I Am Now A Centre-Fold....And I Went Shopping To Celebrate!

So, my article was published in Metro Calgary newspaper today! Super exciting and it looked amazing! If you missed the paper version, you can check it out by clicking here! This will also be a regular fixed post on the Media/Public Relations Tab. A huge thank you goes out to Jeremy Nolais, reporter for Metro Calgary, for an amazing experience!! And a big thank you to my hubby for picking up 23 copies for me this morning, and to my parents for taking a copy to my Grams, who is in hospital right now.




Found out today that Global TV wants to do a story on me as well, and they are coming to our house tomorrow, then following me to the Calgary Drop In Centre to do a massive donation. Should be fun--will keep y'all posted!

Did a bit of shopping, with minimal coupons used at Safeway today--I love their clearance racks!
Paid $10.88, saved about $38-$40, factoring in clearance vs. reg. prices and $1.00 in coupons!
 Until next time, y'all happy clipping!

Revamp In Progress

I am in the process of revamping my blog, not only the look of it, but the functionality of it. I want to make it clear, easy to use and fun to visit. I would love to have some input on what you all want to see--more or less of, what you think of the look and the content, etc. So let me know. I have put ads on my blog, in the hopes to increase traffic, and possibly profit.

Does everyone want to see more giveaways? Get the weekly coupon match-ups back? Let me know guys!

Happy clipping y'all!

Filming With Shaw




So, it has been a hectic week. Wednesday was the second part of filming with Shaw TV, which was an amazing experience. Did a shopping trip at London Drugs while being filmed--never easy--but fun, nonetheless. It is amazing all of the opportunities that have been coming at me lately, slightly overwhelming though. Just as I am wrapping up filming with Shaw, I get contacted by a reporter from Metro newspaper, who wants to do a story on me. So, I have already completed part one of that interview, and the last part will be done at our house tomorrow. Should be printed next week in not only the Calgary paper, but across country hopefully! And Shaw should be airing next week. So it's a big week!

Walmart Trip

So after my major health problems this week, including 2 emergency room visits which warranted 2 minor surgeries, a severe drug reaction, portable iv, and pain...., I decided to go to Walmart for a much deserved couponing trip! Took it slow, the store was hellishly busy, but found what I went for. And, I had an amazing cashier--that always makes such a huge difference--and she did awesome!

Walmart had some great sales this week, with or without coupons! Took advantage of a few of them, as you can see in the picture below!
