Shopping Deals May 30, 2013!

Greetings Saavy Shoppers,

I'm looking forward to picking up some cleaning supplies this week! Saw a good deal on Mr. Clean products at Walmart. It would be a great way to kick off some spring cleaning around here by getting some great deals on supplies! I see that No Frills is repeating most of their $1 sales again, they seem to always continue the deals the week after I noticed. I'm glad to see that sugar and ketchup is on sale too! We're running super low on these. If you haven't had a chance yet to pick up the cheap Dove soap, you'll be able to this week! 

On another note, did you guys notice how green the pineapples were from last week's sale? I was in a rush to eat them since I love pineapple, but hate the unripen/soury taste. Here's a tip! Once you've removed the skin from the pineapple, chop in desired pieces and throw them in the frying pan on medium heat for a few minutes. You'll see they turn a bit darker yellow in colour, throw on some cinnamon and voila! Tasty, healthy pineapple treat everyone's going to love! Optional, if you have some coconut milk, let the pineapple marinate and absorb the tasty sweet flavours and then fry. Grilling works too! Enjoy!

Good Afternoon!

I had a very good shopping trip last night. No problems, nothing! There were out of some of the sale items but it wasn't a total loss. I learned that Rabba no longer takes Save.ca coupons or at least the free Gay Lea butter coupon. I was also able to pick up a pretty good deal on Huggies for $14.99 for 72 diapers sized 2 at Shoppers. I'm not sure if they were on clearance or what not but I needed them to make a second diaper tricycle for another baby shower I'm going to in June. I'll post pictures of those after I make them. Let's see what I picked up at Dufferin Mall last night!

Hi Guys!

I just firstly wanted to say if you haven't tried batch cooking... DO IT! It's such a time saver! If your like me and you are all groggy and slow in the mornings, batch cooking is like the lazy girl's way to saving money! I've been doing a bit of it here and there but lately I've been more on top of my cooking! Last weekend in my spare time I baked about a couple dozen oatmeal chocolate chip muffins, froze them and thawed one or two (they're small) for immediate consumption the morning of. I shouldn't say thawed, but more like slowly rebaked while I was getting ready for work. I've also been making larger portions of certain dinners when I can and packaging the extra as lunch for the next day. I know it can be tedious to be eating the same thing twice in a row, so that's why I still bring sandwiches. Being in a condo, freezer space is tight but if you have the space and you can batch cook a bunch of different items you won't get bored of, you should definitely try it! Maybe even swap some food with friends! I once made frozen lasagna, portioned into single servings for times when I ran out of sandwich stuff and it really saved my butt! I even have mini single bite whole wheat banana breads ready to go for snacks when I get a craving. Try it and let me know how it works for you!

Quite a few good deals this week! I'm mostly looking forward to the $1 sale at No Frills and all
 the fruit items on sale. I love fruit! Especially, when I buy too much and they are super ripe and about to go bad I freeze them. Like bananas, they're great for smoothies or banana bread! Ok, go see what's going on this week and happy hunting!

Hi Guys,

I got a few good deals this week at the No Frills on Front Street! I'm out of tissue paper and I'm dying for it to hit $2.99, so I can use my $1 coupons and stock up! Allergies have been killing me the last few weeks with all the running noses and itchy eyes! Ugh, Pollen! I'm trying to be strong and avoid allergy medicine. On another note, I also found it weird that this No Frills is so different than the Dufferin Mall No Frills. They didn't carry any bagged chicken legs! I guess they totally market it up to a more fancier young market that lives downtown, where as Dufferin Mall caters to regular families on a budget.

Oh, for the first time last night I had a male cashier! And wow, he was good! Fast with the coupons and price matching and gave me no problems at all! Too bad I don't shop there often though, I've had a problem there before when they told me they decided not to price match that week. Geez! Ok, let's see the goods!

- Tostitos pm'd Frescho $1.77

- Royale Tissue 6pk $3.97 - $1 from GoCoupons

- Superfries $2.47

- 2 X Crest Pro Health Rinse pm'd Shoppers for $4.99 each - $1 each from Brandsaver (Thanks, Steph!)

 - Tostitos Nacho Cheese pm'd Frescho $1.77

- 2 Clubhouse spices $2.97 each - $2 each from Checkout51. What a great deal! 

- Catelli Smart Pasta $1.47 - FREE coupon that was mailed, I forget where from

- Iogo yogurt $6.49 - $0.75 from GoCoupons

- Royal Gala apples $0.97/lb 

- Bananas $0.57/lb

- 2 X Raspberries $1.97 each

Morning, Blog Readers!

As you can see from the list below there isn't much going on this week! I'm looking forward to grabbing some new spices for cheap, a huge watermelon, and stuff to make nachos. With the long weekend ahead, I won't be able to make our Monday night grocery trips so it looks like another week of shopping on Tuesday or Wednesday! Oh fyi, aluminum foil is on sale for like 50 cents this week. I forgot to write it down, since I'm going to be passing on it. It's 50 cents off $1 and you can get the rebate from Checkout51!

Hope you guys have a great long weekend!

Shopping Trip May 15, 2013!

Hi Friends,

Wasn't too bad a shopping trip last night! Got a few things we needed to get by during the week and not much more. Looking ahead to this week's shopping deals aren't that great, savings and coupon wise. I'll post that up soon! Let's see what I bought at No Frills and Walmart last night! I love how Dufferin mall has them both! It's so awesome when one place runs out of sale items to be able to walk over to the other store and grab them.

- Activia Yogurt $3.97 each pm'd with Walmart and had $1 coupons (GoCoupons) I don't think I'll be buying the zero fat or sugar version that the coupon makes you buy. It tastes kinda weird to me and I'm not on a diet so I want things to taste yummy! 

- Campbell's condensed soups $.67 each

- Egg Whites $2.49 with $1 coupon (Websaver)

- Bananas $.45/lb 

- Royal Gala apples pm'd with Freshco $1/lb

- Bosc pears pm'd Frecho $1/lb

- Crush Cream Soda $1

- Strawberries $1.44 each

Good Afternoon, Deal Hunters!

I got an amazing score last night! Only downside was the cashier was extra slow, but she didn't care about my use of coupons and a few price matching so then again that could of been a good thing. The couple behind didn't seem too impressed. I also didn't list the chicken breasts that were on sale at No Frills, since they had a note on the online flyer saying it won't be available this week. But to my surprise, there it was and plentifully stocked. I'm surprised I didn't use any Checkout51 this week, their deals have kind of been slacking. Here are my deals from Walmart and No Frills this week!
