Linky Love

(Is there a such thing as a pre-script instead of a post script? Because I just wanted to say that I love parentheses. In fact, I was noticing that I use them all of the time in every post. That is why I attempted to not use them at all yesterday. Today I am right back to (over)using them!)

Heather of the EO did this exact kind of post on Monday, even using the term Linky Love, and I swear, I already had this post ready to post for today. So instead of thinking that I am a big fat copy cat, just go over and visit her, because you will love her just as much as I do.



I really enjoy when other people link to their favorite blogs or websites. I have found many great new reads from other people's recommendations. Last week Melanie of Write Stuff posted some of her favorites, and a couple of them have become some of my favorites. Also, Shannon at Rocks in My Dryer posts links to some of the fun sites she found during the week. I keep a list on the right sidebar called "Other Cool Blogs" where some of my favorites are linked (I just added a new one last week; you will have to check it out).

If I am ambitious enough, this will become a semi-regular post, with different topics. In fact, I got a little excited and I already have a second one ready to go. I will post that one very soon. But for today, I want to share some cool freebie things I have found:

The blog: Good or Free Deals

Some of the freebies I have found on this blog lately that I love:
Every Friday, for the next I don't know how long, Mars brand is giving away something like 250,000 candy bars. Click here on Friday.

Every day until June 20, Burt's Bees is giving away 1000 free lip balms right here. One day I became a refresh nazi and I scored my free one. (They go fast.) Yippee!

There is another blog called A Giveaway Every Day. And it really is that simple - they give something away every day.

I'm loving this new Book Giveaway Blog. Except I don't want any of you to go over there and lessen my chances to win some books!

I just found a cute giveaway blog through Debbie from Cranberry Fries called Fabulous Fun Finds. Apparently it's really popular - I don't know how I haven't heard about it before.

Do you have kids who like Legos? You can get a free Lego Club Magazine subscription.

And the National Parks across the country are having three fee-free weekends during the summer. Click here for details.

This is all I have for now. Do you have any good freebie blogs or other links to share?

I just found the best site yesterday about gardening for the gardening impaired! I'm so excited to get started!

It's called Square Foot Gardening This site lays it all out for you so you can do it right.

I got so excited..clicking away (to visit all the great places you linked us to) I almost forgot to say hi!!

I've got nothing..no great links to share! Other than the ones you just shared with all of us! ;)

It's posts like these that make me wish I lived in America. (well, other things do, too, but you know what I mean).

Thanks for posting about my new blog! You are AWESOME Erin! ♥ HUGS ♥

Cranberryfries said...

Love it when I find great things from good friends. Thanks for the linky love!

Christa said...

I love Burt's Bees and I would love it even more if I could get some for free. Thanks!

What a spiffy post idea!

Alas, I avoid freebie and giveaway sites, because they mess with my patriotic spirit in a serious way. Being a Canadian online is hard some days. Pout pout.

Kristina P. said...

Yay for free stuff! I will check them out.

Adrienne said...

Can't wait to check out the links. I like Hip 2 Save too! Great for couponers and great deals.

Heather of the EO said...

What good stuff! (I mean, not me, the other free stuff.)

Thanks for the links, lady.

Laurie said...

These giveaway blogs are a dilemma. I want to share them with people because they're really cool, but I don't want to share them because it lessens my chances of winning!! (Like your comment about the book blog!) :)

Kristen said...

Thank you for the sites, I will hopefully remember to check them out (especially on Friday for the Mars bars).

Lee said...

I really do need to find some good freebie blogs!

LarryG said...

i 'love' linky love, great new term!

Jessie said...

A new blog suggestion you may want to check out. Go to my blog and click on "Cecily's" blog. She's my BFF's older sister, and is one of the best blog writers out there, in my opinion. She's also quite hilarious. I think you'd enjoy.

You're welcome!
Happy blogging.

Erin we both won the cookbook on that book giveaway blog! Go check it out, I think you gotta email her your contact info.

Cranberryfries said...

Nevermind :) I think you might have already known about it. Haha

Dawn Parsons Smith said...

Devri said...

Fiauna said...
