Plugin Boutique sends its affiliates a calendar of upcoming significant promotions. That includes the free with purchase stuff. Now, I can’t share the specific items by agreement. I can only say that they’re doing a bunch of different free-with-purchase items this month, and they’re all excellent. One of the giveaways is a plugin I once called one of the best plugin deals — considering the quality-to-price ratio — that I’ve ever bought and I use it regularly.

Tell us, tell us, tell us.
Or at least PM us 🙂

Fleer, if you only knew! My kids constantly kid me about oversharing everything. You know that I’d love to tell everyone. But I’ve ran affiliate programs for a major brand. If you violate an embargo agreement, you’re forever out of their program. I can criticize the heck out of anything they sell and still not get kicked out of their program. If I violated the embargoed release — which is basically like an informal NDA; you don’t get sued if you leak the details, but you will permanently end your relationship — that would be the end of my relationship with PB. I’m a small affiliate and the PB program has been the best hope of my being able to not have to continue to pour my own money into this site but have it be self-sufficient.

What I will say is that I buy way too much of this stuff, and you buy even more stuff than me (I know because you own pretty much everything I want and don’t own)! Consequently, I think the odds are good that you own one of the freebies. In fact, I’m pretty sure that you once recommended one of them to someone (in a post). There’s one that I am not completely sure you own, but if you don’t already own it, you’re definitely going to want it. I own every freebie and I paid for each of them. I don’t believe any of these have ever been free with purchase anywhere prior to this month. Finally, I’ll share this. they’re from some of my favorite plugin developers and are absolutely great plugins; I don’t think that anyone here would disagree with that. There are no meh plugins on the list. The big question is whether we plugin hoarders already own these.
