@Angela273 -great sale on your stroller! Way to go! Hope that school principal does not let the school bully and his parents get away with the continuing behavior. Your son otherwise liked school and now the bully has made it hard to go to school. Glad you always notice opportunities for the other children to get some community activities in plus find things for you to enjoy!
@cath007 -ohh, the ring find came at the right time during your cleanup, cath! It's always wonderful to find something meaningful that has not been seen in a long time. You posted some appliances on your wishlist from money saved on groceries. I happened to notice that Bed Bath & Beyond had a Crockpot Choose a Size model with three inserts (2x2.5qt -it's a split insert, 4qt and 6qt-supposedly they all nest together for storage) and is programmable. The flyer indicated a manufacturer promotion to save $10 (so price is $89.99) until December 24. Thought I'd share that with you.

Not sure why link shows rebate as $5. The flyer clearly showed $89.99.

I used my remaining 50 cents on the Tim Horton's gift card towards a donut purchase today. Reward for walking so far on a warm day.

@Ciel - I find Aveeno with shea butter fragrance free is great for the hands and body. This time of year I find my hands getting drier and I use dollar store rubber gloves to wash dishes, etc. Worth a try.

Prepped lots of healthy food yesterday so I can stay on track and eat healthy. Baked a cookie sheet tray of chicken. I have it in a container in the fridge ready to use. I can make kids Chicken ceaser wraps etc. I have left over rice that youngest DS loves.

I bought broccoli, sweet potato, peppers that I am going to roast a cookie sheet tray full of and the I can have with the chicken the next few days.

I boiled eggs for snack with almonds and yogurt. Have strawberries and raspberries. Making oatmeal for breakfast. Making it the night before so I have no excuses in the morning.

I am on day 3 without coffee. The cream was making me feel off (lactose issue) And I feel great so far so thinking I don't need it!

I cut up my Sears Club points card on the weekend-felt it was not going to get any use during the sales.

Boring breakfast of Shredded Wheat with hemp seeds and warm water. Plan to use a Monopoly prize of small fountain drink today. Gave Mom the small hot McCafe beverage and muffin or mini pastry pieces as those items she does like at McDonalds.

Did hand laundry in morning. Plan to wash my regular walking shoes later today. Will wear new shoes when I visit Mom's friend later today.

Collected $1.10 worth of containers on the way home and about 4 more Monopoly pieces. Sibling gave me 5 game pieces too.

This week, food is all about using what's in the cupboards until the weekend.
@Barbi s -thanks for pointing out the usefulness of rubber gloves for dishwashing. I have to get a pair for that task. Will try the Aveeno product when I've used up my Be Better tube of cream but well before I run out of the pump Vaseline lotion for mature skin. This itchiness is distracting--certain to drive me to a case of pop status per day when the windchill becomes a chapped skin driver!

Must complete recycling of papers and consolidate a few recipes that I want to use this month. It's windy today--rain will be along soon! Happy Monday, everyone! Only 8 more days until Candy Eve or Halloween.

@Angela273 -you are Ms. MacGyver and showing flexibility with your daycare kids! Always something interesting to do at your place. Pleased you have interest and paying customers for your daycare service. Helps with the budget and plans!
@saundyl -amazing planning to save on postage for gifts! You made the most of your trip to Edmonton. Will your boys be adding any reflective tape trim to their costumes to make them more visible at night?
@Frugalbigmama -all the hockey parents are important to the food and retail businesses where you attend games! Hope you feel the love when you show up at your regular places to dine before or after games.

The rcmp here do spookarama for the teenagers which is a drug and alcohol free dance with pop, treats and prizes. Our boys have been choosing to do this rather than trick or treat.

I’m at Boston Pizza, ordered a $10 Lunch with lemon water and I’m getting my free order of pizza bread from my BP app. The pizza bread topping is salty.

It’s quite windy outside, which is making driving more difficult. This is a very busy week for us, I’m hoping that I goes smoothly.

Good evening everyone!!! My couponning friend who live in the same city near me shared me a great deal that I want to make if I purchase a side freezer(because fridge and freezer are now full) . At a local bakery 8 close to expiry bread of all kind for 2$!!!!!Much better than paying 2$ PER bread at economic store.It is a thing I want to do for when I will purchase a side freezer and to find a place for it.I have currently a side fridge I purchased at WM last summer was a steal of a deal!!!(I put my extra yogurts,juices,eggs and ensure in it).
