My deals this weekend! Can you say FREE!!

I am thinking that more and more people are using coupons these days! I went out to do my shopping this weekend and noticed that a lot of the items that were on sale and had coupons that one could increase their savings were gone! Example the Walmart that I went to was all out of the $1.48 Ziploc Evolve Sandwich Bags - so I am hoping they get more in before the sale is done (FYI when you use the right@home coupon B2 get $4 off would make them free).   But I did end up getting some great deals

1. Glade Sense and Spray (websaver coupon) FREE
2. Vector Cereal  (SAVE special deal coupon) FREE
3. 3 travel size St. Yves Facial Scrub ($1.00 tear pad coupon) FREE
4. Case of Diet Gingerale (courtesy of the nice woman I met last weekend) FREE
5. Asana yogurt (Facebook coupon) FREE

At the check out, the cashier told me that she had a lot of people using coupons this weekend! I think that is great, its all about saving where you can. Keep using those coupons, they are just like cash, would you throw out a $20 bill?

TALK TO OTHERS IN THE GROCERY LINE!

Yesterday I went shopping at the Real Canadian Super Store, and while in line I was checking out what others had in their shopping carts (I do this because I always want to share my coupons).  There was this woman behind me and she started to talk to me about the pop that I bought ($20 worth of Pepsi so I could get the $30 Gift Card from Presidents Choice).  I told her that I usually buy pop that is on sale, and then she pulled out and gave me TWO coupons for a free Ginger ale and a  C-plus (a case of TWELVE).  I was so shocked! Seriously, I thought that I could help her with savings and she pretty much handed me $10 worth of groceries for FREE! I found out that she is a brand manager for the products and she always likes to ask people about their drinking habits. 

When I got home I went to the Canada Dry website and checked things out.  I noticed right away something called DAILY GOODNESS, from what I can tell it's a calender that gives your great tips about the environment, saving money, getting healthy etc.. VERY Oprahish, but very cool indeed!

So the morale of this story, is when in line at the grocery story, look around and always smile you never know when a gift is heading your way! Not only did I get two cases of free pop, but a great website to check out on a weekly or a daily bases!

HERE ARE A FEW OF THE TIPS THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS ON THE WEBSITE:

How to find a place to volunteer
30 ways to use vinegar to replace household products
A video of a wedding proposal
Health and benefits of gardening
A printable organizer

Check out the site and enjoy all the great Daily Goodness it has to offer!

FLOWERS FOR MOTHERS DAY

I love my mom.  She is the best person in the whole entire world, and if I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for her. I know it's a cliche, but I really do mean it. My mom has been there for me, and although I don't need a special day to tell her that I love her, this year May 8th is the day to do something extra special for her.

Flowers are a great way to express how you feel.  I have found this great flower market in Toronto, that has AMAZING long lasting flowers at great prices.  Check it out.  For under $20.00 you can get the most beautiful display of flowers!

Kingston Road Flower Market

Toronto, M4E
