Am I lucky or what?! From the past 3 nights I had work, I came home with free goodies (from the goodie fairy, naturally) each night!!! Ch-ch-check it out:
Night #1:
Back to Nature WW Crackers, Odwalla Light Limeade, Tasty Bite Multi-grain Pilaf
Night #2:
(Store-baked) WW Pan bread & a Belly Bar (no, I’m not preggers, but the nutrition isn’t bad!)
Night #3:
Kiss My Face soap (yes, kiss it!)
I like working in the morning, because the “bar guy” who orders & gets samples from bars & different companies sometimes gives me extras or past-”sell-by” items, but he’s usually gone by the time I get there, so… the ways I get these goods are:
- Returns. If someone decides they didn’t actually want it, or something is “wrong” with it (I don’t take it, if it’s actually tainted, but some people are very particular!), it’s fair game.
- Past the “Sell By” date, which is still good to eat, just not to sell. It sits on the table in the back room & anyone can take it, if it has that bright orange ”Paid” sticker!
- An abundance of something, from an order. Sometimes people special-order something & it doesn’t sell on the shelf, so we “get rid” of it! Yippee!
- Samples.
- …sometimes extra reasons, too, it just varies!
ALSO, a big THANK YOU to Heather for sending me my *prize* of Jay Robb Chocolate Rice Protein. By the way, I’m friends with Jay on Facebook (yeah, I can call him “Jay” or maybe “J” or “J-Ro” because we’re friends & tizz-ight!) Any suggestions as to how to use this protein?!
Freebies! Lucky! Wish I was working in a health food store right now…
Hahaha I LOVE IT ALL!!!!
Sweet! That’s my kind of job
As for the protein powder, can you mix it in your oatmeal maybe? That’s what I’ve tried in the past, or even mixed in warmed-up soy milk for a kind of protein-soy-latte. I like warm drinks, in case you couldn’t tell.
yay freebies!!
i’ll be in the tampa area! wesley chapel to be exact! i’ll be there june 10-17. i’d loveeee to meet up!!

Again, I went to work in a health food store. I would love soap samples and freebies from the back room!
Jay Robb – I prefer my him in my oat bran, but he also makes a very sexy smoothie.
I want your job lol Great freebies!
This is so funny! I literally just RANDOMLY found your blog & clicked on your “Me” section and I recognized you from Nature’s Food Patch- I was in FL visiting my friend Ian Smith & he introduced my Husband and I to you…Such a small…blog world? Haha! I used to work at the Patch & isn’t it great to take home the free goodies?
Take care!
WoW!! How awesome to get so many freebies at work!!! I guess technically I get to eat anything in the kitchen and work, but never to bring something home!! DANGGGG jealous!!
