    Default Frugal Diva of the week

    Ok, I posted about this a while back and then forgot about it so here it is. Post your most frugal finds or activities of the week here and at the end of the week there will be a winner. I was thinking we could rotate donating the prizes, that is if you guys want prizes for the winner. I will donate something for the first week if we decide that is what we want to do.

    Also, who was it that said they would decide the winner? Was it Sara?

    So, get to posting all those frugal things you did this week!

    I walked into GNC with coupon for FREE bottle of GNC vitamin C 500 and walked out with the bottle of vitamins and 2 free packs of sunflower seeds for a total cost of $0.00! The guy jokingly said, that will be zero dollars please! LOL!!!

    I also bought some Pillsbury ready to bake cookies with a .75 off coupon and it has a try it free coupon attached, so I made .75 on the cookies.

    I also got the $20.00 gift card from the the Natrol deal for Wal-Mart. I got the natrol products free and the form was in a magazine subscription that I receive for free. So made 20.00 minus the .37 cent stamp on this deal!!
