Great products, Bargains and gift ideas
My husbands away for the weekend and I treated myself to a dinner out. Well I guess it wasn’t a dinner out, but a dinner in. I ordered my favorite chicken dinner.
I only wish that I would have been able to treat myself to a great desert. One that would have been good would have been chocolate covered strawberries. I love those! You can get them from this place if you click click here. They’re fabulous!
I’m totally stuffed after my dinner.
If you’re like me you’re always looking for deals and just about any way to save money while still getting the quality product that you want to purchase. Am I right?
It’s hard not to be like that when the economy has been so bad for the last few years. Even in good times it’s a good idea to watch for deals and to conserve your money.
I’m always watching for coupons online or in flyers that come to my door so that when I go out shopping I can use them to get the best deals. Likewise, I do the same when I shop online. If I know I’m shopping online at a particular store I often do a search for coupon codes to see if I can find some deals on the products that I’m looking to buy. I just recently came across a website that offers walmart coupons. I’m sure I’ll put those to use at some point in the near future.
Do you shop around for bargains and deals? Do you use coupons when you shop in stores or online? What else do you do to try to save money?
Well it’s that time of year again. The time of year when my house fills up with visitors. It must be summer. Our relatives and friends love visiting us so much that we must be great to stay with, perhaps we should open a Bed and Breakfast in the future?
Sometime next week, my husbands brother and his youngest son will be driving from Chicago to Ontario to see my husbands parents and then to stay with us in Toronto. Shortly after their Toronto visit my husband, his brother and our nephew will be driving to Brockville because our nephew is trying out for the NHL farm team there. Gosh I hope he makes it!
All in all it’s going to be a hectic week!
One nice thing to look forward to about my brother in laws visit is that he almost always brings gifts with him. When he called us the other day it was partly to tell us about his upcoming visit and partly to wish my husband a happy birthday. He said something about bringing my husband a bottle of his favorite alcohol and some morgan dollars that he’d recently purchased. I guess he’s been investing in coins.
The following week I believe one of my brothers is coming for a visit and then the next week my mother in law coming to stay with us for a few days. I don’t know our guest line up for August yet, but I’m fairly certain that we’ll have guests most every week. That’s just the way it seems to go around here.
Do you get a lot of house guests in the summer? Do you like it?
It’s really starting to look and feel like Spring here in Toronto. It reached 14 Celsius today (57.2 F) which is pretty warm for mid-March. I can’t wait until it’s officially Spring!
This weekend my husband and I are going to go to the Canada Blooms Show downtown. I haven’t been to that Gardening show for a few years now. I’m going to bring my camera and my video camera and I expect that I’ll have lots of material for my gardening blogs after a day long visit! I’m sure I’ll also manage to find a few new plants to buy as well, as I always do at these kind of shows. Even though my garden is pretty much jam packed with plants!
While we’re downtown we might visit the jewelry district to look at watches. My husbands watch stopped working a while ago and he’s always liked momentum watches so maybe we’ll find him a new watch too.
Are you as happy as I am that Spring is almost here?
Sunday seems to be our big shopping day lately. I’m not sure how it’s turned out that way, but that seems to be the day when we go out grocery shopping for the week ahead, and run around to any other stores to get things we need.
Other than buying groceries, Sunday doesn’t make all that sense when I think about it, because the stores close so much earlier … we’re always scrambling to get to all the stores that we need to get to before they close. Silly isn’t it. I guess we should do some of our shopping on Saturdays or other weekdays.
On top of shopping I also have to read some jack3d reviews for my nephew either later tonight or tomorrow. He’s a fitness nut and he wants me to check this stuff out.
I think tomorrow is shaping up to be a very busy day.
