    Default What did you get free in April (2010)?

    Hope nobody minds but,I'm starting out the new April "What did you get free" thread and figured I'd better differentiate between this and the "Stickie" thread from last April. So far, I've gotten free:

    --bag of salad
    --gallon of green tea
    --container of ice cream
    --package of hotdogs
    --block of cheddar cheese

    All with our grocery store's latest "meal deal" .

    We've been given a huge pile of brick and stones, which we hope to finish moving tomorrow. The plan is to use the bricks to pave a walkway and patio, and use the stone for a fountain or rock garden.

    LOl, not even close. I just discovered the ribs in the freezer a few minutes ago and asked dh about them. He forgot to tell me his mom gave them to him because FIL didn't like the other package.

    I always forget to post here and that reminded me of the bag of sweet potatoes that they didn't want either.
