~We got a dresser yesterday. The in-laws are moving and it used to be DH's. I cleaned it up and it's now storing craft supplies.
Also, my mom brought over three boxes of PB chocolate wafers that I've been craving and haven't been able to find. Well, find cheaply anyway. I wasn't about to pay $3.50 a box for Little Debbie.
My mama is the best!~

Whataburger gave away free burgers for their 60th anniversary a couple of days ago from 5 - 8 p. m. You just had to wear something orange. Hubby and I got two burgers for free and split a drink and fries that we paid for.
Every Whataburger had a line out the door and around the corner, but they moved really quickly.Mary

Stopped at a veggie stand Monday and asked about peppers. WAY to high at the store. She said she didn't have any good enough to sell. She proceeded to GIVE me about 10 peppers, 2 bunches of bananas and a huge watermelon that was the best we'd ever had. Watermelon had about a 3 inch discoloration. Bananas were ripe and peppers were SLIGHTLY wrinkly. Wouldn't take a dime.

So far this month
1) 2 mocha frappes and 1 fruit smoothie from Mc Donald's. I was shocked to see the total before the coupons. It would of cost us over $7 Free much better
2) 1 kid's meal at Subway
3) Buddy won a $25 gift certificate to the local music store.
I also got $10 off $10 or more coupon to Jc Penney's in the mail
I also got $3 to use in store at Staples for recycling my used ink cartage

Free medium coolatta at dunkin donuts with a coupon we had. My BF and I shared it because we rarely ever get those kind of drinks and know we won't drink a whole one by ourselves.
