1) While waiting in the airport for our flight home this morning, someone boarding the flight ahead of us left the entire paper he had been reading, and I picked it up to read it. I found that all four sets of coupons were still in the paper, so I got the newspaper and my first group of coupons for 2011 completely FREE.
2) Since my husband flies so much for work, I have a companion pass so that I fly free with him. We flew today, so my flight was free.
3) I got a free soda on the flight this morning.

4) Oh, yeah...what was I thinking? DH flew on air miles today, so his flight was free, too.

7) After getting back to TN, we went through Burger King and got two of the BOGO free chicken sandwiches for our lunch (DH, DS, and myself), so we had a total of four, two being free.

It's not for keepsies but our landlord needed somewhere to store her 42" TV!!!!
So, yep, we offered to store it in our living room on the TV stand, haha. She bought herself a new one = a fancy huge flatscreen. This is a tube type, but it's lot nicer than our 19" we were using, although the hugeness of it sort of overwhelms my little living room!
This was a SCORE.

Yesterday I got Free breathe right strips from walgreens. I went in to get some of their weekly deals and the catalina printed out a coupon for a free breathe right strips up to a $7.99 value.... So I went right back into the store and got them. 10 strips of menthalated strips...will come in handy during the cold and flu season! I printed free coupons off the internet yesterday. Hmmmm that's it for now...Hopefully will get some freebies in the mail today!

Hey, Hotprincess, I just got that Catalina at WG yesterday too! I didn't notice it until I got home so I will use it the next time I go in.
While at WG yesterday, they paid me $0.26 for some dishwasher detergent (combined a sale + Register Rewards + coupon).
At CVS, I got a free container of regular dish soap. It was on sale for $0.88 and I had a $1 coupon that they adjusted down. I also used some ECB to get three packs of gum for dh for free.

This year I am keeping track of everything I get for free!!
Roundtrip airfare between here and Kauai - mahalo DMIL!!
While I don't expect things to rise to the height of free air fare, I'm ready to be more aware of what's coming into my life!!
I found a nickel in the WalMart parking lot yesterday!!Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.
