@Angela273 I am not sure few people are trading . Like me I don’t have a trade and wish list too many coupons but I occasionally post what I am looking for. I took a look at your wish list when it was up dated but I have nothing u are looking for. I was suppose to double check if I do have the ziploc coupons from insert but didn’t get around to it. Please let me know how it goes on Facebook. Don’t have an account but just curious.Quote:

What I didn’t know was she was putting everything back on the conveyor belt. Went to pay I was choked it was 250$ I only had 80$. She started to become aggressive. At this point she is yelling and screaming at me making a huge scene. The store manager comes over and tells her to calm down, to stop her abusive behaviour towards me. Basically ushering her out the store. I notice in the parking lot the store manager following us. He is on the phone with 911. They show up just after I put all the groceries into her car. The rcmp swarm the vehicle as I am sitting in the passenger side. They think it is me who did it until the store manager comes over to them it wasn’t. At this point she thinks it was me and goes to lay a hand on me. The RCMP officers step in front of me. Next thing I know I am shaking and crying. She is given a ticket warning I don’t know for what but it was 500$ minimum if not paid in 15days and 750$ of paid in 30 days. She is calm enough to be let go and drives me home. She didn’t say nothing to me, we left the parking lot and get onto the hwy. she is going in and out of cars at a high speed without a turn signal almost caused 3 accidents. I notice out of the side mirror there is many cop cars following us as she is dodging in and out of traffic. There is already some cruisers in the parking lot of the laundromat across the street. After I get all my groceries and go inside they swarm her car and make it so she doesn’t go anywhere.
I got a text from my sister whose in Vernon visiting her bf. Saying mom cannot talk to me until something court.
I had to cancel all my appointments over the river. Except the last two weeks I didn’t because the person said I could have those sessions for how much I could give her in payment. Whenever I got paid and she takes payment in google play gift cards if I so choose.
I was sitting in my room minding my own business. When I got an angry FB message about cutting someone off the internet. I was frustrated already since I had stopped being doormat to everyone New Year’s Day. I told them i choose who I want on it and it’s fing expensive. They told me to name my price I said 25$ they came back and low balled $15. Inside my head I felt used and abused they weren’t real friends if all they cared about was using my wifi signal. They didn’t ask how I was doing nor cared to be fing nice about any of it. They were rude and inconsiderate. In the end I blocked all there FB accounts even on messenger. This was a long time coming I had given 3 chances and I wasn’t in the mood to give a 4th. I wrote a status on FB about it stating I was no longer a doormat for anyone and to check their hat at the door before leaving their house.
I am proud of myself for taking the proper steps for my sanity. There is only me to please in life not others. I need to put myself first in order to be present for those I choose to be in my circle. I am a little mad that I allowed this to go for months in 2018. But no more now in 2019.
I received in the mail yesterday my boost samples and a coupon.
Today I received a refund from a place I bought a poster at from a third party seller on Amazon. They were in California I gather...they said they were suspending international shipping because of lockout of government employees.
I got my GST today all 126+$ of it. I had to pay my Debt Management Program first before I did anything. I have 42+$ remaining.
today will be a good day for us all.
I am giving away 3 garbage bags full of bottles to someone doing a bottle drive for a local sports team. I support sports because I used to play them. And know the importance it makes the difference on a child to be able to be within a team and learn leadership and team building skills. When I was a kid I played soccer, basketball and badminton.
I figured there was about roughly 5-10$ of empties.
I also bought a carton of cheap smokes for 35$.
Anyway I think I said to much or too little I am not sure.
I bought a cheesecake at superstore for $6. I was thinking of having that for something to eat but I don’t think so. the free items for the 250$ was two boxes of wings. I don’t eat wings I fit one into my freezer for someone and gave the other one away down the hall. They were rather receptive then usual when I brought the box. I also gave them some parchment paper for their baking sheet And a can of icing.
I haven’t decided what I want to spend the remainder of my money on. I’ll figure it out and talk with you all later.

Greentires for me-that does sound like a horrible day and I am so sorry you had to go through it. Family and friend issues are very stressful and it certainly sounds like your Mum crossed the line if the police were called and she has been charged. Here is hoping your 2019 gets better.
@greentires4me . That does sound like a very awful day. No one should heave to go through that . There is no reason for a mother to behave like that to a child and I agree with @lizzie bargain she did cross the line Sending you hugs. Hoping today is a better day for you and 2019 get better with each day
@greentires4me It really sucks how your mom behaved towards you and others. Sometimes it is best to decide who is involved in your life and how involved they are in your life. It’s necessary to take care of yourself. Some friends turn out not to be good friends at all. May 2019 turn out to be a better year relationship wise.
yes greentiresfore-that must have been awfull to experience ,she did cross the line ,maybe she should have offered to pay for some of the groceries if she wanted you to take them all
so tired form babysitting the 2 girls so I am in my jammies now -question how hard is it to find 2 piece p,j set for me -hard as I ordered a 2 piece set button down relaxed fit it said and it is too clingy,the lord and taylor sleep pants XL I am keeping $8.00 they cost -I would have preferred L but they only had Xl available -know wonder I have seperates in the p;js and the set daughter-in-law got me from Costco the shirt was way too clingy and the pants were fleece (too hot for me)
Heck I may try Walmart but I usually don't care to buy clothing there
Sunshine came out in force for Friday but yesterday, it took a running leap behind gray skies so it flattened moods.
