Free Pringles


A post on MoneySavingExpert.com got me another great freebie! A full sized pack of a new pringles flavour - Cheese & Chilli.
The new flavour comes under a new category of Pringles - XTREME. These are flavours that have a strong taste in the mouth, where the aftertaste lasts for a long while! Each of the flavours in the XTREME has a rating, which shows just how hot they are. The free pack I received on Saturday was rated 2 fire symbols (which is just one off the hottest flavour).
After finding the full sized pack of Pringles in my paperbox (it was too big to fit in the letterbox!), I was surprised that Pringles could send a full sized product away for free. I opened them immediately and found the whiff to be really strong. After tasting the Pringles, I was amazed at how tasty they were! They were a combination of the much loved Sour Cream and Onion and Texas BBQ (my 2 fave flavours). I loved the taste and finished the pack in quick succession.
As for rating the free pack of Pringles, I can only give 4.5 stars. Yes, its really good that they sent out a full sized pack which was tasty, but it isn't that amazing of a freebie. It didn't make my day however, it did put a smile on my face!

Free Earphones


Another Boffer freebie to come through the post - has to be around my thrid from them now!
This time, the freebie was earphones. They appeared on Boffer's homepage with a weird image of a cat with headphones in from what I can remember, bit confusing. Being a freebie and from a 'small' company, I wasn't expecting the best quality headphones. The headphones came within 3 days of me ordering the freebie, so was very pleased with the efficiency. The headphones could be critisised for their poor build, but it is a freebie!
I have had some problems already with the Boffer headphones such as loss of sound when you spin the headphone jack in the socket and also which I found weird was there were small bits of plastic sticking out of the top of the headphones!
I can only give this Boffer Freebie 3 stars. It came very quickly through the post and the quality of sound that comes through them is average. If you are looking for regular freebies, then click here to go to Boffer's website and then bookmark it!

Jack Daniels BBQ Brush Thing


2 days ago, what popped through my door? To be honest, I still don't really know! I'm a member of Jack Daniels club, which you can find on their website. From the forum people at moneysavingexpert.com, I had heard that if you join this club you get a few freebies throughout the year, and this was my first!
As you can see in the picture above, I got a brush with a sort of weird bottle opener on the other side. Now as I don't really know what this is, I will just comment on the quality of the freebie. This Jack Daniels freebie is of a good make, feeling heavy in the hand and that time was taken to make existing customers are valued. On one side is a brush, which feels like it won't just slip off the end, but last for a decent amount of time. The material is rubbery and feels good. The bottle opener is of a good quality also, embedded deep within so that it can't just be pulled off.
Yet again, this is a hard freebie to rate. For me, its usability is poor. I can't see how I would ever use this! But, what has to win this freebie some stars is that it was totally unexpected and its "heavy in hand" feel. Jack Daniels BBQ Brush Thing gets 3 stars.

Free BBC Prom Plus Tickets


After another generous post on moneysavingexpert.com, a couple of days ago I recieved 3 tickets to go and see BBC Prom's Plus on Sunday 26th July. Now, not being that interested in the proms, I still find these tickets to be a great freebie!
Hosted in the Royal Albert Hall, the proms are a national highlight of the year; thousands tuning in to the BBC to watch them! After receiving 3 tickets to see proms plus, at first I was confused about whether I had got actual proms tickets, which usually cost around £75, or something else. However, after a look in the brochure that came with the tickets, I found out that I am booked in to see some performances from the Royal College of Music and the Royal Geographical Society.
The seats which I have got places for are not that great, they are really high up and to the side a bit, but that is mainly because of my stupidity of not grasping some tickets straight away.
As the stars are concerned, I will not be able to give any stars to this freebie just yet. On Sunday 26th July, I will give the tickets a rating, based upon the quality of performances and the experience as a whole.
