Ben & Jerry's free cone dayDon't forget that free cone day at Ben & Jerry's is Tuesday, April 12, 2011. No coupon is needed to get a free ice cream cone and you do not need to make reservations. Best yet, the freebie is for a full size cone of any flavor of your choice.

It's is rare that such a valuable and tasty freebie comes up so don't miss it. I plan to walk down the street to my local Ben & Jerry's for a free scoop of mint ice cream after lunch tomorrow. What about you?

Check back later today and through the week for more free stuff at WalletPop.

Friday freebiesThis week's Friday Freebies are about meeting basic needs, from carting home groceries in a stylish reusable bag from Target to doing your laundry with a free detergent sample and enjoying a free treat -- ice cream at Ben & Jerry's. There are seven freebies total. Enjoy your days off!

Get a free reusable bag from Target in celebration of Earth Day. The free reusable bag giveaway is on April 17, 2011. Last year supplies ran out very quickly, so make sure to get there early to be one of the million people who receive a free reusable bag from Target. This year's bags are very stylish - an orange, one-strap number that you can carry over your shoulder. The bag reads "fill, refill, and repeat," which frankly, isn't very eco. How about "reuse, recycle, repeat"? Use the bag 10 times, and you're keeping 25 plastic bags out of a landfill. Caveats: One bag per person. While supplies last. Check your local store opening times to determine when you need to arrive. Not all stores will have the same number of free reusable bags to give away.

free fragrance from LacosteGet a sample of free fragrance from Lacoste when you sign up to receive emails from Lacoste. Share your name, address, email, and date of birth.

You may sign up for additional LACOSTE email lists and clubs, but it is not necessary to receive the free fragrance sample.

Caveats: You must be 18 or older to receive this free fragrance from Lacoste. Available to residents of the U.S. only. Once you submit the form, your free sample will arrive in a few weeks.

free water bottleGet a free water bottle from Victoria's Secret when you log in or register this week for PINK Nation, a sub-brand of the lingerie chain, and buy any PINK item in the store. Offer ends April 11, 2011. Your log-in for Victoria's Secret won't work, unfortunately. Click on the link above, then click on the words JOIN in blue on the left side of the screen.

Enter your name, address, and email to sign up. You can opt into receiving PINK Nation's email and texts if you choose. The form also asks for your birth date, college (PINK is geared towards students), graduation date, and your top and bottom sizes -- but this information is not required to join. I received an email confirmation within minutes, which had a link to print the coupon for a free water bottle.

The coupon will have your name on it and a cashier may ask you for ID to verify.

Caveats: Online, catalog, and factory outlet purchases are not valid for the free water bottle. One per person while supplies last. Valid at U.S. stores only. Photocopies not accepted.

free ice cream sundaeGet a free ice cream sundae at Friendly's when you buy any chicken strips entrée. Choose from Friendly's Signature, Honey BBQ, or Kickin' Buffalo chicken strips. Each entrée comes with cole slaw and a dipping sauce. The free sundae is called Happy Endings, which comes with two scoops of ice cream and one topping. I'll take mint and chocolate ice cream with chocolate syrup, please!

It's unclear how long this free ice cream sundae offer will last, as there is no expiration date on the Friendly's website. The chain has more than 4,000 restaurants and ice cream shops across the country, so chances are there is one near you. Doesn't look like there are any limitations on the coupon, so if everyone in your group orders chicken strips, everyone gets a free ice cream sundae!

free Purex laundry detergentGet a free sample of Purex laundry detergent when you fill out a simple request form. Share your name, address, and email, plus your date of birth to make sure you are old enough to receive the free sample of Purex with laundry detergent (probably 13 and older). The free sample is for Fresh Morning Burst fragrance with Zout, a solution that apparently helps remove stains when you apply it before washing. This two-in-one product claims to combine the power of both solutions into one.

Once you submit the form, you'll get your free sample of Purex in about 12 weeks. It's unclear how long this freebie will last so don't delay if you are interested.

Caveats: The free sample of Purex laundry detergent is available to U.S. households only. Limit one per household per 12 months. While supplies last.

American ApparelNo joke -- America Apparel is giving away five free clothing items with every purchase of $10 or more today, Apr. 1, 2011, only. The only catch is that you have to pick the five free items from a list of 50, which is not bad at all.

The free items include belts, scrunchies, tank tops, T-shirts, thongs, bras, belts, pantyhose, zip-ups, a ski mask, and shirts that proclaim "Legalize L.A." Expect sizes to be limited and the best items to go quickly. See the entire list of free items at American Apparel. You pay shipping.

To get your five free items, put one item costing $10 or more in your cart, then add five items marked in yellow with the words "FREE WITH CODE APRIL1ST." It's unclear if you can get multiples of the same item, or if you have to get five different free items. Make sure to enter the coupon code APRIL1ST during checkout (the promo code box is on the payment page).

an ice cream cone aloft - free ice cream Free ice cream day at Ben & Jerry's is coming up! Mark your calenders for April 12, 2011 and be sure to stop by your nearest Ben & Jerry's for a free ice cream scoop between noon and 8 p.m. A promo page for the free ice cream day is on Facebook but you don't have to have a coupon or be on Facebook to take advantage of this freebie.

Sadly, I have not been able to take advantage of free ice cream day at Ben & Jerry's for a few years, but when I did way back when, I received a free full size scoop of my flavor of choice. That's one hot freebie!

Caveats: Check the free ice cream hours at your local store as they may vary. No purchase necessary.
