Freebie Finds!

Deals & TipsSaving Money
Written By The Budgeting Mum

If you're anything like me and are obsessed with a freebie, I got you! Each week, I search out a bunch of amazing things that won’t cost you a penny.

I only recommend products and businesses I use or would use myself and all opinions expressed here are our own. Some links in this blog are affiliate links or sponsored by the companies I use and recommend. This means I may earn a small commission but at no extra cost to you.

If you're a Vodafone customer, you can get 3 months of Disney+ for free!

Just go to offers.vodafone.com, pop in your phone number, and you should see a list of offers (there are plenty of other good ones although most of these ARE mentioned on the Rewards app).

Looks like this is valid for new AND returning Disney+ customers! I don't think you can switch to a different plan during your trial but don't forget to cancel in order to avoid being charged via your phone bill.

If you cover the postage, you can get one free card a month. No subscriptions or commitments, you'll just need to download the free prints app!

Three+ rewards customers can get a free bag of Cadbury’s snow balls.

The reward will appear in Three+ app from around 10am on the 16th December and you’ll get a free bag of Cadbury Mini Snowballs, redeemable at WHSmith until 22nd December. 

This Christmas, Uber is giving healthcare workers in the UK two £10 Uber rides and £10 to spend on a meal or groceries on Uber Eats. The promotion will be available to staff with a valid NHS or HSC email address to use between 24th and 25th December 2024, subject to availability.

How to claim your free rides

  • First, ensure your Uber account is linked to your NHS or HSC email address by midnight on 20th December 2024.

  • On 23 December 2024, you’ll be emailed a promo code which you’ll need to add to your Uber account in order to claim the offer. The email will provide instructions on how to do so. After applying the code, the promotion will be automatically included in the upfront price you see when requesting a trip. The offer will be valid for up to two £10 free rides per NHS or HSC staff member and can be redeemed on 24th or 25th December.

Yoto has started the 24 days of Yoto again this year.

How it works:

  • Every morning, from Sunday 1st December you can open the Yoto App and go to the 'Discover' tab to find your free preview card to listen to with your children!

  • All free preview cards will be available on the Yoto App until 6th January.

Lots of shops are doing digital advent giveaways this year so its worth downloading their apps as you can often bag a cheeky giveaway or an exclusive discount code:

  • Morrisons: 12 days of Christmas giveaways 

  • Boots: 12 days of magic - exclusive offers 

  • John Lewis: Treats of Christmas - running until Christmas eve

If you don’t need these or know anyone that does, I think its a great idea to claim them and donate them to the food bank.

O2 Priority members can get a Greggs festive drink for just £1. Codes are available every day on the O2 Priority app. 

They’re available between 7am and 11.30 but be quick as these don’t stay around long!

I’ve just sent this on to my Mum to make for the kids so thought it might be helpful for you too!

If you have any keen knitters in the family, why not challenge them to make the kids a Christmas jumper! (saves you buying one!)

Or maybe you like knitting yourself! No judgement here! Fun fact,  I’m a crochet girl…

If you download the Snapfish app you’ll get 50 free prints each month.

There is nothing better than having physical photos to look through but I can’t bear to fight with the machines in the supermarkets to print mine! So this is much easier, plus you get a freebie!

All you’ll need to do is cover the postage.

You can get a free trial of Clinique foundation by signing up here.

Once you’ve done this, all you will need to do is take the voucher to your local Clinique counter. The perfect size to put in your overnight bag!

Here’s how you can go to this incredible London event in Hyde Park totally free of charge!
