@coupongirl :at the beginning of my couponning I was not aware of reebee or and we had a lots of flyers but now each week the bundle seems to be less...they just put super c and iga since it is near us...and maxi is an online flyer now
I put reebee on my i pod just in case
In my years of using flyers i just highlined the pm for more easier to find it
But now i watch the flyers and then I know what numeric page to open in the cellphone

@coupon girl You are realizing that now some giftees just don't send thanks yous by phone or note cards. At best, if new grandparent sends you a thank you verbally or sends pic of new baby, that is as close as it get. If giftee has social media (FB, Instagram or is known to favour a photographer for marking special occasions), that is where you'll see the little one.
One of three giftees this year sent a card. A second's parent sent photos of baby (or when baby was old enough to wear apparel gifts). Third has not acknowledged gifts by card but I expect that something will be said as thanks when next family event is held. I totally understand about wedding gifts not being acknowledged (have that one person in family who did not send anything and part of reason it was an internal struggle to acknowledge how much gift for new baby should even be considered).

Main purpose in sending gifts is to acknowledge new baby (and maybe earn a bit of family credit for knowing about event by having sent a gift on). You have to decide about continuing contact after this point--I have told Mom that I will not be keeping up with future birthdays and so on. Parents have the means...

Too hot-air is not moving very much in the house.

Had a big argument at home with Bro. Internet again, how I don't contribute and provider is raising monthly fee by $3 and change soon. So I may not be online as much anymore from home. Being strategic...

Thank goodness I have some blood oranges and salad fixins in the fridge. I'm relying on them to keep me cool today. Groceries will have to wait for MOnday. Tentative plan is to get a vaccine shot next week.

Lasagna Zucchini Roll Ups in the Slow Cooker need some work, I over cooked them a bit so the Zucchini was a bit mushy. I also over salted the Zucchini, my bad. I am not ready to give up, it is only my first attempt making them in the slow cooker.

I really need to use my slow cooker more, I know I say this all the time but I always forget how nice it is when Dinner time rolls around and dinner is ready to go.

Time to meal plan for next week

Put a load of laundry on just now. Will have to make sure to hang up DS's clothing for work tomorrow morning. Most of it will be hung to dry. (Found my missing yoga capris!!! I bought 2 pairs last year and could not find the one (I absolutely love both pairs) When DS and I were leaving for our trip I found them in a basket in the entrance shelving.

I just wrapped a Christmas present for my mom. And found new runners I forgot I bought. So I have them on now to wear around the house to work them in.

I'm a huge fan of the flyers as well. We have't received the No Frills or RCSS in a long while. I wonder if they aren't printing them now or just not in my area.

SK has 369 new Covid cases today. The most in a day since last January. The hot spot is Saskatoon, which is where most of my family lives. SK new Covid numbers today would be like Ontario having 4,612 new Covid cases today. 4 days until my children return to school where there are inadequate plans in place to try to protect them.

Our store hasn’t had physical copies of the NF flier in more than a year.

[lizzie bargain]

We were not getting No Frills flyers for awhile either but they are back in my area-I prefer to price match with paper.

[cath007]

@Angela273:we have 603 case of covid in quebec today,the number seems to increase day by day....At another time they where only 200 cases so it is really the invaxxed people and delta variant the problem....

[cath007]

physical flyer: maxi stopped to print their flyer maybe 2 years ago......so we getting use to it..but they are copie of the flyer at the entrance and in the meat section(for people who dont go to internet i guess)But I like to watch the flyer in the web to be prepared of what i want and if i have coupons before, Maybe a environmental decision to stop wasting paper,i dont know...?

That being said.before I trusted the price of maxi..but now for example meat veggie and fruits could be less expenvise at iga,wm and super sometime metro.........so I am not rely of that anymore even if it is in the maxi flyer.
