Not a frugal day but I was happy finding 6 Monopoly stickers today, and also found $1.30 worth of containers (I used a bus fare and got things done). Treated self to Angus burger combo at Harveys-that toasted bun was so worth the wait! Got a little food shopping done at Denningers and also two packages of Christmas napkins (since Sobeys no longer carries Compliments napkins in prints). The rain is not helping to keep my spirits bright.
I literally bagged leaves yesterday morning before a pickup to go to the library. When I returned, a tree crew was trimming three of our trees, so there were many branches and wood bits to rake up and bag for today's collection. Which meant 3h+ nap after a snack break because my back went on strike! I have one yard waste bag left and wish I had jumped on Home Hardware's $1.99 for 5 bags deal over a week ago.
Next headache-finding an 18w cfl bulb with that GU24 bottom (two metal pins). only Amazon seems to have the right wattage or I'd be stuck buying a 6 pk of bulbs at one major store. The bulb is from a bathroom vent/lighting unit and expired two months shy of 7 years of use!
Das Journal newspaper contains the Edelweiss Imports Christmas catalog. I'm going to look it over again, as it seems not to feature food as much as mostly giftware.
