I haven’t posted about my mail scores lately and I thought maybe it is time to start doing that again?  Would you all like me to do a daily “What I got in the Mail Today” post?  Feedback please!

Today’s mail had two great freebies!  I received my Macsurance Insurance policy which included a coupon good for a FREE Kraft Macaroni 7 Cheese Dinner 7.25 oz (up to $1.60 value)!  I remember posting about this freebie back in June HERE and I literally lost sleep over posting this offer because I wasn’t really sure of what was being given away/if anything.  And I didn’t want any of you to be disappointed.  Well, I’m happy to report the Macsurance offer was both legit and it did include a coupon good for FREE Mac & Cheese!  **If any of you received this coupon, I recommend you hold onto it as it doesn’t expire until 11/30/11.  If you live in the land of true BOGOs, and if we can find a Kraft Mac & Cheese BOGO sale, you can get two boxes for FREE!  That’s how to maximize your coupons! 🙂

I also received my coupon good for one FREE Nestle Drumstick cone from my post HERE.  And, a FREE Golf Magazine magazine for my hubby (from my post HERE)  as well as The Oprah Magazine which I scored free using credits for Groupon (I think it was a Groupon deal?)

So… what did all of you get in today’s mail?  Would love to hear!!

To the countless people who drove through the horrible thunderstorm last night to attend the Addicted to Saving 101 class I gave at First Baptist Church of Indian Rocks, I thank you!  You all made me feel very at home and I had a great time talking with those of you who stuck around at the end!  My hope for all of you is that you will take some of the tips I shared and use them to start saving more money now than you ever have before!

To give all of you a head’s up, I just sent out the email I promised you recapping the topics we talked about.  Some of your email addresses I could not read so if you do not receive an email from me today, please email me and let me know and I will then send you a second email. 🙂  (My email address is addictedtosaving at hotmail dot com)

Thank you again for last night!  If you missed last night, I have a class scheduled for September 27th at Calvary Baptist Church in Clearwater.  Details will be provided soon.  I am also in the midst of scheduling future classes at churches in other counties.  Please email me if you have a church/organization/business/etc you would like to schedule me to speak at!
