    Hubby won me a Harley hip bag and a guy friend gave me a woman's Harley cap.
    A muffin tin didn't have a price or bar code at checkout. I couldn't remember the price and the price check person never came to the front. I told the cashier it was 3.99 or 4.99 but I couldn't remember exactly. There was a line; so she charged me $2.99. Not free, but discounted!

    I got a $7 coupon because I complained to Digiorno's Pizza that their pizza's couldn't get any smaller! It's our luxury item of the week and it was making me mad, LOL!

    So, I got the coupon in the mail and got the pizza for like 42 cents. Turned around and went up to Aldi's and got a 16" pizza for under $4 that was way better!

    Since I just discovered Aldi's, I'd say I'm not going back to Digiorno's ever again.

    I got free firewood...lot of it!

    I got free flower pots.

    Hubby and I got 4 free passes to the screening of a movie for tonight. We are taking FIL and MIL for FIL's b'day.

    Hubby and I attended a free service seminar at our local Harley dealership last night. Free food, drinks, and a goodie bag were provided.
