Happy Spring!

Spring!

It's a rainy, gloomy day here - but, it's melting the snow so I'm happy :) Finally. Although, we got off pretty easy this winter here in PG. I think that climate change is really starting to accelerate. It's a scary thought - what's the world going to be like for my son, and his children should he have any? And their children? What are we setting up for them besides RESPs? I don't even want to think about it. I'll just continue reducing our household waste, gardening, recycling/composting and mending our clothes.

My meal planning has really helped in reducing food waste (and our grocery bill!) Going in with a plan has been a huge benefit - and it makes me feel good. I usually sit down Thursday evening with all the flyers and my weekly plan template. Then, building on what I already have on hand, I pick through the sales and there we go! Meat's so expensive these days, so I try to buy it only when it's on sale and then I portion it out for freezing. A good Costco run everyone month/two months is worth it, as long as you know you're prices. Apparently Save On Foods now Ad Matches, so I'm pretty excited about that. We normally go into town to Superstore (which is a 20 min drive) because their deals make it worth it. Save On is not even 5 minutes away!

Well, off to work I go. I'm tossing some ideas around for a proper business plan - thinking big over here!
