Angela happy birthday to your twins and congrats on the win.

Well i have a date ,the consent forms were sent back .Thankfully my son dropped in and helped me send these forms (i would have never figured that out)..My dear son gave us a $ 60 gift card for kelseys ,so we will take the girls tonight for a treat.We have them overnight then we can drop them off at 9.00 to their school camp .

Ohh the date is Aug 28 th for my knee surgery .Getting close.

I am very annoying....
2 times since 2 months my milk is not good and with chunky lumps...
We take Quebon 4 liters bag.
So I will writhe again to Agropur....
But we will change the brand now for Natrel...

What is wrong....???

I am sure I preserve my milk in the fridge correctly....

At the price of the milk 7,98$ for a 4 liter bag it piss me out...

@coupon girl , good news on getting a date for surgery.

I swear medical forms and legal forms fall into the same category, they are all so confusing and it feels like they are trying to confuse you.

@cath007 , did both bags of milk come from the same store?

The reason I ask is a few years ago I had to stop buying Milk at one store as it turns out the store was not storing it correctly in the back and I had multiple bags that were bad. Did not matter which brand as we tried switching to brands but had the same issue so it was the store. This was confirmed once their Dairy Manager changed and oh no more bad milk.

You know it is bad when you go to return it and people around you are commenting that they have dealt with the same thing.

Today is our twins’ 10th birthday. I made chocolate chip waffles, bacon, and honey due melon for the family.

I entered our kids for the radio’s birthday corner contest. They won! I have entered the kids for years and this is their first win. They get a free DQ cake.

Congrats on the twins DQ cake win and Happy 10th Birthday to them. @Angela273

My baby nephew is doing well. My SIL’s blood pressure is still higher than they’d like, so they have not yet been released from hospital. They’re in the new children’s hospital in Saskatoon. They described their room as being like a hotel room, with a big futon that she finds more comfortable than the hospital bed. Private room with personal bathroom/shower, etc.

@SassyAshley:

Yes.
Same store,
Maxi and Cie

Today I purchased the same brand but at IGA so I guess I will see.....

[cath007]

On a more positive note.
I am happy to report that after asking where it was found in French ,I found the 0,50$ blue cow coupon but it was at Métro not like I taught it will be at Maxi and cie.

The Tear Pad was full too.

But ,no sign of the 0,50$ blue cow valid on select yogurt and the 1,00$ Saputo cheese coupon....

One person mentionned she had found the 0.50$ blue cow for selected yogurts in Maxi and my Maxi and Cie not have it ( I guess Maxi and Maxi and Cie is not the same store.....Not the first time when I see mention

of a coupon I want I am going to see in store and it is not there. Like the 2,00$ Old El Paso it was not there at my IGA like the others

persons mentionning.The 2,00$ Kellogs All Bran -Vector protein granola same thing .It was found at IGA but not mine....

That's strange... The 1,00$ Heinz Burger Mayonnaise same thing it was found at IGA but not in mine....??? How weird....

Today I saw in french Fb couponning group and english too that new batch of Tears Pads in English for now I hope in French later will be released and

they are some good ones like 2,00$ Vector-Special K cereals,1,00$ Becel margarine and others ones too.I will chase them when they will be out.

All my foster kittens except for one, eyes are open. I'm lucky as everything has gone well with my first pregnant foster.

Humidity has gone for now, can finally breath and enjoy summer.

Have a great long weekend everyone!
