September 2021 frugal chatter; Almost Fall!!!

happy September.

my youngest is very very happy with her move.. ( mom is still not happy) . so that is fabulous .

i am working on using up stuff.. so much stuff. . lol.
freezer meals.. i wil start stocking some.. i did 2 items on the weekend. will do more ina couple of weeks.
and i want to focus on my back yard.... i simply hate it. really really dont like how it is.. it is not a calm place for me in the least bit.
so .. plan is to get it better , so the spring wont be so hard to get up to shape.

sept, i also have my cpr first aid. , a new dc child starting . ect ect.

it should be a really good month.

@Giseledta … I am glad the move for your daughter went well and that she is chuffed!!

I like your plan for the yard. You deserve a place of tranquility!

Have a great month!!

contest is back you can earn pc points dont know if it work for maxi in qc

Well cooking the ground beef this morning paid off. Nobody home for dinner and I am starving. So pulled the beef from the freezer and have the sauce simmering and the pasta cooking. Yummy filling meal! And good leftovers for kids :)

We accomplished so much today. Dining room is 95% percent done! Laundry all put away but the 2 loads washed today hanging to dry. Kitchen clean but my 2 pots cooking now. But I am done so no more cleaning for me. Will eat and relax.

Thanks!! I thought it started tomorrow - one extra day of points! YAY!!! :D

I cannot believe I was at maxi and cie yesterday and they where not putted...When back this evening for some fruits......the pads was there (nescafe,amooza) etc...but nothing..all cleared in one day..wow...unbelievable ...they must be some crazy couponners in my city....grrr ...:mad::mad::mad:...so frustrating,..that need to stop.Somedays I hope not but I bet coupons will be at the cash with the cashiers only if you buy the product....QOTD: DO you hit clear tearpad you too? Do you think cashier handle the coupon(s) could be a solution or like automatic machine who give you the coupon 1 at the time and with time space...to avoid cleared coupons?

.

Wishing that this September is a super one in terms of personal goal attainment and good things for everyone. No super expensive surprises...just lovely summer produce, deals and fun. :icon_santa::ip:

It certainly feels like September but I do love sitting on the deck with the cooler air. I likely have another month or so until it’s too cold even with the fire place. I need some September goals. Just not sure what my focus is. I know I want to lose a bit of weight and work on my core strength because that will help with paddling. I want to use what we have on hand before stocking up for winter and my big thing is to go back to menu planning. This always falls apart in the summer. Getting that on track reduces the food waste and the dining out so that’s a good September objective.

I almost forgot to push 4 of my pc offers.Glad I did.!!! :) Too late for a friendly reminder I guess....:bawling:

I am and was so tired today.... :( :( :( I did a nap pf 2 hours after dinner and will go into bed after this post!"!!:top:
Today went ok....just happy to made it trought the day.....
Some of my things are started to resolve a little bit so less stress for me..and i dont need stress...who want stress in their life....lol
I went to my dentist appointment only to learn the dentist I had this day dont do roots canals..she dont like to do that...huh that is stupid...so she will talk about my case to the 2 others dentists there..I am supposed to get a call deadline tomorrow at lunch if they can do it.....fingers crossed really...i am tired....she will leave message on the machine since i am not here the days of the week(project life)
And she talked to me about the cost of a root canal..oh my god so much more expensive than I tought.... :( :( :( Because of the crown....duh

She did x rays x3 and did not charged me and she took my other dentist x rays...so it was 44$ today for the emergency appointement not 147$ like the secreatory had told me!!!! hahaha
She test it the pain on my teeth and no pain at all..that is so bizarre
the others teeths are very sensible... :( :( :(

After I went to my informatic-electronic supplier to repair the problem of my computer..The mouse problem who was stuck and not moving.....he find the problem..i did not do an update and other things so that was the reason.He did not charge me at least!!! :) Was happy abou that because my 2 years warrenty expired 20 days ago...i will cry.....otherwhise it is 60 $ per hour of work,.....eekkk

Computer is ok now ,very pleased about that as i need it for life project
The qr code on father cellphone work now..they mixed what brand of vaccine he receive on paper it is pphizer not moderna so the system did not recognize it...lol...
Monday labour day and a hollidays.i cannot wait

Wanted peachs at maxi but could not price match because they only carries nectarine so i purchased to remplaced 2 lbs of red plums fot 3,00$

So that was my day

I saw a coffee maker at wm for 14$ just what i need so i will go maybe friday or saturday when i will go pick up my free product at metro...I wonder if I can download the app in my i pod and have 2 free products with the same card or it is 1 offer per card....... that would be awesome ...but i think you need 2 accounts

alright time to check those pc offers and metro after that bed.....i have to get up at 6:30 am now..I will get use to it.

Just checked those pc offers..and they suck..nothing i will use.....and the 4 saved offers are not there so bizzare oh well at least I have 20$ in points to redeem

Good Morning Everyone,
I am already ready for my nap, it feels like this week has been a long one and it isn't over yet.

Since we were out of the system for over 6 hours on Tuesday I started my day at 5 am yesterday literally I had a staff member phoning me at 5:01 yesterday. I ended my day around 8 pm between catch up from the system being down, training sessions and a procedure revision that needed to be typed and sent out it was a long day.

