I made a few other purchases this week.

FREEbies for this week:

1. My parents as well as my husband's parents decided to give us money for Christmas for shelving to finish my workroom in our basement. We knew it would be a costly project and figured we would have to purchase supplies very slowly. It has been an ongoing project for over a year. My husband and I did online surveys which gave us $50 Lowe's Gift Cards each. I did a seperate survey which gave another $10 Gift Card. Our parents contributed the rest and our shelves are done! The only think left to get for the room is molding (which we have left over money for), small decorations, and a futon mattress. It has been such a blessing to see the room come together and with no money out of pocket! Total cost so far has been $415.
2. I won a give away from $5 Dinners. I received an Asian Sensations meal kit, Green Thai Curry Paste & Yellow Thai Curry! The meal kit was excellent and I will soon use the curries!
