Shop Till You Drop! Yeah. I know you're not supposed to shop online using company resources. But, if you're going to do it, you may as well save some money.

The Mail Thread

We gotta have a place to talk about our freebies and goodies that arrived don't we?

I had a GREAT mail day today.

I got my shampoo from reflect.com
I got a free Tide Kick.
I got a music CD that I won from streudel palooza
I got another coupon train from another board that I am on
and I got my lunchables snack sample from the lunchables company (the one from start sampling came last week)

emeleel will become famous soon enough

I came home from traveling this weekend to find a small package on my porch. It was my hat from Hats.com which I registered for months and months and months ago!

Today, I got:

The Sunkist citrus peeler, plus recipes and coupons
First 2 Skittles/Starburst coupons
My $10 Skittles/Starburst check

(And a money order for an Ebay purchase, but that doesn't really count here!)

Too bad the life insurance bill had to come today, too!

7 more Skittles coupons for me

Hey Slick, they're also good for Starburst. If you don't like those either, just keep 'em handy til October and use them toward your Halloween candy budget. That's what I'm doing!

Oh yeah, we don't get mail on Sundays, but I still got another great freebie yesterday. I opened an account with an online bank and got $25 deposited into my account as a bonus for signing up. Free money is nice!

Too bad I was too late for the bank that was giving out $50 for signing up with them. That would've been even better! But $25 is a nice freebie!

Oh, I misread that. I thought it said two 10 lb bags of jelly beans. That was impressive.

I'm not sure how you got two bags, but 10 g sounds about right for what I've received from Jelly Belly. Two bags is much luckier than I've been though, however.

I got my garnier today too. Good choice, if I do say so myself. A pretty blonde.
