dumpster diving :/

called dh today at work...asked him to bring home the long thing with the grabby end on it:eek:...mentioned we were going to the recycle bin this evening:lolsign: managed to get a may source and a redplum YAY! but no P&G:bawling: since i only started couponing last weekend, i'm doing ok, but very bummed that i've missed the latested P&G....oh well, there will be another!
i'm loving the brag section of the site and enjoy seeing all your great buys!:cheesygrin: keep up the good work and hope to send you a great brag soon!

What is a long thing with a grabby end on it?

I went tonight to...I live in a co-op with two areas for recycling. I found a few smartsource, P & G, and a few aero plan pins (PM me if you want to trade), a t-shirt pin (now I just need one more) and a June 2011 Self Magazine. Sound sad (to me, just a bit) but I was hoping for a skinny cow coupon...I love the truffle one.

its a tool he uses at work to grab things that fall down into hard to reach places (he's a mechanic, so if a socket falls somewhere his fat fingers can't reach, he uses it). but i was hoping for a very full dumpster & kinda thought the tool would look like the one Mr Coupon has....anyway, there was no need for the tool, cause we had to get in the dumpster, as it was very empty (pickins were slim)

@ Donnalee 73, i did find a free green giant frozen bag 750g when you buy one hamburger helper! i had high hopes for the dumpster! possibly sunday might be better. i really wanted a p&g, and after all the brags on here, i had my heart set on one LOL!

Mr. Coupon?

he's how i got started on couponing. but, he is american. if you look it up on youtube (mr coupon or frugaltv) you will find great info on coupons...not necessarily all good in canada, but it gives you the basics of couponing in general. there are virtual classes to take weusecoupons.com that are helpful even for the beginner who is canadian and they are free. just read or watch. dead easy!

Keep it up you'll soon be a Dumpsta Diva before you know it!!

We got one last year sometime from the dollarama. I believe it was $2. It was plastic but had a great grip and we used it all the time to retrieve cat toys from under our bookcases. It's amazing how many lil toy mice end up under there and I got tired of moving the bookcases all the time.

oh yes! it would be perfect for that! ~the cats only get their toys back when i clean under the hutch!
