What did you get for free in May 2011?

My neighbors are moving out, and had a giant dumpster put in front of their house. They cleaned out their garage, so I scored the following:

box of hangers (nice, because we had recently broken several)
plastic under-the-bed container
large plastic tub with hinged lid
~ 30 Barbies and other dolls, plus clothes and playsets
carryon suitcase (just needs the handle removed or replaced)
(2) lunch-sized coolers (to be donated)
tupperware
coolpak for the coolers
hairbrush (to be cleaned and donated)
purse (to be donated)
bathmats (good, because we needed a set for one of our bathrooms)
trash can (the wife needed one for her office)
Supersoaker water gun

That was just what was on top of the dumpster. I haven't decided if I'm going to do any further digging, but I'm sure there is plenty more buried away.

Just got a free month of Grooveshark's Anywhere account upgrade because I notified them that their surveys have not been showing up correctly in my account.

Also, won an Amazon gift card at a twitter game at the conference last week, but don't know for what amount yet.
