Calgary Coupon Hunters *HEADS UP*

[MommyMelanie]

I need to get more organized so I have a coupon binder to carry around and not just a pile of envies - lol! I sometimes bring one of those black re-usable shopping bags with me and put my coupons, a flyer or two if I'm PM'ing a few item, and my wallet in it - works pretty well, but would work better if I was better at organizing my coupons

I would love to see your binder. I use wipe container and then put the stacks I am using that day in a envelope all labeled with my shopping list and I put my high value coupons in a little plastic accordion file folder thing.

I do pretty much the same as you MommyMelanie - I used to be organized enough to have a binder, but my binder is almost empty at this point -lol! If you are able to make it to one of our coupon swaps you should see some of the binders - they are amazing!

Let's plan a trip to Market Mall, then. Monkey, are you able to come?

FOr sure! It's a Hilroy with a zipper, has 3 accordion files, an attached zipper pouch. Then I bought the card holder pages at Zellers and sheet protectors (which don't work as well, but good for bigger coupons). It's good, but it's hard to keep up with I find. I have to make an effort to put the back in.

[MommyMelanie]

I am afraid the coupons would fall out of the plastic card holders. They dont do that Dental?

Hahaha I get respite once a week and use it to do all my errands. Usually it ends up with a trip to london drugs. Or I would have to take the girls. And its hard enough when I am alone, then I get can I have this, can I have that.

LOL I more often than not end up tearing open a package of twizzlers in the middle of the store just to keep DD quiet

I would love to come to market mall, but DS usually goes for a quick nap sometime between 9:30 and 10:30 The best time for me would be between noon and 2:30.

I have a season pass to the zoo and usually go at least once a week...I also have a guest pass that can be used by anyone and children 3 and under are free, so if anyone ever wants to come with me, you can get free admission

[MommyMelanie]

Man trying to get everyone at one time is going to be hard. For me 12- 230 is totally no good. Leah has many therapists in the morning then a quick nap and then another bunch come in the afternoon.

I could come this week as the aide in the morning hasnt started yet. So its up to me to do it and I could justify the market mall play area as physio since there is alot of climbing and also she could practise walking through the mall.

That is sneaky. I did take my oldest one time with me since it was on the weekend and my in laws were in town and my mother in law wanted to see how I do it. And Hannah ended up getting a webkinz. Hannah convinced grandma because there is no way I would get her another. She has like 30

[calgarymama]

Monkey, 12-2:30 is usually when my DD takes her nap - our kids are on opposite schedules - arrgh! I often take DD to the zoo too, maybe we could meet there one day and the kids could play at the playground, depending on the time. Again, I usually try to go in the am or around 2-2:30 ish.

MommyMelanie, would Wednesday at 9:30 work for you and your DD's therapy schedule?

[MommyMelanie]

I could do 930 calgarymama. meet you in front of the play area where you sign in?

[MommyMelanie]

AKE- can you come too ?
DentalDiva- Can you make it?

Anyone else with little ones I miss. I haven't met anyone so I don't know who has little ones and who doesn't- Except AKE

[DentalDiva]

Yes! Wednesday 930 Market? We can be there for sure!

[calgarymama]

Sounds like a plan 9:30, Wednesday, Market Mall at the play place!
