Dear Diary,
Even though I am away from home, I just couldn't resist telling you about this great deal from save.ca
And I couldn't resist signing up for this offer even though I probably almost have enough shampoo and hair conditioner to last a lifetime lol! You see I won a whole box of the stuff last year and also I have this tendency to stock up on the stuff when I'm able to combine coupons with a great sale. Afterall you never know when a war will break out and the stuff will be scarce. Maybe I'll be able to sell the stuff on the black market. Well at least I'll have the cleanest and shiniest hair in town.

Deals This Weekend
Dear Diary,
Here's a couple of deals you won't want to miss; at Black's you can get a Free 8x10 photo by printing off this coupon. This offer is available only until tomorrow but would make a great frugal Father's Day gift.
And Old Navy is having a sale TODAY ONLY and just for gals big and little; get rib knit tanks for only $2 with a limit of 5 per customer.
But if you want some summer tanks I'd get there early for better selection and to avoid long line-ups.

Shopping Deals
Dear Diary,
Just came back from shopping and must tell you about all the great deals I found! At Shoppers purchased aluminum foil on sale for 59 cents (sunday, monday only) and bought 2 Gillette Fusion Bonus packs which had 2 shaving gels and 1 fusion razor. Great thing about those is that they were selling for $6.99 but of course I had 2 $5 coupons off any Fusion razor. Coupons came from Save.ca and P&G Brandsaver. So for roughly $4 I got 4 shaving gels and 2 razors. Also at Shoppers bought 6 Cote D'or Chocolate Bars; 2 for $5 and used $5 in coupons.
No Frills had tide on sale for $7.97; bought 2 48 use Tides and used $2 in coupons. Also at NF Catelli Healthy Harvest Pasta 99 cents each; bought 4 and used $2 coupons so pasta for 49 cents, woo hoo!
Costco bought Soy Milk, mens underwear and Vector with coupons and bought dh shorts for $9.97; reduced from $17.99.
Just today alone I used $28 in coupons and it's all on stuff we use!

SDM Bonus Points with Gift Card Purchase
Dear Diary,
I've been busy being frugal so that's where I've been.
But just had to tell you about an awesome offer at Shoppers Drug Mart; buy $50 of selected gift cards Cineplex Entertainment, Vanilla Prepaid MasterCard, Cara Dining Card (Harvey’s, Montanas, Kelsey’s, Milestones & Swiss Chalet) and Chapters, Indigo, Coles Card and get 5000 Optimum points. Sad part is the offer ends today. ( Oh and by the way there is a charge on the prepaid MasterCard so you may want to avoid getting that one). I bought the Cara Dining Card for myself cause I know we will be using it in the near future. No one says you have to give these cards away as a gift. Hey if you know you're gonna use these cards that's an awesome deal so head on over to SDM before it's too late.

Going to the Dentist & Free Calcium
Dear Diary,
Just the other day I went to the dentist for a regular check-up and cleaning. Believe me this is not one of my favourite things, but it's nothing personal against my dentist. My dentist and his team do an excellent job and get you in and out pretty quick just the way I like it. Thankfully we have a dental plan so most procedures are covered. So overall it's a pretty frugal way to spend a half hour or so not that I enjoy it any better. But what I'm getting at is that at least with my dentist, I usually don't leave empty-handed. In fact just the other day I came home with a new toothbrush, a small tube of premium toothpaste and some dental floss thingys. And in the past I have picked up some coupons for premium toothpaste from his office, so be sure to check yours out for some great coupons. Oh and another thing, not sure if this applies to your dentist but mine has great up to date magazines to read which is another bonus. So all in all going to the dentist can be a good thing lol!
Oh and just found this on another frugal site; free trial of calcium supplements and if you're my age this might be a good thing! But ya better hurry; for all I know this could be gone as we speak.

I'm Almost Always Frugal
Dear Diary,
When I began this blog just a few months ago, I called myself 'Always Frugal' but when I thought about it hard enough I realized I was setting myself up for failure by using the word 'Always' on it's own.
And that's how 'Almost Always Frugal' was born. Let's face it you can't always be frugal. Sometimes life throws curve balls at you and you don't have the time nor energy to search hi and low for coupons or go to every grocery store in town for the best deals. And sometimes there are days when tossing the laundry in the dryer instead of hanging it on a clothesline is the only way that laundry is going to happen! I know all about those days and it's really okay to have those kinds of days. (Now today on the other hand was a good day cause two loads of laundry made it out to the clothes line and it feels great to be frugal today).
But some days I don't feel like being frugal cause I'm too tired or too sick or just plain don't want to be fff... frugal! And on those days I might buy something that I really don't need but I WANT IT! And I give in to temptation. But I've come to believe that's okay cause sometimes we need to reward ourselves for all our hard work just as long as we don't blow it all in one shot. And if you're frugal most of the time hey what the heck, enjoy! And for me Dear Diary, being 'Almost Always Frugal', is what it's all about.
Thanks for listening
