    One way to stop spending...misplace your #1 credit card. I had it in my hand getting into the car on the weekend and it fumbled. It is black and so is my interior. I need to take a look in the sunlight today under the seats. I put a hold on it incase it fell out of my car and is really lost but I am hoping I find it today.

    Good Afternoon Everyone,
    I did our shopping last night, I knew going in it was going to be fun as I was using coupons and 2 different PC accounts and Price Matching and of course just my luck the store was super busy. Normally when my shopping lists are like this I get Mom to come with me so we can do 2 transactions and I can keep everything straight but she ended up working late last night.

    I got:
    2 x Peameal @ $1.88/lb
    12 x Classico Pasta Sauce @ $1.88 plus 4400 PC Points
    4 x Garden Cocktail @ $1.00
    2 x Palmolive Dish Soup @ $1.88
    1 x Almond Milk @ $2.88
    1 X Bananas @ $0.57/lb plus 100 PC Points
    1 x Mushrooms $3.88 plus 400 PC Points
    8 x Broth $1.88 - 2x Buy 3 Get 1 Free plus 3000 PC Point
    1 x Raspberries $1.88
    1 x Blueberries $1.88

    I have not looked at this week's flyers yet but I am hoping we really do not need anything as next week is going to be totally insane for me. I have a meeting Monday afternoon, all day Tuesday (this meeting will include Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner) and than another meeting Wednesday (this one will only be Breakfast & Lunch). Which gives me Thursday and Friday to catch up at work and I cannot work next weekend as we have a family event Saturday.

    I have been working hard at meal planning and not eating out, so far so good only Take Out was Chinese for Mom's Birthday which I knew we would be eating out for. With that being said my kitchen currently looks like a bomb went off, since Mom has been working late we have been eating later which means I usually end up eating and going to bed. My plan was to tackle it last night but I was so tired I told Mom I would deal with it tonight since I can just go straight home from work and this will be the first thing I do.

    I am not sure about tonight's dinner yet, I was supposed to be on my own for dinner tonight so my plan was to just have leftovers but Mom's shift got changed but now she may have to work late. I will not know until 4 or later if she has to work late which kind of sucks for planning. Normally I would just plan a meal and make it but since we already have so many leftovers in the fridge and it is Thursday I do not want to add more. But leaves me with Dinner as a big question mark.

    Well better get back to work, I would like to be out on time if possible to tackle the kitchen so it is done and I do not have to think about it. Have a great day everyone.

    My coffee pot has been driving me nuts. The carafe was broken in the summer so I bought a replacement that dripped when I poured coffee. I was about to break down and buy a new coffee maker and then I found one on fb. I bought it thinking the carafe would fit but it does not. It’s a nicer coffee maker than mine anyway so I am going to swap them out, but first I need the reusable filter as they don’t match. The filter will cost more than the coffee pot since I only paid 10.00 for it.

    I cleaned up the kitchen this morning before we left. DS will be getting $ for lunch and a drink I brought from home when I meet him at the arena to take his hockey bag. We all just fended for ourselves for dinner last night since I had a headache when I got home.

    Good Afternoon Everyone,
    Managed to get the kitchen cleaned last night, took a little longer than I would have liked cause my back started to act up so I had to stop a couple time. Today it keeps tweaking so thinking I might head home and sit with a heating pad on it for a bit in hopes that it does not try to go out on me.

    Trying to decide if I will stop at No Frills on the way home and grab some ground beef. Last time I got ground beef we cooked the whole pack and then froze the Cooked Ground Beef which I have to say has come in very handy for Crock Pot, Instant Pot and various other recipes. I think I actually prefer to just cook the ground beef then turn it into Taco Meat vs Freezing Taco Meat, I find it has better flavour this way as it always seems to dry out when I freeze the cooked Taco Meat and re heat it.

