@flemeth : sure I will kept checking maybe I will get lucky in the 2 or 3 round they put some,but in the meantime i will trade for the ones I really want
ccongratulations for your new job @johnb56789 : well deserved,enjoy it!!!! :)
no deals today as I did not grocery shopping except green seedless grapes @0,99$ lbs at maxi and cie ..I like the green grapes more than the red
Just noticed that the new antiperspirant 2$ off dove any coupon is for the big dry stick not the small one like the preview one
Frugal find of the day I wanted to purchase some knifes like a chef one...but I searched and find some in my pantry (I searched hard...I know I had some just not do it the effort to find those) and find a set of 4 knifes in the boxe..maybe I will check maxi and cie per curiosity they have a 30% off sale but no spending yeah!!!
Ok a weird QOTD that come to my mind after some thinking: Do you think it is a good thing if people post theirs find of coupons and brags or it just ruin the thing because all the people go there and take the coupons or do deals.... I know some people will find the coupons and brag anyway even if this is not posted.
Sorry if my question belong to the dollars and cent thread.Dont want a debate just honnest point of view.Thanks!!!
Me : In my city we have more couponners than I tought and cleared pad people so no it is not a good thing...:( :( :(
Same for empty shelves when they have sales or a deal
I think its great if people post coupons or brags ,as we are all here to be frugal in this forum and it gives us a look at whats out there .I may miss a deal but then read about it in the brags ,so it can be informative.
I have had lovely people on smart canucks ,just roak me coupons sometimes ,so it is a great community to be in.
Congrats on the Job John56789!!!!!!

Halloween 🎃 - local Autism services hosting a virtual party that comes complete with a free kit to participate. As we are now registered with them we get to participate. If we do nothing else, I’m happy.
We need to replace cistern. Have a plan for that. Our cottage purchase closes this week. 😃
Congrats on the job JohnB
Good Evening,
Oh my what a week, so I am still covering someone is on leave, well I get called into my boss's office another person in another branch has also decided to take a leave of absence as well. I may have had a few moments this week just because I am so overwhelmed and getting mixed messages. I keep getting asked what my plan is for things and then when I present my plan to my boss it gets Vetoed or they have changed their minds and now want me to go in a different direction and I just feel like I am spinning in circles.
I am sure not helping me mentally and emotionally is that I am completely exhausted. I have been bed between 8 & 9 every night this week. I sleep but there is just so much going on I cannot keep up.
I wanted to go to Costco this week as they have a few things ons ale I really wanted but never got a chance to go. Almost every night this week when I left work I had at least 40 of my own emails to still deal with so I just came home. Hoping that maybe just maybe some of them are 2 week sales and I can get them next week.
Tomorrow my hope is to get some batch cooking done, I think to simplify it for myself I will use our slow cookers so I can just set them and walk away. I think I will use our small one to make Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Chili and put a big batch of Pasta Sauce in the big slow cooker to just simmer away all day. I need to find a corn bread recipe to make to go with the Chili. I also want to get some baking done to have on hand. I will need to come up with a plan before bed so I can get right on it when I get up tomorrow.
Alright off to make my plan as I am pretty sure it will be bedtime soon.
Have a great night everyone
I am currently waiting an update of a trade I am making for the news coupons !!!! :) I am happy!!! :)
With the crazy price of original ink ,I buy it too at conveniance store and get credited 3$ per old cartridge if you bring them back.That is nice.I am again thinking about buying a crock pot but I have at least 2 creuset pot to make my tenderlion pork mijote..we dont use it so much
I think it’s great if people share there deals so others can benefit from it . That’s the reason I became part of this community. As for sharing there coupon finds that’s also a great thing to do because not all stores usually have the same coupons and we know what to look for.
Good Morning Everyone,
Well we all know what they say about best laid plans. After I posted last night I was so tired I laid down on the couch and watched some TV but keep nodding off so I just went to bed. Normally by the time I get ready for bed I get a little burst of energy so I was planning to find a couple recipes then but nope right to sleep I went.
I made myself sleep in today to see if it would help, I need this exhaustion to ease up a little bit it is getting to the point I feel like I cannot function. I feel a bit better still tired so let's hope this helps.
