If you've got Lego lovers in the family, here's an opportunity to indulge their passion and it won't cost you a dime.

The Lego store at Crabtree Valley Mall is hosting its first Mini Model Build of 2013 on Tuesday, January 8.

The free event begins at 5 p.m. and will run until supplies are gone.

Kids ages 6 to 14 will build...

Treat yourself -- and a friend -- to free Starbucks.

All you have to do is sign up via Facebook and you and your friend will get a free tall cup of Blonde Roast. That particular cup of coffee normally runs $2.60 so a pretty generous freebie when you multiply times two.

Send a friend or family member a free care package courtesy of the Kleenex company.

Snag this freebie with the purchase of specially marked packages of Kleenex tissue. Once you register for an online account with Kleenex, all you have to do is plug in the code from inside the package.

Your friend or family member will receive: lip balm, a 1 oz. hand sanitizer, a coupon booklet, a small box of Kleenex, a purse-size pack of tissue and a card redeemable for four music downloads.

Buy several boxes and send several care packages.

Be sure to put this freebie on your calendar: Subway is giving away free breakfast sandwiches and coffee later this month.

Make your reservation now and get a free breakfast melt and 16 oz. Seattle's Best coffee the week of Jan. 28 through Feb. 2.

You'll have your choice of building your sandwich on a 3-inch flatbread or an English muffin.

Enter your town or ZIP code to find a Subway nearby and then choose the day and time you'd like to go.

Here's an extremely generous freebie for you: a free eight-load bottle of Method laundry detergent.

This one won't last long so if you're interested at all, act quickly.

Head over to the Method Facebook page to sign up.

The page is running a little slow so have patience. I was able to get through on my second try.

Your bottle of laundry detergent will arrive in four to six weeks.

This would be perfect to give to a college student or pack for a week's vacation at the beach.

If you'd like to start filling your mailbox with freebies and coupons in 2013, start the new year off right with this freebie from Propel Zero.

Head over to the Propel Facebook page to sign up for a free sample of Propel Zero On-the-Go. You must hit the like button before it will allow you to sign up.

Flavors include kiwi strawberry, lemon and grape.

The sample will show up in your mailbox in four to six weeks.

The gifts are purchased and you're feeling pretty good about holding the line on your holiday budget this year. But you still have one major Christmas chore to complete: the wrapping of the gifts.

It's a time-consuming venture, for certain. But it can also be expensive. And then there are the costs to the environment.

Last year, I wrote about how I used old maps, tattered sheet music and hand-sewn drawstring bags to wrap gifts. Click HERE to read about my frugal gift-wrapping ways and see photos of the finished projects. There's even a bow made out of expired coupons.

This year, I've got 10 more ideas for completely free gift wrap, which I found while browsing the virtual bulletin board Pinterest. (Click HERE if you'd like to access the links to these and other DIY gift-wrap projects.) All of these projects can be completed without spending a dime and they'll help you tread more lightly on the planet, a double play in my book.

You're on your own for the time involved.

Heads up, freebie lovers.

There's a new free sample available on the Target Sample Spot site.

Sign up HERE for a free sample of Maybelline's Dream Fresh Beauty Balm.

Wondering what that is?

The product is advertised to blur facial imperfections, even skin tone, hydrate and provide sun protection, among other things.

Before you spend your hard-earned money, try the free sample.

Thanks to everyone who entered the Chick-fil-A calendar giveaway and an extra thank you to folks who stopped by the Centsible Saver Facebook page to enter for a coupon for a free Peppermint Chocolate Chip milkshake.

The calendar winner, chosen using randomg.org, is:
