I got this today - unfortunately the coupon says "valid only in Ontario" kinda far to go for this Alberta fishie!
I'm going to take it in to see if they'll accept in anyway.

Maybe we could set up a thread that only lists 'classic' freebies - those ones that don't expire and that everyone seems to want to check out (like the moosehead pin, pc burgers, jelly bellys, etc) - sort of like the 'tried and tested' group of freebies.

Just a thought, because all these great freebies come up, but since the thread gets changed every week, new members can't access the older threads (or don't want to search through 5 months worth of posts to find it). what do you think?



I think that would be a great idea too! I somehow find myself missing some goodies here too. (Like the PC thing) If it is something that is an ongoing or longer offer (even if one per person) it may be cool to have a "best of" "golden fin" :hee freebie thread. Thinking about the space issue, posting links to these most requested items may save more space than 5 fishie posts asking about the original post. Just my 2 fish flakes for the day

I use the search button regularly to check back on contests I've won to see prize details & I've even used it to look up a couple of freebies that I originally ignored.
It's not very hard to figure out, in the "Refine Search Results" portion of the search page I pick "free" in the "Which Forums" section & then I pick "list message titles AND message excerpts" in the "Display Results How" section. That way you get the actual post you were searching for & not the entire thread.

It works really well. Maybe if more people were aware of how the search feature worked we wouldn't have so many fishies asking where to find stuff.

Yes, the search does work - but unless I'm swimming in the wrong direction I think people want a thread where they can find guaranteed freebies without actually knowing what they are called, e.g. "this is a great freebie for (insert the name of the freebie here) - it always comes & has no expiry date (insert link here)", or something along those lines. Perhaps a JuJu helper could give some advice on this?

Maybe I just have issues, but I am not very good with the search feature at all.

Thanks Fossil! That's exactly what I was thinking of! (and since I'm not really sure how to go about it, I was kind of hoping someone who did could maybe offer suggestions?)

Oops, Sorry. The way I read it I thought we were trying to avoid having a bunch of people asking "where can I get that" every time someone posted that they received a freebie.

Juju has no objections to this kind of thread, if someone wants to start one. I'm personally a little too busy right now to spend hours combing over old threads looking for them, but if someone else has nothing to do then feel free to start an "Old and Reliable" thread.

The only problem with this is that there aren't that many "guaranteed" freebies and people are still going to be posting "where did you get that-can I have the link?" posts. Plus I imagine that the thread is going to scroll off the page after everyone has thought of all the regulars.
For instance in the above example of the PC hamburger thing it was only a summer BBQ promotion and only available some places, so it wouldn't have even qualified to be included in this type of thread. Some promotions DO run for quite a while , like some shampoo samples, but I find they get posted again over and over.
Offhand there are a few that are pretty much always there:
the free harlequin book, the free ED soup, certain free baby items, which are easily found in the baby thread, free Inner science and Vidal sassoon shampoo.

I could sticky a thread like this to the top of the page but then it would have to follow certain rules:
1) Available to everyone
2) Extended promotion-we don't want stuff that has to be constantly edited out
3) Reliable-always comes
4) Simple enough for newbies-no jumping through hoops to get it, like having to refer 20 friends, or complete other offers.
5) No credit card requirement

This is in no way a final judgement so if anyone disagrees, has ideas for improvements, wants to pursue this, etc. please say so.
