Music:
As iTunes has pretty much become master of the music downloading universe, my free deals pertain to iTunes. But for those of you who do not yet own an iPod, iPhone, or iAnything, I feel your pain. I have only entered into the iUniverse within the last year myself, and I distinctly remember feeling poor and jealous every time someone would flaunt their apple products. Don't worry though, many of my freebies throughout my post don't require any kind of apple device to get and enjoy. Please bear with me when I do include Apple freebies. Anyway, here's how to get some free songs from iTunes! Every Tuesday the Apple store updates their dowloads section with several new free songs from many different genres, including music videos! There are usually 6-8 free songs available every week. On the iTunes home page, look for the icon that says "Single of the week + more". It will be marked with a yellow tab that says FREE. I've recently got great new songs from Radiohead and Pearl Jam!
Did you also know that you can score a free song and app download every week, just by stopping by your local Starbucks?! I swear, it's true! Starbucks displays free download cards on the counter near their condiments. Follow the instructions on the back of the card to redeem the download from the iTunes store. Simple as that! I've gotten songs from great artists like Lady Antebellum and useful apps like Momento (a journal) and Shazam (a song identifyer).TV & Movies:
Now I know Netflix has a free one month subscription, but once that subscription is over, you have two choices, either pay or cancel, neither of which leaves you with stuff to watch. If you want a similar (and in my opinion, better!) experience, Hulu! If you have not entered the magical world of Hulu, I insist you join now! http://www.hulu.com/ Hulu is a free internet service for watching TV shows and select movies. It also has a paid subscription for special privledges you don't get with free Hulu, but unlike Netflix it offers a huge variety of shows and movies for free! I have not yet seen the need to join their paid program, but they do have a free one week trial of that as well. I watch many current episodes of shows on my computer, many available the day after they debut on TV, perfect for if you missed your favorite show the night before! If you have an Xbox 360 or Nintendo Wii gaming system, you can also use hulu through them and watch your faves on demand on TV. Beats the heck out of paying for cable!
Books:
Now one of the world's favorite pastimes, reading books, can be done through technology! Books can now be enjoyed on devices such as the Kindle, Nook, iPad, PC, and many smartphones. As amazing as the look and feel (and even smell) of traditional books are, you can't carry your whole library in your purse or pocket! Unless you have ebooks that is. Here is a list of free ebook downloads from BargainBriana, many from well known authors! I have recently savored Maid To Match By Deeanne Gist. Hope you enjoy! http://bargainbriana.com/tag/free-kindle-downloads
