Free Items

January 29th, 2008 at 12:49 am

Back to work and of course I have my share of free things.
1. 3 Rolls of TP
2. Nice gold colored metal tin from someone's cookies. (good for storage or re-gifting)
3. Newspapers galore
4. Coupons galore
5. Local townie magazines I like to read that are from Jan and Feb 2008
6. 3 cans of Folgers coffee. Two new and one half used.
7. Stationary/Notepaper and stickers from March of Dimes throw away junk mail

Nice stash I would say. I did share one Folgers can with my friend who is really strapped for cash. That was fun to bless her. She gladly accepted my freebie.

I am still saving pennies and nickles in my change jar. It is fun to do and fun to save. Bills have slowed down a bit.....thank goodnes. I now have to start a slush fund for dance recital costumes.....I am way too embarasses to say how much it will be! It will be a huge amount. Due in March....so I putting some cash away here and there for that fund. Girls are with me all week except for Tuesday they will eat dinner with dad.
So one less meal to make. They ate a huge late dinner at his house Sunday afternoon so I did not have to cook dinner on Sunday as the girls were too full.

I did spend some money on Saturday at the dance competition. $48 on dance souviners....and dinner out with dance parents and girls for $36.00. That is always to be expected at these events.
I lucked out as one of the dad's does plastic surgery. We were seated next to each other. I decided to ask him about tummy tucks. He was happy to answer my questions and then he was happy to write off his dinner as a business expense! I learned alot. It helped me gauge how much money it will take to have one someday. Interesting to say the least. I think he was happy to answer all my concerns.

Well I hope to get more free stuff at work. I really like that part of my job. One never knows what one will find. It is like a treasure hunt. One sweet grandma's junk becomes my treasure!

    Looks like you got a free consultation at dinner too! Saves the copay you would have had to make! Smile

    That's right....I made out too! It was nice to ask some questions and feel he was being straight with me.
    It was an informative chat....plus I love to pick people's brains about all kinds of topics. It is stimulating to me.
    When I get to go out with other adults I make the best of it that's for sure! Thanks for the comment!
