Thank you everyone for your warm wishes for this year it means a lot to me. I am going to keep on trucking.

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.

[wendymac]

My total redemptions for 2018 were $470. I'm pleased, but I am going to do better this year.

[Giseledta]

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

[Frugalbigmama]

I cleaned out 3 kitchen cupboards when I got home from shopping. Tossed out tons of old crappy food. Feels good!

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
