Yesterday:

Grocery-- 1 quart of Breyers Rocky Road ice cream

CVS--The cashier was a manager and overrode the overages so I didn't get them... I'm sure that's in a policy somewhere, but I've never actually seen it done before. Hmph. I didn't (couldn't) complain, but it took away $6.60 in overages. Harumph.

So in the end, the freebies were:

2 more 12 packs of coke zero
2 gillette fusion shave gels
3 boxes of cheerios (regular, multigrain and peanut butter)
2 small bottles of palmolive

And I ended up paying a little less than the sale price on another item that would have been free if I'd had a different cashier...

Random note. I *DON'T* like the "CVS Cash Cards" they are giving away at the moment instead of ECBs. ECBs work like a coupon and lower the total BEFORE tax. Cash cards work like a gift card, taking off the value AFTER the tax has been added. So with our local sales tax, we get 6% more mileage from an ECB than a cash card.

I am so incredibly jealous...you have no idea!!!!

We have gotten so much... the couple we get it from doesn't eat it. Jackpot for us! We have even bartered some for haircuts, produce, etc. My husband is getting more today!

I've been waiting until February arrived, to look back and try to find ANYTHING I got for free last month.

It seems the only things I got for free were negative things like bad weather and injury.

So: related to bad weather: I got free, good-neighbourly help to clear the snow; free good-neighbourly good cheer and jokes; forced to use the free-for-Seniors bus, since I couldn't drive in the unploughed snow . . .

. . . . This isn't getting very positive, is it? . . . .

Related to the injury, I got free moral and physical support and encouragement from MyLovelyMan. Oh - and free lessons in patience and gritting my teeth . . . Yes, they were worthwhile.

Maybe I just don't recognise the free positives when they come along.
