    Default What did you get for free in December?

    I like this thread so much, decided to start one for the last month of 2008.

    I can even add to it!

    I got a Magic Bullet today for 550 Air Miles, arriving at my home in four weeks or less.

    In the mail today I got a free Kashi breakfast bar. Plus I got a coupon for a free box.
    At Target I got
    2 Ham steaks for free after coupon ( would of gotten more but the were out)
    3 cans of pillsbury 5 ct. biscuits they actually paid me to take these out of the store. Used a store coupon and manufacturers coupon.
    Got the parts to fix my oven $618.26 worth. It is still under extended warranty so no charge to us. (If we had to pay it would not be getting fixed)
    DH picked up our free tickets to Nutcracker which we will be going to see on Wednesday.

    Thanks to Kmart's double coupons, I got:
    -2 cans of Endust
    -2 bags of Lifesaver's Gummies
    -2 packs of Tic Tac Chills

    They were sold out of a lot of things I had coupons for, so I'll be returning later this week in hopes that they've restocked!

    --$20 in credit card rewards (took the money rather than the gift card options)

    A former co-worker gave me some very nice lined black slacks that were too short for her AND a bunch of tops she can't use any more.

    I had been needing a new pair of black pants and these are perfect.

    We got a $25 WM gift card from my Mom yesterday. I think I'm going to use it in place of cash for groceries, take the $25 grocery money and put it with the $40 Sears gift card we got last month and get me a badly needed pair of work boots.Yippee skipeee!
