Holy smokes! 47 cent deals! I’m glad that you saved some money for Black Friday. Great shopping again this week. Can’t wait to see your meals this week. Take care and have a great week!
Hi Melanie 🤗 You are so cute! Honestly - you are 🥰 Love the pics of you in the lineup. So glad you got another bag of muffin mix! Woohoo! It's great when you find something like that that works for you and the Handsome One. You got some fantastic deals at Gateway!!! Wow! 🤩 We stopped at our local No Frills on the way back from another errand and got a few really great deals. I have my Handsome One trained well now and he looks at the areas in the store that we know have the special "in-store" deals and he kept seeing people with big packs of toilet paper so we got a few packs of those too!
@@cyclingonplants7444 Ha. The pictures don't show it. It was so windy waiting in the lineup. It was freezing. Nice and warm inside and well worth the wait. I wish there was a No Frills near me. That would be awesome!
I would have LOVED if any of our grocery stores had been so kind with such a sale. You did truly awesome this week. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy the week. Catherine
@myhillsidegarden3998 It really is kind that that little Independent grocery store offers Black Friday on food. Maybe some of the big jox stores will get on board next year!
Fantastic deals. You are Gradually getting those condiments also opening up lots of flavour options. Your Christmas meal and snacks is looking bright also! 47 cents? Lol yeah , amaze balls! I joke that I’m moving there just because of Gateway! 😂 can’t wait to see what you cook up this week! So many choices!
@@deedream10 I felt good about the 3/4 I spent before the Black Friday Gateway deals. I couldn't believe it. We spoke with one of the staff (I think the owner, actually) in the parking lot. He said they always offer Black Friday specials. Kudos to them.
Holy Smokes that is a lot of food, for $42 I wish we lived closer to Gateway too. We get there about 2-3 times a year. A friend of the family picks up things for us sometimes too. We use thick cut pork cubed up for stir frys, or even stews.
Wow...awesome grocery haul! I would love it if you made some muffins with the pancake mix as well and do a comparison. May have saved you a bit or not depending on how much is in each package. Of course you live in maple syrup country, so you probably really like pancakes!
I did the shoppers drug mart redemption this weekend. Was able to get butter and eggs for baking and all my stocking stuffers checked off my list. Only paid tax.🎉
I stuff thick pork chops like you purchased. Lots of recipes on line with instructions on how to cut a pocket for the stuffing. One split between my husband and I is quite filling. A lot of the recipes are with spinach, which I saw in your haul.
@@adventuresingroceryland when I stuff them I use bits of stuff I have on hand such as cheese, spinach, bread crumbs etc. so it is economical. I have been very impressed with the budget recipes you have created. Also you got some terrific Black Friday deals. I did not see any Black Friday deals for food here in the U.S. Most Black Friday deals here are for other merchandise. The week preceding that is grocery deals for our Thanksgiving,
I live in Saskatchewan and we do not have discounts store like you do BRAVO for your bargain hunting. I also find having my prescriptions at Shoppers allows me to collect a lot of points each month. Usually I get 12,000-14,000 in bonus points on prescriptions (one prescript I get 10,000 points on).
$1 for a bag of small avocados is a great deal. I try to get a bag every 2 weeks. I find with the dry air inside during the winter it’s a must for my skin.
@ and the avocados weren’t over ripe either. I won’t buy them unless they are green. If they are brown or have brown spots I find they are going bad, and don’t taste good. One of your best deals this year 👍
Great job! Next year maybe add .25¢ for any total monthly overage, and do not add anything specifically for Christmas to your grocery total because those are unique items that you wouldn’t normally be buying.
I like that they are building Christmas items into weekly buys as this shows how for people who aren’t able to set aside extra cash for later or are not able to do a big Christmas specific shopping trip.
@@Larissa-iw5wy Agreed, Larissa. Showing that if you don't have the budget for a big Christmas shop, spread out the spending and still have a successful Christmas!
Our Black Friday shopping was not as exciting - we bought laundry soap sheets. Definitely a change from years ago when we would buy line up to buy a cart full of non consumable items.
This was an amazing haul, amazing finds. We never had any Black Friday deals like that. In Ontario, but I definitely know. I'm excited for you guys this week. The safe way paul alone could feed you guys for the week? If you really had to stretch that
@samanthadodd8112 It was crazy! There was almost an incident when we were at cash. Someone walked in, went straight to the chicken and then straight to the cash. Staff made sure they knew they needed to go to the end of the line. Geesh.

I cannot believe the great bargains you found!!! Great job! I am so happy for you!!!
Thanks, Chris. It was an awesome week.
Wow Super Saving haul ❤Nice black Friday sales 👍
@@NattyHomeMaker Yeah, it was pretty awesome!

What great deals on black Friday!! It's going to be a good week and future weeks too! None of my grocery stores in town had good deals like that. 😊😊😊😊
@@cindydaniel6125 It's really nice that Gateway offers Black Friday specials. So needed.
Wow! Great deals. None like that, here. Good for you!
@@tenthousanddaysofgratitude I was so excited about the Gateway sale. It was so busy there. No wonder.
Wow! You are a champion shopper! Great deals and great variety.

@@kathryndockrey1477 It's been totally random that I've been near there so much lately. Very exciting! Whoot!!
You are right Melanie, these are extremely exciting deals ❤🎉😊
@@sandiedrew4086 Thanks, Sandie. No wonder the place was packed!!
Nice! The bbq sauce is super exciting! It really opens up a lot of awesome flavor options!
@Layla-ir3sl I was excited about it. I got home and that handsome one said, why did you pick that flavour? Harrumph!
I was excited to see a new video come up . AWESOME DEALS !
@@jillgott6567 Thanks, Jill. It was a really good week.
Such a great series and video! Thank you!

Awesome grocery haul 💯 😊

@@ellefaye448 I won't lie. The thought of using the pancake mix for other things did cross my mind! But I do love a good pancake!!!
Wow, sure wish we had those great sales here in my small city in Saskatchewan. You did awesome.

There is an older recipe that Betty Crocker has for stuffed pork chops that is so good. Corn bread and bacon and other yummy stuff.
@@judytieger8976 Ooh, good idea!!
@@Smooshes786 Corn bread is not that common here. Unusual to find a mix for it!
@@adventuresingroceryland aw, that’s a drag. IF you see it, grab some. It’s a labour intensive recipe (to me) When Mr makes it, I’m always happy.

@adventuresingroceryland they are too greedy
I can't believe the chicken was 47 cents.

@adventuresingroceryland
Sometimes u have to wonder about people. 47 cents will make people go crazy.
