Time for Friday Freebies - my top five free things I've come across this week!

Snag a free issue of Get Married magazine, a new monthly for savvy brides. Expect tips on wedding trends, planning tools, and giveaways.

Get 50 free photos when you join CVS Photo, which is separate from its normal retail site. Signing up requires you to share your name, email and create a password for the site.

Black Friday freebie! Pick up a free reusable tote bag at Target starting a 4 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 27, 2009. Each store will only have 500 bags so they will run out quickly. You can also get a $10 gift card if you spend $100 or more on Black Friday, the mega shopping day that follows Thanksgiving and marks the traditional start of the holiday shopping season.

Download a free 24-page road trip activity booklet from RadRoadTrips.com to keep the kids entertained while you drive to Thanksgiving. Especially useful if your minivan does not have a DVD player the kids can zone out in front of.

Lastly, head over to Nordstrom and get a free sample of Lancome's Absolue Precious Cells SPF 15, courtesy of Vogue. Yes, please!

Wahoo! Here are two great coupons from Rite Aid. The first gets you $3 off a purchase of $15 or more. The second coupon gets you $2 off any Rite Aid brand skin care or beauty product that costs more than $2. In store only.

After the $2 off coupon these products cost:

• A 300 pack of cotton swabs are 19 cents.
• A pack of 32 make up wedges are 39 cents.
• A pack of 25 antibacterial wipes, grape scents, are 49 cents.
• A pack of 80 Cotton rounds are 59 cents.
• Advanced healing lotion 10 ounces is 79 cents.
• Baby Lotion Sunscreen 50 SPF 3 oz. is $1.

Final prices may vary. Print both coupons here. Both expire Saturday, Nov. 28. Neither can be combined with other discounts.

Caveats: Does not apply to prescriptions, co-pays, lottery tickets, tobacco, alcohol products, money orders, gift cards, stamps, licenses, other mailing series, online purchases or any other items excluded by law. Not valid online, sales tax not included.

From 3-6 p.m. local time today, Nov. 20 only, get any three items at the Body Shop for $30. The whole store is up for grabs, except for prepackaged gifts and gift cards. A LOT of make up, lotions, and creams are more than $10 at The Body Shop, so this is a pretty amazing deal.

Here are some of the biggest savings:

• Wise woman regenerating night cream, $32
• Moroccan rose body butter, $20
• Japanese cherry blossom eau de toilette, $25
• White floral candle garden, $24
• Nature's minerals foundation, $25
• Eye lip and cheek palate, $30

I can't believe how much of a discount the store is offering and I'm kicking myself for jumping on their free shipping offer earlier this week. I could have saved a lot of money if I had waited!

Caveats: If you buy something that is less than $10, the original price remains. You can buy multiple groups of three items to maximize your savings. Cannot be combined with other discounts, other than the Love Your Body membership discount. Valid at participating stores only. Not good online. U.S. only.

Just in time for the Thanksgiving drive to grandmas! Download a free 24-page road trip activity book that has word games, math facts, and brain busters for kids aged 8 and up.

The free download is courtesy of RadRoadTrips.com, a site devoted to ensuring your drive is entertaining. Thanks, Freebie Blogger!

Get 20% off almost everything at Kodak.com during their family and friends sale.

Use code HOLIDAYS2009, which expires on Sunday, Nov. 22. The coupon is case sensitive so make sure you use capital letters. The discount will automatically be applied at checkout.

Kodak sells a lot more than cameras, like digital picture frames, video cameras, and printers. They also have a trade-in program if you are thinking about upgrading your equipment.

Caveats: the discount does not apply to disposable cameras, the KODAK OLED Wireless Frame, clearance, refurbished products, shipping, handling, or tax. Cannot be combined with other discounts.

Thanks, Josh!

Get discounted certificates to your favorite restaurants -- or give them as gifts -- through Restaurant.com. The online site usually sells a $25 certificate for $10, but with this 70% off code a $25 cert is just $3. Yowza!

Use code GIVE, good through Nov. 22. Buy em now!

