Had a good week of productivity, mending some clothes
Saved some good money shopping yesterday. Also redeemed $20 pc points, $10 Shoppers seniors GC, $20 AM which I am going to bank in my savings accounts. Started a new category of savings for next falls cottage rental. I've started buying milk and essentials at Shoppers on seniors day. With milk alone, I'm saving $1.80 a week (we drink a lot of milk)
I also received a cheque from CO51 for $20.75
We have a friend dropping by for an outside visit tomorrow and then a family zoom on Sunday.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Good Morning and TGIF! Easy work day for me too so hope to get the house all tidied up for the weekend.
Have my bedding in the washer now with my fav hoodie lol. Will hang the hoodie outside to dry in the sunshine.
Folding my towels now and putting them away.Sink is full of soapy hot water to wash up the dishes and clean out the fridge.

I was in the laundry room so organized a bit and found 2 board games new in package (from the $10 coupon deal years ago so I paid pennies for them) Posted for $10 each and lady is on her way now to pick up both!
Will go post more things for sale this morning.

I think I will make a homemade mac and cheese today. It is a cold damp day and that would be perfect.

Have a safe weekend everyone!

Did a little tree branch trimming right before some rain fell yesterday afternoon. At least that's done and I finally oiled the higher wheels of the two clotheslines (never did that in the spring due to need for ladder and I was not doing that). I watched one of the two movies I wanted streamed and it was funny--think Gail Vaz Oxlade would relate to the chief accountant saying "must think of the future" all the time when people in the clan wanted to spend....

Since weather forecast is for a warm night, I will do a can and Monopoly sticker walk(going to be harder to find stickers as most restos are offering food orders in bags and most customers leave bags on tables without stickers (if dining in, everyone seems to peel off their Monopoly stickers) or mobile orders don't usually get left on roadways (except by walking litterbugs or window tossing litterbugs from cars). Did spot a burger box on road so I will check it out later!

Ms. Sunshine is beaming brightly--so delightful! She can help me spot shiny things on my walk.

Speaking of McDonalds-I was looking at Walmart's digital flyer (we did not get the paper flyer this week) and was surprised to see the $1 med fries from McDonalds offer. I did not know the in-store McDs have reopened. Happened to walk past the Walmart yesterday thinking resto is still closed. Hours have changed-it's only open from 10:30am to 8pm. YMMV with your locations.

Cooked a bag of macaroni. Then went to No Frills to get cheese. $3.97 for Armstrong. Bought 6. used .75 coupons and received 4800 PC pts for personal offer. We are set for taco/fahitos/nachos for the next few months.
Mac and cheese is in the oven and the kitchen is clean. Now to make my bed with fresh sheets and tidy the room up.
I also made up a cold macaroni salad with the excess macaroni and used up onions and peppers in fridge.
Cooking is done for the day! Friday night heat and eat.

Had my 2nd sale of the day for $10. New ziploc containers i probably paid the tax on after Christmas clearance and coupons. I will never use so time to go! Figure the best way to start organizing is to get rid of stuff so ive been posting as i sort stuff on the shelves.

I rarely buy lotto tickets or scrach tickets. Last weekend my guy had a gig out of town so i went walking around and went to a convenience store and bought a bunch of tickets and added a cash for life to make it an even $20. Won $20 on the cash for life so the tickets were free. Just checked the lotto max and won $20. Im on a roll!

Just to let anyone who does online shopping "littleblue house " has free shipping .It is a great clothing store based out of quebec i think .

I just ordered my hubby a t-shirt "papa bear" it has on it and he is called papa by the grandkids and a pair of socks for my son both on sale .Thier quality of clothing is great -i have had sleep pants from them for myself and a nightie .

Found a 6.5 kg turkey. I bought the stuffed one as it’s what I prefer so this is the right amount for us. I used 40.00 in PCO for groceries and then 20.00 of Air Miles at metro. I had an offer if I spent 20.00 then I get 20 AM and metro also has the use 95 AM get 25 bonus miles this weekend so it was a good time to use some up.
Posted a few games for sale at 4 pm and have a pickup for 6. Slowly getting the basement ready for the painter. I still have a few weeks.
