Are you a sucker for freebies, like me?
When the Japanese cosmetic brand, Shu Uemura, officially launched it's entry to the Philippine shores, I remember agreeing to be a part of it's focus group. It was held at one of the offices of a high-end shopping mall, and promised free product samples and catered snacks for the participants.
I was just newly-married then, and my husband was aghast that I would so willingly allow myself to be held captive for two or more hours, all for the sake of a bagful of freebies. "Doesn't your time count for anything?" he asked. Uhm, not really. And besides, who can argue about the value of time when a bottle of the famed Shu Uemura cleansing oil is at stake? :)

Anyhow still on the topic of freebies, these came in my inbox a few days ago and I just thought that I'd share it with you.
Get a FREE Chicken Bourbon Sandwich sampler from Delifrance! All you have to do is to print out the online coupon from here. Present the coupon to the cashier and say their tongue twister 3x fast! “How much bourbon could a chicken drink if a chicken could drink bourbon?”
