Sorry this is late today but it was hard to find some decent freebies for today.  I try to only list freebies that are truly free.  I hate coming across a great ‘freebie’ and then finding out that I have to pay shipping & handling, or complete some sponsor offer before I’m eligible for the so-called freebie.

Some freebies I list do require you to sign up for a newsletter, but I try to limit those to well-known companies like Betty Crocker, Procter & Gamble, etc.

Anyway, here’s today’s list.  I hope you find something you can use.

As always, offers are available in the United States only unless otherwise noted.  All offers listed on this page were available at the time of listing.  Only one request per offer per household unless otherwise noted.  I cannot guarantee the quality of the freebies, and I cannot guarantee the receipt of freebies.

Wal-mart has several freebies available, but only a couple that I have not listed before.

Just in time for making your Christmas lists, a free DigiLake mechanical pencil.

Free Buffalo Soldier Tribute Poster .  This offer has evidently been around a while although I just came across it.  The request form is still active, so I’m guessing that means that there are still posters available.

Show your support of public educations with these free window decals and bookmarks
