The best things in life are free...

I'm working on mastering the art of acquiring free stuff. Here's a partial list of what I've managed to get recently without spending a penny:

-A Queen sized mattress and box spring (Thank you Elise!)

-Fresh-made at the table in front of my eyes Guacamole for two...

-The coziest, well-worn flannel pajama pants

-A heavy-duty metal sauce pan

-Used to be small, but with some water it's now large house plant, which was free with the purchase of a haggard $1.50 coffee table at a garage sale in Minneapolis.

-Plastic floor mats from the car dealer

-1 lb. peanut butter fudge

And now, for the morals of my story:

1) When you need something, tell people. They might have what you need just lying around or know someone else who does. You've heard it before: One person's junk is another one's treasure...

2) If you are an unhappy consumer, write a letter! You just might get some free fudge or an $100 flight voucher.

Good luck and happy savings!

Lizz - thanks again for taking care of the boys for us while we were out of town these last two weekends. Be sure to ask us if you need something as we very well could have it or know someone who does. I am now officially challenging you to update your website more often that me...