    Not much else on the go, was supposed to have plans with Mom this weekend but it looks like she is working now so guess it will be plan B. I do not have a plan b yet but based on what the weather is saying it will be something in doors. Maybe clean my closet, I will come up with a plan tomorrow.

    Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

    Happy days! I am hopefully getting my couponing techniques out there into the world come this February. I will be running a couponing seminar with Gateway Niagara (An organization that helps individuals with mental health issues by providing housing). So I will be visiting their main location (Welland) and teaching some of the individuals there a little bit about how to coupon. Hopefully it might lead to something in the future, or even just teaching more sessions with Gateway.

    Good morning Everyone,
    Up early which is nice, normally I feel like I can get a jump on the day but I am quite tired today as I did not sleep well.

    I did stop at No Frills last night and grabbed 2 family packages of Ground Beef on sale for $2.77/lb plus I got 2200 PC Points as I had an offer for fresh beef. I cooked up both packages used some of the meat to make Taco Meat and instead of Taco Salads I ended up making what I can Taco Bundles. Taco Bundles are meat veggies (only mushrooms last night) and cheese wrapped in a Tortilla and baked until crisp. I had mine over a Salad so when the filling fell out of the bundle it fell into my Salad. The rest of the meat is in containers in the fridge which will packaged and frozen today.

    Laundry is sorted and going now.

    Not sure what the day will bring yet, going to drink a little more tea and then decide on Breakfast. Have a wonderful day everyone.

    Reversed vehicle in driveway so that I can just drive out due to snowstorm. The kitty drama continues with the three cat beds.....so funny to watch them. Need to pick up cat food today but may wait till tomorrow as the snow is really coming down.

    My freezer is now mostly empty, time to restock as a full freezer is supposed to work better (top freezer of fridge). Hope to get into the Elle beauty trial......fingers crossed.

    Kind of pissed off right now. I sliced my finger open on the immersion blended this morning and could not get the bleeding to stop. The cut looks deep to me so I was worried and tried to go to the walk-in.

    The receptionist would not even put me on the list to see the doctor. First I was told they were going on lunch and would not start seeing patients again until 1, okay fine I will come back then it changed to 1:30 still fine, I will come back. The I got told their 6 patients in front of me, okay fine whatever I will wait.

    Then she asks why I was there (found it funny she didn't ask to start) so I explained I cut my finger and I could not get it to stop bleeding. To which she told me I was wasting my time at a walk-in as they do not do stitches, I said I do not think I need stitches but could the doctor look at my cut and if I need stitches then I will go to the hospital, I would just like it looked at.

    I was then told I should have phoned before I came, I said I did try 4 times but no one answered so I decided to just come over. Then she decides to get mad at me and tells me how busy she is and I am not the only one looking to see the doctor. I was not even mad at this point and said I understand, can she just look at my cut.

    I was then told I would be wasting everyone time as the doctor would not even let me take the band aid off in case it started to bleed again, then I will re bandage it. Again I explained I just want her to let me know if I need stitches, if I do I will go to the ER but I do not want to waste their time since you constantly hear them asking people not to come if it is not an emergency as they are so over run with patients. To which I was told oh don't worry you will be the bottom of the list and will wait all afternoon to be seen as it is not an emergency it is just a cut.

    At this point I was a little upset and I guess you could see it in my face as she said look your the one who wasted your time coming if you had a left a message I would have called her back and told you not to come. Well I was upset now so I pointed out I listened to your whole message and did does not say to leave a message and you cannot leave a message as soon as it finishes saying your hours it clicks and the line goes dead and I again can she just look at my cut. I was then told it is not my fault I do not know how to use a phone and it was time for me to stop wasting her time she was not putting me on the list.

    Maybe it was the lack of sleep or the trauma from the cut but at this point I was pretty much in tears and just kind of stunned and stood there for a minute and her final parting shot was, you can leave now.

    Moments like this I hate that my family is known in the community as I would really like to post about this horrible experience but we have to worry about backlash and fake reviews being posted about our business (yes it has happened, wasn't me but another family member).
