Mailbox of Goodies: the squished edition

UPDATE: Oopsie...it seems like I jumped the gun - I have now updated the post with a listing of new freebies!  Sorry about that...I'm getting rusty after my break, sorry!

Due to my impromptu vacation, I've neglected my freebie roundup and Mailbox of Goodies this weekend, and I got some pretty cool stuff too!

It was an unexpected $6 payday, courtesy of Caregivers Marketplace. I got $3 from the three packs of Huggies jumbo packs that I bought back in August during the CVS sale, and the other $3 came from old fish oil purchases. I just realized that they give $1 back for Nature Made fish oil, and since the dogs take a fish oil tablet with each meal, I just went through my old receipts and dug out 3 of them to send with the Huggies rebate.

The only free sample that I got was the XCID Ultra, but there's nothing special to report since it didn't even come with a coupon. My best freebie of the week has got to be the free photobooks that I got from Shutterfly. I won them through the Quaker Life Cereal sweeps that I learned about from Freebies 4 Mom. The prize was for one free photobook and one free shipping credit, but for whatever reason I ended up with 3 free photobook credits and 2 free shipping credits. I sent one photobook to my mother-in-law, and I ordered two for myself. They arrived via UPS and I didn't have to pay a single penny for them!

I now have a total of three photobooks from Shutterfly. I love these things - they are of the highest quality and are so easy and fun to create. I'm running out of room to display all of these photobooks, especially since my husband got me a digital picture frame, but my parents, grandmother, and uncle/family will be visiting us for Thanksgiving, so I'm sure one of them would be more than happy to take them off my hands. I love free stuff that I can use as gifts!

I got all of the above on Saturday, and of course Sunday was an off-day for postal delivery...but I did get my coupon for a free bag of Purina Good Bites dog treats from the paper.  Chloe and Chip will be very happy.  Now if only that convinced them to grow thumbs, stand on their hind legs, unlock and open the front door and the screen, and fetch the newspaper...a mom can always dream, right?

Since today is Columbus Day, we didn't get mail delivery either.  But apparently UPS still works, so I got the $0.64 stocking stuffer that I ordered for my husband.  Except that it wasn't a stocking stuffer because I gave it to him tonight.  He got me a digital picture frame as a late anniversary present, as if the spa trip wasn't enough...so I figured that the least that I could do was to give him this instead of hiding it away somewhere for a whole 2 months. 

I'm expecting tomorrow's mail to be FULL of goodies, but we'll see!  My mailbox has been very lonely lately, for whatever strange reason.  I'm afraid that I haven't been able to find any free photobooks for your requesting pleasure, but here's a couple of other freebies:

• Aveda Dry Remedy Moisturizing Masque (printable)
• Internet Safety Kit
• Velvet Milk sample
• Walmart: PUR shopping list pad
  
• Walmart: Always Infinity sample
• Free tape measure
• Free candle sample (requires email)
• Redken Real Control sample (first 3,000) - Thanks Heather!
  

Please note that these are the freebies that interest me and that I have requested - it by no means represents all of the freebies out there.  I only request things that are of use to me or someone I know, or would be of use to my readers - if you know of any freebies that you would like to share, please email me!
