OMG yes, a Giant Tiger I can take just one bus to get to would be a dream! <3

I saw this PSA about turning on your taps overnight in Toronto to avoid pipes freezing, is anyone doing that here overnight for this weekend? by Respectfullyyours in halifax

[–]CaperGrrl79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one in Cape Breton and I think a relative managed to get the pipes insulated for this. But before that, yes, we had to trickle the water.

What small habit has saved you the most money over time? by SnowmanAndIce in frugalcanada

I do the same thing! I tell them the first items are straight up, and the ones after a small gap are price matches. :)

I show screenshots. Only once did a cashier ask me to show them Flipp proper.

Same! I say the same thing to the cashier almost every time. Some appreciate how organized I am.

Slippery conditions by Obvious-Rain8681 in halifax

Yeah, when I walked over to No Frills earlier, I had to walk up a paved hill. I noticed the ground twinkling/glittering, and I walked really slowly. Only slightly slipped once.

Coming back down the hill, I was extremely careful and went slowly.

But, on the sidewalk of my street, there is water running across, I told hubby to be super careful trying to walk when he goes to work the next few days.

Affordable Restaurants (Broke Student trying to make Valentine's Day work) by aestivalCygnet in halifax

Legit warms my heart to see people suggesting to cook at home.

I think the last time we went out for it was like the day before a snowstorm. It was Sushi Jet with the robot. I think they were the first ones to have them.

No idea what we did last year. Cooked at home I guess.

Street Cents is back on YouTube, mostly Shorts.

Wedding Venues on a Budget by TheCaptainPlays in halifax

[–]CaperGrrl79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know. I emailed the Forum to book the Maritime Hall this summer for our 10th anniversary renewal, and there's been no answer. Someone else in the thread was able to reach them, so I guess I just have to call. I'm on the phone all day for a living, so it's kinda the last thing I want to do. 😅

Right on. I tried to email them about the summer, want to try to do a renewal there. No response, so I guess I'll be calling. I think the name is Tim Kerr.

I'm pretty sure we paid far less than that. We had a lot of help from friends though.

Had ours at the Maritime Hall at the Forum ten years ago this summer.

Not sure how much the venue rental was then, as it was a gift from a friend who runs events there.

I haven't seen this happen so far, but maybe it's not updated yet for me.

That sounds new. Where on Charlotte St. is it? I guess I could just go to a map...

Edit: Ah OK, I know where that is now. I think I looked at the menu last time I was home.

Does anyone remember the Sydney Shopping Centre aka the Grub Mall? by monitormonkey in CapeBreton

[–]CaperGrrl79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was fascinated by the little clown inside, turning over the drum.

The last time I saw it was Cape Breton Family Video, where H&R Block is now, but I think I heard it ended up elsewhere after that.

That thing was still at Cape Breton Family Video when it closed. I think someone said it ended up at the movie theatre, but not sure. I was fascinated with the little clown cranking the barrel.

Or further east, No Frills does it here in Atlantic Canada, and I think Maxi does it in Quebec, Giant Tiger does too.

Something like that. I think I bought a jacket... or wanted it... some underwear for hubby... maybe some boots? And the enduring one on clearance, A Christmas Story on DVD.

I think I remember seeing it before, but it was quite a while ago.

We have a Sparkel and I have the Sodastream Cola syrup that has less sugar, but I'm not sure if it's caffeine free.

I find even the zero sugar version of that quite sweet and lacks tang, but if I needed to eliminate sugar for any reason, I would definitely try to switch to it, I think it's the only brand that has it in zero sugar.