Mississauga's Square One visit yesterday was a good long one but at some point, my best friend and I had to stop for beverages as our throats were so dry. Did a stop at a local grocery store then had a long drive along Lakeshore Rd for three towns to see the lights! Mom seemed happy about some of the things I bought for her and with what I got for myself. Then I did a very short visit to the library after a quick instant noodles supper to enjoy 12min of Internet time and a quick reading of the day's papers before closing time.
Then today, it was like Mom and her friend had it in for me about some task where a condition was put in and I said no to doing the task as it was not what I agreed to etc. If I did not get a load of guilt-tripping from Mom---basically I was not having it and told her to dine on her tongue. I know now that it won't be the same again with Mom's friend and Mom, but I knew there was a chance she (the friend) would try a powerplay and it did happen. Not letting her try to ruin 2019 for me...so I agree about setting boundaries and claiming self-care time that @greentires4me and other members have posted. I have some other goals for 2019 but need to see how realistically they could be started...
I personally want to have little or no pain in my right breast by June, as that will be about 1 year when pain became an issue (as of June 2018). That month, I also intend to celebrate turning 50, which happens this month though I want a warmer weather experience this year. And something rose-gold (accessory, apparel or theme for the occasion). Food goal-figure out how to have lunch most days of the year when I'm not at home--really cannot go without food for long hours or expect a drink or candy to "fill" in for a meal because my body is saying feed me (protein)...you hangry person.
Decided to have a look at Talize and today's special is 50% off sleepwear as well as women's jeans-found a sleeveless knit sleep top for me-$2.25 all in! I had done today's banking (HST credit) so there was some cash to spend, but I made certain to set aside bus fares and a little extra for the end of the month health card photo visit that I have to do. I had also visited my local Shoppers for some clearance sesame rice crackers $1.99-$1 store coupon and some chili and a personal care item. Stopped in at Dollarama for one of two trash bags needed.
Since Rexall has 10% off stamps and I'm near one location today, I definitely buy a pack and be ready for the price increase.
@Frugalbigmama -keep those casino visit stories coming! Maybe I should factor in a casino visit (Niagara) for June and see how lady luck rolls with me!
Will post here that I now own a strawberry cushion (so adorable) to keep my pineapple cushion (cute!) company. My friend looked at me, but I said I have wanted the second cushion for awhile and here was my chance. Found out that the strawberry's seed design in one spot was mostly yanked out (I clipped the strand for a future satin stitch session) and the front of the cushion has a small seam break, so another small mending job awaits. There's neon pink thread in the house if I cannot find a light pink thread for the repair. The Hiccups line also has a stuffed polar bear cushion and three smiling peas in a pod, in case you were curious!
Found several charming kitchen towel designs at Simons yesterday so I bought them and laundered them last night. This morning, after ironing the new towels, I picked seven old towels out of the linen closet and pitched them out-won't miss them.
I did bring along a can of Nestle Pure Life mango peach pineapple sparkling water on my walk today and I will say that the drink did refresh me! The wind has taken some hydration out of me. I can recommend La Croix sparkling water too-it's sold at FarmBoy and Sobeys (but not at Walmart, Longos or Fortinos).
@greentires4me sad you had to contend with your mom’s outburst. Sounds like it may be a costly lesson for you. It can be difficult to set boundaries with family.
I barely noticed the sun today because I worked at home and the office is in the basement but I did take a short break at lunch and took the dog for a walk so that was pleasant.
Tonight’s free Domino’s Pizza for supper. I received an email for a free 2 topping pizza and I also had a free 2 topping pizza from redeeming my points. No one wanted to cook tonight. We have fresh veggies/fruit in the fridge.
Greentires... hugs... many hugs. i am so sorry you had a rough day . boundries are a good thing.
on my walk this am.. found a loonie... the 5.00 visa gc from the kellogs promo came in. this year is off to a good start. and some coupons came in
Long story short...was able to return an item today from Christmas ($150 item for DS that did not work with system and they were trying to deny return. Happy with the way i dealt with it and it all worked out)
Well guess the casino is slow in January so they have offered free slot play every Friday. Decided to go and use it and have free dinner. We ate well and i came home with $300 + so it was worth the drive. No shows this month but have a large food credit so plan to go to the steak house for a nice free dinner later this month.
Tomorrow DS has a hockey game so Im looking forward to watching.
Good morning all.
