That was kinda of my thinking too - that from any video I've seen - there are SO many steps....and if it doesn't turn out - a lot of waste. I've never had any other brand than Tenderflake for puff pastry so I don't know if homemade even would taste better. I love phyllo too - and would NEVER consider making it either. Maybe I've answered my own question - lol.

Cally: welcome to our little corner of fun. For FPCs I have had my best luck at Sobeys and Metro during bonus air miles events. They still seem to give AM on the value before coupons applied.
I had a client meeting in another city today so left for work a bit later and was able to hang a load of laundry before I went. It's dried and put away. Now off to a lacrosse game, but we are the home team so a little less hectic today.Friends don't let real friends pay full price.

Going to a music concert (classical) tonight with hubby. We were given tickets Spent a good part of the day making three meals - one for my parents and another for tomorrow since I have to take my Mom to another medical appt. Still managing to keep our grocery costs to less than $500 per month for our family of four and the 8 meals I cook every month for my parents.

....and I gave up my paper route. Having trouble with tendonitis (I think) in one of my feet and so its time to slow down. Only made a pittance of .07 a paper anyway and starting to feel 'used'. This is less than minimum wage when I figure it out.

***Correction the Janes on sale at FB are not the ones you can use the coupon on oh well still a cheap dinner @$4.97 in reality 1.5 suppers .
Told dh to pickup 4 of the pork loin which he did but I thought they would be the huge ones that are normally 3 feet long but nope only 1.5 feet long so next time I will ask for more just incase but atleast they will still be fresh before the next sale .
Tomorrow's supper will be pork kabobs with rice along with veggies and dip.2019 is the year that we continue to save before we buy!!!

@cally welcome to the thread
Somethings are just not woth making homemade mind you I'm sure there is a big difference in the taste, have you looked on Pinterest for perhaps a more frugal recipe not using as much butter or not butter at all (using margarine, veg. oil, etc) if possible.
I often substitute margarine, veg. oil and sour cream when it calls for butter, it all gets eaten, I make notes in my recipes ie cook longer, too sweet, less spices, etc....
I think many of us can relate to being down to 1 income somewhere along the way, it's not easy but I think it makes us humble, just my 2 cents. We appreciate the small things more and have no choice but to get creative while meal planning, shopping for necessities, making priorities of what to spend our hard earned $ on.
Wishing you great success with the $ jars/baggies it is very easy to see what is left after each shop and plan accordingly.
As @lilo0003 said she prefers the airmiles promos while others like the point systems such as sdm. I would suggest perhaps try using 1 fpc at sdm when you have a small offer like spend $10 on food/snacks and test the system.2019 is the year that we continue to save before we buy!!!

I feel your pain! I also have tendonitis - and I'm actually in the beginning of a real bad flare up. I wore my flip flops (first mistake - broke golden rule to honour thy feet and wear proper footwear!) and then I missed my bus by 1 min and decided to walk the rest of the way home.....totally out did myself and am now paying for it. Hope it heals up quickly - I sometimes put hot than cold on it to bring down the burning/swollen feeling. And I know it hurts - but stretching it actually helps. Painful...but helps. Good luck!

Hi Cally. I like to redeem my coupons at Sobeys on their 10% off Tuesday. Their system takes 10% off the pre-coupon amount. So your FPC will be worth 10% towards the rest of your purchase. If you have FPC Stouffer's, then you might want to use it at No Frills in conjunction with a PC Plus points offer.

Good morning!
Last night did some catch-up shopping, just to fill in bits missing - milk, bread, buns; two bigger items - a ham and 10kg flour.
Will have to do some freezer clearing out soon - it had been not very full, so I was keeping old stuff on the bottom just for energy efficiency, but it's getting fuller so it's time to get rid of some of that old stuff!
Hope you all have a fab day - it's going to be hot here.

I am not ready for June either.
Hi @cally , glad to have you join us.
We are trying to save on groceries too. I am buying the minimal. We have had a couple of busy weeks, either entertaining or on the go (eating conveniently rather than frugally).
Last night we made english muffin pizzas, using up what was in the fridge and cupboards."There are more important things--friendship and bravery...."

New news for all those who have guessed, due date is mid-December. @coupongirl : November is way too early. I would have known much sooner, I think! My running days will soon be over, if not already. I can't handle the lower body pressure and my knees and hips are starting to feel pain in the bones. It was three pounds in the past few weeks!
@cally : Welcome!
