Give Me Back My Five Bucks

So a few weeks ago, I applied for a PT job at a grocery store that is just opening up by my work. I’ve never worked in a grocery store before, but I have about 7 or 8 years of retail experience in really fast-paced environments, so I knew I was capable of doing the job. I just wanted a few shifts per week, after work. Maybe 12 hrs/week. It was a way for me to get to know other people, because the money isn’t that great and I have a decent paying FT job. Anyway I just got a … Continue reading →

Yesterday BF had to work until 7pm, so I picked him up and we went to Superstore to do our weekly grocery shopping.

As long as there aren’t … Continue reading →

The subscription price is normally $20, which is still a fabulous deal. But $16 is better … and considering the newsstand price is $83.40, that’s a killer deal. The offer is good for Facebook community members in the US and Canada only. New orders only. After debating for about 5 minutes, I decided to buy a subscription. I am really excited. National Geographic has always been one of my favourite magazines, so how could I … Continue reading →

For those who were curious about IndiDenim, I signed up for their website, created jeans and then just kind of left it. Wanted to think about it some more. Today I got an e-mail with a $15 off coupon. So, just a little FYI for those who are contemplating a purchase. :) Also, here is a good review of IndiDenim. She even posted pictures of herself wearing the jeans.
