Morning! Going to start laundry then go for a walk! Will make homemade mac and cheese today. Need to put the bacon I bought last weekend in the freezer. I think I will clean out the fridge freezer and see what I can come up with for dinner using up stuff. I know there is chicken in there. I bought 4 perfect lemons for $1 yesterday. So thinking chicken souvlaki is a good idea again.
It’s very cold today. Just after 9am and it is -27, 21km/hr wind, -39 with the wind chill. I’m debating changing my plans for the day.
Packing for another week away. DH has the meals planned and the kids are old enough with we don't run into issues for after school and evenings.
This new PCO has worked out for us so far, I have spent 200 on groceries and at both store with both DH and I and we have earned 28000 points, so I am happy. I did not redeem yet as I want to make sure the kinks are worked out but I think most of the groceries for the month can be paid for with points.
Not a bad weekend here, we managed to get a few things done and checked off my list.
Yesterday we cleaned half of the cubes in the hallway. These are cubes I had in my closest in our old house but do not fit in my room here so we put them in the hallway for kitchen over flow. I was quite happy that there wasn't a lot of garbage just a few things we decided to get rid of as we know we won't us it.
Today we cleaned off half of the dinning room table. This is our dump all spot. The other half has the new light for dinning room that needs to be installed as well as other items I will sort this week.
I also got mom to agree that if I sorted items onto the dinning room table when she got home she would decide what was staying and what is going.
Today mom is doing some cooking as well I made a batch of Potato Buns and currently have pizza dough in the bread machine right now for dinner.
As well laundry is done just have to fold it and put it away.
Thinking now it is time to kick back and watch and movie and relax.
Have a wonderful night everyone.
Did two loads of laundry last night, just finished another load. I put up new Daycare posters all over town and updated my online advertisements. I took our son out for a free lunch at Boston Pizza, such would have been $20.74. I had an offer for a free individual size 2 topping pizza to celebrate my anniversary with BP. I also had an offer for a free dessert for my Birthday. I still made sure to tip the waitress. Then we headed over to the public library and picked out 8 new books for our kids.
I pulled home made lasagne from the freezer, for tonight’s supper.
I booked a babysitter for tomorrow evening. I get a free Birthday entree at Mr. Mikes and I have $5 in points to redeem on the app.
With the new PC Optimum program, do we earn points per dollar spent at stores like No Frills? Or just from personal points offers and special in store points offers?
At No Frills you only earn on Personal Offer and In Store.Flyer special.
Only SDM offers points per $1 spent

I spent $108.63, earned 15,000pts, PM’d grapes and soya sauce, used $5 in coupons, and $4 from CO51. We are stocked up. Won’t need to go to the store until we run out of milk at the end of the week.
I have been in contact with two potential Daycare families today.
great shopping Angela!! good luck with the new families! I hope it goes well. I will say , i dispise i the interview process, always stresses me out. always.
On track for today is doing a menu plan for the week. bake some blueberry muffins ( blueberries from when I froze them last summer )
Roast chicken ( last of my big ones boo) with garlic butter rice ad broc and cauliflower for supper.
I am expecting a few trades for coupons today.

I saw this offer yesterday at a shell station in the. NwtQuote:

Well I was wrong about my PCO card being all worked out with the points from my MasterCard. They are not there. It was showing 0 now it shows 1 pt from my inquiry. But my receipt shows my MasterCard points so the issue is that I have 2 PCO accounts set up and the 1st one that I can't get into has my offers and points. At least I can see my points are still on my mastercard account. Will have to call in and ask for the password or have them transfer them to the card I can see the info on.
I took youngest DS to the movies yesterday afternoon. We brought drinks from home. Went to the store on way for a treat. And I let him get popcorn. Used up the Gift Cards I had. Let him use his new Scene card to get the points.
Dinner tonight- Leftover chicken souvlaki, and tacos. I will toss some fries or something in the oven to go with it.
I found it hard to find the right part on the Driscoll’s website, where you enter the code and complete a survey. I now have it bookmarked on my computer. I’ll send you the link if I am on the computer later today. You can only enter two codes per day. Each coupon that you are emailed can be printed twice. You will start at 50c, then go up to 75c, and $1 when you enter enough codes to earn the next level.Quote:

