Guilty !

The adventure at big C ( 2 days ago ) was not overwhelming financially. I am guilty of tossing 3# of almonds into the buggy , right at the end. Total damage, 156 dollars. In my defence though, the bedsheets were $60 by themselves and we needed laundry liquid. I couldn't decide which was bigger the toilet paper bundle ( 50 rolls ) or M. I decided either answer was trouble so let it slide.

At checkout the ' bagger lady ' or item sorter which is really what she does, no bags at big C, remember, replied she spends $ 4- 5 hundred when she is a customer at big C.

We bought the Executive package, which costs more, than regular membership. Sympatico news did an article on ' exec cards ' at big C.
To justify using the Ex-card, $ 400 / month was the breakeven point. But with ' Ex-card ' benefits for travel and discounts, you could get by with less groceries. You noticed that ' bagger lady 'wouldn't have any trouble justifying the 'Ex-card.

The article did note that b/c big C still offers the 'Ex-card ' w/ the money back guarantee ( if your rebates don't equal the difference between 'reg' and 'Ex-card, they refund that difference ), so right now its probably a no - brainer.

Sadly, I missed out on perogies at the ' we will feed you stand ' at big C. the perogies were not brown enough and I hovered around that stand for a good 5 minutes. Readily available though was extra fibre cereal, nope, slipped right past that puppy. 

I watched a buggy roll up to the checkout by itself at big C. Surprise there was a person pushing the buggy. Holey - kamoley, Batman, that was $ 400 , no sweat .

Our Mayor , goes to court, next week. the charge is improper campaign financing. If guilty, he could be removed from office. in the Torstar to-day, a headline reads " Integrity commissioner warned Ford about contributions from lobby groups ". Good old Rob is chuckling this one off. Rumour has it he couldn't get re-elected at this time.

Now, if you're American, you'd chuckle at the amount b/c I think its $ 3 K, total. Yep, we are criminals are on a much lower budget up here.
