October 2020 Frugal Chatter(Harvest the savings)

[crafter]

Was not aware dollorama have a website and they are selling online too ..good to know for checking the price before I go to the store and have an idea what I will spend,.

As Ciel mentioned, they only sell by case online. I was surprised that some of their prices per unit (i.e. when you buy a case) really aren't as good as expected.

You might find some items to look in the store for preplanning your trip

Once Dollarama accepted credit/debit, my purchases definitely increased. I shop there occassionally, usually to stock up on home maintenance supplies, cards or crafts or dog toys. They do carry a lot of candy for cheaper (i.e. a fav Mike and Ike's). Yes they have a lot of baking supplies. The Betty Crocker measuring cups don't hold up long but for the price, they're ok.

Just double check ahead for CO51 and Caddle rebates, some offers exclude Dollarama and some offers are fine

Happy Baking!

Flashfood had large cheese bars on for $1.50. I just bought lots of cheese last week but you can never have too much so bought 3. 1 medium for fahitas tonight and 2 old to make mac and cheese. Think I will make a bunch for the freezer ready to pop in the oven. Maybe I should grab more cheese!

The other 2 bars of cheese I am going to wrap well for the freezer and use for future mac and cheese. It should be fine since I will be using it for this.

Good Evening Everyone,
Oh what a day, I woke up with a headache which should have been a sign of the day to come. I had the headache all day and it was insane day, never a good mix.

With that being said, I am going to be "sick" tomorrow and not go into the branch. I spoke with their manager today and we decided my trainee needs to fly alone for a day and see how that goes, right now I am safety net for them but we need to see what happens when I am not there to remind them and look over them. I am doing this in hopes that over the next couple of weeks I can cut back my time in the branch, I would like to be down to one or two days a week by the end of the month so I can shift my focus to other branches and get back to working on my own projects. I am not off tomorrow but will work from home.

Still have a headache and my shoulders and neck hurt so I did not get a lot done but I did make a batch of Spreadables and put what I could in the dishwasher. There are a few dishes in the sink but since I am working from home tomorrow I will do these on my lunch.

I have looked at the new Hydro Rates and I am torn on what to do. My concern is with me working from home now will our Hydro use go up and since it I am home all day will there be more use during peak times. Laundry nor the dishwasher would be run but with me being home will we have the heat a little higher during the day or will I just in general use more electricity being home? But since we heat with electric during the winter we will go over the 1000 kwatt so would tier pricing be higher? I am not good with choice like this I always worry I am making the wrong choice. Although let me tell heating with electric our hydro use in winter triples not happy about that.

Alright I am trying to find me time and not always be on the go and hopefully focus a bit on me and get over this burnout I am still pushing through so I am off to watch some Netflix and then it will be early to bed for me and hopefully no headache tomorrow.

Have a great night everyone