Caveats: each restaurant sets their own redemption rules and may require that the certificate be used on certain days or times. Also, the certs almost always exclude alcohol and have a minimum food tab required. Doesn't mean they aren't a good deal, you just have to find ones that work for you.

I am a self-professed recreational shopper. Always have been. Some people play sports competitively. Me, I shop competitively.

The thrill is in the bargain. Hunting it down, getting it in my sights and then moving in for the kill. I sharpened my elbows as a child in Daffy Dan's in New Jersey (mob aside, a reasonable state with no sales tax on clothing; are you listening California?) but have since refined my methods.

My current weapon of choice: coupons I find online. My trophy purchase mounted on the wall of my closet: a 100% cashmere sweater with the Sak's label still in it that I got for $5 at a thrift store in Malibu.

It was only a matter of time before my prowess reached the TV networks. I was asked by CNBC to take a camera crew along while I shopped. My terms: They don't get in my way.

Get $1 off a sub sandwich at Quiznos, get $2 off two subs, or $3 off three subs! The deal excludes toasty torpedos and tasty bullets.

Or get 50% of a signature or classic sub when you buy a regular fountain drink. Not valid on delivery orders.

Print the coupons here. Both expire on Sunday, Nov. 29. Find a Quiznos near you.

Caveats: one coupon per order. May not be combined with other discounts.

At a time when big name magazines are closing, Get Married magazine has the guts to launch. Love must be in the air. It claims to be the latest style and trend guide for savvy brides.

The mag promises "inspiring videos, photo galleries and articles as well as wedding planning tools, interactive blogs and giveaways."

Get a free issue when you answer a few questions about your upcoming nuptials. No credit card info is needed to get the freebie.

You can also sign up for five e-newsletters from the mag (or not). If you opt to subscribe, four issues are $15 ($3.75 a pop).

This is a good one folks. Get 20% off your entire purchase of sale items at the Gap now through Jan. 30, 2010.

Wow! That means already reduced items are even more on sale. I'm digging this creamy double-breasted shawl cardigan for $40 (originally $60, on sale for $50, with coupon code $40).

For in store shopping, print the coupon here. Online use code GAP20. If you shop online look for a sale link at the very bottom of each section.

Get 25% off regular-priced merchandise online only with coupon code GIFT123. Expires Sunday Nov. 22.

Caveats for the 25% off code: one per customer. Not valid in stores or on Gap RED, Junk Food, Converse, Robeez, Havaianas, CharmIt!, Medela, Stella McCartney for GapKids/babyGap, or babyGap home (Nursery & Gear) merchandise (bedding, blankets, strollers, car seats, high chairs, diaper bags, toys, books, nursery décor, dishware, bath accessories, nursing accessories, bibs, and skincare).

Thanks, Jennifer!

Here is a really good free shipping coupon from the Body Shop. Spend just $15 and get free shipping -- today only!

Use coupon code MISTLETOE. Usually you have to spend $50 to get free shipping.

I hope this is a sign that the coupons are heating up as retailers compete for holiday shopping dollars.

I'm going to stock up on their seaweed moisturizer with SPF 15, which is $18. (A splurge, I know.) But otherwise I'm really bad about remembering to put on sunscreen everyday.

The Body Shop has lots of gifts under $15, including mini-body butters, shower gel, and body scrubs. I'm also a fan of their delicious smelling soaps.

Caveats: online only, cannot be combined with other discounts. Expires Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2009. Unclear what time today the coupon expires, but let's home it's midnight.

One of my favorite snacks is dipping these crispy pita chips into garlic humus. Mmmmm....tasty.

They encourage you to sign up for their e-newsletters but it is not required, just remember to uncheck the boxes as you fill out the form.

This freebie won't last so sign up soon if you're interested. A limited number of samples are available.

I like Aeropostale because it has great prices on items teens go through quickly, like T-shirts, accessories, and jeans. T-shirts are currently two for $20, and jeans start at $20. The store also has faux shearling boots for $30. Find an Aeropostale near you.
