What did you get free in January?
I had to fill a prescription today. I received a $20 GC and a $10 GC from Target using a home mailer coupon booklet.
I then used those two GCs to pick up some Christmas clearance merchandise at 75% off. I am replacing my outside wreaths and garlands because they are over 15 years old and quite pathetic. I also bought a Christmas card making kit for next year, basket filler, some generic ribbon and gift boxes. Even though I recycle gift boxes, I went through all of my stash and the only things left are two small shirt boxes.

I don't know if we count BOGO items here. I usually think of them as just two at 50% off. But today I picked up the BOGO 500 count ibuprofen at Walgreens. I'm going to switch to that for my arthritis for a while, so it was a really good deal. A little over a penny a tablet. I won't have to buy that again for a very, very long time!
