This week is a light shopping week. I was able to stock up on a lot of food last week, as there were some great sales that I was able to take advantage of. So the freezer is pretty full, and there wasn’t a lot that I needed this week. Even on weeks like this, I will still go through the flyers so that I don’t miss any deals. Here are some of the highlights for this week:

Antibiotic free chickens – BOGO free (works out to be $1.99/lb) . This was at Longos.

Tide: $3.00 – I price matched these at Walmart, and used a coupon ($3 of two Tide). So each one was $1.50. I think this one was advertised at No Frills. Continue reading →

I read a lot about saving money. Especially when it comes to meal planning – this is something I love to do, and I spend time looking up recipes and comparing notes with other moms.

One of the things that keeps coming up is how inexpensive groceries seem to be in the USA – specifically meat – I wonder how much I would spend if I lived across the border. Are the deals really that great? Is there a place where buying boneless, skinless chicken doesn’t cost a small fortune? Continue reading →

I was picking up my son yesterday from school, and I was sitting next to a grandma, who was also waiting for her two grandkids.  We got talking – she said that they had to hurry, because they had dance lessons after dinner, and wouldn’t be home until 8pm. “Sometimes my daughter listens to me, and I tell her it is too much”, she said. I could tell she didn’t agree with them being out so late on a school night, and she felt they were overscheduled. Continue reading →