I baked a batch of Banana muffins to use up some dying Bananas plus it was nice to turn the oven on and take a bit of the chill out of the house. We still have not turned on the heat and are trying to hold off.
I have pulled out the meat I need for today and gathered up all my pantry items from the basement so I am ready to go. I just to start prepping my veggies and get things rolling.
Kitchen is clean, Mom did the dishes after dinner last night (honestly as much as I wanted a clean kitchen I couldn't do dishes last night, I was just done, yesterday was a bad day) and I cleaned up from the muffins so the kitchen is ready for some hardcore food prep today.
Alright time to get to work, I need to get my food stuff done and I see some work stuff came in I need to address that I just could not deal with last night. We had a few things happen yesterday that we need to "clean up" so to say so I will get on that once everything is cooking away.
Have a great day everyone.
I completely agree. Sharing coupon and deal finds are extremely helpful to the community as a whole. We help inspire each other to continue to be frugal in our ways. I have already saved about $30 since returning to SC from people's great ideas and suggestions.
re clearing shelves and coupon tear pads, it's a shame that is happening in your stores. There used to be a lot of that happening back in the extreme couponing days. One way that people combatted people hoarding coupons was by refusing to trade with people who had coupons in large numbers or for sale on ebay. Thank you to all for sharing your frugal ideas and savings updates!

Yesterday, the grass got its overdue cutting (missed last week) as the rains this week have made brown areas a bit greener. Had fun mowing over the fallen leaves a few times, even during light rain. Just in time as late afternoon, the rain was harder! I had some raking to do in order to get most of the fine branches that came down with a big branch plus remove acidic tree leaves that I did not want to mow over when I went to cut grass. Still have some yard waste bags left but am uncertain if we'll need more for November as leaves don't just stick to October as a time to fall down. Plus there are branches to trim still...:frown:
Walked to bank-no refund yet in account. But saw e-mail that one item in order is getting refunded, so that's welcome news. Got October issue of Snapd Hamilton free paper to read at home.
The heat was turned on yesterday after some electrical matter was resolved by Bro (he may have fixed a longstanding light issue in living room). Mom had the oven on for something she baked-the heat was divine, as was the warmth from the dryer. I did turn the thermostat down to usual setting as I told Mom we should not be keen to have the heat on except overnight (which helps with laundry hanging on the lines downstairs) due to the cost of everything nowadays. Gas monthly billing is now $101. Last month, Mom had $2 and change to pay Gas supplier (no credit as usual due to the cost of utilities now adding carbon tax). Let's hope that gas supplier does not yank equal billing amount to a higher sum next month nor in March!
THis morning, I went to Food Basics for the 2 for $5 pop deal. I have the $1.99 Pc Optimum offer for pop this weekend (limit 2) but local store has not much variety except for colas (reg/diet) and ginger ale. I craved orange Crush and 7up so went to Food Basics.
Read online that an Ancaster resident won big on the All-In portion of Poker Lotto. $160K+. My kind of dream when I do elect to pay the extra $1 to play All-In on top of card cost.
Next week, Hamilton Public Library will be open on Mondays and start with 10am openings at most branches. So excited! Check your area library system for October changes in hours and any programming offers as well.
I have not noticed much this week in terms of new coupons in grocery stores. I rather expect a coupon insert to show up say next week in the mail or community newspaper.
Sometimes when I scan the flyers, I know which store flyer I am looking at but my brain is not registering anything past the first page. At least the Longo's flyer came this week-so I will visit the store for specials!
I am eating 4-5 servings of fruit daily due to the fruit box order. The apples are a bit overripe (that soft brown thing) but the red grapes and green pears are consumed quickly as well as the bananas. Have some thick-skinned oranges to enjoy over the weekend. I used up 4 rubbery languishing small carrots this morning as a snack from the crisper while waiting for my Lipton's chicken noodle soup to cook on the stove for breakfast. I may wash and chop the bag of carrots (not mine but stuff gets forgotten) and also the bag of celery, as sticks move faster than unwashed/unpeeled produce.
Noticed that a couple of spice jars are getting empty-must add those items to the next grocery list.
I want a chiffon cake for tea tonight. Or a quick loaf. Feels chilly enough to bake and to make the effort.:top:
Good Afternoon Everyone,
Ever have one of those days where everything just seem to take longer than it should? That has been my day, it start off well until I went to do my veggie prep and then everything seem to just slow right down.
