I am not too familliar with the MOI program.
We have 2 accounts, my father and I.
Last week I saw in a fb french couponning group I am a member that some people have an offer of 1000 (8$value) Moi Points at Jean Coutu (PJC) Or Brunet Pharmacy for purchasing anything.
Alas I did not check the accounts I just loaded the Metro offers.
But I kept that in mine.
So this week no such an offer like that for me but my father got the 1000 Moi point offer 1 for Métro (8,00$ value) 1 for Super C (8,00$ value) grocery .So yeah


I went first at Métro purchasing 1 x 4 pounds Navel Orange at 3,98$ and 1 x 4 pounds Cortland Apples at 3,98$(Saved from reg price 8,06$) .Make the 1000 Moi Points with a bonus of 75 Moi Points for the fruits. And my dad had already 300 Moi Points. ( So free after factoring the points for later)

I went after at Super C for 2 x 1 pound Strawberries at 1,88$ and 1 x Cantaloup (a big one) at 2,00$(Saved from reg price 10,21$ I think) =paid with the previous Moi Points from Métro. and oop was change.

And now I have a 14$ balance of Moi to use another time with sales.!!!

I will be more aware of those offers!!!

Maxi and Cie sale the same container of strawberries for 5,00$ this week....

I will make fruits bowls.

I don't get exceptional Moi offers, which is why I only load maybe 2-3 out of the ones that I'm offered each week.
@cath007 I was impressed with those high value Moi offers that you received. So smart of you to load them and
take advantage to earn enough Moi points to then cash out with!!
Also, those 2 large sushi basket deals you scored were unbelievable! My DS#2 would be jealous as he is our sushi lover.

Did anyone stay up to see the OT win the Leaf's had over Colorado? Yawn.....

I did......, sort of. Kept dozing off, then had to run the game back to see what I'd missed.
So much action. The air in Colorado is a challenge for the Leaf's. Short shifts was the plan but
often they got caught out there too long.
I think they ruined the Avalanche's win record at home ( 17 games? ) . Sorry, not sorry.

@cath007 - Great deal on your sushi treat! I know how expensive can be.
I'm not sure if that app is active in my area- I should take a look one day.

Last night I made 1 container of overnight oats for my breakfast today. (oatmeal mixed with chia seeds, Greek yogurt and almond milk) In the fridge overnight.
This morning I added almond milk and topped with walnuts and frozen raspberries. It was really good!

Morning! Wednesday already! The week is flying by.

Last night's dinner turned into a lazy plan....a PC Vegetable lasagna with ceasar salad. I did have to make the homemade dressing so I did that at least.
Tonight- another lazy dinner- Fish with fries (I'm going to make homemade fries from potatoes that were in our Flashfood box last week) I am really looking forward to fries .

Enjoying my coffee and getting work done. I really need to take a break and clean my office at some point today. I have a large shelf that is full of stuff...think I will move it all to my portable table and then I can go through everything and give is a good clean/organization. I can also pack some up 2025 in banking boxes.
Ok that is my plan after lunch today!

Enjoy the day!
