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.Debra

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!
