So last night we took a box of books and a few DVDs to Half Price Books to sell. They made us an offer of $20.50. We already had a $25 gift card that CBG won in a poker tournament along with a book on poker that they let us return for store credit. Plus, I had a 15% off coupon from a flyer that came in the mail. We got 3 books and a set of alphabet stamps (for scrapbooking) for 24 bucks. Still have $7.10 on the gift card and got the $20 in cash back. We took the $20 to BDs Mongolian Grill and had dinner which fed both of us last night and I have leftovers for lunch.
Wooo!!!! Free nights are great!

It's makes the night much more enjoyable when it's already paid for. Good job!

Sounds like y'all had a great time, made even better by being free.
