I was in Port Pelee this past weekend.  Canada’s most southern tip…the take off and returning point of most of our  birds.  Awesome!  And, always full of birders.  As a matter of fact, I have decided to take up simple birdwatching myself. Read the rest of this entry »

Bread

Awhile back we told you about a great bargain for lowering your milk bill. Today we want to let you in a little known secret for bread. In Toronto at No Frills, Thursday morning is when all the new bread arrives. At that time there are huge reductions and most good breads have their prices lowered to 59 cents.

That is bread that is regularly priced at $2.59, the whole grains. We have not determined if this is for every No Frills in Toronto, or just certain stores, but it is a bargain worth checking out. We have a shopper who found this bargain at the store on Coxwell Ave.

We usually buy our bread in bulk at a Monte Mart bakery where we spend $1.45 for large brown loaves and freeze them. This is also a good bargain, but not nearly as good as the No Frills.

Did you know that the most important gift you can give someone is your time?

I don’t know about you, but I love it when someone takes the time to make something for me. Gifts from the heart can be the most memorable.

You are not a crafter? No problem. There are hundreds of ways to give. Make a fuss on a special occasion and make a lovely dinner. Spend some time doing what they enjoy such as: listen to their music; go for a walk; play a game; watch their favourite show; do some of their chores.

The sky is the limit here. I received a coupon book from my son when he was small. Each coupon was for one job he would do for me. It was a very nice thought, and, see, I still remember it.
