Fifteen things for free!

Remember that if you make regular freebie applications online, it's a good idea to set up a separate email address just for this purpose. That way, the promotional blurb that inevitably follows won't flood your main inbox.

So – let's kick things off with...

1. Nail polish

Pick up the December edition of Glamour magazine and you'll get a free 10ml Nail Inc bottle of nail varnish, RRP £10. There are four colours to choose from. Obviously this does involve buying the £2 magazine, so it's probably only worth it if you were going to buy a mag anyway.

2. Free meal

Buy one main course and get another free at Prezzo when you register here (via the Telegraph) and print off the voucher. For this and many other good restaurant deals, check out the latest edition of Frugal Food.

3. Free book

Are you a politics buff? If so, you can currently get a free book entitled 'Ten Years On' – all about what Britain would be like without the European Union. You can register for your free copy on the Great EU Debate website.

4. Free ice skating

One person can go free when another pays full price at Bristol ice rink: Print off the voucher on the Enjoy England website. The offer even includes skate hire.

5. Free days out in Kent

There are currently loads of 2 for 1 entry offers on VisitKentByTrain. With one person paying the full price, another can bag free entry into Leeds Castle, Dickens World, The Canterbury Tales or loads of other destinations. Just bear in mind that you will have to show evidence of traveling to Kent by train!

6. Free music

Spotify is an online music streaming service that lets you listen (legally) to thousands of free tracks and albums if you put up with ads in between the tracks. We7 is a lesser known venture, but works in a similar way.

7. Free bus travel

You could currently get a week's free travel on FirstGroup buses. See if you're eligible by visiting this page of the website and answering a few questions. Remember that the free bus ticket will only be for you (you can't pass it on to a friend) and there's a maximum of one ticket per household.

8. Free tea

Nip over to the Yorkshire Tea website to register for your free sample of... yup... Yorkshire tea!

9. Free chocolate

Then zip over to the Milka UK website. Play the game to 'unlock the secret of Milka', then register to receive your free 100g bar of chocolate.

10. Free bread

To complete the run of free groceries, pop on to the Hovis website and fill in the form to get your free Soft White loaf.

11. Free blog templates

Moving on to a techy theme, blogging fanatics can now access a range of excellent free templates. Blogger users should have a look at the range at OurBlogTemplates, whilst Wordpress devotees should visit SkinPress.

12. Free Olay sample

You can currently pick up a free sample of Olay Total Effects when you register via this page of the website.

13. Free Max Factor sample

You can bag a free sample of Max Factor Second Skin foundation when you enter your details here.

14. Free three day gym pass

You can get a free three day gym pass to LA Fitness when you register on this page of their website. Just remember you're likely to be the victim of a serious sales push once you enter the building!

15. Free help from lovemoney.com

Finally, five things you can get for a penny:

Marks & Spencer is running another of its hugely popular Penny Bazaars this Friday (13th November). In the event – to mark the store's 125th birthday – 15 items will be on sale for just 1p each. You're each allowed to buy up to five 1p items, and the offer will run in all of Marks' main UK stores (though not at airports, petrol and railway stations or motorway services). Items on sale include tea towels, mugs, notebooks, socks and chocolates, amongst others. It's expected to be VERY busy, so get there early!
