I haven’t been posting that many helpful hints or tips lately, so I’m going to post something right now to remedy that situation. After I posted about how I use a ‘cleaning calendar’ and will put in chores that most likely should be done more often than I actually do them – I came across an article which actually made a little bit of sense to me.

Stock You Fridge Something Like a Vending Machine

It sounds kooky, but when I [...]

Wow! What a weekend for the plants around my house! We spent the greater part of all weekend purchasing items and working around the yard. I should start by saying that god love her, Liz mowed the lawn Saturday while I was golfing .. what a nice surprise that was! She mentioned that it was due to the amount of work that I did on Friday evening around the house that she felt that it would be a nice break [...]

It’s been awhile since I posted a tip which I feel I will use on a regular basis, but this one is pretty self explanatory, you just have to look at the picture..

That’s a regular old jar lid and some plastic wrap to pop it out!

I wonder how many patty-makers are going to show up at garage sales now?

I wonder how many viewers out there purchased a hamburger patty maker at some point? Well I’m sure glad I decided [...]

So today was a really fun day, got up (around noon.. thanks for the poker game last night boys! You’d think I had some natural sleep aids or something the way I slept this weekend!) – and decided that since it was really nice out, we’d head back into town today to bring the beagles to the puppy park for a bit and then go in town to do some running around we didn’t get done yesterday.

One of the stores [...]

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of henderson bas. All opinions are 100% mine.

I don’t think I was ever taught ‘how’ to cook. I mean, no one ever spent any amount of time in the kitchen showing me how to do this and that. I can certainly however credit both of my parents whom are amazing cooks with allowing me utilize all the tricks, tools, recipes and knowledge that they had growing up – and I [...]

So we’re 10 days away from completing another month of spending only $200 on groceries. Not bad eh? I can tell you it’s a pretty great feeling when you’re only spending $50 from your paycheck every two weeks which goes against food. It kind of makes me wonder how many people out there have NO idea how much they’re spending on groceries monthly – I wonder how much useless stuff is in their cupboards just gathering dust?

Actually the amount of [...]

Yeah you read that right, I went shopping at Sobey’s last night and I now have 30 cans of assorted tomato paste (Hunts) and Sobeys’ actually paid me $2.30 to take it off their hands.

How did I do that? Easy.. with Air Miles.

Currently (until May 27th) they have a special when you buy 5 cans of Hunts Tomato Sauce, you get 25 Air Miles.  The 156ml cans of Hunts Tomato Paste go for $0.59 a piece, so in order to [...]

Did anyone else happen to catch the article (here) about how Islanders blocked traffic and caused a big problem for cars due to the sale on at Dairy Queen last week? Did you also happen to read the fact that the Dairy Queen in Charlottetown boasts the highest annual sales of any other in NORTH AMERICA?!?! Wow…

Anyhow, this is going to be the first of two VERY awesome food tips that I have for you this week. So if [...]

Well we are now on day 20 of our $200 food for a month experiment which you can read about here, basically we’ve budgeted ourselves $50 a week to eat for the month to see how we get along.

The amount of money that we’re now down to is around $14! This isn’t good.. or maybe it is. Liz isn’t as positive about this as I am, but the way I look at it – we have 10 days to [...]
