[coupon girl]

Just popped over to shoppers to get a few specials (chips ,dishsoap) stuck to my list.

Then into winners got my daughter a gift card for her new place ,some few items for in a small bag for her birthday -end of the month.I decided not to buy a birthday card as i have so many blank ones that are really nice and then i can personalize it myself.
Found winners has a good clearance on now ,i got sebastian 2 body glove wicking t-shirts for 5.00 -nice for hot days .

G-what province is your daughter moving too. Mine went away to Vancouver for first year and is still there with one semester to go-she loves it Good for you encouraging your daughter to follow her dreams-even if she is far away. For us Vancouver is about 1,000 km through the mountains-so about an 11 hr drive or a 1 hr flight-somehow we find a way to make it work. Of course had she gone to the East Coast it would have been a lot tougher. My friends daughter went all the way to S. Korea for first year-but since it is going to continue to be online due to Covid she is going to transfer back here for second. I am sure my friend is quite relieved.

she moved to Halifax.. a 20 h drive. i may have checked to see how much a plane ticket is...

@Giseledta visit her once and you will never want to come back to Ontario. I have an aunt and uncle that retired out there and then one of their kids followed. 2 yrs ago we flew my mom and kids out with us so 5 adult tickets and it was 2000.00 so one ticket would be ok once the Covid rates go away. My family does the drive back to Ontario twice a year. I am hopeful that next year DH and I can make the drive.

i mentioned that to my husband . lol. .. grab a really big uhaul... pack the house, pack oldest... stop pick up middle child, add thier stuff to the uhual... off we go ...lol

Good morning everyone!!! Not sure what the day will bring but a nap this afternoon will be on the menu
I was already avoiding wm since they dont pm anymore but another reason is I get told by a fb french couponning group that wm(at least on my city) only accept 1 coupon per person at all...wow.... ( dont know why maybe because people abusing and fraudulous printables.....)really hope the other stores will not follow...

I regret to not have bought more special k blueberries cereals when they where 3,99$ minus 2$ coupons in the websaver site (order by mail) my father eat his bowl of cereal every single morning and sometime as a snack..so down to 3 box.... but I am not sure dont want to stock to much maybe he will get tired of the cereal..


Have a good day!!!!

Good Morning Everyone,
Yesterday did not go as planned, I emptied the dishwasher did a little bit of tidying up in the kitchen and then went to take a break my foot was really aching it was over. All my ambition was gone, my body was done and yesterday just was not my day.

I did struggle with this a little yesterday since it was a nice cool day and I did not get a lot done but at the same time I am good with it. I just needed that break, between work and the basement flood I have been going none stop for weeks and I just needed a break.

Not sure of the plan for today yet, thinking maybe some time in the kitchen, I have stuff from our Costco shop I need to break down and need to clean out the fridge. Also would not mind cleaning out our freezer in the kitchen, it is a mess right now. I really want to set up a Smoothie Station in my freezer so on days I am going into branches and do not have time to eat before I leave I can whip up a smoothie to take with me.

We will see how far I get there is a lot to be done, I know I won't get it all done but we will see.

Have a great Sunday everyone.

Went out for dinner with my bestie last night then we went to visit our friend and her husband for a few hours. Sat out in the gazebo and had a good chat! Today we are all meeting at the beach at noon.
I dropped DS off at work and then wanted to grab some cantaloupe for the beach. They had the 3pk romaine hearts on for $1.97 and I pm'd the cantaloupe for $1.67 (FB) Bought 2 of each and received 4000 PC pts. Awesome deal!

They also had 375g of lean ground beef for $1. I bought 10. then decided to go back in and get another 10. All wrapped and in the freezer. I did forget about the $5 family packs I bought about 12 of a little while ago lol. So we are stocked up! Lots of chili, pasta sauce and tacos/taco salad! Should cover us the winter!!

Made a greek salad and cantaloupe for food for the beach. Going to make coffee now and then pack the beach bag. And grab my book that I am still trying to finish that I started in Mexico last Feb!!

Have a wonderful day everyone!
