March Frugal Chatter - Spring is Coming

[HermanH]

I might try that.I will put the receipt in my purse.I just need the receipt not the can?

Some stores have just given me a price-adjustment with just the receipt.

I try to plan my purchases for the last valid day of flyer. Often, you can see a preview of the next week's flyer online. So, you can have a peek into most offers for the upcoming week before deciding to buy or not. Not all stores offer sneak preview peaks of their flyers one day before the flyer is 'activated' or valid, but I find that most of the major chains do so.

Also, some flyers activate on different days. For example, Safeway/Walmart/Coop/SavOn Foods flyers start on Thursday, but No Frills and RCSS do not start until Friday. The one day overlap grants me an extra day to look at the flyers before deciding if I need to make the purchase at NoFrills or RCSS.

Had to pop into the office to grab stuff. Decided to go to No Frills and do the cheez-it deal since I found the $1 coupons (and there is a mom looking for food for her kids for school snacks always on the FB groups so wanted to put a bag together for her)

So for .19 cents out of pocket (and 12000 PC points) I got:

8 boxes of Cheez-it crackers
1 Cracker Barrel Shreded cheese
2 L Milk (was $4.44 less 50% off- expires April 7th)
2 cans of raw almonds
2 free No frills bags (for garbage!)

Used $9 in coupons. Redeemed $20 in pts and received back $8 in points.

I realized I purchased tons of veggies last week .So instead of buying others expensive veggies dips 9like marzetti one so good but oh do but so expensive like 4-6$ a small container) to make my own veggie dip found my mother belover her mother recepie and bonus I had some chive cream cheese to use too that was about to expire so no waste(made with mayo,sour cream and chive cream cheese..I dont like the chili sauce so I dont put it) so now I have like 2 containers of dips and have the stuff to make another one.This is what I did frugal today!!! Now I have to much brocoli so I searched a recepie for a salad ..I think I found one I could motify to my taste,JUst need to purchase apples and citrus,have all the rest of ingrediants on hand.It is natasha kitchen recepie pop into my fb newsfeed perfect time.I love apples salad it been like age I have enjoyed one.My last one was with my beloved mother the marcher public one but the store dont exist anymore... that is sad!

Had my 2nd cash pick up for the day. $16 added to the cash collection. I need to get posting but just didn't feel like it today.

I am so looking forward to dinner. Roast beef with mushroom gravy and roasted asparagus. Yum!!! Just waiting on the asparagus to cook as I wanted it fresh with dinner. We have so much asparagus still from the deal last week. Will make a shrimp/asparagus/mushroom pasta this weekend.

I haven’t had much luck with contests lately, but I continue to enter them. My kids just entered an Easter colouring contest. Do you have any contests that you’ve been entering lately, that you can share with me?

[lilo0003]

I spent 2 hours on the phone with my brother. Clearly it’s been a while since we chatted. It looks like we will do our Easter meal Friday so I need to go out after work tomorrow to get a rack of lamb as that is what my older son wants to cook. Hopefully I can find one. @Angela273 I am always impressed by people who win contests. I am rarely lucky but also rarely try to win.

[flemeth]

Good morning everyone.
@Angela273 I give up on entering contests I never win anything.
@cath007 hoping you dad is in a better mood today
