So, on the receipt from our meal out, the two free drinks were itemised at £8.30 each (£16.60 total) so do I put that value as the "made" amount?
What category does that go under?

@Grumpy_chap This a saving. You are not making anything.So it does not count.

Many thanks @I_Love_comps
But, in the start of the thread, it says "FREEBIES (VALUE OF)"
So, is this not a freebie?

One more week of February left to go. I've still got loads to put on Vinted and a few small things on FB Marketplace. I've got a couple of things that may be more suited to eBay so may give that a go soon and we are going into CEX next week with a few bits and pieces. I still haven't got around to Etsy (were does the time go).
Hope everyone has a good week next week.

I have had an amazing month this month with £621 from a mixture of Prolific, premium bond win and some excellent freebies - National Trust free day pass and our town put on sample well being classes for residents so I did a dance class, qi gong and a sound bath which I have counted at £10 each as I think this is about what I would have paid if I had booked them privately .
