Here's a link for a free wildlife calendar for 2010. Offer is only good till Sept 15. I sent for one, it's got beautiful pictures of all kinds of neat wildlife. I used to get so many freebie calendars each year, from every company I do business with. The past couple of years though I haven't gotten one calendar, not even from the oil company. And with what they charge for heating oil anymore you'd think a cheap ole calendar would be the least they could do lol. So, do you still get free calendars anymore, or are you finding companies doing this less often? http://www.wildlifeforever.org/PAGES%20NEW/FREECALENDAR.aspx?gclid=CKT0mJDB25wCFado5QodXymPJw

Hello Joy. Years ago we used to also get free calendars. We had a filling station that gave these funny cowboy calendars. We always got one. Now no one gives calendars any more. Thanks for the link to these free calendars.

Hi Dee! Yeah, I used to get them from our local filling station too. Cowboy calendars, boy, I really would have liked those lol. I was curious if anybody else noticed the lack of these freebies over the years too. You're welcome :-) My grandson is just going to love this calendar!!

Nice of you to pass this link. At one time calendars were free but now a days at least where I live, trying to find one is like pulling hens teeth, unless of course you buy one. Have a great day!

That's so true, they are so scarce anymore. I like this free one from the Wildlife Forever Org. It's nice that they try and get the word out about wildlife, and it's great that they offer this kind of freebie :-) You have a wonderful day too Grandma! (Ps...I'm a grandma of 2 two. With # 3 on the way. This gramma bit's fun isn't it?!)

Thanks so much for sharing the link. Your right, you used to get lots and lots of free calenders, now not so many. I guess people all over are cutting back. Take care and have a good day, its going to be a nice one.

You're welcome :-) Yes, I guess it's just not us that's cutting back anymore. It used to be that they wanted their company name staring at you 12 months a year lol. I guess all those kinds of promos are maybe a thing of the past. Nice day here too! Working on getting outside plants in, especially my orchids. Hugs!

I usually buy one each year, our local stores have some really nice ones for like a dollar and they have decent size squares and some really nice art work. I buy a couple that way I can use them for more than one thing. [b]**AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~[/b]

I love free calendars. Around here lots of places still give them out. My favourite is actually one thats geared for farmers - its a "pocket calendar" regular sized but each month has large pocket to put bills and such in.

Nice to know that some places still give out the calendars. Sure would love to get one geared to farmers (I'm a farmer myself lol Crops...not animals anymore.) Anyways, that's real slick with the pockets in it, a very handy kind of calendar for being a freebie. Have a nice evenin' saundyl!

Many thanks. I will check this out. I do get a free calendar from the supermarket but the months of the year are all on one page so basically, it is not worth diddly squat to me. I don't even get my free diary from the bank anymore let alone a pen! Everyone and everything has been cut down where I live - recession is just hitting us full blown and ready to explode our economy apart. Blessings

Gee, I never got one from a supermarket. I did get a couple of 3x3 inch magnets with the whole year on them. You're right, they don't do diddly cause you can't mark anything on them lol. Plus at 3x3 inches, it's hard to even read the dates! Now that I think about it, I haven't gotten a free pen along the way either. I used to get those every time I turned around. Yes, it must be the economy is affecting everybody. Blessings to you too cynthiann!

Unfortunately I missed out on this one as I am just now responding back to this one, but Glad to see you posted this one to where others could take advantage of it. I am sure I will be able to find something I am interested in for cheap when I try to find one.

Hi Joy, Thanks lot for the free calender link. Will check it out later. I always receive a free calender from my insurance agent,but now my agent has changed to a new person and I m not sure this new agent will give me free calender for this coming year. Sometimes I also get the free calender from supermarket.As I am their member, I can redeem the free calender using my member card.
