Our son's sixth birthday is tomorrow, and for the first time, he's having a children's party and inviting his friends from school. Nine kids!
I've bought a lot of prizes for games on my travels over the last year as I find something neat (and cheap!), so we'll have lots of great prizes for games. Loot bags are pretty cool (if I do say so myself) and contain real toys that I picked up on clearance! My mission today was to get most of the food for the party for very little!
Cashed in points at Shoppers and Superstore, and among other things, I bought these items for the party:
Hot dog buns
Hot dogs
Ketchup, mustard, relish
Chips
Fruit Tray
Chicken Fingers
Juice Boxes
Soft Drinks
Ice Cream
Butter (for cake icing)
I made him a Transformer-themed cake using cake mixes, making icing to decorate it, which made for about a $10 cake. I didn't have to buy a $30 one!
I'm pretty pleased with myself!This thread is currently associated with: Cake Beauty, Real Canadian Superstore RCSS, Shoppers Drug Mart

what a lucky birthday boy!! I am sure he will be so excited, especially with friends over and games! The cake sounds terrific and you should take a bow for saving $$ on a store bought one. Have a blast!

What memories you will create. I love home parties much more than the store ones. Great use of points what better reason to spend them than to see the smiles on the kids faces.... Great job MOM.....
