Great idea, I am collecting things to sell and everything is stacked in the garage but deciding whether to do a big garage sale in the spring with my daughters or just start selling on kijiji, I hate haggling so I'm not sure what the best way to go is!

[Frugalbigmama]

I hate garage sales too lol. I have a pile in the garage too (can't wait to get my Rubbermaid bins back!) I have been selling online and the plan was to have a garage sale in the Spring to be just done with the crap that hasn't sold. But I seem to make good $ online and now that I'm getting organized I may be able to store it and just keep posting online. There is a buyer for everything its just the timing lol

-went to cash my 48.00 checkout51 cheque and buy a few groceries at fortinos -meanwhile 79.00 later -but got pork tenterloin and baby back ribs on sale I am only going to buy meat that's on sale from on -unless i have p.c points for the meat(an offer of points I mean)
-wanted to get out before snow comes our way

[Frugalbigmama]

Coupon girl- Were you buying meat at regular price? I treat my pc points like cash and still try to buy on sale (then I get even more for my points)

Laundry detergent samples can go bad right? I have had some for years. Thinking they should be tossed?

If it is powder it may not dissolve as quickly, i just found some Sunlight that has been kicking around and just filled the machine with it in and agitated before I added the clothes so it was dissolved.Liquid should be fine.

frugal mama -I always buy my meat on sale -different places - I am hoping to get an offer of points when you buy meat then I would get more -sorry maybe I didn't put that right -only 2 of us so don't need lots of meat stocked in freezer
-just went for a 14 minute walk around block -refreshing to say the least

[Frugalbigmama]

ahh ok I didn't think you would pay full price for meat but had to ask. Yes its nice when the PC points line up with a great sale! I remember last year I received 200 pc pts per $1 spent on beef. I found beef on mark down for .99 LB. I bought 42 Lbs or something crazy like that. I would have bought it without the Pc pts bonus too!

[Frugalbigmama]

Have a $50 sale for my honey tonight I haven't told him. Will just sell it and hand him the money )
