1- My town voted to start paying for our residents to use the neighboring town’s library again. So I no longer have to pay $25/year!
2- One of Abby’s sippy cups cracked and was leaking. I wrote to the company and they sent me two $7.99 off coupons so I could replace her cup, and get more, for free!
3- My kitchen trash can broke. We were given a Walmart gift card so I was excited to get a higher quality, nicer looking trash can….without the gift card there was no way I was spending $50 on a trash can. All the cans in the size I needed had dents in them, both the stainless steel and the black. So I asked at the service desk if they could take any money off for that. All they could do was 10% but that was better than nothing. 🙂
4- I used duct tape to fix my vacuum. I know, sounds kind of ridiculous but I only had three other options at the moment: Â
     1- Get it repaired for free but I was responsible for the shipping, both ways (very expensive) Â
     2- I could get a new one at a discounted price or Â
    3- Buy a cheapo brand.
I opted to just slap some duct tape on it and buy some time.
5- We got our first harvests from the garden! We got enough peas for a couple meals. Matt also found a number of wild blueberry bushes around the yard and a few raspberries.
