Was at a friends house for lunch today and on the way home I called into 'The Warehouse' (a large dollar type store) only to find it was closing down and was having a 50% discount storewide sale. There wasn't a lot left on the shelves (funnily enough...lol) but I got a few nice little Christmas gift bags for .40 cents each, two larger ones for .75 cents each. I also got 2 movie dvds for $1 each and a 3pk of plastic storage crates (for organizing Wink) reduced from $6.99 to $3.49.

Well, this didn't happen to me. It happened to my parents and nephew.

Once a week my nephew visits my parents and the three of them go out for lunch together. My father wanted to try a different restaurant. When they walked in, my nephew recognized the one manager there. The manager gave all three of them their lunches for free.

I got 2 Hershey SMores makers from freecyclers and lots of first aid supplies also all for our Brownie Troop.

Picked up carpet padding to make sit upons and also got a nice piece of brand new gray carpet for the office. All for free from Choice Home Center

Darin gets Safe Op rewards quarterly to use for products and I was able to get a nice first aid kit, a reuseable jansport lunch bag for Rachel and 2 Christmas gifts for Bailey and 1 for Darin

S'mores are graham crackers, choclate and roasted marshmallows.

You put the roasted marshmallow and chocolate between two graham crackers.

They are YUMMY!
Alot of times, you make these camping.
