Free Coffee Samples: Staying up late on New Year's Eve, or having trouble waking up the next morning? For java junkies, Coffee Fair lists sample offers and coffee-related promotional paraphernalia. Also, if you join the mailing lists of Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts or Caribou Coffee, you'll get an email for a free beverage on your birthday. Free Income Tax Software: There are a number of  options available for filing your income taxes. This website provides a good overview of free and low-cost tax software, depending on your needs.

Free Calorie Counter: There are plenty of calorie calculators available to help you keep your New Year's resolution to take off a few pounds. I like the one on My Fitness Pal  because of the other information and tools on the site, including an active community message board, a sort of "virtual weight loss support group."
