Dont forget to push your pc offers tonight!!!

[cath007]

for those who have dr oekter 2$ momenti pizza coupons starting tomorrow wal mart will have it for 2 for 5$ = sweet deal!!!

A quick another question (sorry lol) if they are on multi buy I and pm to maxi and cie does the pm price will be 2,50$ each or the multibuy price ..i need an answer before friday please and thank you
just not to familiar with pm provigo and wm multi buy ..first time i will try

[cath007]

I will have to inform myself if multibuy are price matched at the multi buy price or the other price and ask if we can get pc members price too when we price match provigo...

So the deal was too good so I went ahead at wm because I am sure maxi and cie would have given me hassle with this one

So Dr Oetker Momenti pizza reg :3,77$ each on multibuy for 2 for 5,00$ so 2,50$ each I bought 10 variated spinach,mozzarella and tomatoes ,pepperoni x10 pizza minus 10 x 2,00$ coupons from a great trade=0,50$ each!!!!

Cashier give me hard time on this one..first she said 1 coupon at all....and she did not apply the multibuy so I said to her nicely and corrected the mistake so 5,00$ for 10 pizzas lol

The better deal was weeks ago at super c clearance of spinach one at 2,00$ making them free but at this time i did not have the coupons

saved a chunk of money and good for lunch and quick snacks!!!

Well i returned items to old navy this morning ,then popped into giant tiger for a few specials and got my 3 pairs of ladies socks for 2.00 size 9-11 and they fit cause i bought them last year .

Then on to rexall to get my prescription ,pharmasist chatted with me for my yearly consult and said because i have high blood pressure i should be getting 30 minutes in each day of walking ,it kind of set me aback and no stress he said (that is easier said then done).So i am off to go on a walk now .

Coupon Girl, I hate it when someone says No Stress or Make Sure you are getting 8 hours of sleep.

I have zero control over my stress, life happens and sleep I try but as anyone who has sleep issues knows, easier said than done.

I went for a 17 minute walk ,that is a good start .

I just sold a toy i had for years 5.00.The other two no shows as of yet.

That is $83.00 total since august ,nice amount of change i think .

Good morning and TFIF!!

Have my 2nd batch of tomatoes in the oven for roasted tomato sauce. 3rd batch is ready to go in next.
Then it all goes into the freezer. We made dinner for the inlaws the other night with the 1st batch and we all really enjoyed it.
Will wash all the dishes and then the kitchen will be clean.

I stopped at WM after dropping DS off at school and grabbed 4 butter on sale. 3 are wrapped in the freezer and one in the fridge ready when needed. I wasn't taking a chance on not being able to get it this week. I will buy the limit at SDM this weekend too if they have it.
It was sold out everywhere last week when on sale here in my town....wonder if the pot harvesters bought it all getting ready to make their pot butter.

House is beautiful I from my cleaning spree yesterday. Now just tidying up as we go along and keep it this way. I have a plastic tower with drawers in my diningroom for my work stuff and then just put m y laptop on top at the end of my day so the room is clean and the table ready to sit at for a meal.

Have a fantastic day everyone!

Good Morning Everyone,
I had not intended do any grocery shopping this but when I looked at the flyers well I was tempted and went shopping last night. I am hopeful that there will not be a full out second wave (hopefully these Hot Spots in Ontario start to see numbers decrease) but I do find it is setting off my anxiety of do we have everyone on hand we need? I think not helping my anxiety is with working in a branch I am not at home a lot and when I am home I am exhausted so I feel like I do not have the time to take stock and prepare, so now I am panicking which is setting off my anxiety.

I got the following last night:
2 x 10lb Onions
1 x 10lb Carrots
12 x Mushroom Soup
4 x Pasta
2 x Perogies
2 x 6-pack Pop (1 Ginger Ale & 1 Dr Pepper)
4 x Butter (2 Unsalted, 2 Salted)
Okay yes, not all of this is emergency, like the Pop, this is a treat honestly we might drink 1 maybe 2 a month so we are stocked for awhile. Perogies were a treat but on sale for $1.50 so if we do get locked down again it would be a treat meal.

Now to the downside of my shop, I admit it, I was exhausted and my mind was in 500 different places last night and I forgot my mask, the girl at the door asked where my mask was and responded with opps I forgot I will have to go back to my car, no big deal or so I thought. But as I was grabbing my stuff to go back to the car, she got really rude that I was blocking the way and needed to move and I think said something about others remember their masks. I said I was going and being polite would be nice. I admit I felt bad and did apologize but yeah, it is what it is, Yes I forgot my mask but I did not give her hard time just said I would go back to my car and grab but also when she got rude I did not need to say anything back.

When I was checking out I was still flustered, doesn't take a lot these days and didn't check my receipt until I got home and realized she did not price match my butter so instead of speaking $12 on Butter, I spent $24. We tried to call the store but you cannot call a store directly you have to call head office which was no help, so Mom is going to go back today and either Price Match of return the Butter for me.

I have to be honest, I am starting to lose it mentally and emotionally. I know a HUGE factor is how overtired I am but also just seems like no matter what I do right now there is something I do not get done. I can work 14 hour days and 40 tasks done in a day but it seems like there is always that 1, I didn't get to or that someone forgot to send me that has to be done right now and I am cracking under the pressure. I just feel like no matter how hard I work right now I cannot get on top of everything and it is really really getting to me. I have I think 5 trainees that are getting no training because I am in the production plant but it just feels like I am failing and it is making me crack.

Now this weekend I have to deal with all the groceries I bought this week and I am sure I have more work to do, I have not even gotten to be me yet today but I needed a break, it has been a bad morning. I have had to physically walk away a few times because I was on the edge of losing it.

Hoping for a better afternoon, hope everyone has a wonderful day
