    I'm going to get free theater tickets for a show later this month as part of Atlanta's GO ARTS (see Atlanta on the Cheap for details if you're in the area).

    I'm jealous of the free fresh produce.

    A Free 12-inch pizza today! A local pizza shop was celebrating its 3rd anniversary, and I went to get a free pizza. Only took about 10 minutes to wait!

    Oh, I did leave a dollar tip in their jar.

    I also got 4 Free L'oreal eyeshadows at K Mart, due to their double coupon days. They are priced at $3.49, and I used (4) $2 coupons from their Beauty Books in the store. $2 coupons double, and it took off the full amount (no overage), and I paid 48c tax.

    My sample of Nature Made vitamins (2 week supply).

    My sister gave me a new bluetooth device for my cell phone. She was tired of seeing me using the old one with a wire that connects to the phone. I told her I was too cheap and too lazy to go get a wireless, so she took it upon herself to upgrade me.

    A bunch of store coupons from Holly, thanks to the October coupon train!!

    A co-worker had bought 2 tickets for a school fundraiser (BBQ dinner) and she really doesn't like BBQ and she gave me the tickets. Plus, when I went to pick up the BBQ, I was given a free package of hamburger buns since they had so many donated to them.

    AND-----my best friend has given me a 6 pound can of Crisco and some cans of green beans as a thank-you for taking care of their dog next weekend while they are out of town. The Crisco will come in really handy with Christmas baking coming up soon.
