Free stuff!

[Michael Wallace]

Now that this deceptive-but-not-technically-irrelevant subject title has got your attention. I want to hear about the best free stuff you've ever been sent by companies. It can be just random stuff they've sent you because you forgot to tick a box on a form, or it can be stuff they've sent you because you corrected their spelling/seem a bit mental.

I think my own highlights include:

1) Money from bus companies when they've been rubbish (I once had a bus driver ask me if I was unemployed, because he didn't recognise my disabled bus pass (Y)).
2) Free pizza! Our local Domino's accidentally put meat on a pizza, and when we complained they gave us a free pizza voucher. When we tried to use the voucher no-one knew how it worked, and they ended up trying to charge us some ostensibly completely made up number, so we complained again, and got MORE PIZZA. (I think they hate us now, though.)
3) Tea companies in general are quite good for some freebies. Presumably because the cost of a teabag is approximately nothing.
4) ????
5) Profit.

I went through a phase when I was about 15 of using free stuff forums to send off for loads of free stuff. There are presumably still loads around, but it didn't take me long to realise that as fun as getting 10 free jelly beans for being awake at 2am every day was (no, really), the novelty does tend to wear off a bit.

I bought some kitchen towels once which had a free Mr Man magnet attached. It was stuck on the packet with sellotape, and when removed the sellotape. I sent them a stupid 2-page letter explaining my distress, and they sent me back the whole collection of magnets (not sellotaped) with a jokey apologetic letter. It made me

I'm about to do similar with a tax disc holder from Next, which I retardedly managed to cut my finger on when attempting to change the tax disc. If I worked in a customer complaints dept, I'd give the freebies to people who made me lol.

[Ryan Taylor]

Technically still free although I did win them.

When Smile used to be on in a morning (you know, with Reggie Yates and Nev!!) they had a competition which you could enter free online. In essence you played along online picking up clues from the live show until you eventually found where Nev had buried his nugget of treasure. The first 10 people who submitted the answer won one of Nev's nuggets and you also got a Smile lucky bag too with other cool things in. Anyway, I entered this 3 times on consecutive Sunday mornings and won every time (bearing in mind I'm either playing against 5 year olds or the 5 year olds parents who aren't very quick at typing and hitting a submit button either). So after getting 3 free Smile lucky bags and 3 of Nev's nuggets I finally gave up as it got a bit boring and a little while after that Smile ceased to be produced. I may have made them bankrupt.

The highlight for me was seeing my name running along the bottom of the screen followed by my age. Amongst the 10 winners with names like "Amy, age 6 - Max, age 7 - Thomas, age 5" it read "Ryan Taylor - age 16". Man did I feel cool!

[Michael Wallace]

Made me Smile (geddit?!) as an opening for something more... what was a 'Nev's nugget'? What were the 'cool things' in the Smile lucky bag? Maybe it was a handheld fan? Or some ice cubes! Tell us, tell us!

[Ryan Taylor]

This is amazing. I managed to dig out my Nev's nugget's and also some stuff I still have left. This is me "modelling" the array of stuff I got as best as I can.

From top to bottom:

Forehead: A Nev sticky note!
In mouth: A Nev Nugget! (reverse)
Right hand: My Smile bag (which I still use)
On t-shirt: Nev Nugget (obverse), a Smile sticker and 4 more sticky notes

I once bought a bag of Revels with no coffee ones, which are my favourite. I wrote them a long letter explaining how I suspected this was the work of the Mafia controlling the Revels supply chain. They sent me a voucher for less than the cost of one bag. Fuckers.

What proportion of a bag is usually coffee ones, and what proportion of the cost of one bag was the voucher worth? (tell us, tell us, etc.)

Revels really annoy me as there are always lots and lots of the little toffee ones left which aren't actually too bad but there are just too many. Whereas like Charlie, I love the coffee ones but they never put many in a pack and just when you think you're onto a winner you bite in and discover it's orange instead. Bleurgh! Remember when they had that vote online to evict a revel? That was pretty cool.

[Matt Morrison]

I've done quite a bit of this, and when I get back to Devon I'll try and attach some Word documents of some of the more comedy letters I've written. I fucking love it.

Some of the more memorable ones include:

• At the bottom of a packet of Wotsits there was 'a wotsit' which was purely flavouring. But it was so jam packed solid that it was still a wotsit shape, so (fuck knows how they make wotsits but I'll guess) the crisp centre never made it into the mould and the mould must have just been filled with the flavouring powder that just goes on the edge. It was dark orange and stuck to your fingers when you picked it up. I returned it along with some nonsense bumph about "let down by the quality of the product that I trusted" etc. and they (Walkers, I think?) £3 of vouchers.
• Shortly after that I got a bit of a taste for complaining to see what you could get away with. I got a small bag of Minstrels and in there was an absolute mess of a minstrel, like three or so minstrels fused into one minstrely mess. I wanted to eat it so fucking bad, it would have been delicious, but instead I sent it back to them (Galaxy, right?) in the packet and claimed that it reminded me of a stone ornament that my late great-grandmother used to have on her mantelpiece, and that seeing it had brought back lots of bad memories for me and ruined my day. The letter they wrote back started, no shit, with the line "we're concerned that you felt it necessary to complain", but they gave me £5 of Galaxy vouchers. Result.
• Another favourite was after we discovered a mad love for Star Bars at university. We wrote a cool letter to Cadbury's informing them that by far their best bar was going hugely underappreciated by the masses. We lived on the road that led up to Exeter City's stadium so we told them that we'd be willing to use our front lounge window as advertising space for Star Bars - for the people, like - and in return said they could pay us in nothing more tangible than shit loads of Star Bars. They unfortunately refused on the grounds of some Advertising Act or other, but delighted in offering us £5 of Cadbury's vouchers.

