I ended up spending $60.19 in total, but didn't really stock up on anything. Had $19.12 in coupons and savings though. However that was not my best deal. Canadian Tire had a scratch and win promotion going on Saturday, with a minimum of $5 off your purchase. So we went in to get some oil for the lawn tractor that was on sale for $18. When the cashier scratched our ticket we had a $50 coupon. So we went and got a tool for cutting out holes in doors for the handles/locks, a bag of dog chews for Molly, 2 x 8 packs of toilet paper and the oil and it ended up costing us $9.74 for all of that. Then our friend gave us her coupon, so dh went and got the oil for the snowblower and that ended up costing him $1.64 as he had $5 off.
I also ended up buying Molly's dog food at the pet store this week, as that had $5 off which I have never seen before, so instead of costing just under $91, I paid just under $85. After all that running around I took dh to Timmies for a coffee and a muffin, so that cheered him up!!
This isn't the best photo but in the afternoon, we went to a garden centre and I bought a Primula and a parsley plant, the Primula adds a dash of Spring to the house and I'll pop it in the garden when it warms up:

We had wild weather, too. What great luck with the Cdn Tire scratch n' win!
You do so well with coupons, Gill. Yes, I was also thinking I needed a bit of Spring Flower colour to cheer us here. The snow is once again coming down lightly, but coming down.
What a great deal at the tire store!! Hope it warms up soon for you guys
We're getting wind here too! Has blown one of my container shrubs over...will soon go out to upright! Busy day for you with lots of savings! Excellent!
Chris took me to get me mop chopped yesterday...he took his computer and sat and worked!

Hello
Great bargains!
I love primulas they are so colourful.
It's was crazy windy here yesterday too...I did my running around and plan on staying in & warm today!! :) I've never seen my cats food on sale either... Seems like only cheap cat/dog food ever goes on sale!
Lots of lovely bargains, wel done. Amazing picture of the wind blowing the tree in your garden xxx
Way to go on the $50 off coupon!! I almost always get just the minimum offered!
Wow, great deal at Cdn Tire!! Heehee I was going to say something about there being a strange man in your backyard!!
That's quite the shopping spree! The wind has died down here...and the temperature has dropped off as well!
I really enjoyed your article. More power to you!
I do love seeing the pictures of Molly. My dear sister had a dog just like that, same name. Such a smart, well behaved dog.
We are getting the winter weather here, too (Alberta)just makes me want to curl up with a kitty and snooze.
Hope the hand is getting better.
Sometimes I think it does the guys good to have to see all the running we do...it is not like we do it for fun. At least I sure didn't. When I worked, I absolutely hated shopping, and not much better now. Except for quilt shops and for Christmas...those two I do enjoy.
Way to go on getting the $50! I would never be so lucky.
Nice deal in Canadian Tire store! We just got a scratch card from a local dealership (no purchase necessary). We got free movie tickets and free popcorn. We are looking for a minivan anyway, so it was a win-win for us!
