I got my cat/dog coupon prize package today. As a result, I also found Nutro's web site and signed up for their frequent buyer club and $20 in coupons: www.nutroproducts.com.

I emailed Fresh Express earlier in the week, as I had thrown out a bag of spinach in response to the current e. coli scare and wanted to find out what they were doing for customers. I received a very nice reply by email and a letter in the mail today with a coupon for a free item as well as a 55 cents off coupon. Good customer service.

I finished my online trffic school and now have to go to a UPS store to take the test. Please cross your fingers for me that I have not waited too long and that the test will get processed in time. Procrastination is a bad, bad thing.

We had a picnic dinner last night and splurged on Starbucks lattes this morning. A relaxing start to the weekend. I need to make a grocery list and get out to the store this weekend. Such fun.

Today our last two kitties go to their new home. It will be a sad afternoon, but they are going together and going to a loving home, so it's good in the end.

For those of you who did a free gas trial offer where you submit claims for $10 once a quarter, I thought I'd post an update. I cancelled long ago, but I have gotten all of the rebates that I've submitted. So it seems worth it to send in the form every three months! I have one left.

I also got a Colgate rebate of $2.69 today, a free sample and a coupon. Good mail day.

I'm calling this entry a $20 challenge entry, because even though I'm no longer doing the challenge, it came from a trial offer that I learned about via the challenge.
