free X 3

1. i went to the verizon store to a) get my new phone activated, b) get the info on my old phone transfered into my new phone. i was told that b would cost me $10.83. But then, when it was all done, the lady didn't charge me at all.
2. i had a jamba juice coupon for a free small juice or smoothie so i decided to use it. when i got to the front of the line, the lady told me my coupon had expired. but then she said "that's all right," and when my drink came out it was not only free but it was GIANT.
3. after a photo taking jaunt, my friend ken and i went for coffee and a snack and ken picked up the bill, which was really nice.

not spending money in a city like new york is a rare treat and very relaxing.
