1. Taking advantage of a free birthday drink from Starbucks, including an extra shot of expresso. Yum!
2. A local store had a grand re-opening. We took advantage of some good sales and spent enough to use an additional $10off coupon. All told, we saved $27. I'll take it.
3. I was gifted 25 skeins of yarn for my Linus Project baby blankets. That saves me a ton of money!
4. Went thrifting and took advantage of their military discount and saved $18.68