morning-went to the dentist today hubby and I -no cavities for me ,so nice to have coverage again as we didn't last time we went ,yesterday late afternoon was running to toilet again maybe the bug never left me ,it just subsided on sat .
I had a productive morning which included about 1/2 a dozen phone calls that had to wait until today.
I have a collection of damaged cardboard books and kids books. I spent some time this afternoon glueing and taping the ones that I thought I could salvage.
I spent $80.26 on my grocery shop yesterday but used $21.36 in coupons and earned 87 AM's and a $0.04 off gas coupon also. Paid for with GC bought during AM promotion.
Garage door opener now installed and working great.
Cleaned the fridge out today of left overs and made a big pot of turkey soup. Turkey soup with fresh rolls for lunch tomorrow on what will probably be another cold winter day.
Dropping in again to see how all my friends are doing.
I have been following forward on tidying up things in boxes that I had just never found a "home" for in this new apartment. (I figure that I can call it "New" until I have been here a year and lived through all the seasons.)
I found a book in which I had organized Card exchanges with lots of members -some no longer around. It was fun to flip through and remember some folks who haven't been around for a while on the threads I watch .
I have been fighting off a lot of migraines lately. Milestones in the year since my DH passed, worry about finding my db a more appropriate accommodation where he can get more assistance. ( Thankfully we found a good match and he will be moving in April.)
Trying to get the US Social Security to actually send me the pension to which I am entitled.
My new little doggie -Tootie whom I inherited from a bad situation- had all her teeth removed 2 weeks ago and is getting used to eating without having a mouthful of rotten teeth. My db's cat stalks her and she is deaf so he delights at scaring her. I will be glad when he moves to his new hone with my Db.
We have been trying to use up all the various things in our freezer. Most of what is left is just ends of loaves of bread and misc. left over muffins.
I have been doing a bit of reading about wardrobe and how it is really more practical to just have several copies if the same outfit. Hmm... can't quite get my head around that.
I am so glad that I was able to get drapes up in our dining area (which has patio doors of ancient ilk). It has been so cold and we get the prevailing winds on that side.
I still have 2 "late bloomer" Amarylis that I was given as gifts that are blooming away in that room. One has 4 beautiful blooms on one stalk. And a very lovely purple orchid which I received as a birthday gift.
Last week, just as I passed the 1 year mark since my DH had passed, 4 of my fiends lost their fathers. I did go to 1 funeral but found it very hard. I sent off sympathy cards today, along with a couple of parcels and Valentine's Cards to good friends in far places.
My friend has been making mittens out of old sweaters and she lines them with fleece. I lost a lovely pair she made me and she has very graciously offered to make another pair and also donate 2pairs to our church silent auction next week. So tomorrow we are going to Senior' s Day at Value Village to look for woollen sweaters she can 're-work. They turn out beautifully and are so warm! Wool is the best and even better if it has been shrunk in the wash (felted).
I have 5 weddings booked for later in the year and am glad to be getting back to such a happy task.
Sorry for the long post.
Andit-are you back downtown? Glad to hear that Quincy and Lily are still keeping you busy!
Good night, folks!

Hi All. I've been reading but not posting in here so I thought today is as good as any. Been trying to think of ways to save and stretch the $$ so seeing what others have been doing is really helpful especially as today I was let go from my casual job which I liked (but they don't have the hours to give and are phasing out that casual position). It hurt to be informed by email, I mean a phone call would have been nice. Now to figure out what to do. The job was nice for the extra money as my husband makes enough for us to live on but the money was nice for the little extras. So long story short....hello all.

Now for the PC Optimum conversion. I had a PC banking card that I can't remember if I switched to a physical points card. Maybe those 17,000 points are lost? I wonder if anyone has had any luck calling the PC Optimum customer service.
The winter colds are slowly going away, but the house is a mess. I got up at 5:30 AM this morning and decided to fold a few clothes before feeding the baby. She loves going into daycare now, but I do miss her.
The after-school care program noticed DD1 could read and the teacher was surprised. She's learning how to spell by sounding out words and loves to remind me that she can count to 100 in a song over and over and over again. The tantrums are now epic though and she gets so frustrated with things that she can't do like if a zipper gets stuck or the night is too dark.
DD2 is sick again and gives me a tearful earful when I pick her up from daycare. She's being forced to only one nap a day and she's not liking it at all. I had to hold her for an hour before dinner or she would go hysterical. That led to me not doing dishes, which led to DH doing them when he was finished getting a haircut and shoveling the driveway, which led to him skipping dinner. Life with two children just seems like madness sometimes. I barely get to see DD2 outside of her sleeping and DD1 is having a tantrum or otherwise commanding my attention when DD2 isn't.
DD2 is standing and taking a few steps now, but her language is quite far behind DD1. I think DD1 could speak 13 words bilingually before daycare, plus sign language, and DD2 is lucky if she knows three or four words. She's very independent though, and will take the spoon from you at dinner, dump the food, and attempt (unsuccessfully) to feed herself.
I must say I'm thrilled that SDM points transferred over at full value. I will have abnormally low grocery bills for awhile!
Welcome kiwis-mom. I’m sorry to hear that you have recently lost you casual job. It is good that your husband’s income pays the bills, but extra is certainly nice. Are there any other jobs that might interest you, that you could apply for? This thread is certainly full of ideas.Quote:
