Feels like I haven't posted in forever. I think I've finished tracking the expenses for 2016 and the taxes are done. I completely missed the Samplesource yesterday and even set an alarm for myself the next week. I was also scooped on an article I was writing so that was another harsh loss. I had been working on it for months.

Frugalbigmama: Have you seen coupons anywhere besides RCSS? The only other places near me are FreshCo, No Frills, Fortinos, and Food Basics. Fortinos has usually been the best place for coupons, but I haven't seen the Barilla ones. I assume they're all gone from this area. The GTA is just too populated.

Granger: I'm glad to hear your grandparents are doing a little better. Prayers are with you still because life is always hectic with young ones. DD1 thinks she is a princess who can summon fairies like Sofia the First, from our last conversation. :-)
Yesterday was a bad day for the budget. I missed eight boxes of free cereal too. DH spent over $45 on a half dead, moldy bouquet for Valentine's Day despite me telling him every year not to buy flowers. I thanked him for supporting a local business and left it at that. Perhaps I will have to send him ideas all through the year of flower deals or things I won't return. Sometimes, that man ..... Argh!
On the bright side, the tax return will be in tomorrow supposedly. It was quite a lot as the baby was born last year and I can claim the full five figures for DD1 as the childcare limit will be $16,000. In two years, I will be using the full amount. :(
