Don't You Just Love A bargain

So this weekend was full of unexpected and very welcome bargains that came my way. It all started on Friday when I went out to dinner. We went to Outback and I order the Cyclone Pasta. The pasta contained chicken, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, and various other ingredients in cream sauce. I started eating my meal and then realized it was missing something but couldn't put my finger on it. Then I realized exactly what I was missing...The CHICKEN. I mean it was only the most important part of the meal. I mentioned it to our waitress and viola my meal was free! I really just wanted the chicken not a free meal but I'll take it. Then on Saturday at kickboxing class our instructor told us our 6 weeks was almost over. I asked her about the fee for continuing on. She explained that normally you had join and it was a membership but the fit club we originally joined would begin again in Jan. Then she said but I could work out a fee if you only wanted to resume Saturday class and not utilize the other class times. Perfect! I some how managed to knock a few hundred bucks off a membership in minutes and got the whole class a bargain! But today took the cake. Today was the first day that Anthony and I have had in a long time that required us to do nothing. We did homework all day then decided to give ourselves a mall break. We had to do some shopping for Anthony's mother's 50th birthday. We got some great deals including 50% off the gifts which turned into larger savings due to their error. Then when buying cds we got one free out of no where. But what really took the cake.....was dinner. We decided to go to Olive Garden for dinner even though I already took out chicken and planned our dinner. Well Anthony was eating his salad and found a dead fly trapped in his lettuce. (GASP) He brought it to the attention of our waitress and viola free dinner again. I mean a free dinner for both of us including dessert. A four course meal for zero dollars. To think we weren't eve going to leave the house! It was a good weekend to say the least.
