    printed off the Metro Flash coupon but now I see the tubs of Irresistibles Ice cream still comes to $2.00 for each tub....I may pass on it. First I'll check the freezer to see if 2 tubs can be squeezed in there somewhere.
    I do it every year...most especially to my great-aunts and great-uncles and grandparents. There are a few cousin's I've stopped because they wouldn't get back to me about their addresses

    Good afternoon, everyone.

    Seems like November just rushed past in a flash. That's what I get for having too much fun. I finally had a quiet day yesterday, so of course the computer went wonky. Think my jealous boyfriend tampered with it, he's been feeling neglected lately (talk about clingy, sheesh). He was decidedly not impressed, tho, when I went off to the Xmas Market & came home with a red foam nose-ball-thingy and tried to convince him to wear it. Lily dog was obliging enough, but her nose is a wee bit too big, and Quincy cat, well, he has barely any nose at all by comparison.

    In keeping with not having any rest for the wicked (& spending as much time as possible having fun), I'm off in a little while to meet some friends (good food, great conversation, amazing company). Wonder if the jealous boyfriend will howl at me when I get home?

    Hope everyone is well. Enjoy what's left of this dark dreary day.

    I just went shopping at Sobeys for their 10% off Tuesday. I paid $90 for $170 in groceries after getting the 10% discount, redeemed 5 FPCs and $30 in AM. Once I got home with my three young children I realized that I will have to go back to the store to get two SCOPs on a 2kg container of Kraft peanut butter and a box of turtles chocolates. I also discovered that I was missing a grocery bag of food. I called the store and they have it at customer service. The person who was bagging got called away during my transaction and left my bag where I didn't see it.

    edit: I just wanted to add that I also received 17 stickers towards my knife sharpener. I already redeemed 70 stickers for a super sharp 8" chef's knife that dh picked out.

    Great shopping! Wow, we have such different shopping lists - all that's on my list for Sobey's this week is cauliflower, lol! Wondering if you missed Safeway's pb last week when it was on for 2.99, or do you just go through tons of it? It's crazy that it's 5.99 this week at Sobey's - how much is the 2 kg?

    @ Natalka
    A lot of the items that I bought today are things that don't really go on sale (ex: liquid smoke, no name cotton swabs, milk, eggs, d-drops for the twins). The PB was put in the wrong spot, so I ended up returning it. I redeem FPCs and other coupons on 10% off Tuesday because the 10% is calculated on the before coupon $ amount.
    The only grocery stores in my community are Sobeys, No Frills, CO-OP, and a basic super Wal-Mart. Safeway is far away from me.

    Wednesday already we are half way through this week.

    I managed to clean off our coffee table last night which was mostly things that had not been put away including most of my yarn receipts.

    I have started a purple puppy pillow for my cousin's little girl and I still need to start the sneaker slippers for my sister. There is still one order pending that Mom took but I am about to give up on that order as I told them I needed the details by this weekend or I probably won't be able to finish in time for Christmas and they do not seem to be in a rush to get me the info so I have decided this is not my problem to chase them.

    I need to send a wish list to my Step Mom for crochet supplies but I am not quite sure what to put on it. I when first starting out I managed to get most of my supplies super cheap over Ebay so now it is just buying items for each project. I know there are a few things I need but not sure if Mom has already bought those for me. Might have to surf the net tonight to see what I can find and maybe ask for a few things I wouldn't normally pick up for myself.

    Well time to get back to work I have a presentation at our managers meeting next week which seems to be taking on a life of it's own and keeps expanding. Have a great day everyone.

    Happy hump day! Going to work my butt off at work today- tired of the piles not going down! Everyone usually takes 2 weeks off around Christmas so the weeks before seem to be super busy! Tonight's dinner is all planned- Chicken drumsticks on the bbq, leftover rice, fries and ceaser salad. Then we will put up the tree and decorate it during Survivor
