Thurs 15 Jan

They cancelled schools for today, making the decision already yesterday afternoon, because of the extreme cold. Needless to say, Michael was thrilled. Makes it all the harder for the rest of us to brave the temps anyway.

Just took advantage of an excellent Quaker sale at Copps. All their cereals, including my favorites Maple & Brown Sugar Life and Quaker Oat Squares (that usually go $3.50-$4.25/box) were 5/$10 minus a $3 coupon, averaging $1.40/box. I stocked up big time, plus got Michael some Quaker Breakfast Cookies (I know, but he likes them!) and Chewy Granola Bars w/Protein that he will at least eat for breakfast on his way out the door to school. I only had one coupon, but the checkout lady grabbed several more in-store circulars, in effect giving me an extra $24 at the checkout. I love a good bargain!


Food:

7:00 am 1 c Quaker Oatmeal Squares, 1/2 c light vanilla soy milk, 1/2 c blueberries, cherry juice from concentrate, coffee
11:45 am Grilled cheese sandwich (2 slices 45-cal Sara Lee Delightful multigrain bread, 1.55 oz cheddar cheese, 2 tsp margarine), 1/2 grapefruit, molasses cookie
4:30 pm 1 pc Hershey's Pot of Gold dark chocolate
5:30 pm 1/2 gyro w/5 oz meat, 1/4 c sliced tomato, 2 strips onion, 1/8 c cucumber sauce
8:30 pm 44 g peanut butter chocolate krispie treat
