February Goals:

Have bedroom completely decluttered. Dressers/closet etc.
Continue eating from the freezer/cupboard.
Empty spare room.

That should keep us busy!

Question about Ensure coupons/ cheques. I posted in the coupon section but have received a response. Since these Ensures have my name on them does that mean someone else can’t use them? It’s been years since I’ve received these and can’t remember.

Good morning.

After work today Dh and I will finish our January financial review. Other than work there’s not much going on.

Have a great day everyone

I did see the other post you made about the Ensure coupons @harbie but much like you I have no clue anymore as it has been years since I've received any. Initially I signed up so I could pass them along to my Mom, but that ship has sailed. Hope someone on here knows if you can trade them?

These nasty bitter cold temps are sure helping me to stay thrifty. No going out usually means no spending.....unless I get the urge to " add to cart " online for something.

Good Morning! Good start to a new month! Frugal February!
Working from home today so already made my coffee. Breakfast will be oatmeal with almond milk and a banana.

Oldest DS stopped by last night and I filled up a bag of groceries for him. Yogurt, eggs, butter, loaf of bread, 2 peppers, coffee creamer and OJ.
Happy to have all that out of my fridge!

I didn't make it to the gym yesterday but I did shovel 80% of the driveway for a bit of fresh air and a stretch. I will hit the gym after I drop DS off at work tonight.

DS moved the futon out of the spare room yesterday so I can totally empty it now! Will move the Christmas wrap box under his bed.

Have a wonderful day!

Good Morning,
Getting all of the work things done this morning.

Yesterday I had to go into the branch to work with a new staff member, on the way I stopped at the Post Office and picked up my parcel, my new Countertop Cheese Grater came in. I was a little disappointed as it is on sale this week but I actually save more using free shipping on $25 then buying it on sale because to get it now I would have to spend $75 for free shipping, pay $12 in shipping or drive 45 minutes to an hour to get it.

I also ran into No Frills and grabbed Mushrooms as we were completely out, no idea how that happened. I checked for more Mini Cucumbers but they did not have any, oh well.

After work, I ran to Walmart and Dollarama and since I was in the area ran into Food Basics for Milk. I would never drive to Food Basics for just Milk but since I was in that area anyways.

At Dollarama I was looking for Cleaning Supplies. I have not had to buy Cleaning Supplies in so long but when I looked at the price recently WOW they have gone up in price. I have been watching sales but the sales seem very meh, $0.25 off a bottle. They were out of microfiber clothes, I wanted another pack, will check another location another day. I did get a Microfiber produce bag I want to try and some scrubbing brushes for some of my upcoming deep cleaning. I do not feel bad if I ruin a brush that came in a 3-pack and cost $1.25 for all three.

At Walmart I grabbed a Dishwasher and Washing Machine Cleaner, each pack came with 3 tabs in it so we are set for a while. I did not get a lot at Walmart but pretty much everything I grab was $10 so I quickly spent $50. I also got more oregano pills, Rolaids for Mom (these were on rollback for $3.97 so I grabbed her 2 bottles), and 2 of the 3-pack of Peppers that are on sale for $1.87.

I have some deep cleaning planned for this weekend.

Happy Wednesday

Lunch time finally! Starving. Bad habit of not stopping for lunch when working from home.

The snow is still lightly falling. Shoveled the driveway earlier so at least that is done.

Not cooking tonight- all on the go busy with work/activities so fend for yourself
