Good earlier afternoon!!!! I am making my grocery shopping list and then will go to maxi and cie.Still dont know with the agropur promo buy 3 cheese and get a 10$ grocery gift card for the store you purchased those....I posted in the deals section the promo and the link...Well I dont know if I buy 3 anco gouda cheese if I can qualify of it has to be the strick list..it is not clear and look like no one know...grrr I dont want to buy cheese and dont have the gift card....will see the price of the cheese at the grocery at least.In IGA qc they have a sticker with the promo near those product in the flyer..so dont know..so frustrating because it would be a good promo..along with the cavendish one....but for the cavendish that will wait i have no space left in the freezer..I saw chapmans are 3,99$ at provigo and want to try the cappucino flavor..I have 3 coupons that expire in 2021..ho well i will wait for another sale or make room by eating from the freezer before the sale end I guess....

Not too many leaves on the trees
Have an awesome day everyone!!!!

Hi all!

Waiting to pick a day to close the cottage and hoping to spend next weekend there. Because it is land-lease, it is more like buying a car. The family wanted to go up this weekend and do one last look over. I am pretty excited, thanks for the well-wishes.

We might not need to replace the cistern. DH thinks there may be a leak in our outdoor tap pipe. We have shut it off to see if it makes a difference. Either way we have a plan. Any purchase for our home and cottage will be investment we see return on, so it is not stressing me. Especially since other than our mortgage we have no debt right now. I think I have learned to leverage our debt to have return though, so I don't regret the debt we have took on in the past.

Productive day. Baking and food prep: oatmeal-flax-choc-chip gluten free muffins, cornbread, salad, quinoa salad, hard boiled eggs all ready for the week.

Went to Winners to spend some gift cards. Bought a couple tops and some Christmas gifts.

Cheese promo:I must admit that I so love gouda and gouda anco cheese that I splurged into this promo...and submitted my receipt for the promo.They are 6,00$ at maxi and cie.The only problem is ,in my mind I tought it was 4 products to get the giftcard...so I purchased 4 not 3...but i had an points offer ..... lets hope it will get accepted...otherwhise I will bit my nails lol.And I did not return the cheese dont worth the hassle to explain why to the cashier I realised after at home. ( I think today I was not in a good mood to go grocery shopping but I am almost done for the week at least,my concentration was just not there..it happen i guess)...

[cath007]

Good late evening everyone!!!
Well my grocery shopping was kind of interresting.... surprise surprise no ground beef famillial package because it was on sale at 2,78$ I think..so no food prep for my pate chinois..sure it is the same price sale this week at iga but when I realised i was home and not motivated to go again out. No macaroni salad,no pastry pot pie and the cashier said I give her 80$ when I given her 90$ total was 89,30$ I said 2 time before she wanted to do it to recount the bills because I gave her 3 x 20$ and 3x10$ ....grrr..really grinded my gears
I did make 8500 pc points,miss me 1500 pc points to reach 10$ ,,so not that bad I guess and got a few deals.
We received for first time in age maxi flyer in our bundle but we have a maxi and cie here so no ,it is not all the same deals so odd.....Got t he metro and wm flyer too since age
Will redo this cheese promo if my receipt is accepted because 8$ for 3 cheese after the 10$ giftcard is a crazy good deal,+++ with pc points offer too.But it said they send the giftcard after the promo so I dont expect it before january....did the receipt submit with dad cell,because it wont let me with my kodak....grr

@Granger I sent you a teaching related email. Thank you for any help/support that you’re able to provide.

Good Evening Everyone,
It was a bit of a blah day here, I did not sleep well last night. I could not fall asleep and once I fell asleep I did not stay asleep. Mixed in with life today has just been one of those days where I have no ambition.

Laundry is washed, dried, folded, first load put away second load I will put away when I go to bed.

Dinner was homemade pizza, thinking next weekend I might make a couple of batch of dough and freeze them just to have on hand.

Second batch of Pasta Sauce is done and in the freezer, I will bag these up tomorrow night after work. I should have tried to re arrange the chest freezer today but I didn't.

I am starting to get concerned over the second wave so I think I may go to Costco one night after work and just grab a few more things just to have on hand. On my list is:
Restaurant Size cans of Tomatoes (they are so cheap at Costco)
Passata
Tomato Paste (Need to look at the price, will only buy if it is a good price)
Chicken Broth
Cream Cheese (if it is still on sale, if not I will go to Food Basics)
Salt

That is all I can think of right now, I really should have tackled the freezer today but I just did not have it in me. There is so much I want to get done this week, I hope I can get it done but only time will tell how insane this week might be. As long as my trainee is there all week I should be able to stay on top of my work which means hopefully not working after work and I can get some stuff done at home.

Hope everyone had a great day

Morning i am relaxing today(no running around) ,woke up at 4.40 a.m and did 2 loads of laundry ,ran the dishwasher and watched a bit of t.v.

I thought i would get on the bandwagon of emailing or calling for coupons just called colgate /palmolive.

Well... Today is the day, the first day of my new job! For the first week I am only working 12-4pm and likely still reduced hours next week too as I still have 40hrs/week at my other job still... But after that, I will be at full-time with the new job, then down to 2 or 3 shifts a week at RCSS... Nice thing is that I will still have most weekends fully off to relax and visit family... I'm so nervous and terrified, but excited for the potential that could arise from this new job (The potential to run my own department eventually, that being Community Outreach/Well-being)
