Free Starbucks Coffee....Every day! No, i'm not kidding

New Yorkers drink a lot of coffee (this is not new news)...

and I've discovered a way to do it, without going broke!

Here we go...

Starbucks offers free coffee

*I'll agree, Starbucks IS NOT my favorite. I truly love Saturdays and Birch... but this works during the weekday!

FOLLOW THESE STEPS:

1. Go to Starbucks and purchase a $10 gift card in the morning

2. Purchase your beverage with the gift card

3. Go HERE and register your card

4. Go to Starbucks with your empty cup

5. Hand them your card- they will refill your coffee for 54 cents

6. Spend the $10 on the gift card, getting refills for 54 cents

7. When that runs out, reload with $5

8. After you accrue enough points (happens pretty fast) you will receive FREE refills 

* Also, on your birthday you receive ANY drink of your choice!

Enjoy! What's your favorite coffee?

Kick the Habit

freely be presents: kick the habit.

Before you can change the world, you need to be able to change your own. To share freedom, one must be free themselves. In an effort to bring that freedom, on August 1st Freely Be will be launching Kick the Habit.

Is there something in your life that just isn’t good for you?

Addicted to smoking?
Spending too much on cocktails?
Taking cabs when you could be walking?
Can’t stop the urge to shop?

Then its time to kick the habit.

From August 1-31 we want to hear your stories and challenge you for the month to improve YOU! So get ready to send us your emails, videos, tweets, etc. on how you Kicked the Habit and are encouraging others to do so as well.

We’ll also be opening up the Freely Forums so you can discuss your kicked habit with others who might share the same one.

Think you’ll want to take it a step further? We propose taking the finances you would use on that habit, and donate it towards the Gilgal School & Orphanage – click here for details and to donate.

You take on the challenge – help others, help yourself. What have you got to lose (other than yellow teeth and early-onset wrinkles)?

Feel free to help spread the word by placing this button on your blog/Tumblr/Facebook page:

…And email at us at info@FreelyBe.org if you’d like to find out about other ways to get involved!

More details to come, but for now – please help us spread the word so others can begin to Kick the Habit!

I have a reputation for getting things for free or finding great deals. Call it luck or a blessing, but the truth remains the same. This is a deal that I had to share!! 

Several months ago, I found out about a promo on Coastal Contacts. Free Prescription glasses...I could hardly believe it. However, it was true! I ordered my glasses and they arrived really quickly. I have gotten several compliments about them, and when people ask how much, they are shocked when I say FREE!

Tomorrow, Coastal Contacts is doing ANOTHER DEAL. Here is how you can get your glasses:

A New York State of Mind

The other night, a group of my friends and I were discussing our love for New York City. I explained how I thought it was so strange that some people have never visited. Then we thought about all the places we would never visit...OR didn't know where they even were. Like...North Dakota.
My friend then passed on a map posted by FunnyorDie. Its the USA map view, as seen my a New Yorker.
Gotta admit, it's pretty accurate!
