Freebie Friday

You know how I adore FREE things.

Last week I went hunting for a birthday card for Matthew, and found one at Chapter's.

I picked out a book for myself (I'm slowly collecting Anne Perry's Thomas Pitt mystery series) and went to the cashier. She handed me a card to swipe as part of a promotion.

She stared at the receipt, and said "You've won 100% off your bill; you owe nothing."

I said "What?"

It's true. I owed nothing. By purchasing a card, my whole bill was free because of the luck of the draw.

Wow. Have you ever won something 100% off? I did ask if I could go back and pick out another book, but I was denied. However, I saved $14.24. Just think if I'd picked out an armful of books, though...
