January 2019 Frugal Chatter thread (New Year, new calendars)

ceil-I watched marie kondo netflick episodes -all of them ,get a load of the woman who pays someone to do her laundry as she hates doing it -I have a daughter-in-law who hates doing laundry too ,but I love doing laundry and folding and I always do a load when I babysit baby cara
I also read her 2 books -I don't believe in rolling socks thou -mind you I don't even have that many -lol

So 3 days off from babysitting took my tree own today and started organizing -put all my gift bags xmas ones in a bag according to size and then I decided to use a cloth bag (as I have so many) to put my tissue paper in I think I have enough tissue paper to last me my lifetime -lol

frugalbigmama-i have already started for next xmas and easter for the grandkids ,at the Disney store the other day where do you get p,js for 10.00 you don't well except last summer I got winter p,js at gymboyee for 4.99-it pays to shop ahead even in the clothing dept

Upcoming Ontario sale flyers are posted... Already planning my yummy meals for next week. Lots of good sale items on fresh stuff. We will eat well and healthy for sure :)

Well super worked as planned, but we still have some leftover beef roast and our kids aren’t enthused. It was nicely cooked, but they prefer ground beef and noodles.

Two of my great trades arrived today. It’s nice to have new coupons for meat, veggies, and fruit. I hadn’t seen these specific coupons before, which is why I traded for them. It’s nice that they arrived before our trip.

Some drama with daycare familjes today, but I’m trying to take it all in stride. I’m verbally spreading the word regarding my new daycare vacancies.

I had all the kids kids at the Family Centre for the morning and packed our snacks. It was -27 with the wind chill.

I cooked up the roast after 7pm as planned. Kitchen is all clean. Roast sliced and in fridge. Sandwiches made for lunches tomorrow. After reduced sticker and bonus PC pts I paid roughly $4 per striploin roast. I should have cleared the bunker ( I paid with points too) oh well try not to over stock up but I think I have on these,
im keeping up on what needs to be used in fridge. I put cooked sausage in freezer. Will pull out one night next week for boys for dinner. Will deal with the rest of leftovers tomorrow night ( make DS chicken fried rice)

Good morning all.
My plan for dinner is leftovers tonight and what’s not eaten will have to go in the green bin.
My plan for today is to go to RCSS and check out there clearance on Christmas stuff @Angela273 I was not even aware that there is new coupons out for meat, fruits and veggies. If you do t mind can you give some details when you have time.
Have a great Wednesday all

Happy hump day!!!! We are expecting a storm this afternoon but school was a go! I was happy I made lunches last night and I even made DS an egg mcmuffin for breakfast to eat on the way to school :)
I had the roast pan soaking in the sink overnight and washed it up this morning. Dinner will be quick tonight since it is leftovers I have decided. We will just eat the roast for sandwiches the rest of the week. (I don't buy processed meat) I will do some laundry tonight since I am not stuck in the kitchen.

morning all .
snow came over night. not lots . but some.
i need to spend a bit of time doing some coupon trade stuff. hope to get a few good ones.
shoveled the drive way.. my trackers says 2400 steps....lol. thats a good start to the day.

Men/women deodorant ( we have lots of body wash and shampoo but I would still buy more to keep the stock up :))
socks/underwear (we are all fully stocked up... only buying for Christmas :))

shampoo, cleaners. Beef...
