My 2012 Smartcanucks Freebie Year

My 2012 Smartcanucks Freebie Year

I usually post pics in the What Freebies Have You Received? thread or in the respective freebie threads but this year I decided to do something different. I documented everything I received 100% FREE in the mail via Smartcanucks beginning on Jan 1^st, 2012 with the intention of posting a retrospective at the end of the year. Well, since today marks the final mail day of 2012 that time is now. Hope you all enjoy going down memory lane with me.


to all the SCers who shared these freebie opportunities (not to be confused with contests). I missed out on some and others I opted not to request, but I am truly appreciative of all the ones I did receive.


Wherever possible, I provided a link to the original freebie thread (in brackets). I only included coupons when they were free product coupons (FPCs). Excluded are freebies that were doorhangers, required in-store pick up, were electronically received (e.g., Amazon codes from Swagbucks), or cash rewards (i.e., cheques) received from survey sites.

Ok, let’s start down the yellow brick freebie road…

P.S. If any of the picture links are broken, please let me know.
