    It looIs like this will be another long night with our twins. We will be going early to the walk-in clinic, which is only open once a week from 9-11:30am.

    Blue Friday’s sale at Sobeys.
    $111.xx, earned 387AM, $12.99 in coupons, 50c CO51, 25c Caddle. I also got a free 4L jug of milk, $4.66, with their new milk promo that will be on for the next month. I also purchased the last of the sweets to go in the Chinese Christmas gift exchange next Saturday. I got a rain check for $2.97/lb lean ground beef.

    A friend called yesterday afternoon. Her work had purchased a table of 8 for the Annual Festival of Trees fundraiser and there was one extra unclaimed ticket. I will be joining her for the event on Saturday night. Free turkey supper for me. There will also be an auction, Celtic Games (to match the theme), and live entertainment.

    I went and did my Black Friday Shopping yesterday, honestly there was not a lot of items I wanted just a few Kitchen Items for Mom and Half Bro. I could only find one of the mixing bowl sets at Wal-Mart so I will give that to Mom and got a different version from Canadian Tire for Half Bro. The big difference is the one I got Mom had lids the one I got bro does not.

    At Canadian Tire I also found a Baking Dish set I wanted on sale so I grabbed it and left it for Mom to give me.

    I finished one of Scarves for Mom this morning and have started the next one.

    I am doing pretty good on the gifts I am making but the ones I need to buy are a different story. I am really at a loss of what to get quite a few people this year.

    Slowly doing some cleaning around the house today but nothing big planned.

    Have a wonderful day everyone.

    @Angela 273 -run, don't walk, to your night out with friends! Awesome surprise for you! @coupon girl -congratulations on meeting your third grandchild! Ashlyn will get over being a mommy when she senses competition for your attention. @SassyAshley -you've gotten some great gifts going for the ones you know about -the rest--name in a donation to a local organization and call it a day. Don't forget to gift yourself for Xmas too.

    Just give the matter another day or two. Maybe Canada Post is slower getting the letter mail out to her. Parcel season due to online shopping and then the US Thanksgiving on Thursday. Sorry to read that some trades are not going smoothly. Hope you get affirmative response on your trade soon!

    Yesterday-wrote some Xmas cards and on the way to the post office, I found a full McCafe card-well, I did not say no to a hot chocolate so I did set foot in Walmart for it's McDs because of the two newspapers to read. Did not get the paper & flyers so I also picked up two grocery flyers and community paper. Popped into Longos and lucky me-it was sampling time and yes I tried mini biscotti (now a new favourite to keep in mind to buy). Found a can. Mulched some leaves.

    This morning-finished mulching leaves and had my breakfast. Did a Walmart small grocery shop before coming the library. Will stop into Fortinos for a few items and later Longos for two or three things. Apple cider cake (will buy hard cider at beer store) and butter tart muffins are tonight's sweets. In grocery discussion with Mom, who was making a pork & bean stew, I won't be making pulled pork-that will be a January trial dish. She's insisting that I don't buy produce that Dad already has bought but he buys what he likes and I have my preferences so I will haunt the remnants of reduced produce carts today to stock up on apples for 8pm carb vacuum sessions (ongoing) and possible roasting or stirfry veggies.

    The Universe showed me a very dull $1 coin on the ground-it's real. That will be banked on Monday (or my bank account will cry on the 30th). Found two cans after returning 5 empties today. Yay to more bank $.

    Make the most of Grey Cup weekend. I know I will make popcorn and have tea with sweets. Plus chips-they make anything better. Have a great evening, SCers!

    I am about a 1/4 of the way through another scarf. I worked on it when I needed a break.

    Laundry is done and out away.

    Made a huge batch of Pasta Sauce with Meat which will be frozen for quick dinner.

    Other then that I just tidied up thing as I saw them and tried to take it easy.

    Not much else going on. Not sure if we are going to go shopping tomorrow, when I brought up earlier in the week Mom didn't like the idea but then yesterday she said she wanted go out tomorrow. Guess we will wait to see what tomorrow brings.

    Have a wonderful night everyone.

    I love doing trades with people having multiples coupons on save.ca especially fpc's AND hv's but at the same time I Wonder how they get example 20 coupons when save.ca is one per household account?

    Spent almost 2 hours in my SDM to redeem 1 time. Wish I had stopped when I was in Barrie yesterday. In the end I did ok and got a few gifts and some stocking stuffers. Stocked us up on TP. A few food items for the freezer ( sausage and Pintys chicken). Even treated myself to a face scrub and lipstick. Taxes were $15 and I used the $100 SDM card I bought a few weeks ago. Maybe the new PC optimum points will be better for me. I still have have enough points for almost 2 x $170 redemption. I will watch the flyers and then maybe for sure redeem after Christmas when they do clearance.

    I bought 3 peameal chunks at Food basics. I have one sliced up in the oven now so I can feed my hockey player quick and leave the leftovers in the fridge. My sister sent us home with awesome potatoes with bacon and cheese so there is dinner for the oldest when he gets home from work since we are out of town for hockey and not home till 830.

    Have a great afternoon/evening everyone.
