anyway, another place to score some interesting free stuff is Finney's Friday Free Stuff. it's a random segment on the channel 7 news in the bay area. every friday mr. finney gives away some random stuff. all you have to do is send in a self addressed stamped envelope and voila! a few weeks later you have a coupon for whatever random thing they were giving away that week.

a couple of months back the freebie item was string cheese. i like cheese more than the average person. i don't know why. i'm guessing that it's genetic but i really have no way of knowing this for sure. hahaha... so i sent in my obligatory sase and *poof* a couple of weeks later i had my coupon for free string cheese. i was excited by the coupon but i am also a lazy bum so i put it in my purse and told myself to remember to pick it up the next time i was at the grocery store. fast forward a couple of months... to december 30...

oh yeah! that coupon is still in my purse! hmmm... wonder when it expires... OH! december 31st! better go get my cheese! so i headed to the store, coupon in hand and proceeded to purchase a 36 pack of string cheese for free! that's a lot o cheese. even the clerk commented on the freeness and the quantity of cheese. she even gave me the tip that string cheese fares well in the freezer. i shall try it out! and if you want some string cheese please come over and partake in some. i like to share. =)