Doing laundry .after my tea going to walk my fur baby because everyone else is sleeping in @Frugalbigmama you are a lucky one at the casino I usually goes some times with my DH but never wins . What do you play? Just curious most of the times we are out of pocket. Keep the luck rooling
morning off to toronto at 10.00 a.m ,will be gone til tonight-I am taking Sebastian a t-shirt I got for him $4.00 from the bay and a kinder egg,as I am always picking the girls up stuff
got my 2 free pairs of honey nut cherrios mitts in for Ashlyn and Sebastian -they are cute too

I went to shoppers and got an iTunes gift card yesterday. As well as fixident, a candy cane and praline chocolates from the Christmas section. The candy cane was a big peppermint one for 40 cents and the praline chocolates were on for $2.40. They had a boxes of peach flavoured candy canes for a $1 or 2 for $1.60. They had loads of Lindt chocolates...small bears a pack of five for $2, a very large bear for $3.50. They also have balls of Lindt gingerbread flavour. All the chocolate was 60% off. I obtained 150pts.
Do you guys possibly want some Christmas candy/ chocolate? I will gather it all up and ship it in a box I get money next Thursday or wait until the 23rd when I have more money. I know some of you said there was no deals around, but I always seem to find good ones...hopefully it didn’t go anywhere when I should’ve capitalized on it.
I redeemed on coin pop on my tablet it’s a thing where u download the games of the day play them to win coins. I was playing a casino game last night and won 9,142 coins by playing the game. It is 512/min for coins. So far I have redeemed $10 worth of amazon.ca gift card codes. I started playing shortly after I got my tablet. You can redeemed tonnes of things like PayPal, Amazon, iTunes, Boston Pizza, bass pro shop, Joey restaurant, Starbucks, Best Buy, google play store. The top 2 are the easiest ways to redeem coins for. It’s much faster to earn cards then when I was on swagbucks. It’s only available for androids I suppose more so for phones then tablets. So like in two months 2x 5$ gift card codes to amazon.ca. I could kept earning to get a $10 code..or $20 code. But I am good with the $5 ones for now.
Last night I was making chilli downstairs when someone ruined it by putting in a extra large can of water and too much cayenne pepper. It had a kick to it so much so I left the pot on the stove told them I wasn’t eating it and came upstairs to take a Tecta it’s a proton pump inhibitor for my acid reflux. As well as I ate a large amounts of cheese bread with butter on it heated in the microwave. I am still paying for that one taste of it I can feel the acid from my stomach burning my esophagus every 20mins. Sleeping was hard but I was really tired so I fell asleep and had tremendously weird dreams. Probably due to that issue...
Today I need to buy garbage bags I will use my $5 for that. I hope the dollarama or dollar tree has some of what I like. Rogers Sugar is on sale at shoppers in my flyer for $1.99, the 2kg bags of white and 2kgs of brown sugar. I don’t know if I need more white sugar...maybe brown sugar. I think I will pick up a couple bags of of brown I think the limit is 4. 4*2 = 8$ roughly.
Anyways I need to take another tecta laters.

I totalled up my Air Miles Cash redemptions from 2018. $690 spent on groceries at Sobeys. That’s the first time that I’ve figured it out for an entire year. I’m happy with that number.
My total redemptions for 2018 were $470. I'm pleased, but I am going to do better this year.
excellent amounts ladies!!!
ok. i am very pleased with the amount i have done on my basement area. laundry room is done. ad a solid third of the dc area is done. as well... i have a plan on how to finish the rest. i even posted 2 items on line for sale . its not much .. but its good.
Spent $30 on groceries. Tired of waste and not buying crap so that makes the difference. Went to SDM but didn't buy a thing. Anything I would buy to spend $50 plus we already have lots of so decided against it (toilet paper, toothpaste etc) Filled up the gas tank and went to bank and put cash on my MasterCard to cover today's shopping plus a credit.
DS's team won their hockey game. Treated DS to pita pit after game. ( his choice)
Chopped of the chicken from the other night and put in freezer bag in freezer for future chicken fried rice. DS likes this for school lunch so will make it maybe Wednesday night for Thursday and Friday lunch. ( no more money for school lunch...I have been unprepared this past 4 months.
Just logged onto Netflix and there was a notice that the price is going up ( it's my sisters account) just a reminder on the money i am saving lol
I cleaned out 3 kitchen cupboards when I got home from shopping. Tossed out tons of old crappy food. Feels good!
Well I was happy with my shop at RCSS today didn’t get a spent and earn points since PC change over to PCO. I got spent $30.00 get 6000 points . I was also happy that I was able to do a double PM with the Laughing Cow Cheese since there limit for PM is 4. I used Fortinos $1.99 and Freshco $2.00 had a PCO offer for Deli cheese and these qualify. So it’s like $0.10 each after my $1.50 coupon. My total was $42.85 used $40.00 in PCO Points and I got with $11.80 in Points happy me. I just got some fruits , veggies, eggs , cheese , French fries, Bread,Milk, My total bill was $58.85-16.00 (Coupons) =$42.85
