Mother's Day Fun

Julie B sent me this really awesome idea for Mother's Day involving M&M's: you pick one and depending on the colour, it gives you a question to ask the other person. However, I don't know how to upload a pdf to the blog. So, if you want it, send me an e-mail and I'll forward it on.

To Give Away

I have a dishwasher that needs a new home. Kenmore, white, well taken care of. Works fine. Just been replaced with a newer model. Call JoAnn if interested. 403 346 8328

His Grace is Sufficient

I read this the other day and think it's too good not to share.
It explained grace in a way that I can understand and hope that it helps you too.

JoAnn's Grocery pick for the week

Hi All. This week at NoFrills is a continuation of last week's sale. It's a good one. Here's a few of the things I think are worth the drive.

Cantaloupe $1.88 ea

broccoli $.88/bunch

Cauliflower $1.88 ea

Romaine hearts $1.88/3pk

tomatoes $.88/lb

Boneless pork loin (says slices into chops, but remember this is BONELESS, so I plan to take those slices and freeze them separately to use for a quick stir fry meat.) $1.88/lb

Pork side ribs $1.88/lb Good for ribs, but I'm not a fan of paying for a bunch of bones when I can get ZERO bones for the same price.

Silani cheese blocks $3.88/500g bars!!! Provolone, cheddar and mozza. They didn't have any last week, hopefully they will this week. It's not a regular item, so cross your fingers.

Unico kidney beans, and others as well $.88/540mL cans

Quaker oats $1.88/1Kg bag

Old El Paso taco seasoning mixes or Club House gravy mixes $.88 (Not too bad)

Pizza pops $1.88/box of 4

McCain Ultra Thin pizza $2.88

General Mills cereal (oatmeal crisp, Fibre 1) $2.88

Glade air fresheners $.88

Arm and Hammer liquid laundry detergent $3.88 for an 80 load jug. I've tried this detergent and I really like it. The last time I bought it at Superstore, it was $4.95 and that was on sale. This is a great deal.

Safeway

Strawberries 3 lbs/$4.99 That's $1.67/lb

Cheez Whiz $4.99

Oranges $4.99/10lb box

Sobeys

All 3 items listed for their 3 day sale (Fri, Sat,Sun) are good buys:

Boneless pork loin chops or roast $2/lb If you will note, this is a bit more than at NoFrills above, but if you can't get out there, or don't want to, this is a great price. It also says that you can get the roast as well as the chops, so if you prefer the roast, you have an option.

head lettuce $.77

Large eggs $2/doz Is limited to 2 though, so don't wait too long.

For the rest of the week, here's what I thought was noteworthy.

mushrooms, white or brown $2./lb Not spectacular, but is okay

grape tomatoes $2/clamshell

mini cukes $2/pack of 6

Sour cream $2/500mL

Signal frozen veggies $2.79/lKg bag

Kraft bbq sauce $.99 (Does this mean that winter is over??)
