1) Went and got my FREE routine eye exam. Will go back soon to pick out eyewear (I have $150 towards lenses and $200 towards frames with my insurance).
2) Went to CVS and scanned my and DH's cards at the coupon machine. Got some good coupons on both (we seem to get some the same and a few different everytime) and DH's card even printed out a coupon for a FREE Unreal bar. So I got that right away.
3) Went to Staples as they had rung up 3 of an item I bought 2 of on Tuesday and I didn't see it on the receipt till I got home. I was prepared for a battle, but I went in and nicely explained what had happened and showed my receipt and the manager credited me back the $6.99 I was overcharged, no questions asked! Go Staples! Thank you for the great customer service!
4) Called and paid the big hospital bill ($2700!) for DH's knee injury, thus avoiding any late fees or interest.
5) When I got home I had a FREE sample of Woolite Dark in the mailbox along with a $1.00 off coupon for Woolite. I signed up for this FREE sample at http://samples.target.com. If you don't already use that site, it is great for freebies!
Oh and of course I worked 8 hrs too....lol. Happy with what I got done today. Now to relax in the hot tub with my book. 
Several small money saving items for the day
