Was just looking over 5 differently 2017 monthly entries I posted and realized that I forgot about that special Cdn Tire 10 cent paper bill that came out last summer for Canada's 150th birthday.
Question-how many SCers held on to their commemorative issue CT bill? I spent mine.
This is really late coming but still a good one. We scored 2 new iPhone 6's and 2-$240.00 Wal-mart gcs during Boxing Day. He hated me dragging him out of bed at 5am but as we were walk out of the store, he said " You did good babe"
Cleaning out my closet and in 2 days I've made $150.00 just selling 2 pair of boots!!!!
$282.99 saved for the month of January in coupons, GC's, CT$, PC points & AM's.
Just redeemed for a $40.50 CO51 Cheque the other day. Will help with some of the expenses!
Totals for Dec/Jan
$580 in Airmiles
$520 in PC optimum
$30 in Starbucks cards for customer service errors
$205.XX check from Starbucks for a defective machine I received as a gift
$184.XX check from ebates
$143.xx in MIRs
$167.xx cashed out from CO51
$23.xx cashed out from caddle
$19.79 (was $20 but I didnt want to pay anything extra) coupon from Beautyboutique for delayed shipping in December
Pending: $40 in coupons from pepsi
$30-80 from Activia
$20.xx cashed out from Zweet
I think starting on the 15th I'm going to live off of my stockpile and various misc gift cards/points and groupons. Fingers crossed for at least a solid three months of no spending.
Jan wrap up
airmiles - 80.00
Coupons - 6.50
105.00 amazon gc- sb
tire rebate - 70
plus 2 free cloth bags, and a small blue recycle bin from fillingout a survey.
261.50 for Jan http://www.funwithoutfunds.com/images/smilies/smile.gif not bad at all.
With PC Plus and Optimum coming together last week, all the points I previously earned from Shoppers Drug Mart can now be redeemed at Real Canadian Superstore (and other Presidents Choice stores)!
This week my 2,000 "Shop the Block" bonus Air Miles were added to my account so that means $210 I can use at Sobeys or Metro or Rexall.
I see FREE groceries in my future for a number of weeks! ;)
Way to go!

I have been filing away stuff that just got dumped into boxes when I moved in the summer. I found an old Christmas card that I was about to throw away when a Tim's card fell out if it. We always prepare a few cards with small gift cards inside them at Christmas for helpers who come -like caregivers and maildelivering people. This one was signed by my DH so it must have been made out 2 years ago and then shoved in a drawer. Don't know how much is on it, but I sure could have used a drink of tea on the road today. A little gift from the past.

My cell phone was fine and my friend was asking about the deals on boxing day. The other guy asked me to give him something to do since it was not busy (our town was snowed in) In the end I paid $0. My monthly plan cost did not change. More free mins and data and I left with a new phone, $60 case, wall and car charger, 200,000 PC PTS.
They basically paid me to take the new phone :)
calling back to old navy or gap (which I shop a lot online with that retailer)when I see a new percentage that is higher-saved 9.93 on my 66.92 order from yesterday
I SCOPed 3 pork loins at Walmart this week, which saved my family over $30 on meat.
I also accepted a drop-in daycare kid one day this week. That money will pay for a babysitter for Dh and I to go out for a date on the weekend, since we didn’t go out for Valentine’s Day.
