September 2019 Frugal Chatter-Ring the bell for deals and goal adjustments

[Angela273]

I just bought 9 pairs of leggings for twin girl for $15. I’ve bought things from this lady a few times. While I was picking these up she gave me a brand new coat for twin girl. It still has tags on the jacket. I was happily surprised. It is a lighter winter coat, fake fur on the hood, a medium blue colour.

I managed to do a short grocery trip to Walmart last night, and also try on a couple of women's coats too and got home 20 minutes before the downpour!
The $59.97 George coat has the features I want and is more close to what I expect to spend on a coat. Have to see if there are colours beyond the red with black knit combination. Tiny reflective strips are attached to the three front pocket zipper pulls, so I probably would need to buy matching black/silver reflective tape to add to the sleeve ends and bottom sides of the coat. Will wait to see if there might be a store coat deal in the first week of October (when GST credit is out) to move on a purchase, unless a thrift store find comes along first.

Since I decided to look for Hanes undershirts, I stopped near the underwear rack (not the cardboard display area where I got my 6pk) and realized I had purchased Fruit of the Loom underwear in 2018, not Hanes underwear. Both brands have their products made in the Honduras. Anyway, I am noticing the Hanes product seems shorter but I cannot replace the product with say more new Jockey at this time. Got to have grocery money for remainder of Sept!

I will post that roasted chicken breast recipe from the Sept. 2019 MSL issue and also Longo's slower cooker potatoes recipe.

Found out this week that my flights to Hawaii in Feb had been cancelled although I was not notified. Have filed an online complaint with the airlines customer service. Managed to get a refund(thankfully) after quite a bit of time on the phone and booked a different trip instead. I will be starting to do some occasional childcare again at the end of the month-the family has 4 children and the 2 year old was just diagnosed with leukemia so they can use an extra set of hands when Dad is at work and grandparents cannot be in town.

I called Kraft as the extra old cheese I always buy at Costco tasted much milder-like a Havarti perhaps. So we ended up eating this block of milder cheese and they still offered me 2, $9 coupons or 4, $5 coupons by mail-naturally I said I would take the 4 coupons.

I wake up early and go out to come home to go back to sleep. I have an ice pack under my left wrist it’s in pain today. And it’s slightly swollen I noticed the swelling yesterday.

Why cannot Tracy leave me alone? I want to sleep, listen to my music and not talk to her. She came over last night ate my last muffin and left all her garbage all over my dinning room table. She’s a pig, a plain pig I don’t leave my trash all over her house. I don’t like picking up after someone else I barely can pick up after me. Tracy also keeps calling out people who in her mind need to go after her instead of the homeless population who are living in the bush within our town. She makes it dangerous for everyone who walk the streets that now live in housing herself included.

I went to the grocery store (no frills) nestle 50 chocolate bars were on sale for 6.50$ regular 12$. I also bought honey that was on sale for $4 the 500ml size. Tide pods 41 for 21$ the oxi clean ones. 2 chop chop salads by dole the Cesar salad version $4.97 each and a box of honey nut cluster cereal for $4.37. Redeemed 20,000 pts.

I put the ice pack on the back of my neck. I also took a muscle relaxer.

I also don’t like shopping on a Saturday because of the large amount of people at the grocery store. Sunday is worse though.

Good Evening Everyone,
Have not really been online in a week as I am in the middle of my two week insane stretch. We have a lot going on personally and at work.

Bro got married last weekend, it was a lovely wedding but sadly there was drama and as much as I tried to stay out of it I got dragged into. Both my sis and are were in the wedding party as Bridesmaids but apparently were excluded from some wedding events. Apparently it was decided aside from the actual wedding all other events including the Bridesmaids were deemed friends only, no sisters allowed which sis and were excluded. Both of us went into the wedding weekend knowing what happened and decided it was what it was but sadly all weekend (rehearsal dinner and wedding) we were constantly reminded that we were excluded and even as the events were happening for the wedding we continued to be treated differently. Don't get me wrong I get that it was her day but both of us wish this was addressed with us one on one (or us and the bride) vs constantly in front of her friends who were included. I kind of felt like she did not want us in the wedding party which if that was the case then do not ask us and we would have just attended as his sisters.

Right after the wedding we went into work events, there are 5 events in 2 weeks. At this point we are at 2 down, 3 to go. We were "off" Thursday & Friday but I was already committed to covering running production for the Lead Hand and then on Thursday our production manager was also away. I kept joking next time I want to see the fine print as I do not remember agreeing to be 3 people that day (myself, Lead hand and production manager).

Good news is I have been so busy and am so tired I have not had time to spend money. Thursday night after work I stopped at the grocery and spent all of $20. I got Milk, Yogurt, Ricotta & Ice Cream Bars. Mom was supposed to grocery shop last week but she fell down the stairs and sprained her ankle so she has been very limited to what she can do and has been off work. It has been tricky as I have been away for work and have not been around to help.

Not much else going on. Hope everyone has a wonderful evening. Off to get some more work done, I am so far behind right now and on the road most of next week and they are all day trips which makes getting my work done tricky as I leave super early and get home late and usually just want to go to bed when I get home. Just 1 more week to go then hopefully things get back to normal.

Wow!! What a way to join a new family in marriage....sounds like a mistake marrying her in the first place! Not a nice person at all!
