Canadian Tire, The Bad, The Ugly, & The Don't Roll Your Eyes At Me!

Hi Everyone,

First off, I just wanted to say sorry for not adding to my blog in a very long time. Just alot of things have been going on! I feel like a chicken with it's head chopped off and don't know were to go half the time these past couple of weeks (Not meaning any violence against animals by that phrase, as I am a big animal lover :) but now that my life has calmed down a bit I am able to do what I love, writing about my experiences :).

SO I hate to start off my new entry with a complaint but if you have been reading my blog for some time than you know my temper lol. I know everyone has their bad days (Hey I hear ya girl, half the time you can not talk to me until I have like 100 cups of coffee in me first!) But there is no excuse to give attitude to a person when they are being nice to you in the first place??

So this weekend me and my DH went to Canadian Tire. We had to get a few things, one including a weed remover for his Dad. (His Dad is super nice and get's us stuff all the time so we thought it would be nice to give him something back in return he could use :) So we got it and went to the cashier. NOWWW I don't know if any of you get that bad feeling in the pit of your stomach when you see someone you know is not going to be nice or accepting but man did it hit me like a bad case of Mexican food when i saw this cashier!

The look on this cashiers face looked like she was going to kill me and the entire store lol. Now I don't like to fight unless I need to. But I prepared myself for the worst. Anyways we go to her as it was the shortest line at the time. First off, she doesn't even say anything to us when we get to her. So I simple say Hi, how are you? I then get an attitude HI. OK off to a great start...NOT! Now she rings in the weed remover, no problem. I asked her if she could please put it in a bad as It has those sharp hook things at the bottom and I didn't want it to mess up the seat of our car.

Well, she rolls her eyes at me and throws a bag at me to put it in! DH was like excuse me??? LOL. I was in shock by the way she acted. (Actually I wanted to laugh at her, she reminded me of Fat Albert by a female version LOL) No offence to anyone out there! Hey I am Phat and Fabulous and proud of it! Work it to all the women out there that got curves!)

Because we had to be somewhere else in a hurry and were pressed for time I didn't want to waste anymore time being there. (As I would have called a Manager right than and there to complain) also her negative energy was just...well...scary LOL. So I told my DH to calm down and I would deal with it later. (Going to call the Canadian Tire store and speak with a Manager about the situation after I finish this blog) Well we left, DH told her off, calling her lazy and telling her to do her job right LOL. (I love it when he gets all mad LOL he has that bad a*s look to him lol, even though he wouldn't hurt a fly)

But to end this off I just don't know why people act like this??? I know we have are bad days, but even when I am having a bad day I still have to be nice to people, because,

1.) Could lose my job
2.) Not their fault I am having a bad day
3.) Respect!

I hope you all have better experiences than I have had lately lol.

Happy Shopping Everyone! and Thanks for reading!

Please sign this petition to help stop coupon selling on Ebay!

Hi Everyone,

A great petition was started and If you believe in the cause please sign it!

Coupon selling is illegal in Canada and yet E-Bay allows it by letting the people say you are paying for their time and not the coupons....Please help stop this....These coupons were meant for people to save money on the items the buy and not for people to make money from taking all the coupons to sell on E-Bay.

Please Do Not Buy Coupons Online!!! Couponers Come Together! And Yes I am Ranting!

Hi Everyone,

I have been reading a lot of stories lately about people selling coupons online and how alot of people are mad because these people sell them and take all the tear pads they can find so other people can not use them and then of course go and sell them online! Now, I know some may agree with me and some may not, but I just wanted to give my two cents on it. I know usually my blog is happy go lucky but I thought I would take a more seriously look at something that I know is bothering alot of people out there, including myself.

To all the people out there who take them and sell them:

Come on! People are paying for your time to go and get them? That is how you value the price? We all know your doing your shopping anyways and while your there you just take the whole tear pads! Also, the coupons are there for people to save money not for you to take advantage of the people your trying to sell them to! You could be taking food out of someones mouth or even their children's mouth by taking those tear pads! It may only be a 1.00 off a product but that dollar off could mean a lot to a certain person or family! Then after you take all the tear pads you sell them to the same people who should have gotten them for free?  Sometimes the coupon is not even worth the price your selling it for? You should all be ashamed of yourselves and I don't know how you sleep at night? I hope people get the hint and don't buy anything off of you! If you have any respect for others you will stop it!

To the people who steal the coupons out of the products and don't buy the product:

Seriously??? If you want the coupon buy the product! You make it difficult for people like me who want a product and can not purchase it because all the boxes of a product are open! Your stupidity makes life difficult for people who actually spend there hard earn money on the products they love and deserve!

To the people who are buying them or thinking of buying them online:

Please do not buy any coupons online. You are just adding to the problem and your paying for something that you should have gotten for free. By you doing this the problem will not be solved. Take a stand and do not buy them! If your tired of not getting the tear pads you want they take a stand today! Get the message out either on your twitter, facebook pages or blogs, whatever you do to get your views across to do!

For the people who take the whole tear pads just for themselves:

Don't be selfish! Please leave some for others! You know how hard it is to find good tear pad coupons so don't be a hog and make sure you take the amount you need! Not the whole pack!

For every action there is a reaction! So by not buying the coupons you will help to stop the crazy madness of people selling them online. And people will be able to enjoy the coupons they deserve for FREE, like they should always be!

Thanks for reading and I am sorry if I am ranting! I just hate people's money being wasted on things like this!

Had great cashiers at No Frills and Walmart over the weekend!

Hi Everyone,

First off I am feeling so much more better and was able to go shopping this past weekend! So happy to be back to my normal, crazy save a dollar diva self. (Husband though is getting what I had *sigh*) Hopefully he will not have it as bad as I did.

Well I went to my local No Frills over the weekend to get some deals and goodies. I was looking for the Ziploc sandwich bags (40). Which were on sale for $0.97! I had a 1.00 off coupon so this would make them FREE! I ran over like I always do (I looked like a kid running to see what they got for Christmas) and then of course I got disappointed as there were none left! I asked one of the cashiers on the floor if they had any left and she said whatever was there on the shelf was all they had. :( I was disappointed, like I got clothes instead of toys on Christmas, but I thought you can't win them all.

So me and my dear husband finished our shopping and go to the cashier to ring up our purchases. The cashier who is ringing us out is the same cashier who I talked to earlier and she had a smile on her face and handed me what else... MY ZIPLOC BAGS! I looked at her in shock and said how did you find them? She told me a customer decided last minute they didn't want them and kept them aside for me!!!! I was so grateful! :)

I love my No Frills because their cashiers are always super nice! So I got my Ziploc bags for FREE because of someones kindness! So If you have that nice cashier, you better keep being nice to them lol.

After No Frills husband and I went to Walmart. Now I have had some bad cashier moments at Walmart so when I do find some great cashiers I try and keep to the same ones. Well I found a new cashier lol! She was great, friendly, and did all my price matching with ease. She also took all my coupons and just looked at them for like 10 seconds lol. It was the fastest I ever got out of Walmart LOL.

So I got my health back and had a great shopping experience at the same time! :)

Thanks for reading and happy shopping!
