Boxing Week - I Love It!
Welcome back!
Boxing day, which has now been expanded to Boxing Week in most areas, is truly a frugal gal’s dream. In fact I was very happy to get many gift cards for Christmas this year and immediately upon receiving them knew they’d be used during boxing week. Of course, I already knew I’d be hitting the mall on boxing day and boxing week depending on when the best sales were happening. Unfortunately, I slept in a little bit too long on boxing day, and so many of the good items were sold out by the time I got to the stores (and boy were the stores busy)! However, I have a big list of the best sales that are going on in my area and will continue to shop throughougt boxing week.
While many people don’t like to do boxing week shopping, as the crowds can be quite large, if have specific deals in mind it can be totally worth it. Personally I think the key is to have a good attitude and keep expectations low as to not be overly disappointed if the items you most desire are sold out before you arrive. So, happy shopping!

If you like this then please subscribe to the Sis And I Did A “Swap Day”
My sister called a few days ago and while chatting she told me of her plans to organize her house and start preparing to part with any items she no longer uses. Noting that my own home could use such organization as well, I told her I would be doing the same thing. My sis then came up with a great idea - before she donated or discarded any of her unwanted items, I could go through them and take anything I wanted. Of course, in return I would allow her to do the same with my items.
Well, after we both managed to complete our organization tasks, we got together and started to go through the unneeded items. It became quite a little fun “treasure hunt” for both of us, and we actually both ended up with a few things that we wanted. On my part I received a fondue set (my sis had two) and a few clothing items, while my sister took a bunch of shoes that I no longer wear. It worked out great for both of us, so it might be something that some of you would like to try as well!
A Contest For Coffee Lovers
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of NESCAFE. All opinions are 100% mine.
There are few things as satisfying as the smell and taste of the day’s first cup of coffee. And heck, the second, third and fourth cups aren’t too bad either! However, it can be inconvenient to always have to run down to the local cafe when the urge for a specialty coffee like a Cappuccino or Cafe Mocha strikes, and so most of us settle for regular home made coffee more times than not. Well, if you’re lucky enough you may just be able to snag yourself a free NESCAFE Dolce Gusto machine by entering the free contest at Sweetspot.ca. The contest is very easy to enter, as you simply fill out a few details (so that they’ll know how to contact you if you win), and you’re set.
The machine itself quite impressive as it makes single servings of popular coffee drinks such as Espressos, Cafe Mochas, Cappuccinos, Americanos, and even cold drinks like Iced Cappuccinos! It’s an advanced machine capable of producing all of the foam and froth that you’d expect with such beverages. You can even customize the heat and strength of the beverage to meet your personal tastes. It’s the perfect item for those who love to entertain, both around the holidays and rest of the year as well. The machine is also quite decorative, coming in three different colors (red, black, white) which are all accentuated with chrome. So if you love coffee, you’ll no doubt love the NESCAFE Dolce Gusto machine.
Important Note: The contest is only open to Canadians and runs from November 2nd to December 20th of this year.