Cool Matt. Thing is, there must be so many actually genuinely crazy people out there that our "tongue-in-cheek" letters probably don't stand out quite as much as jokes as we think they do.

[Matt Morrison]

Cool Matt. Thing is, there must be so many actually genuinely crazy people out there that our "tongue-in-cheek" letters probably don't stand out quite as much as jokes as we think they do.

On the other hand, sometimes I think they stick out too much. Case in point being last year when Co-Op had badly advertised which of the Quorn vegeburgers were included in an offer and which weren't. I wrote a comedy letter, but with the serious point of "hey this is genuinely confusing, can you change the advertising and maybe give me my money back?" and it got completely ignored, even after I sent it a second time.

I love(d) all the creams. Which one did they evict in the end? I remember the contest but not the result - I thought the fact they were doing it at all was pretty fucking appalling and went completely against the nature of revels in general.

I can't remember either. I remember the chocolate raisin ones when they became the newbie though and had in the back of my mind that it got evicted but can't say for definite that it did. Chocolate raisins are bloody disgusting.

That's no way to talk to the son of God.

Crazy that they tried strawberry though. That seems so-unrevelly. Glad coffee got put back, though clearly not glad enough to have bought a single packet of revels since September 2008*.

I thought it was the peanut ones that got evicted (in the usual conspiracy against nuts!). But I hate raisins so I haven't bought Revels since the raisin ones were introduced.

[David Williams]

Just back from Tescos, who just sent me for no reason four vouchers for £10 off if you spend £30. Whether I can get through £30 worth of alcohol before next week's voucher is debatable.

I've also recently had two occasions when I've sent emails to my bank asking them to do something, where they've replied acknowledging my 'complaint' and subsequently sent me £30 'compensation'. In neither case was I actually complaining.

Get lost!!! It can't be more than 3 or 4 years ago that they scrapped peanut ones (which were my favourites!).

Honestly! Just 'cause a few people have a slight allergy!!!!

[Karen Pearson]

No!!! Because they have a crispy candy shell coating (which is horrid!)!

That's like saying "Buy Minstrels" when you'd rather have Galaxy Counters!!!

Which means you have to resort to nasty cheap chocolate peanuts rather than ones coated in Galaxy chocolate (unless you go to M&S who have nice chocolate peanuts).

Galaxy Counters sound like things an astronomer would use.

Edit: How hard would home-made chocolate covered peanuts be? You could do with amazing chocolate and have a peanutgasm.

[Karen Pearson]

Edit: How hard would home-made chocolate covered peanuts be? You could do with amazing chocolate and have a peanutgasm.

Hmm! Nice idea and would almost certainly be yummy but you are unlikely to achieve that nice smooth coating. Even if you put them on a fine mess rack to let the excess chocolate drip through, you'd still have a flat bottom. (Although that's probably the only way most of us girls will come close to having a flat bottom!)

What, we should put you on a fine mess rack, cover you in chocolate and leave you to dry? That doesn't sound very PC.

I'm writing to Tesco now, hopefully will get some vouchers or some shit. I'm doubtful though..

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please find enclosed the packaging of a bag of Walkers Ready Salted crisps, bought on Friday 3rd September as part of a Meal Deal at Tesco Extra in Rainham.

As a regular customer of Tesco (my clubcard number is ************944) I had become accustomed to a high standard of products. Imagine my surprise when, on finishing the bag, I realised that it was over a month out of date (31-07-2010). My suspicions were aroused by the World Cup-themed bag decoration. I find it hard to conceive that nobody in the long process of getting these crisps onto the shelf noticed the same.

The 'Best Before' date is there for a reason. I would like to think Tesco's staff takes it a bit more seriously than this incident suggests. In bringing this to your attention I hope that nobody else will have to suffer the same misfortune I have.

I trust you will provide me with appropriate compensation in order to put this unfortunate situation to bed.

Yours,
Jonathan O'Neill

[Michael Wallace]

I'm writing to Tesco now, hopefully will get some vouchers or some shit. I'm doubtful though..Jonathan O'Neill

Was there no sell-by date on them? There's no legal obligation on best before, although I'd be amazed if they didn't send you something. That said, I wrote to Sainsbury's a while back because they had bread on the shelves past its use by (let alone sell by), and they only sent me a £5 Sainsbury's card thing, which seems a bit cheap when they were presumably breaking the law.

