A new SDM opened in my city and its only 2 minutes from my house. It will likely result in increasing my points. Today I earned 27000 and need to submit a request for 1200 missing points.

Good Evening Everyone,
Well I can admit not a lot got done today, I am feeling very done, I am mentally and physically exhausted.

But the good news are events are over, we celebrated our anniversary in every branch. Wish I could say next week will be better but we have an issue in a branch and need to lay out some new processes so I will be there this week.

I did manage to empty the dishwasher and re load but with that being said I literally had 1 thing to put in, all we had was a spoon to go in.

I will admit I did spent a good chunk of my day working, I am really behind again and this way I still accomplished something without need to be on my feet a standing is not my friend. My feet still hurt a bit and for some reason my one hip is really not happy. I am not done everything for work but got a good chunk done.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday

$71 from tomatoes that I sold this weekend. People always want more than I am able to grow in my back yard garden. I’m still making some freezer tomato sauce tomorrow for our family too.

Happy Fall everyone

Had enough points to cash in 10 dollar in Air Miles. Used the Air Miles and bought skim milk powder and mixed some with water. Tried it. Tastes like water, more than milk. So bought the 250 ml bottles of Fairlife milk on sale at Freshco for 0.50. Mixed the skim milk with water and added some of the Fairlife milk. Tastes good. And stretching our milk money for cereals and such.

YMMV, but IMO, the taste of skimmed milk from powder improves if you don't drink it until a few hours to a day after mixing. It's still not very good, but for perspective, I don't think regular skimmed milk is either.

Had a lovely free booster juice for my birthday today $7.35 .I thought they cancelled this program but maybe because I signed up years ago they are keeping the original birthday members

Then went to swiss chalet and used my 20.00 credit this time we got baked potatoes with our 1/4 chicken meal -you cant screw up baked potatoes -only cost me 6.30

Just got a call from my older dear brother in London,ont ,so nice .

I spent a little over $100 at Sobeys to earn the bonus 100AM. I used $37.98 in coupons, earned 118AM in total, SCOPed a bottle of Sunlight laundry detergent (got 2 more jugs at the right price, but noticed at home that I didn’t earn the bonus 5AM wub2). I also got my money back from the bag of popcorn twists that I bought for the birthday party and was overcharged on it. I had a pic of the price tag from the date...good thing too because the sticker price changed since then, so I got $3.30 back in cash.

No. Some stores got the Fairlife. Some did not. It's up to the store manager
