Free music festival MP3 samplers.

Couldn't make it to Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, or Austin City Limits this year? Well, at least you can download the free music samplers for some listening pleasure - minus the huge crowds and $8 beers. Hmm, suddenly this doesn't sound so bad...

• Lollapalooza
• Bonnaroo
• Austin City Limits

(right-click each track and choose "Save As" to download.)

(Thanks, Hey It's Free!)

Target: Free Garnier Moisture Rescue Gel Cream.

Target is getting into the sample game with a free sample offer for Garnier Moisture Rescue Gel Cream. This stuff is somewhat pricey in stores, so trying a free sample first couldn't hurt.

I got quite a few samples in the mail while I was on vacation, which was a fun bonus to come back to, so between using up body wash and lotion samples and eating snacks, my day is fully booked.

40% off everything at the Gap today.

Here's a pretty nice coupon for 40% off everything at the Gap, even sale items. I've been looking for some fall work wardrobe staples, so maybe it's even worth suffering the horror of the fitting room for such steep discounts... maybe.

Free romance e-books from Borders.com.

This dreary weather doesn't show any signs of lifting, so you might as well give in and make it a full day of couchbound, novel-reading, napping coziness.  Borders.com will get you started with a selection of free romance e-books for your downloading pleasure. (If you don't have Borders' e-reader device, you'll need to download the Borders e-books app, but it's free.)

Now the only question is which to read first, Distracting the Duchess or To Tempt a Knight? 

Borders: 40% off one item.

Nothing says "welcome back" like a 40% off coupon from Borders!  Just because I've been hemorrhaging cash for a couple of weeks doesn't mean I don't have a wish list, after all.  My to-read stack got pretty depleted while I was gone, so maybe it's time for a little something?

Free Annie's hippie lunch bag.

Back when I was in school, this organic cotton lunch sack would totally have marked you as a social-outcast child of hippies, but I guess times have changed. Now it's cool to reuse, and Annie's does have that cute bunny-shaped mac 'n' cheese... or you could just type in the numbers 013562300983 and 013562302109 if that's how you roll. It's your karma, man.

Free bottle of Advil.

Well, readers, you may have noticed that I haven't been posting for the past couple of weeks... and that's because I took all the $$$ I've saved up and headed on vacation! But I'm back now and ready to get back on the freebie wagon. Are you?!

Getting back to regular life routines is already giving me a headache, so it's a good thing that Advil is offering 500,000 free bottles of painkillers when you sign up via online form. That should just about do it, I think (along with the contents of my duty-free bag).
