FREEBIES in my mailbox the last few weeks!!

So, when we got home from our vacation (Florida and Cuba!!), we had a big box of mail that came to our house the next day.  There were so many freebies, it was like Christmas!!  (A few of these we got sprinkled through our mailbox this week also).

Here's what we got:

4 Huggies diapers
2 Costco diapers
Box of Oatmeal Squares cereal
Box of Tampons (5 ct)
Coupon for a free fresh express salad (plus more coupons)
Kashi granola bar
Coupon for (another) free bottle of Pantene shampoo or conditioner
Mots for Tots apple juice (one juice box)
Glass cleaner with towels
Sample of Dove shampoo and conditioner
Sample of Arm and hammer toothpaste


I used the Fresh express salad coupon, I bought the bag that had spinach, dried strawberries, almonds, and a strawberry vinaigrette...I figured we should try something new since it was free anyways!   Last night we grilled steaks, had baked potatoes, and this salad...and it was delicious!!
