I got my free Mini Wheats coupon yesterday & decided to use it right away. Good thing too, because I saw an offer on CO51 for $1 rebate on the new chocolate Mini Wheats. Lucky I got the right kind!

Good Afternoon Everyone,
Oh what a day, I was up just after 5 am and started working.

At 8 am I ran out to No Frills and did our shopping, I was home within 30 minutes and got everything plus more from my list. I am happy with my shop except for my Mushrooms. Last week I did not grab mushrooms at RCSS as were $4.97 which I thought was their regular price, I have only bought them their on sale. Turns out there are now also $4.97 at No Frills. The Price is what it is but kind of annoyed as the ones at RCSS looked way better than the ones I was able to get at No Frills.

My No Frills did not have a limit on the Butter, there was no sign on the shelf or bunker. I asked at Cash and was told the store limit is 20, I did not need 20 but I did grab 4 more unsalted and 2 salted, they are already in the freezer.

Mom had to go drop some papers off today, after she left I went and cleaned the Bathroom Floor and the Stairs to the main floor, they have been swept and I used the Swiffer Wet to "mop" them.

Well I was doing the floors Mom called her car was making a horrible noise if she could get an appointment could I come get her if she dropped her car off. She got an appointment so I had to go pick her up. I was around the corner from our accountant so I dropped off my taxes to be done.

Because of this little hiccup both of us missed lunch so when we got home we were starving so we just pulled Homemade Taco Meat from the freezer and make Nachos. Not what I had planned but it worked, it was quick and easy and on the table. Higher hopes for tomorrow's dinner.

I am super tired tonight, think I need a night off. I do have some work I should do but might leave it for tomorrow morning, I think I am too tired to be accurate.

Have a great night everyone

Can a spritz of Febreze solve this problem without damaging the puzzle?

No i tried that and it doesnt work ,it leaves small bubble dots on the puzzle .

Needed to get out tonight so returned the 2 pairs of running shoes as DS said he doesn't need them as he has 3 pairs on the go. Ok fine.
Then went to No Frills to check out the asparagus deal. Buy 4 bunches at .99 each (pm Foodbasics as price at NF is $2.47 each) and received 4000 pc pts back. It worked! Going back tomorrow for more as it's my oldest fav (mine too) so we will be eating it all week!

Good Morning Everyone,
WOW @Frugalbigmama , my No Frills would not allow that Price Match it would be rejected because my store sells Asparagus by the lb not by the bundle.

Mom was going to go into Food Basics on her way home yesterday but since I picked her up we just came home. She said something about maybe going today we will see. I am not worried either way we have enough food on hand.

I need to start thinking about what I am going to do this weekend, I SERIOUSLY need to Meal Prep this weekend. I did not do a proper Meal Prep last weekend just a few things here and there and we felt it all week especially when it came to lunch. I did not pre cook any meals last weekend and our meals early in the week did not have any leftovers which left us no lunch options.

I am thinking after work today I might go on Pintrest and see if I can come up with some freezer lunch options. Things we can just pull from the freezer and heat when we do not have leftovers for lunch.

This week has been a bit of a struggle we have all of this food in our house but with nothing prepped and having busy days our meals were not take-out but they were not our best meals and I need to turn that around for next week.

Have a great day everyone. Looks like a nice day here, the sun is shining which is nice to see.

No Frills is selling the bundle since that is part of the promotion. Maybe yours didn't get it or it was sold out.

Happy World Sleep Day! Yes, it's is a day...

Tomorrow, Spring!

Ms. Sunshine is out on this cold day. I will go to make a few photo prints and send two in a card for a relative for the afternoon mail.
Got about halfway through e-book on Spark
Joy by Marie Kondo. I need more joy in my room, that is certain!

Online I am seeing indications that Hamilton may be heading for lockdown but when? I can spend time outdoors if libraries have to go back to holds pickup only. Cherish your public library access if you can enter your branch still!

Disney Store at Square One mall in Mississauga is closing within 4 days' time. Hope no one on SC is stuck with Disney cards waiting to be spent...

[SassyAshley]

Guess it is fitting I let myself sleep in until 7 am this morning if it is World Sleep Day LOL
