Hi All,
Happy Friday....
Lots to do today, including an appointment...
But there's only so many hours in a day, so I will get what I can done today, and if not there's tomorrow.
Going to make my grocery list now.
Have a great day all.

I won`t be buying much next week. Got the same old PC Plus offers again this week. Didn`t think I would use the checkout 51 much but it`s surprising how a couple dollars here and there add up. Hubby laughed at me when I was figuring out how to take and load the pics. Thought I was totally nuts to do that for the $2 I had that week. Last laughs on him when I can cash out my first $20!

The shelves are in my cupboards...now I have to give them a wipe and put everything back in. That should be fun. Some things I haven`t used in a couple years but every time I get rid of stuff I find I would use it the next week.

Good day all! Well, it's still morning here for six minutes, lol!

Crochetlady, I know what you mean about CO51. My son had been doing it on his phone, and now I'll have to figure out how to do it on my tablet - the taking the pictures part. Haven't used any deals on there for quite a few weeks, and I think I'm at about $12 or so.

sshhh I don't want to jinx this but I may have an order to do pew bows for a wedding.. keep your fingers crossed for me.

I didn`t sign up before because I thought you could only do it with a smart phone. I use my desk top computer.

Keeping my fingers crossed..hope you get it.

I am a regular sub for a Grade 5 teacher in town. She just texted to book me for 2 days in March. I said yes, but after I replied I realized that the one day is the same day as my next midterm exam for 25% of my grade. I think that it will be okay, even though I write that exam less than 30min after I finish teaching for the day. This group of students is used to me and know that I am taking a university course. I will have to make sure that they are not too loud, because sometimes they trigger a migraine in me (I have frequent, severe migraines). The prof said that most people find the second exam to be a bit easier and the marks on the second exam tend to be a bit higher because the content isn't so bad. I will also have a bit of a better idea of what to expect on the second exam and how to study for it. I plan on making my study notes each week after lecture, because then I will know what the prof had emphasized that day. The 2nd midterm exam is after March break here, so I won't be teaching the week before my exam (same as this week...because I was not booked to teach). Worst comes to worst and I don't do that well on this first midterm exam (I'll wait for the mark), then I can always cancel the one teaching day, March 31st. *shrug*

Anyone want to share any great bargains they are going to be stocking up on this week at the grocery store?

I just came back from SDM getting Milk & eggs and found that they had McCains Cool Quenchers on sale.
I didn't see this advertised so i don't know if it is all SDM's or only ours .
They are normally $1.29 and are on sale for .29 each
I grabbed 12 and left there pretty happy .
If I remember correctly, I think the sign indicated that they are on sale until Apr 4th (not sure if it was Apr or Mar )

-well took my sister-in-law to the doctors and will take her back for exrays on march 3
-then went to neighbors for a tea-she had a knee replacement-so gave her a gift bag of aveeno shower gel, Lysol foam soap,nivia bar soap,a puff,some body lotion,dove deodorant and perfume set,bath and body bubble bath-this all came to 12.00-way better than flowers she told me she had 3 sets of flowers-and I didn't have to go out and buy anything -see it pays to-stockup sometimes

-oh and didn't stop to shop on the way home -that's frugal even for me

[Frugalbigmama]

Awesome! Will have to check mine when I redeem this weekend. Great to make when the kids have friends over.

[Frugalbigmama]

Yeah. Got a raise and a bonus today. Will take the family out to dinner tomorrow night I think to celebrate. We rarely eat out and prefer to cook at home but sometimes need to get my teenager out of the house I think it's important to share info like this with them so they know what life is about etc.
