The first being a trip to Bath and Body Works to return 3 of 4 recalled lighters that I had bought last November.

For three lighters I recieved a refund of $31.80. Which is a great deals since I used a coupon to get them buy one get one when I bought them. 

My Question is should this total go into my spread sheet?


Next Stop was Victoria Secret 

I had a coupon for Free Panties WITHOUT making a purchase.  It also had a $10.00 of a Bra coupon attached, but a purchase was not nesecary for the free underwear!


Finally have you heard of Stapples Rewards?

I dropped off three empty ink Cartridges  for 3 $3.00 credits in staples reward dollars.  While I was there to drop off my direct TV boxes via FED Ex since we switched back to cable.
