Ready for the "new year" in late summer. Last round of peaches, cherries and other tender fruits!
Thank you @Ciel for starting this thread
Hoping for the weather to stay hot and sunny so that a few vegetables in my DH garden can ripen like the hot peppers , tomatoes and the few more squash and butternut squash get to grow some more. Also hoping to find some awesome food coupons like the cheese , Becel etc

Fortinos stores seems to have only the $1.49 wide PC recyclable totes but not the 99 cents ones. @lilo0003 does RCSS in your area stock the 99 cent totes? I could not even find a used one at Talize because I made a point to check the bag section just in case there was one for sale.
My August coupons have been tossed out and I have very few on hand for purchases. I am going to have to be smart about food purchases this month--been a busy week of stocking up on other things or replacing things.
Think the lentil "meat loaf" is due to appear on the menu this week. Certainly not the lentil stew-I was stuck eating it all on my own and that was not fun.
angela -awesome amount of money on stuff sold.I am always amazed at the coupon usage amount you have each month .
Wow sept already sebastian 4th birthday this month ,then my birthday /anniversary ,then son-in-laws a busy month .
Good morning
Laundry is on the go . Kitchen is cleaned have a few errands to run will be on the look out for new tear pads today
@Angela273 I am always in awe at how much you save each month and also your scope and coupon usage
Good Morning! It is a pancake with fresh strawberries kind of day!
Still puttering away on my list. Tacos meat ready for boys to make dinner before they go to work. I have 4 pick ups scheduled for today. Will continue to sort and post stuff for sale. Keep up on laundry.
Have a good day!
:washing:Already done two loads. Woo woo!
:hungry: Made choc chip pancakes for breakfast.
September goal: use more emojis in posts. :clap2:
It is beautiful out. I think I will clean out my vehicle later this afternoon. Give it a good wipe down inside. Now that all the junk is out of it.
I have 4lbs of carrots I need to deal with. Think I will chop them up and freeze them. Then can add to crockpot meals and soup etc.
I am on my second load also granger -trying to hang as much as i can .
I went to mastermind this morning as its grandparents day 20% off when you are a member first tuesday of everymonth

Then on to walmart -their service person at returns had the mask on all wrong or maybe she didnt care .I got a lot of rubbermaid and papermate items with the 1.00 and 2.00 cpns saved 12.00.Thanks again lilo for the cpns as i never ever found them and they sure were put to good use .
Good earlier afternoon everyone!!!! :)
Did my shopping at maxi exchanged 10$ in points so that helped to paid a little bit :) Every penny count!!! :)Got 3 bags of some nice jumbo raw shrimps at 5,98$ reg : 10$ :yikes:and a few other things.... Freezer is full and we have enought to last 1 week until another grocery shopping trip.Did not buy ground beef because I found some frozen have to use it in a chinese pate maybe but this week price at 2,69$ lb at super c I think was great ..:( :( :(
Nothing appealing me in the news flyers except laura secord chocolate spread(will be a treat),uncle bens rice at metro and maybe pork tenderlion,peachs and plums at 1,99$ lbs at maxi,bananas,milk and hams and eggs...see minimalist shopping...I put my budget at 50$ for next week... really that is the max I could spend...hope it will be less
Cloudy day today,.sure fall is coming ..I will receive my wm order of 3 items sept 3
Supper easy peasy chicken ceasar wraps
I hate that when doing cleaning of the freezer I had to toss away in the garbage 3 things that was by passed...I so hate wasting food
Have a wonderful day everyone!!!! :)
Glad you got some back to school coupons @coupon girl
I did not have luck to find any :(
Not sure if I will go hunting new tp coupons this week...I sure would love the petit quebec cheese ,cracker barrel,dove deo ,degree ,iogo and laughing cow ones I saw on a post in a french couponning fb group!
Last month 1 got 30$ in pc points
and 20$ maybe in coupons that is not enough for me...I want to do a emergency fund for me
sure at least price matching and sale are available for anyone :)
wow angela you must have a lot of coupons in your coupon binder to pass that amount of coupons...is that the tp ones?
Toilet Paper- I always bought at SDM on 20x the points when on sale for $3.99.
I bought the club pack at Costco for the 1st time a few months ago. Reason being SDM was sold out all the time and I would only buy and stock us up if I was doing 20x the pts. Now not sure its worth it. The costco pack is huge.
What is your deal for TP?
so odd my wm order said delivered and I got nothing...will see
wow my order from the gap came in ,i really like the black midi dress with a belt and flutter sleeve ,the other dress is to younger looking on me dont care for it and the size large joggers are way to big from old navy ,so may see if they have a medium in stock .
Wow online shopping is picking up in delivering thats for sure . Total 3 days .
I used to only buy toilet paper on sale and with a coupon, honestly thought it was my best deal but I agree for some reason we bought it from Costco and one package lasts forever. We now only buy it at Costco as you cannot beat the price and only buying a pack every few months.
I did at the start of Covid buy toilet paper somewhere else when Costco was out and at first I was like the price is okay but wow did we run out fast.
Just stopped at No Frills after dropping DS off at work. BLSL chicken still $2 lb. I grabbed 5 more trays. I can make a family meal for under $5 with it and sides.I can't beat that price.
Strawberries were now .88 lb. I just grabbed 1.
I personally haven't bought Toilet paper now in at least 18 months or so, and I still have enough till April 2021 easily. Thank goodness I don't use a lot and was able to get a pretty great deal on it (Cashmere Envirocare 8=16pk for a little under $1.00/pk at Metro). That is one thing I was thankful for, not running out of TP when the COVID started and you couldn't get a pack of TP anywhere!
As for toilet paper i didnt run out during the beggining of covid either and i usually buy the royale at shoppers with a coupon i always pay 3.99 for 24 but lately it has been 4.99 with a coupon ,i am slowely stocking up incase of a second wave.
No costco membership here .
@Ciel I know they had a huge display at the door last week but I did not pay attention to size. I have at least 10 of the black fabric bag because years ago I was dropping paper in a paper only community bin and someone had dumped new PC bags on top. So I took them out. And they were all the large sized bags.
Back to work today:( but I finished at 5:20. It’s my new plan to not work 10-11 hrs a day. Let’s see how it works out for me. Tonight I used up a lot of the ripe tomatoes and made a sauce. The leftover jar will go into the freezer for winter. I am sure I will do this a few more times before the last of the tomatoes.
My son /wife stopped in and i told her i had 2 dresses one i was keeping She tried on the other one and i let her keep it instead of returning it .I am a nice mother-in-law thats for sure .
