The weather is warming up and around here that means its time to fire up the barbecue and do some grilling! My husband in particular considers himself somewhat of a grill master, however while he can grill all sorts of great things like burgers, chicken and veggies he’s never quit mastered the art of grilling a great steak. Thankfully, professional chef Michael is sharing his steak grilling secrets so that we can all enjoy perfect steaks every time! He’s created a great video full of advice, and you can check it out on the Clubhouse.ca website. Clubhouse.ca is chalk full of informative grilling information, so it’s a must visit before your next BBQ.
Also be sure to check out the La Serious Griller Contest where prizes such as a three hundred dollar Canadian Tire gift card and a deluxe La Grille Barbecue Seasoning Pack are being given away! The contest is easy to enter and the lucky winner will surely enjoy their grilling goodies! I know I was getting hungry just looking at some of the sauces and spices that Club House offers. Just a note though that the contest is only open to Canadian residents, however anyone can check out the great grilling tips on Clubhouse.ca!
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!
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!
