This rare Coldstone Creamery coupon is part of a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the television show E!. Entertain-mint is a special flavor Coldstone Creamery is selling in honor of the milestone. The flavor has brownie chunks and fudge mixed with mint ice cream.

Get a coupon for a free bag of popchips at Jamba Juice when you "like" the new popchips fan page on Facebook. Once you do, you'll see a link to the coupon, which you can print right then and there. You can only print the coupon once, so make sure your printer is connected and working. You won't get a second chance. The coupon should be good through May 31, 2010. I wouldn't wait too long as this is a really good freebie and is only available for a limited time. Find a Jamba Juice near you.

Get a free movie for one night at a Blockbuster Express kiosk using coupon codeGL14A. It expires June 30, 2010. Too early to see Sex and the City II in one of these kiosks, but the machines are stocking Invictus, Enemy Among Us, Dear John, and The Road. On the Blockbuster Express website, click on Movies to see what else they have. The free rental is for one night, which usually costs $1. If you keep the free movie longer than 24 hours, your credit card will be charged another buck. You do not need a Blockbuster account to use their kiosks. If you want another free rental code for Blockbuster Express, join their email list. Newbies get a free rental for joining!


Get a pair of free thong underwear from American Apparel when you sign up for their email list. Joining means sharing your email address, date of birth, zip code and sex. American Apparel will send you occasional emails, which you can tailor to your interests by choosing topics from nine categories such as special deals, coming soon, and kids styles. After you sign up, American Apparel will immediately email you for your address and phone number. You can choose which size you want to receive, from XS to XL. Styles and colors will vary. The freebie underwear will show up in a few weeks, so be patient. It's unclear how long this freebie will last. I'm guessing a day or so!