Edited to fix my quote fail so it looks like Jono quote failed instead.

I can see why they wouldn't need to have a Sell By on crisps, they tasted fine.

But yeah I just want a voucher or something.

I reckon you might be alright - a month is a pretty long time, although you should have either not eaten them, or mentioned they tasted horrendous. Also that your mother was killed by a packet of crisps past their best before date.

Yesterday the Co-op gave me a voucher for £2 off if I spend over £20, which is pretty useless as I rarely spend as much as £10 at a time, as I don't buy my booze there

[Michael Wallace]

Breaking 'free stuff' news:

McVities currently have a thing where you can collect points by entering codes from packets of biscuits on their website, which you can eventually redeem for Stuff. (For instance, if I bought 209 packets of Rich Teas I could get a wind-up radio.)

So anyway, on the website it shows you your points total in the top right corner, but mine was showing I only had 3, when I thought I should have 6. When I went to the 'my account' section of the site, sure enough I had 6 points there, so clearly there's a minor problem with the site. I sent them an email (complete with screencap) to point this out, in the hope they might send me some free biscuits, but instead they replied saying "thanks for your email, we've fixed it and you should now have 6 points". Bummer. But when I logged in again all they've done is give me 3 points, so that my top right corner total says 6, but my account total says 9. So no free biscuits, but 3 free points.

CF told me this was the most exciting story he'd heard today. (Although we only got up about an hour ago.)

Ah bitchin'. I vaguely remember them doing stuff like that when I got the Mail (I was about 13, ok?) - never won anything. Presumably because the newsagents were sifting through them trying to find all the money before I could

[Andy Wilson]

I lived with a feckin diamond of a french bloke a few years back who used to just shoplift at tescos, justifying it by the fact that we were buying a fair lot of stuff at the same time. He used to call it ze 'special offer'. Anything small, like deodorants and the like, went in his pockets and not in the trolly. 'Ah, look, zis is fo fwee, sank you'.

Come to think of it, I did have a bit of a shoplifting phase when I was a kid. A bunch of us used steal Ice creams from the freezer in both the local garage and another shop at the other side of the village. One person would stall at the counter debating whether to buy a chomp or a stinger or whatever while the rest of us would take a closer look at the ice creams, fitting as many into our tracksuit bottoms as possible while somehow making it look like we weren't. Then we'd feck off on our bikes, giving random people any ice creams we knew we couldn't eat before they melted along the way like little robin hoods (and we probably did wear hoodies), off to some field to gorge before we ran it off with a game of football. Ah the days.

The pub I watched the England/Germany game in this summer offered a 'free pint' if Klose got the first goal. Fair fecks, they threw the bar open for a good half an hour afterwards, not charging anyone for pints.

This thread made me laugh out loud a few times.

[Ian Volante]

I once pinched a packet of chewing gum while I was sat waiting to see the dentist. They were sat on the counter, the receptionist had buggered off somewhere, and I found it all quite thrilling. The only other time I did that was pinching a chocolate bar while buying some crisps or something. Too easy really, although I like to think I have morals these days. Either that, or I don't want to lose my job for want of a couple of quid.

And you were the guy weeping about the state of society last week?

[Michael Wallace]

I've often thought how easy it would be to shoplift, and presumably that's kinda the point since a few people stealing chocolate bars isn't going to be enough to justify a security guard or whatever. I still like the idea of 'having a go' at shoplifting, so a shop employs people as secret shoplifters or whatever, reckon it could be quite fun.

I was recently in a Starbucks and I realised as I was queueing up that they sold the Gruaniad. I'd just bought a copy from somewhere else (40p for students ooh yeah) but realised that there was no way to prove that I hadn't got my copy from there. I was then stuck in the queue, panicking about what the correct course of action is - do I make it very obvious I have a newspaper so that they know I'm not trying to steal it, but then what if they charge me for it anyway? If I try and hide it won't it just look even more suspicious? As it turned out, I don't think anyone cared. Was quite exciting though.

[Andy Wilson]

And you were the guy weeping about the state of society last week?

Aw, gimme a break man, i was just a kid. I hate that feeling in the shop when you walk in with something that they sell. Usually a simple 'i brought that in with me' suffices, but when you have a history of crime like myself, i suppose the guilt is harder to suppress.

Well I think there is something dodgy about it, besides Richard Branson (RB ) When I went on the site it already had the "code" and "password" typed in so it is not like it is unique or anything. I've just read the T&C but can't see anything wrong yet. I'm just a bit reluctant to enter my bank details but if it seriously is just a case of 12 free wines then I'm on it.

I don't think so. It offered me 3 cases of wine. 1st case 12 mixed wines, 2nd case 12 red wines, 3rd case being 12 white wines. They are 39.99 each or is it only £39.99 because of my voucher? If not then the £40 voucher covers the cost (apart from delivery).#

I don't think so. It offered me 3 cases of wine. 1st case 12 mixed wines, 2nd case 12 red wines, 3rd case being 12 white wines. They are 39.99 each or is it only £39.99 because of my voucher? If not then the £40 voucher covers the cost (apart from delivery).

Normally: £79.99
