free, I don't think I have gotten anything free.

I did hit a buy one get one free sale, does that count? LOL--I had to pay though to get the free one..LOL

I mean I swapped some of my farm pork for my friend Barb's beef from her dairy. Is that free? LOL

I don't get alot of free stuff, I ain't the lucky type. Well...I do get stuff from Mom and all and it is free....but never that good score!! :)

A bottle of bath and body works fragrance spray ($5 worth). Free with coupon no purchase necessary.

I let my daughter pick it out and keep it. She paid for it with the coupon. It was a nice surprise for her and she is thrilled.

Afterward I kicked myself thinking if I had shopped myself I could have saved the free thing for her Christmas stocking. Oh well.

A box with 24 packets of microwave popcorn. I had a free coupon :)

30 half gallons of ice cream.... Was in the dollar store the other day, and happened upon the gal emptying the freezer. After I asked her what she was doing.....I ended up with the ice cream. It was a bit soft because the freezer had quit. But nothing coming out of the box corners and it all set back up.
I shared with the kids of course. Way too much ice cream for this household. Even with the freezer out in the garage to slow down the temptation. I just have a hard time saying no to free food.

3 large brown grocery size bags of free tupperware freezer containers from a garage sale.
