Tuesday was a short freebie day, because I took the afternoon off to go to a SmartCanucks.ca Meet'n Greet. It was so nice to meet some local coupon/freebie hunters, get some great tips and advice - and coupon share!
We had a nice turnout - last year they said there was just two. This time there were five of us - kerrylj, Ricki911, crazycoupongirl and her sister! I can't imagine what the other customer's in Country Style thought when we pulled out all of our coupons and started chatting! LOL
With all the great coupons I got, and several I forgotten I had, I went shopping!

No Frills had Egg Creations on sale for $1.00, and I discovered a whole pile of $1.00 off coupons in my coupon binder that I had forgotten about! So here's what I bought:
Egg Creations, 13 pkgs. - regular $2.99, sale $1.00, coupon $1.00 off - cost $0.00
Yoptimal yogurt, 1 tub - regular $3.79, sale $2.00, coupon $1.00 - cost $1.00

Original total - $60.82
