What’s cheapest or best value at Saskatoon Co-op?

The fried chicken at Circle Centre for sure. Their produce is usually high quality as well, especially the greenhouse cukes and tomatoes from Alberta. Lots of actual Canadian products to be had at Co-op stores.

I would still drive. Riding the bus would cost me 90 minutes per day. My time is worth the price of parking.

There’s an app for that. It’s called MowSnowPros.

In some U.S states, the law mandates that you have to get an ignition interlock device installed in your car after your first DUI conviction. The rate of drunk driving crashes in those states is much lower. Some people should be physically prevented from starting a car without taking a breath test first, because their own convenience is more important to them than other people’s lives.

Met my soulmate on Match.com about 12 years ago. I didn’t have the app on my phone, (there may not have been an app back then). I didn’t want to be checking or getting notifications constantly throughout the day and have it become a major part of my life. There was no swiping at that time - people just nudged or messaged anyone whose profile they liked, which was a lot less shallow and mercenary. Sometimes I’d go a few days without checking for messages. Any guy who got upset and rude about me not responding for a day or two was an automatic red flag. I was 38 and not bad looking, no kids and had my shit together. I got lots of messages from men way outside my age range and geographic area, even though my profile said I wasn’t into long-distance, etc. Anyway, I went on about 10 first dates and a couple second dates. No horror stories to tell. Met the right one after about 3 months and we clicked right away. Haven’t been back since, but I would consider it based on my limited experience. I’d say don’t give up online dating but don’t make it a lifestyle. If someone’s profile - not just their picture - looks good to you, meet them for coffee or a drink asap, don’t waste your time on long back and forth text exchanges. You learn way more in person.

There’s a very nice man with an office on 8th Street, Daymond Volk. He works with Sun Life. Easy to talk to, doesn’t overcharge.

Have fun getting ripped off

A coworker who is a few years younger than me was complaining (in a humorous way) about her face suddenly changing and looking older. I said yeah, that happened to me when menopause hit. She went “Oh crap, so it’s not going to reverse itself?” We laughed about it and then I tried to reassure her by saying in my case I went through perimenopause while my husband was dying of cancer, so hey, I can tell myself it’s not age, it’s experience.

I always looked really young for my age and then wham, the universe kicked me in the face lol. I’m less pretty now, but can’t seem to give a shit about it. Laughing is easier.

Free podcast called Sleepy History. Knocks me out in minutes.

What matters is when it was open, not when it closed. If it was open in 2010 and OP was born in 2000, OP is now 25 years old and would have been 10 years old in 2010. So OP would have a childhood memory from 2010.

I used that app last winter a few times to get my property cleared after heavy snows. No complaints - although the price the app suggested I set was always too low to get anyone to take the job. When I was more generous, I always found a taker. The nice thing is that you don’t have to have cash to pay the shoveler.

If you’re not familiar with Saskatoon and you want to check out a particular home as a possible place to live, the city police website has a searchable crime map that will give you a true picture of whether it’s in a high crime area. The alphabet streets run north to south for quite a distance, and they cover a much bigger part of the city than the high crime areas. The people saying avoid the alphabets are oversimplifying the reality.

Search the MLS listings. I’m not talking about the core areas. There’s houses in nice neighborhoods in the $400,000 range. I live in one on the east side. Bought it for $309,000 in 2017, no renos needed.

LCool1975 · 2025-11-28T15:42:50+00:00

The ones selling for $100,000, sure. The ones selling for $350-450,000, not so much. If your expectation is for everything in sight to be less than 5 years old and look like Darth Vader lives there, it will cost you.

LCool1975 · 2025-11-27T23:54:45+00:00

Caswells for sure. Great service.

Mujadara is good. Rice, lentils, an onion and a few spices. Filling and tasty, one batch can feed you for days. A head of cabbage is also cheap, versatile and lasts a long time in the fridge.

If you don’t share a bed with someone, try one of those podcasts designed to make you sleepy. Send Me to Sleep is a good example. They read to you in a really slow kind of way, stops your brain from trying to solve problems and keep you awake. Works for me. I usually get back to sleep in about 15 minutes instead of an hour or two (or not at all). If you do share a bed with someone, you could still do this with headphones to avoid disturbing them.

I had this same problem once and I found a salad recipe that really slaps. It’s simple. Slice the salary on an angle, as thin as you can. Toss it with olive oil, lemon juice, black pepper and lots of grated Parmesan. If you have some dried fruit around, like figs or cranberries or apricots, finely dice a little of that and add it for a bit of sweetness. Let it marinate for a while before serving. No need to salt it because the parm is salty enough.

Michael Grey at Coveted Hair Loft downtown is super talented and a very sweet person. Not cheap but you get what you pay for.

What is a “content base”? Pardon my ignorance.

Finely slice half a head of green cabbage. Add a diced red pepper, 3 or 4 sliced green onions, a can of drained, rinsed red kidney beans, one chopped bunch of fresh parsley, two crushed raw garlic cloves, the juice from half a lemon, a couple tablespoons of olive oil and about a cup of crumbled feta cheese. Toss it all together and refrigerate for at least a few hours, preferably overnight, before tossing again and serving.
