It's time for a weekly roundup of freebies, samples and other deals. These offers typically expire quickly. And remember, never give your real birthday or a credit card number for a free offer.

Get a free sample of Everlast nutritional supplements.

Free sample of Pampers dry max diapers. This offer from Sam's Club says your membership number is required, but I left the form blank and it looks like it went through.

Do you have a Blockbuster Express DVD rental in your neighborhood? Get a free rental with the code GA13B1. Valid until 3/24. Thanks to HeyItsFree for this tip. You may also want to try the code GY131. DealSeekingMom says it's good until March 31.

Einstein Brothers bagels has a coupon for a free tub of cream cheese when you buy its variety bucket. Thanks to CitiesOnTheCheap.com for this tip.

Free sample of Tide. (Click on the "get a free sample" button.) I often put these detergent samples in my suitcase for when I need to do laundry on vacation.

Free sample of Crest 3-D whitestrips. Look for the button that says "sample whitestrips."

If you're shopping for jeans, Gap has a deal for you. Bring your old jeans to Gap, babyGap and GapKids and save 30% on a new pair. The deal is valid through closing time on Saturday while supplies last. There’s a limit of one coupon per customer per transaction.

Free music. Get a 11-song sampler of music from NPR music.

Got a wood worker in your family? Get 3 free issues of Wood magazine.

Get a free sample of Science Diet simple essentials treats. Look for the "sample offer" on the left side of your screen or the "get your free sample now" button on the bottom of the screen.

Have you checked out a Groupon? It's a Web site offering deals by group buying. So think "group" and "coupon" and you get "groupon." Today's deal is 5 car washes for $30. The Web site says that's a 50% discount. I get their daily email as an easy way to see each day's deal without remembering to go to the Groupon Web site.

Like to read? Don't miss the 50 cent book sale at Bookstacks March Sale. MileHighOnTheCheap says all works of fiction are 50¢ each on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at the Bookstacks inside the Mary Reed Building on the University of Denver campus, 2199 S. University Blvd, Denver, 303-871-2665. Special ends March 31.

Free download of a children's book from Children's books forever.

It's not a great deal but it will save you money. Here's $1 off a sub or salad at Quizno's.

Here's an interesting offer for Starbucks coffee drinkers. Try a different variety of Starbucks "bold" coffee each week for the next eight weeks (a tall cup of each variety is $1.50) and get a free pound of your favorite variety at the end of the eight-week period. You'll need to ask your local store for a passport, which must be stamped each week to get the free pound of coffee.

If you're a coupon user, check out Common Sense with Money for a list of several coupon books now available. And before you go to the grocery store, make sure you visit Coupons.com. If you shop at Whole Foods, they have coupons on their Web site.

And if you know someone who wants to go to prom, but can't afford the dress, there are events this weekend and next weekend to get cheap prom dresses. Details here.
