Not sure where my head has been at this past week. Typically we go to one of our parents for Easter, so when Saturday hit, I realized "I" had to cook dinner this year. I also forgot my husband has sales training this week in Vancouver, so he won't be home till dinner time on Tuesday. So, basically my meal planning for the week needed to be juggled around. Here's what it looks like now:
Saturday - Rosemary Chicken Bake with Roasted Veggies
Sunday - Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Honey Carrots and Pie!
Tuesday - Soup Night - Beer, Bacon and Cheese Soup
Wednesday - Fish Night - Seasame Crusted Salmon, Quinoa and Peas
Thursday - Taco Night
Friday - Red Meat Night - Spagetti
Saturday - BBQ Night - Hotdogs and Potato Salad (Next Week)
Almost no mail this week, however I would like to mention March was AWESOME for freebies! Not only did I get some coupon related freebies (like my free Schik razor) I also got the following:
-Free Boots from livingsocial.com (3 other people bought my deal - via my link, so I got them for FREE!)
- Free $10 amazon.ca giftcard from Superpoints.ca.
-Free $10 Chapter's card thanks to Tammy from UPCSavings.com. Everyone had to take a guess on how much she spent on 3 items. I came the closest and won.
-Free windowpane that I am making into a frame for pictures
-Free TOMS - I entered a contest with a local shop here called Unika and won their monthly draw!

Somehow the lady at the till the day I went got super mixed up. I went in for a mop and she rang it in with my coupon, however only to discover it wasn't the right one and they didn't have the one that was on sale. So i told the cashier I didn't want it. Well instead of adding the coupon back she - it again! I didn't look at my receipt till I got home and then realized my bill was $6.00 less than it should have been. What a mix-up!
