    Default Woah, Nellie! More mail than I've ever gotten before.

    Wow! Huge mail day here- got almost as much mail in one day today as I picked up for the whole week we were on vacation.

    Among other things, I got:
    -3 magazines
    -Gooseberry patch raisin cookbook
    -Bzzkit for eBillplace including a t-shirt
    -4 samples of that instant iced tea you add to a water bottle
    -sample of ensure
    -sample of Wisk
    -coupon for free Boca product up to $6
    -2 coupons to get DD's picture taken for Christmas at $3 off (almost 1/2 off) the regular fee
    -survey cards


    I know most of this should go in the September Free thread, but I am just astounded at how much came today! The mailbox was stuffed and there was still a bag hanging from the box with three packages in it.

    At least it wasn't all bills.
    Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.

    I would so love to receive that mail than what I usually receive... LOL I do occasionally end up with more "freebies" than actual mail, but it is so nice NOT to have a bill once in a while. Good job on all the freebies....
