Freebies Galore

I LOVE FREE!!! Did you know there are TONS of things you can get for free? I don’t mean very discounted, I mean free! And I don’t mean crap, good stuff. Don’t believe me? Everything – EVERYTHING in the picture below I got for FREE in one week! I am serious. I also got a lot of things (not pictured) seriously discounted, we are only talking about free here!

Free stuff in the picture

• Full size Palm Olive Pure = Coupon in paper for $.75 off and rebate for up to $2.99. Cost $3.29 – $.75 = $2.54 rebate coming for $2.99. I actually made money on this deal!
• Pumpkin Soap =Price $10, used my $10 mall GC I got for free from Shop Smart Look Fab (see earlier post). Ok, so I paid sales tax on this one.
