What did you get FREE in May, 2023?

LED light bulbs from the power company. Technically not free because of the rates we pay, but a benefit.

Three large food service buckets from the grocery store, just by asking.

I got a free loaf of bread with a coupon. Worked out nicely, because we just ran out.

had enough store reward points for $10 off grocery bill

Got a free pound of bacon with store points this week.

couple of small flow blue saucers. Some books and magazines.

5 wooden hangers at an estate sale.

Mom provided lunch today and paid for take-out broasted chicken dinners.

Stopped by the estate sale we went to yesterday. I bought a plastic sewing box yesterday with a tray full of thread and bobbins, but when we got home the tray wasn't in the box. It didn't make sense to drive back for it yesterday, but since it was on our way to town today, I was hoping but not expecting it would still be there. It wasn't, but I found a new large square lightweight canvas bag from some kind of vacuum or leaf blower or whatever, a small waste basket for the house, and a smallish square plastic pail, all free. They will all come in handy.

One box of frozen veggies rang up as free. Apparently I was able to stack 2 coupons on 2 boxes for Green Giant Veggies - 2/$2 coupon and $1/2 coupon. So one rang as $1 and one was free.

A new snack bar has been opened near my friend's school, with opening benefits. everyone can get two chocolates.

a duplicate of a Thermos travel mug that I have, best I have ever used. Only travel mug I have seen that you can screw down the cover and it can bounce around the car without spilling.

A garbage bag. I went to the thrift shop and that is what they packed my stuff in! 🤣 I ain't complaining!!!!

My friend at work gave me a burrito.

Bottle of men's bath wash.

Boss bought us pizza tonight for Nurses' week... alas, I'd already brought in Chinese food that is too delicious to ignore.

3 bottles of St. John's Wort, which I take.

I got a small shopping bag filled with beauty samples. Facial moisturizers, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, even a toothbrush from Natural Grocers.

$3 off my grocery order, free large bag of corn chips with coupon.

Found a unopened purse-size Kleenex pack (10) while walking the dogs. Safeway gave a coupon for free marinara sauce, I'll get it next time I go there.

head of lettuce for the sheep, corn for the chickens, from food shelf.
