21 more things you can get free!
Get ready... get steady... and find out how to get your hands on 21 fantastic freebies!
It's that time again. Since we published our last freebies round-up, I've come across plenty more goodies that won't cost you a penny.
Just bear in mind that in most cases, you'll have to supply personal details. To stop promotional bumpf clogging up your regular inbox, I recommend you set up a separate email account specifically for freebie and special offer applications.
So without more ado, let's kick off with...
Photo editing software
I recently stumbled across an excellent photo editing package called the GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program).
Don't let the strange name fool you - this is a pretty advanced tool (which in many respects rivals Photoshop) and best of all, it doesn't come with a £600 price tag attached.
In fact, it's completely free, and you can download it here. It isn't as easy to learn how to use as Photoshop, but persevere - it's a small price to pay for such a powerful product.
Online
Looking for a free Wi-Fi connection close to you? FreeHotspot is a website that helps you pinpoint free wireless internet hotspots throughout the UK and the world. You can start searching by street, town or country.
Photo printing
Photo printing has become a very competitive business, with most online processors offering you 'X' number of free prints if you use them.
The FreePhotoPrinting comparison website helps you find the best deal on the market at any one time, by rounding up the discounts and offers all in one place.
At the time of writing, it looks like Pixum is offering the best deal on prints: New customers get 50 free digital prints each with this voucher code.
Babies and children
Aptamil is a company specialising in infant nutrition. Sign up to join its baby club and you'll get a free cuddly polar bear, as well as nutrition and pregnancy guides.
Register with Huggies here and they'll send you a free Little Swimmers nappy, designed to prevent your sprog having any 'unhappy accidents' while in the pool.
Finally, sign up here to get your free sample of Johnson's Baby Soothing Naturals cream, to help relieve your tot's dry skin.
Food and drink
There are several 2-for-1 restaurant deals operating at the moment, meaning you can get a free main course if you buy another. For your full rundown of BOGOF (buy one, get one free) food options, have a look at our latest Frugal food roundup.
Tipple-wise, you can currently get a free double vodka and Red Bull by registering here, printing off the voucher and taking it into Yates bar.
Just remember to read the small print (not all Yates' are participating) and, of course, this one is for over-18s only!
Health and beauty
There are loads of moisturiser and make-up freebies floating around at the moment; here's my pick of the best. At the time of writing, all are valid - but stocks tend to run out quickly, so you'll have to act fast!
You can currently get a full-size, double-ended mascara for free when you buy the September issue of Company magazine.
Pick up the September edition of In Style magazine and bag two free Body Shop Eye Definers.
Visit the Chanel website, fill in and print off the short form and take it to an approved Chanel stockist to claim your free, trial-size sample of Inimitable Chanel mascara. Click anywhere on the website to skip the extremely lengthy visual intro!
You can get a free double sachet of Expert Lift Day and Eye Cream when you visit the Nivea website. Just skip the intro and select 'sample' from the bottom toolbar.
Register here for your free sample of Garnier Ultra-Lift Pro X Double Action Eye cream (although I'm a bit scared of anything with a title that long!).
And finally, provide your details here to get a free sample of Max Factor Second Skin foundation, in conjunction with Boots.
Holidays and days out
If you're staycationing in the UK this summer, why not get your hands on this free Mini Rough Guide to Wales, courtesy of Go Do Wales.
At the moment, you can also gain free entry to Shakespeare's Birthplace in Stratford-Upon-Avon, when you produce this Enjoy England voucher.
It can be used by one adult or one child - but remember that only one voucher can be redeemed per household. It's valid until the end of October 2009.
