I know two blog posts in one day but I have to share my new discovery. So you know the show Extreme Couponing on TLC, well I have to say I get a little frustrated with that show for a few reasons. First off the ginormous amount of coupons that are available to the American public and secondly the amount of savings the stores give out to their customers. Now that's fine and dandy for them on the show but for some stupid regulation laws and other weird stuff Canada does now allow extreme couponing to that extent. So as a person who budgets and likes to save it can be frustrating to see that I can't get that same savings that they do. My Mom has been couponing my whole life and was really good about going through the flyers for deals and matching it all and I am starting to pick that all up too. But recently I discovered certain websites that you can print coupons off on and they send you them in the mail, and not just dinky little savings, like really good savings too, also these coupons don't expire that quickly and some don't ever expire so yay for that!
So here are the few websites I have been going too:
www.SmartCanucks.ca
www.save.ca
www.brandsaver.ca
The other day I was able to buy the new Cover Girl clump buster mascara for only $6.00 because I had a $2.00 off coupon which made me quite happy!
Anyhow I hope you can find this blog post useful for some future savings tips!

A little less of a brick in my stomach...
As with a lot of the recipes I find this one was on Pintrest. This is one of the simplest yet awesome salads that I have made and when most foods are super heavy tasting this one was light and fresh!
Pomegranate Apple Salad:
Ingredients:
1) De seed pomegranates by filling a bowl with water and cut the pomegranates in half and start digging out the seeds in the water. Its easier to de seed them when they are submerged and it also cuts back on the mess and stains these delicious vessels of goodness can make. After de seeding them pick out any of the skin that may not have come off, drain the seeds of the water and set aside.
2) Peel and cut up the apples, I like to cut them in half length wise and the again width wise and then slice into about 7 slices. Place slices in water with 3 tblsp of lemon juice and let soak until everything is ready to put together.
3) In a large bowl add all pomegranate seeds, except for 1/2 cup, and apples after they are drained of the water and then add the tub of cool whip. Mix it all together and then sprinkle 1/2 cup of pomegranate seeds on top and enjoy!
* Note: this is an excellent dish to start making a tradition to have on the dinner table for the holiday feasts!