Back up at 5 am today and at it again, I am seriously overwhelmed right now, there is a lot on my plate and I cannot keep up. I keep telling myself week after week, just get through this week and it will slow down but it does not slow down if anything it feels like more just keeps coming down the pipes.

I am torn, not sure if I should go to my boss, this is the hard part of my job. Right now I am overwhelmed with 6 trainees but in 3 months I could have none.

Mom did not go to the store yesterday and I did not stop on the way home, I was getting a headache and still had to send the procedure revision. This means I really need to go tonight, the sales are better for us this week but I just want to curl up in a corner and shut the world off for a little bit LOL. Oh well nice daydream but not reality so time to push on.

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone

Good morning everyone!!! :) Thanks god it is soon friday.
I am so mad:mad::mad::mad::bawling::yikes::rant::thumbs_do wn:....I checked laubainerie website for some t shirts in clearance and they dont carry my size anymore...wow...I purchased that size 2 year ago,it change fast....I want to benefit the sale me too,.I have just like 5 t shirts that fit me ... :( :( :(

I changed my purse to a bigger one and I need to find my others ones in my clutter.....grrr
Have a good day everyone!!! :)

Took a better look at the flyers and made a grocery list well I had some Breakfast.

I have a nice list, a lot of good stuff on sale this week only issue is, it is across 4 stores. My local store is hit and miss when it comes to PMing produce, there is another store that is better for PMing produce but kind of out of the way for shopping today.

I really want to do some Ingredient and Meal Prep this weekend so I want to get as much as I can today so it is here and ready to go for the weekend because I am also working this weekend.

I am thinking during lunch today I will start planning my to-do-list for the weekend and into next week. Right now it looks like these cooler temps are sticking around and I am super happy about this, makes getting stuff done so much easier. Not to mention it was so nice to just cook dinner last night and not have to worry about the heat. I am much more of a Spring/Fall girl.

Morning -i will have no internet at some point today as they are coming to replace my line underground (figure both neighbours are done but not mine)I tell you this has been the last 2 weeks of items in or around this house that are broken or need replaced or repaired.

Last 2 days of babysitting for me and hubby-mind you just me today as son wishes to take hubby to look at a few cars today .

Update,my lovely little cara doesnt have to go back to the kids hospital,the meds are working and she no longer has a fever.

@coupongirl that great news that Cara is feeling better

@coupongirl I am glad Cara is on the mend.
long week for me. I took Friday off, but made the mistake of looking at next weeks and yikes. My schedule is jam packed. I guess summer is over.
my FPC for Rice Krispies arrived (thanks @cath007 ) and I was able to order another. My coupon usage has dropped to almost nothing this year. We have few extreme couponers in our city so the tear pads are always cleared. I did find a few when I was at my mom’s local independent a few weeks ago. It’s maddening to buy something knowing there is a coupon for it but I don’t have it. Currently that’s me every time I buy cream cheese. I know I am not alone in my struggle.

Cath007 - st hubert is the best. seriously so yummy

i am doing the .. its thursday dance. ...

wrapped the gifts for the family that is leaving... , i hate wrapping...

i am loving the nice cool weather in the evenings.. so nice.

plan for the weekend.. is backyard.. hmmm. goals man, goals...lol

@coupongirl : so glad cara start to feel better!!! :) It must be a relief for you and your familly :)

Good late evening everyone!!! :) Well today did not go as planned to be...not at all...
First dentist receptionist will call me just wednesday when she was suppose to call today...because the dentist is on holliday or I dont know...so no anwser if they will make my root canal...grrr until wednesday so fingers crossed because i am just tired of this tooth:thumbs_down:Out of 3 dentists there 1 dont make root canal because oh sorry she dont like to do that..wow..and the other one is or will be on a maternity leave
2- The insurance sale person dont call me back even with the e-mail and the phone call was the voice mail..wow..so unprofessionnal...:thumbs_down:

Wrothe to laubainerie and the anwser : they removed _+ size in 2020 due to no sale being there..wow

Ordered 5 tee shirts online at old navy...( a bit more expensive even in clearance and sale)and darn taxes but as a first time costumer they emailed me a 30% off code and I had free shipping.That will take 7-9 days.I checked reitmans but my size and the variety was all cleared off...grrr:thumbs_down:
Same thing with old navy but with persistance after 30 minutes of research I found 5 that i like in my size.I would have love to have knew these clearances sales before,it is like everybody do shopping for fall at the same time hahaha.Per chance I had little bit of spare time tonight to order it because with the long week end ,i am sure it will be not more clearance sales t shirts in + size....:(

Made a great very fair trade,with a generous sc member.This is why I always return to sc for that.It is always hassle free in to date i had just a bad experiance with trading lol
Alright TGIF tomorrow and the long week end,i only realized today

Have a good evening and night!!! :)

Good morning everyone.

Needs to do a few chores around the house and then off to an appointment.

@SassyAshley : You are not alone to have some cravings I have some too...my it is sushis and poutine ho my

I think I am going to spend today doing errands and groceries and then go SUPing Saturday and Monday. I will appreciate having fun knowing my work is done. I have an amazing Joe Fresh offer of 15000 points WUS 40.00 so that’s on my list for the day. It’s all the tedious stuff that never gets done so now I am off to take care of it all. But 1st a load of laundry must go in. Happy Friday everyone.
