Welcome to the second edition of Mailbox Monday!  Check out all the good stuff I got this past week in the mail…

Free Book: A McKaslin Homecoming by Jillian Hart (I don’t remember requesting this book, but I see eHarlequin carries this series, and they offer free books).  I’ve been reviewing all the books I read here.

O.P.I Nail Polish in “Mauve-a-rita” – I love the OPI brand, as it dries quickly and does not chip.  I usually buy my OPI on eBay.com for half the retail cost.

Free Sample Dexatrim Max2o Tablets

FREE Curel Lifestages Lotion Dual-Pack Sample

Lots of Free Offers only last a short time, so the following unlinked items are no longer available – sorry! 
Free Shower to Shower Shimmer Effects Body Powder
Free Degree Absolute Protection Cool Rush Deodorant
Free Schick Quattro Titanium Razor for Men
Free Vaseline Intensive Rescue Moisture Locking Lotion
Don’t miss any more “too late” offers – check out the Newest Freebies Added Today!

Free Luggage Tags from TripAdvisor.com

Free Address Labels from Marian.org – I don’t remember requesting these either and don’t see a link on their site offering such.  But lots of other charity sites offer Free Address Labels.

Consumer Reports Magazine – this is one of the few magazine that I actually pay to receive as the reviews are unbiased, and they offer great tips to save time and money.

Free Electronics Gaming Monthly Magazine – my son reads this as he is a big video game fanatic! More Free Magazine Subscriptions.

Gourmet Cookies from Geoff and Drew’s – Yummy!  These would make a great Father’s Day gift to send to Dad if he’s a sweets lover!

I made my own cookies last night for the kids (so I don’t have to share my Geoff and Drew’s cookies), and I have to admit mine turned out pretty darn good as well!  Here’s the recipe…

Choc-Oat-Chip Cookies
1 c margarine (soft)
1 1/4 c brown sugar
1/2 c white sugar
2 eggs
2 TBsp milk
2 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 c oatmeal
1 pkg chocolate chips (I use half a bag)
Mix ingredients.  Drop with scoop onto cookie sheet.  Bake 375 degrees. 9-10 minutes.

That’s all folks for this week’s edition of Mailbox Monday!  Have a good week!

I’ve decided to start a feature here at ShoppingBookmarks – “Mailbox Monday”.  Yes, I know today is Tuesday, but yesterday was Memorial Day, so I waited until today.  My intent is to videoblog and show you all the cool stuff I acquired during the last week and link to each item so you can request the same if you wish.  I only sign up for freebies that I will actually use or give away to someone I know will use them, which is only a small percentage of those that are listed on our site.  And I still made a haul…

Walmart Freebies  
Free Sample Ban Sweet Surrender Antiperspirant/Deodorant 
Free Sample Aquafresh Extreme Clean Polishing Action Toothpaste
Free Sample Crystal Light, Kool-Aid and Country Time On The Go Drink Mixes 
Garnier Fructis Fortifying Shampoo & Conditioner (no longer available)
Frizz-Ease Straight Ahead Shampoo & Conditioner & Hair Serem (no longer available)
John Frieda Sheer Blonde / Brilliant Brunette Samples (no longer available)
L’Oreal Skin Genesis Multi-Layer Cell Strengthening Serem (no longer available)
If you see a free offer from Walmart, request it immediately as they are not offered for long periods of time!  If you do get your request to go through, your sample will be delivered very quickly!

Free Sample Dove Cream Oil Intensive Body Lotion

Free Sample of Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Scrub

All You Magazine Each issue contains high dollar manufacturer coupons!  Available from Walmart stores, but save even more ordering subscription online!

Earrings from MyJewelryBox.com for my mom for her birthday. Shhh, don’t tell her.

Rebate Checks from…

Dawn Direct Foam Money Back Guarantee (up to $3.99) expires 7/31/08
Scrubbing Bubbles Fresh Brush Max Starter Kit Rebate (expired)

Books…
Good in Bed by Jennifer Weiner – I ordered this book for 75¢ from Half.com after reading Jennifer Weiner’s Goodnight Nobody book.

I actually received Randy’s Pausch’s The Last Lecture Book last week, but this book is remarkable!  Read my review here.

BTW, you can win a $200 Amazon gift certificate just by commenting on the books I have read (mostly chick lit).

Blue's Clue's Mailbox - We just got a letter...There you have it.  I spared you the details of my junk mail, catalogs and bills and only showed you my “good mail” for the week. 

I thought about doing “Free Stuff Friday” but I just implemented that on Steal The Style (and not everything I receive is totally free).  I also do “Free Shirt Friday” on Work in my Pajamas, so figured Fridays are already chaotic for me, and don’t you want to start off your week by seeing me?!

As always, I welcome your feedback to make this blog/site better!
