@harbie ty and yes! I was surprised that I had never heard about this stuff before. I can thank DS for showing me the actual bottle of liquor called Viniq . Gosh we searched everywhere
to buy that stuff, came in all sorts of colours too.

Discovered the Company that makes it went out of business and I didn't feel all that comfy buying any bottles of it floating around since they discontinued making it online from someone on E Bay.

That was when DS told me to just buy the powders ( or dust ) and do my own alcohol of choice. Our Easter get together s going to be so much extra fun now!!

dreaded double post is back for me

I am kind of confused, as I saw an article where Galen Weston said they received over 1000 increase notices in January and prices will just continue to rise.

But as I was shopping at Costco, I noticed some of Costco's prices have actually gone down. Not on eggs, dairy, oil, chicken but other products. I happen to be talking to a co-worker who used to work for Costco and they confirmed as they still have contacts at Costco, that yes, on some products prices are going down.

@SassyAshley I'm confused as well - and I'm avoiding Galen Weston's various businesses as much as possible! I noticed my local Fortinos is not anywhere as busy as it used to be. Same with Shoppers.

@coupongirl which site is leo survey? @walkonby that looks so cool. Great idea for mocktails

My local Shoppers is relocating, so lots of clearance items now. Picked up Dove body wash 354ml for $2, Softsoap hand soaps large $2, small $1 (cheaper than the dollar store).

Not saving PC offers, they are terrible. Instead of lowering prices, Galen Weston is touting the PC Mastercard in commercials.

And I can't believe the news of the Tim Hortons contest blunder! Telling people they won $10,000 only to say its a mistake and giving out $50 instead!!! I prefer my $1 McDonalds coffee. Makes me wonder if the roll up the rim contest is legit now that it is digital.

[SassyAshley]

@barbis9 , it is weird because in some ways I feel like PC knows they are losing customers by some of the deals they are sending out, especially for SDM. But last week I was in No Frills and pretty much all of the Naturally Imperfect Fruits and Vegetables have gone up $1, but still the cheaper option. Like carrots, even on sale, the Naturally Imperfect were cheaper.

Regarding Roll Up the Rim, I was looking at it yesterday as I swear someone told me now if you win a car, you actually only win a lease of 1 or 2 years and the option to buy out the lease. But I could not find any details on the website to confirm or deny this.

I rarely go to Tim's or McDonald's, I just carry all of my tea supplies with me and make myself at home no matter what location I am in. I used to pick up a Tim's on my way in but it adds up quickly if I am travelling a lot especially when they are all one-day trips.

Barbis -great deals at shoppers and sassy you are right i am going to shoppers less and less as my offers for 20 times the points are when i spent $70-90,not feasable for the both of us.So my p.c points are not accumulating as much,thanks to a few people who posted the no frills loadable cpns i was able to get about 8,000 points at no frills this week.

Good Morning! Sun is shining!! Will get out for a fresh walk by the water later today.

Dropped DS off at school for 8am and then came home and put a load of towels in the washer and cleaned one bathroom.

Made coffee and am going through my work email and getting ready for the work day.

Have a wonderful day!

[SassyAshley]

Good Morning Everyone,
Day 2 of Upgrade training, I shouldn't complain yesterday was only 3 hours but it feels so much longer, especially when you are in a session with 10+ people but no one but you is talking or answering questions.

There are a few sales I want to take advantage of this week, will need to go through my list and see what I can Price Match or how many stores I will need to go to. I have to admit I am a little worried as I noticed last week when I was in No Frills they have taken down the list of stores they will Price Match which makes me think a change is coming.

I noticed this week RCSS had some good deals but I am not sure when I will be in that area to shop. Will check No Frills and see what their prices are like on some of the items. Sometimes I find No Frills price is close to RCSS sale price which makes it worth not spending the $$$ on gas.

Has anyone tried the new Downy Rinse & Refresh, I see both Sobey's (Limiting to one per customer) and Metro have it on sale Super Cheap this week so tempted to try it. Normally I get my Fabric Softener from Costco as we only use Downy due to skin sensitivities. I tried just using Vinegar but Mom did not like it.

Happy Thursday Everyone.

Good morning everyone.

I actually find the only way I get PC points is through SDM. I did RCSS shop for $150 a few months back and all I got was 7500 points. That is NOT worth it and we have the elite pc Mastercard. Any personal point offers are a waste.

Today’s plan is a bit of laundry ( I sound like I’m living a Groundhog Day ), yoga class, a live run with my London coach, tidying up the kitchen and checking out the weeks flyers.

Made my hair appointment for end of April and the hotels booked. It’s a 5 hour drive each way so it’s a hair appointment and a mini vacation at the same time. Woo hoo, living a baller lifestyle here .

Laundry is waiting to be dried so have a great day everyone
