December 2019- Free-Bees

12 more FREE ITEMS this month! This month was a little slow for me, but every little bit

helps. I slowed down a bit because let's face it- December is a busy month. I am looking

forward to putting things aside to donate to our local food banks and charities.

Never fear because we are still going strong and starting to develop a few goals for the

upcoming new year.

As always I was able to gather these items through the use of Kroger Customer incentives,

Giant Eagle Advantage program, Walgreens Register Rewards and Points Program,

Coupons, Pinch Me, Saving Source, Bzzagent, Meijers buy 10 get the 11th free and

IBOTTA Deals and Bonuses.
