Lots of pink stickers this week, great deals on the meat for sure. Groceries are our highest bill each month even with just the two of us and one dog. Maple is a cutie! Have a great rest of your week Lindsay.

Great haul! love those pink stickers. I also love Chapman's ice cream I will have to look out for that coffee chip flavour. We were in dollar store today and saw those coconut chocolate bars too-first time noticing them. We bought them 2 for a dollar but they didn't come in a bag like yours-they were individual bars-quite large. Girls are so cute with their Barbie waterpark!!! Seems like all of you are enjoying your summer

Yay for no broken eggs this week 😂. Fun hunt for the kids to find the pink stickers at the Superstore !

What a great grocery trip! Have you thought about introducing more beans to your family? Beans(season them) and jiffy corn bread, fried potatoes a good choice. Pinto beans topped with cheese for quesadillas etc.. generally a very affordable dinner time meal for feeding your family. Also, there are some great lentils recipes served over rice or couscous (the Near East brand the best but kinda on the high side)

Wow Lindsay, you had a great grocery haul this week, I can't believe how many 50% off coupons you and Audrey found, great job. It makes it a little easier to shop when you find good deals. We have been putting off groceries till our pensions come in, I was happy to find that mine came in today, yay, LOL we can eat again, but first I'll pay my portion of the rent. It's hard getting used to living on pensions alone, rather than a paycheck and my pension, but we will figure it out now that the husband is retired. I'm glad you were able to get some crayons for the kids, especially after that lady took so many of them, I always feel like when there is a good deal it's best to leave some for others to take. That coffee chip ice-cream sounds yummy, you'll have to let us know how it is. Oh and how fun for you all to get to have Maple for a visit, she looks like a beautiful dog. Thanks for sharing your haul and of course your beautiful family with us, I always love seeing the happy little faces of the kids. Have a great rest of your week!

@@TheMtggrl thanks, Tania. The discount stickers help offset the cost. I'm sure its an adjustment getting used to your new income, but I'm sure you'll adjust after a while. I remember when me and Dave first got married and he would get laid off every winter... We always had to have a few thousand dollars put away as our "lay off fund"... Things were harder back then. Maple is a sweet dog, she's very similar to my mom's dog, Sadie. The kids love when we dog sit. Emily was actually looking at her picture of Daisy yesterday and said "I miss Daisy, I wish she'd come home".😕Made me sad. I hope you're having a wonderful week! It's so hot and humid here!

How does the deposit on the canned drinks work? Do you take the empty cans back to the same store where you bought them, or is there some other central location they get returned to? And how do you get your deposit back?
@mominthemaritimes2 ай бұрын
@@alisondavidow1721 there is a recycling depot where we can take them. We usually count them before we go and they give you 5 cents back per can. They give you cash before you leave.
