Guys do you have sometimes cashier who dont like to do price matching and said it to you...I had one today at maxi and cie..but she said that with laughing lol...

[HermanH]

Did you ask about the reason behind her dislike for price-match?
Did she think the procedure tedious, cumbersome, frivolous, or something else?

I had one RCSS cashier ask me for the advertisement when I asked for PM on celery. As I was digging it out, I said, "All this hassle for 50 cents off?"

She just gave it to me.

No,I think it is because it is more job for her hahaha I just laughed when she said that lol( and I just had like 3 pm to do so .....hahahaha but it is not that thing who ticked me..it is each time the people behind me who are not patient with my pm even if we are still 1 meter of distance...I hate that...Pm is a part of maxi policy so just accept it lol.The guy before me turned is back because he was exausted a lady went back to get his scop because she was charged to much,but she only noticec at home..hahaha ...like pm and scop is bs or something....I respect the others so respect me hahahaI liked much better when we where at 2 meter of distance and in a line after the cash till...not at the same place lol

@cath007 I do most of my shopping at RCSS and so far I find all there cashier are nice and doesn’t care if you are PM . With the young and new cashier I find the like to open the app and read all the details of the PM which is fine with me so that can take a while since I usually try to find a cheaper price for everything that I buy . I also usually inform the person behind of me that it can take a while since I will be PM and if coupons is involve that’s makes it take a little bit longer . Another tip I don’t go when it super busy if it’s a big shop for me. It’s there choice if the want to wait

Maybe when you shop choose the cashier that more PM and coupon friendly. By now you should know which cashier will give you a hard time if that’s the store you shop always

Good Morning Everyone,
I decided to start a sleep reset last night. I must admit getting up at 5 am now that it is still dark out is a bit more challenging, this morning my whole body was like "it is still dark out, we do not want to get up."

There was some cool air when I got up so I opened the house up and let the cool air in. Fingers crossed weather network has not lied to me and starting tomorrow it cools down. There are so many things I need to tackle once it cools down, even with fans it has been too hot.

I also think we have another mouse, I heard some noises yesterday morning.

Still need to figure out dinner for tonight, thinking maybe an Instant Pot meal.

Have a great Monday everyone.

Happy Monday! As nice as it was to be off work for 2 weeks I am happy to be back.

I packed my food for the office. Greek yogurt and apple for breakfast. I made a turkey/gouda/lettuce sandwich with cucumbers and clementines on the side. (Love the bento boxes for packing lunch!)
Picked up a $1 coffee at Mcdonald's this morning. Building up the stickers on the app and real one for the card (which thanks to Cathy I know to use up by Feb- will get fancy drinks for the hockey arena )
Loving my clean and organized fridge. I am going to be really diligent in no food waste. Buy fresh stuff and use it up before buying more.

Tonight I will put away the clean laundry. I have folded all the towels already so that will make it quicker. Tidy the kitchen. Slice up the cooked chicken in the fridge and put it in the freezer. Will take the dogs for a walk before bed again. Last night as soon as we went outside the lightening started and then it started getting really windy. We only stayed on our crescent and didn't go far from the house.

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Yes i have my new furnace and air installed it took all day but they finished at 3.30 cant wait,it is starting to get cool in here now .

I also only PM at RCSS and I know which cashiers to avoid but most are awesome and if I did not pick the lowest PM they will tell me and then use that price. I also pick the line that’s already PMing because most people will avoid us then.
my mom stayed over last night and took us out for breakfast. It was a nice way to start the workweek.

[Frugalbigmama]

Ok I just have to mention again that I am a huge fan of the bento box for my lunch! Will make the same lunch for tomorrow because it was so good!!.

Dishes washed and kitchen clean. Towels hung up to dry. Will put in dryer for a few mins tomorrow night to soften up and fold and put
away.

@flemeth: I dont know the cashiers because they change all the time and with covid no line distanciation but we dont choose where we go ....

Just found out I can book a third Covid shot which I did-because I had Covishield( made in India) and some countries don't recognize it and I plan to travel in the spring I am eligible for a third shot in Alberta. Yeah-by the time I am done I will have one of everything going-the human guinea pig!

[HermanH]

I can understand the reluctance of some countries to accept vaccination protocols of other nations. I think that the USA still does not recognize the Astrazeneca vaccine. While AZ is quite popular in the West (i.e. UK), there are other vaccines about which I would personally be quite sceptical, such as the Sputnik-V (Russia) and the SinoVac / SinoPharm (PRC).

Would you trust the efficacy of vaccination from Russia or the PRChina?

[lizzie bargain]

probably not.
