Frugal Friday

My best deals this week:
Walgreen's (of course!!): Aquafresh toothpaste 2 tubes for free after store and manufacturer's coupons; 3 boxes Kleenex $0.75 after 2 coupons; 3 Canisters Lysol Wipes Free after coupons and rebate; 4 packs (10each) Bic Pens $0.20 after coupons and sale prices
Food Lion - 3 boxes Cinn. Toast Crunch $0.75 after coupons; 2 boxes Nature Valley granola bars $0.98 after coupons (and got extra 20 boxtops for our homeschool group with these two purchases!)
My best actions:
Canned tomatoes from a neighbor's garden that they were going to not use (they were giving them away!)
Went online and had inter-library loan books sent to local branch (my local library didn't have them so instead of buying I got them through inter-library loan and by sending them only 3 miles from home cut down on gas)
On way home from library yesterday stopped by a local consignment shop and took all her old magazines and books she didn't want (to use for Kindergarten projects); several good hardback books in the bunch, too
Got clothes line poles from a neighbor for hubby to put up (we haven't had a clothes line since we moved here)
Kept the orchard alive during this record heat and drought!
What are some of your ways to save???
