soap samples.

There are also lots of items for people with kids – coloring books and activity books and all sorts of stuff…

Now to mention samples of supplements – And free t-shirts, too!
