Bass Pro Shops - Free 4x6 photo with Santa and multiple other free events for kids through December 27. Free crafts, free games and activities. Check your local listings for a calendar of events.

CVS and Walgreens have deals that they are advertising as free which are not actually free, though they might be good deals IF you are already going to buy some of these products. They offer store credit for the same price as the product so its like a hybrid of rewards cards and buy one get one free sales. People who are active in extreme couponing take advantage of these deals often. CVS listed the following items:

Advil Tablets
Pepto-Bismol
iChill Relaxation Shot
Cepacol
Be Koool from Fever Discomfort
Breath Right
CVS Dental Flossers
Listerine Pocketpaks
LA Looks hair gel
excedrin
Finish Quantum
Advil PM
Fiber One
Hershy's King Size chocolate drops
Carmex
Softlips gloss
Balance Bar
Theraflu caplets
Theraflu travel size
Kleenex cool touch
 . .  and others; again these are not actually free, but may be good deals. The key is not to let the promotion trick you into buying something that you wouldn't buy otherwise.

For more possible Free After Rebate deals see the FAR introductory page and the Rebate Directory for tons of rebate resources! Have a Happy Thanksgiving and be safe this Black Friday. If I find Cyber Monday freebies I'll be posting them too.
