It's already too late for the free shopping tote from Earthbound Farm. (all 10,000 already claimed this week)

Recycled foil wrap? I'd hate to be the guy who's job it is to un-crumple all those balls of foil.

Also, that thermometer is available for free delivery to a store near you.

Refurbished mouse is refurbished.

@AutoTuneShouldBeACrime_GitEmSteveDave: So wait-buying recycled toilet paper wasn't a good idea then?

Seventh Generation products are good stuff. We use their surface cleaners (tub/tile, counter, mirror, etc.) exclusively. We initially switched because their stuff is mostly food-safe, and we have a cat who likes to lick the bathtub. Now that we're having a baby, it's even more important since ankle-biters are notorious for gnawing on everything in sight, including available surfaces.

But their cleaners work great. The one and only issue is if you have a really bad stain, you sometimes have to spray it, walk away for five minutes to let it soak, and then scrub. It's not necessarily instant on really bad stains.

Wait so let me get this straight - If I buy a $21.00 bamboo coffee canister, I can get a - MEDIUM COFFEE FREE?? Well! Let it not be said that eco-friendly hippy stores use Earth Day as a way to spur their own profits! Because this is SO worth it!

@Coles_Law: I believe gitemstevedave calls it recycled 'colbert paper'

/stalker

Has anybody heard that Popeye's Chicken having a sale today? I think I overheard a TV commercial stating that today only you can get a 8 piece chicken meal for ~$4.99?

Reynolds Wrap give-away requires giving them your name and address and is a REBATE not a straight coupon.

I plan on spending my earth day burning brush and a few old tires. If I have time, put a dent in some of that 40 gallons of used motor oil I have in the barn. Got weeds to kill.

@Eyebrows McGee (on Twitter: LPetelle): But you spend so much on it, when you could do much the same with white vinegar, dishsoap and occasionally bleach [which can be used to disinfect food areas too] for bad stains.

The foodsaver offer isn't working for me. The link from buxr just takes me to their home page. The United States version of their home page has a link for the bags, but nothing about getting a free sample.

@chiieddy: But the residue from using dish soap isn't safe for pets, I don't think.

My favorite environmentally friendly cleaner: good old fashioned white vinegar. For really tough stains I use it at 100% strength; for everything else I dilute it down. Its cheap at about $2.50 a gallon for the store brand. I always get a laugh when Windex and other cleaners tout themselves as being "with vinegar" at a higher price. Three parts water to one part white vinegar makes a good substitute for about 62 cents a gallon; far cheaper than even the cheapest store brand cleaner. I bought a good quality spray bottle for about $2 at Wal-Mart that's held up pretty well.

@chiieddy: You don't have to spend a lot to get the product. Sale + coupons + stocking up = deals on a concentrated product that lasts.

And besides, I for one don't wash my clothes in a combo of vinegar and dishsoap.

@AutoTuneShouldBeACrime_GitEmSteveDave: I went for the free shipping, I hope this one works better than the weather station I ordered from Woot. That wireless monitor had a range of about 1 foot.

@chiieddy: They use it to populate the rebate form, it seems.

@bornonbord: Well, Colbert paper. Colbert is what I call my pooping stool, and the COLBERT is the treadmill, since it's an acronym, it all should be capitalized.

I wish Earth Day was like Tax Day, with a bunch of companies giving away free burritos, etc.

Sorry, no foil for me.
I'm tired of mail in rebate offers.

@Eyebrows McGee (on Twitter: LPetelle): I love Seventh Generation - I used to use their products to clean out all of my animal cages. Very safe stuff.

@Eyebrows McGee (on Twitter: LPetelle): We use Seventh Generation laundry detergent and it does a good job. I'm allergic to all of the mass market detergents. Even those without dyes or scents leave chemical residues which leach out when the clothes get wet again, like when sweating at the gym. (I learned that lesson the hard way.) Now that you get Seventh Gen at the supermarket and Target it's easier (and cheaper) than having to schelp to Whole Foods.

As for their dishwasher detergent, it's not very good at all. I gave up on it after a few loads and went back to Cascade.

