Today I took the boys to the zoo. My friend and her two boys came along too. We have a membership (that was a gift to us) so we got in free. Only had to pay the $3 entrance fee to the park. I had a free pass for my friend too, so she only had to pay for her boys. It was really hot out there today, but we still had fun!
Only thing free in the mail today was a really cool reusable grocery bag. It has insulated lining for keeping your cold stuff cold! It was a thank you gift from one of my survey companies.

Lame
Today and Saturdays mail was mostly free mags: Elle Decor, Ladies Home Journal, Seventeen, and Body&Soul.
I went to the dollar store today and then stopped by Rite Aid and Walgreens cause they were on the way home and both had free stuff, but of course they were out of the free stuff. Dangit. I will try again later this week I guess...

The Met
Today I took the boys to the Fresno Metropolitan Museum because they had free admission from 5-8 pm. The boys had a blast at the Bob the Builder exhibit with lots of hands on activities. We also went to the free lunch today.
Vons had a decent sale: buy two 12 packs of Pepsi products and get three 12 packs free + a free bag of Tostitos. Not bad. Not free, but not bad.
The last few days of freebies in the mail:
Wed: Bodycology lotion sample
An overnight pad
Prevention mag
$10 off a $10+ purchase @JC Pennys
Thur: Nivea bodywash sample
Platex tampons (3)
Fri: ReadyMade mag

Walgreens
Today I went to Walgreens and got a 2 pack of toothbrushes for $3.49 and they gave me a $3.50 Register Rewards coupon. So I immediately bought a bottle of shampoo for $3.99 using the coupon brought it down to .49 cents plus tax! Plus I got another RR for $4 for my next purchase - not free but a nice deal.

PG&E
Friday's mail wasn't too exciting -- got some PETA stickers for the kiddos (these are funny) "I'm not a nugget" says a chicken... 'Pigs are friends not food' hehe... also got a survey to fill out and return and they stuck a dollar bill in there for me woo hoo! The boys also had their free lunch.
BUT.... the best freebie on Friday was PG&E coming to do weatherization! He did a whole bunch of stuff like:
New water efficient shower heads
New screens and all the sinks
New energy efficient light bulbs
A new light fixture in the entry way
A new light fixture in the back yard thats on a sensor
Patched all holes in walls (we had a few)
Put weather stripping on all doors going outside
A window a/c unit
Put foam padding on inside of all light switched/outlets
Tested all gas appliances for leaks
Did carbon monoxide test
And all that was free! If our fridge was 2 yrs older we would've gotten a new one too, but oh well we should save some money and energy with all that they did!
Saturday I donated blood and got a free t-shirt and quart of Baskin Robbins ice cream - yum! Of course I also pigged out on all the snacks at the blood bank too. Not much in the mail today, just a coupon for Luvs and a coupon for a free Gardin Meal? I think its a meatless frozen entree thing - we will see I guess.
