Default Re: how much money have you saved, from freebies?

Probably about $60 worth of full rebates from Walgreens.

An adjustable height aerobics stair-step worth about $20 or $30 from Freecycle.

A hand cranked meat grinder from Freecycle. Uncertain of value. $30?

A two piece suit from Freecycle. About $150

A few freebies recieved by mail, learned about here. Value perhaps $12.

About 45 large bags of neighbors' leaves or grass clippings which I use for garden mulch and compost. Free soil builders! Value--who knows?

Various seeds received by trading my excess. Some were somewhat exotic, I'd estimate value at $80.

Sodas with full rebate, $40 (the spring Olympics game winnings + $10 rebates twice.) DH openned last bottle tonight.

Bottle Dove shampoo $6 because I reported to the company an error in the labling on their freebie sample packet.

Small box of blood glucose test strips $25, again because I reported a product defect.

Blood glucose meter $60 full rebate from manufacturer.

Engineering math text, Freecycle, $123.
