What did you get free in May (2010)?
Am starting this up - to see if I can better keep track of what I really do get for free!!
Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.

I just picked up flower pots from a Freecycler. One of them I'm washing up, putting in some Chocolate Mint from my yard, and giving to my mom for Mother's Day. I gave her some before but for whatever reason it didn't survive. I'll give her a fresh batch to enjoy.

Too much stuff to keep track of, with our local town 'swap shop'! But my BIG find- a FREE wooden swingset. Yup, free. Cost us the $10 in gas we put in a buddy's truck to go pick it up, and $5 or so for some new dowels for new rungs. Will need a paint job too, but my 1 and 4 year old aren't complaining! Got if off freecycle, just happened to be online when it was 'posted'.
We didn't have a swingset yet- I wanted a metal one, was far cheaper to purchase, hubby HATES the look of the metal ones, but wooden was outside our reach financially. I must have earned some good Karma somewhere!
2 swings, a glider, a slide and a 'steering wheel', along with monkey bars and fort house.
May:
Coupon/drug store rewards:$15
$ Spent accumulating coupons: $5.99
YTD totals:
Coupons/drug store rewards: $759.04
$ spent getting coupons:$92.70
2011 total savings:$2068.18 2010:$1066.58
Meatless dinner: 13/52
Weight loss challenge:1.4/35

About 15 vegetable seed packets! My local hardware store had a box with last years' seed packets in it, marked "free"!
Whoopee!

Do gifts count? Or just things we score through freecycle and such?

Anything can count. My dad is notorious for bringing me boxes of cookies and 2-liter sodas. I always list them.
