Free Stuff!

I ordered three books today with a retail value of around $50.00. I am getting them for free and the shipping is free!! Those Amazon points are paying off!

What is the best thing you ever got for free? Let's limit it to tangible things.....

Comments:
My husband won a FREE trip from our local radio station to Orlando/Busch Gardens shortly after we were married. I still have a big box of FREE seashells from that trip too!
 
So the question is "What's Not Really Good For Free?"
 
A trip to the Bahamas - all inclusive hotel and airfare from a former job. It's funny because I knew I was going to win a prize that night, but I didn't want to win the trip because I didn't have anyone to take - I wanted to win the gift certificate to the Wiz. I ended up taking my cousin.
 
I don't think I've ever gotten anything actually free unless it was a gift and someone else had to pay for it. What books did you order?
 
It's not quite a trip to the Bahamas, but last year I won a free night's stay at the Renaissance Ross Bridge Resort in B'ham. I took my mom with me and we enjoyed a fun shopping getaway. Very luxurious accommodations, quite a treat for both of us.
 
I won a bicycle when I was like 10 from a radio call in show....I think we sold it to a guy from church who needed a bike for a paper route (it was an adult man's bike). I'm sure I got to spend the money, but I don't remember how!
 
I love getting free stuff and have gotten a few things but can't remember a single one of them at the moment :)
 
I am a bit of a clothes horse, so anytime I get "2 for 1" I get weak in the knees!
 
This week it was free fair passes for our family. It would be so easy to drop $100 at the fair, you know?
 
Tickets to the 2006 Sharpie 500 at the Bristol Motor Speedway!
 
Well... I just ordered 5 DVD's (of the same thing) and they sent me six.

Then, at the grocery store, they gave me an extra bag of someone else's groceries.

Hmmmmm....

Those don't really count though, b/c I'm gonna tell them to bill me for the extra DVD, and I'm taking the extra dry goods back to the store! :-)
 
6 tickets to the 1999 fall Bristol race, or a trip to Jamaica, 4 tickets to Fall race at dega in 1998, or 4 tickets to michigan race in 2001, or golf trip to San Antonio, or trip to Cancun twice.

I'm the king of free.
