@SassyAshley what kind of creamer does Costco carry. I love flavoured cream and drink coffee daily. I am going this weekend as my kids are back to eating jumbo hot dogs and Schieders are on sale for a double pack at only 2.00 more than a single at No Frills and they will freeze.

Not sure your deal but FB has jumbo on for $2.97 and there is a coupon out buy 3 save $4

Posted the Pepsi and Coke summer contests in our Contests subforum. Yes, I'm playing the Pepsi one already-weekly $22K grand prize draw would help with some needs this summer!

Some Yellow Capped Pepsi bottles are surfacing in Dollarama's pop coolers (591ml bottles). I have not checked grocery stores except one Fortinos for packaged bottles with contest wrap yet.

@lilo0003 it is the international delight, I think it is French Vanilla, it is the purple bottle.

I have to be honest I thought she was drinking more coffee because I got a great deal on the Starbucks Coffee Cream and got her Caramel Macchiato, her favourite. But she said she likes it but still prefers the International Delight.

Good Morning Everyone,
Up early and out of the house.

I had to run to Wal-Mart, Mom loved the "winter slippers" I got her but the "Summer Slippers were a bit too big, she walked out of them, so I returned those and they still had a size down in stock so I grabbed those. They did have some they did not have last time but they soles did not have a lot of cushion to them so grabbed the same ones I bought before.

Well I was there I also grabbed:
1 x Oil of Olay $8.97
1 x Crispy Rice Cereal (Wal-Mart's version of Rice Krispies) $2.97
1 x Great Value Peanut Butter 1kg $3.49
2 x Raspberries $1.67
1 x Slippers $9

They were out of the Blackberries that are one sale.

I was at Wal-Mart at 7 am when they opened and out by 7:30.

Then I went to No Frills, again was there when they opened at 8 and ou by 8:30, I got:
2 x Broccoli $0.99
3 x Mushrooms $0.99
2 x Mangos $0.99
1 x Strawberries $1.99 (PM Freshco)
4 x Yogurt $2.50 WUB 2 or more
1 x Milk $4.49
1 x Breyers Vanilla Ice Cream $2.99 (PM Zehrs)

They did have any of the Cranberry Oat bread, I wanted more it makes for a great breakfast on the go so I might pop back in later in the week. Also there were a few things that are cheaper at RCSS so I skipped those and will grab since I will be working near RCSS at some point next week.

Now it is time to prep for the week. I just heated up a leftover waffle for breakfast and now I have a tray of bacon in the oven cooking up.

Happy Saturday Everyone

Good morning ( or afternoon for you easterners). Been up since 5 like usual. Planning on a quiet day of laundry and some light dusting since our air purifier is working so great.

Found out yesterday that our Dr. is retiring . It sucks because he is the second dr I’ve had that was actually good (actually amazing) I’ve had 7 dr.s I can count since I was a teen so this stings. I always said that if I had been with my previous dr when I was diagnosed with cancer my outcome would have been completely different and not in a good way. It’s not all doom and gloom since the office is a teaching office he has a replacement dr. Guess it could be worse. Hopefully this guy is even half as good as dr. Myers.

The weather is not looking promising (like it’s been all the time out west ) so just a walk in before the possible rain and then I’ll have to get back on the bike. I’ve been neglecting the bike but doing other workouts but it’s time to get back on the bike.

Oh ya, I need to do a grocery list for a few odds and sods.

Have a great weekend

It started thundering and rained briefly at 8am. We are under an extreme heat advisory for the weekend. Dh left by 9am. I took the kids for a bike ride to a large indoor garage sale at 10Am. Ds bought two new fidget spinners for $2. Twin girl bought a bag of little dolls and princess figurines for $1. She also bought a bracelet for $1 and was given a necklace that needs a new clasp. It was already got when we hot home at 11:20. It’s only supposed to get down to 20C tonight.

The teacher that I was in for this week returned to the classroom a day early. I received a 6am phone call to teach 1hr away on Friday, so I still managed to teach all 5 days this week.

I received a phone call after school on Thursday. It was an offer to interview for a continuing teaching contract in another school division. I’ll be driving out and interviewing on Thursday. I certainly need to prepare for it, as it’s not courses that I have taught recently, but it is one of my teaching areas.

Our kids are feeling under the weather, hopefully they feel better soon and I don’t catch it from them.

@Angela273:absolutely love your bike riding with yours kids !!! You remind me that I have my bike in the locker that I have purchased maybe 5 years ago second hand to check and do maintenance if I want to do little biking in my city t his summer..
But with stress and crisis of panicking it is not easy...
If not I will have to search for another second hand bike..I know the tires are flat,need a protective case and a locker to protect it from getting stealing!!!

@cath007 if it is popsicle molds you are looking for, check your local dollar stores, ours normally have them. Not sure if you have Dollarama or Dollar Tree in Quebec.

Or other option would be to use small disposable cups on a cookie sheet with a popsicle in them.

Yes, we have been lucky lately some stores have starting putting milk on sale again. When I can get it on sale I stock up and stock the freezer up, I try to keep 3 bags in the freezer.

[cath007]

Wow I did not know milk freeze @SassyAshley .That is a good fact to know.
I will check my dollorama for popsicles molds,thanks for the tips and suggestions