That Logitech mouse is great - I'm using it right now. The battery life is amazing. My old wireless mouse would last a week or so before I would have to replace the batteries, but the Logitech has been going strong for a good 6 months, with just two Double A's.

@Eyebrows McGee (on Twitter: LPetelle):

I haven't tried these yet, but I wanted to. Don't they have a cleaner that works for mostly everything? I hate buying a bunch of different stuff.

I'm LOL'ing on the licky cat.

@HogwartsAlum: My rabbit enjoys licking couches. It's very strange.

Wow.

That solar 'report' that they normally charge $10 for is completly worthless.

It spits back the exact same data that you put into it, witha brief paragraph at the bottom and a % of sun you can expect to get, which any half brained idiot could figure out for themselves.

The free shampoo deal is gone now.

From dealnews: Free (after government coupon) digital-to-analog TV converter box with free shipping and free HDMI cable from Meritline.com: [dealnews.com]

Unfortunately, this model has not been tested by Consumer Reports.

@chiieddy:

In my state retailers are required to give you the rebate at the point of sale, so I'm going to try this one. Better print out the state law first to bring with me!

@kjherron:

Ditto

@Blueskylaw:

Move to RI. By law the retailer has to give you the rebate at the cash register.

@tiatrack: The link is still there. Make sure you wait till flash stops playing - "choose your samples" will appear on the right side

@ElizabethD: They will have another batch next Monday

@runchadrun: Hmm, I found their diswasher detergent to work really well. Guess it depends on the water where you are.

@Eyebrows McGee (on Twitter: LPetelle): You know, if you could train both the cat and the kid to focus their lapping attention around the facet areas, you'll never have to worry about those hard-to-reach areas not sparkling again!

@Radi0logy: Yeah, but dude: it's Peet's coffee. Yeesh!

@Yoko Broke Up The Beatles: Tsk tsk: burritos contribute to methane pollution.

@fatcop: During lunch at work, instead of eating the cheese-free pizzas (cause cows fart, no joke, I hate the bay sometimes) in the cafe, I'm planning on driving out to the most out of the way Jack-In-The-Box using the most traffic laden path possible. Unfortunately I wasn't thinking and took the motorcycle today. To really top it off I should have brought the car and cranked up the A/C with the windows down.

What's the best deal with the largest carbon footprint today? Any discounts on a Hummer?

Er, the truck thing, not that other kind...

@When'sUranusDay?_GitEmSteveDave: It's kind of Reynold's Wrap to solve the headgear needs of RedState and Freeper members, though.

@iambeaker: Reply to myself: The Popeye's promotion is on... Pretty good deal..

@Hyman Decent: Hmmm. I ordered one right after I posted the above comment and I still haven't received a confirmation e-mail. I've ordered from Meritline before without problem, so maybe they're overwhelmed by the response to this offer.

@chiieddy: I do much of my cleaning with homemade stuff, but sometimes the commercial stuff is good. My husband is apparently blind to things like koolaid stains on the counter and once those set, they come up a lot easier with commercial product.

Also I'm now too pregnant to scrub because I can't get any leverage, lol.

Anyway, a single bottle lasts us ages and ages, so I don't mind the cost. Plus I get coupons. Plus there are sales.

@runchadrun: Yeah, I haven't had great luck with their dish detergent either ... I think dish detergent is picky about water hardness. We ran through a few brands until we found one that liked our water when we moved (Cascade, same as you).

@HogwartsAlum: It's called something like "tile and surface cleaner" or "counter and surface cleaner."

(And yeah. My cat is kind-of a dumb-ass.)

The Walmart shampoo sample is all gone too. Went through so many pages to be disappointed. :(

@Eyebrows McGee (on Twitter: LPetelle):

Seventh Generation is not the safe, green product their label paints themselves to be. If you critically review their ingredients you will often find carcinogens and suspected mutantagens like sodium laureth sulfate. Be an educated consumer, not a buyer of savvy marketing.

@Eyebrows McGee (on Twitter: LPetelle):

Cool, I'll look for that.

(She/he CAN'T be dumber than my cat.)

@pecan 3.14159265:

LOL!!!
