Nothing yet, but I see bell peppers, corn, and carrots in my garden. I can't see the potatoes - duh, underground.
I hope I get free stuff soon - either garden or otherwise.

Vegies from my garden
A prescription for Nasonex- it is a new prescription for my son, and his doctor gave me a voucher for the first fill free. Normally I'd be too distracted to notice the voucher in the information packet, but my new frugal ways have made me much more observant.
$10 free groceries using a coupon on the sale flier for our local grocery store

A new blood glucose meter, after I mail in the rebate. This was VERY timely -- I was going to order it online tonight. The frugal fairy was watching over me.
51 large meatballs leftover from a big going away party at work. Meatballs aren't a favorite, and these are a little too peppery for my taste, but free food is free food.Donna