It seemed like getting the Turkey Chili in the Slow Cooker went pretty well, no delay there other than me playing with spices. I combined 2 recipes, one I found for Turkey Chili and one I found for Turkey & Sweet Potato Chili.
The when I got the Pasta Sauce it seem like everything slowed down and it took my longer than expected to get it in the other Slow Cooker. Also turns out I got a little over ambitious and could not fit it all in the Slow Cooker, so I have half in the slow cooker now, when it is done I will wash the slow cooker and put the second half in the liner tonight and leave in the fridge to be turned on in the morning.
I think we will have a late lunch early dinner and will have the Turkey Sweet Potato Chili so I have put some Cornbread in the Oven.
I also cleaned out the fridge not much to go although not impressed with my cucumbers they were starting to get soft spots so I have peeled them and saved what I could. Garbage and Recycling has been taken out and I think I am done for the day. My back is starting to hurt so I think it is time to switch to work so I can sit on the couch and hopefully not push my back. Last weekend I pushed a little too hard and Sunday was hard to get much done so I do not want to repeat this weekend.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful day
Hope everyone is having a good day. I've had a productive day with a focus on catching up with coupon sources/printables, sending email requests etc. My printer is SO old that I have to restart my wifi on it even after printing a test page. oh well, I'm having lots of fun and slowly stocking up on coupons.
With all of the printables, I may have to go get a binder and clear insert sheets to store them. I used to use an old business card holder for the old save.ca and websaver mail outs which were much smaller.
I also practiced ukelele and discussed ways that we could potentially perform Christmas carols on zoom or something in our group
I was hoping to make homemade bits and bites but I think I'll wait and make them tomorrow.
Just left over chili tonight, we may go for comfort food and make chili fries instead
Adding $9.02 to my kayak fund. I owed someone for 2 jars of peanuts and they told me to put it towards my kayak fund instead... Hooray!
Have a wonderful evening!
Good late afternoon and happy saturday everyone!!!! :)
I wanted to print normal smartsource coupons and all my applications are fine but it dont work...before it was just for hidden coupons it was not working...so silly...(wanted the 1,50$ cascade fluff toilet paper,and the 1,00$ cavendish farms and all day breakfest 1,00$ patato coupon ...) My dad portable computer was able to print me 2 cascade and 2 cavendish with chrome but that it...so odd
Weather channel said qc could have snow without 2 weeks...not looking forward that...
One of my childhood friend send me a fb message but I wont reply...it is like she remember me 2 time a year I exist...no way..
Supper is dr oekter momento spinach pizza and a ceasar salad..easy peasy
Sorted the change in my purse I have 80$ ,,,so that will go into a emergency fund.
Chilly but lovely day here in qc!!! :)
Have a wonderful evening everyone!!! :)
hi all.
spent 3 hours cleaning teh black walnuts off the front lawn. i dislike the black walnuts but it is done forthe year.
fyi - foodland gr store has ham on sale for 1.77 lb. i have 2 in the freezer and 1 in the fridge. i may go back and get 1 more.... 1.77 lb...
tomorrow i am going to sdm , 20x points.
and cleaning the house.
i made a nice roast beef for supper, with carrots. and potatoes. so yummy.
Turkey & Sweet Potato Chili was a success, kind of??
Mom liked it but didn't like the Sweet Potatoes, I like it but liked the Sweet Potatoes so we decided to meet in the middle, next time I make it I will use half the amount of Sweet Potato I used this time.
First batch of Pasta Sauce is done and in the fridge OH MY it is so good. I could not fit the Slow Cooker liner in the fridge so I will need to dump everything together in the morning and turn it on. Although I just realized I chopped the rest of the veggies and put them in the fridge but I forgot to chop the Onion so I will need to do that in the morning.
Been looking up new recipes online, trying to get some new ideas but with the change in weather I am all about the Soups, Stews and Chilis right now.
Hope everyone has a wonderful night
@Sass SYASHLEY my MIL made a chili last week with sweet potatoes and vegetarian beef and it was actually really good. I wasn't expecting to like it lol
@Cathy i am looking for coupoms for you. Picked some up at an out of town Zehrs tonight. Will look tomorrow too and mail to you Monday or Tuesday.
