Fortunately, the recession is lifting; unfortunately, that eliminates the need for Screw You Recession. That is definitely not something to look forward to this week but the show must go on!
I’ve helped you fill your schedules with cheap awesomeness all summer long but now it’s your turn to do the searching. Look back to TTLFT 6 for a guide to finding really cool happenings nationwide all on your lonesome.
I love you too much to leave you empty handed so here are some super duper fall guides to keep you busy over the next little while (more…)
Ah the day after Virgin Festival. So exhausted. I’ll probably just sit in my P.J.s and nap all day. Oh the life of a blogger.
Beyond today, I do eventually plan on leaving my house, and you should follow suit since there are a bunch of things to look forward to this week:
A guide to packing: A free seminar for those Torontonians who have the travel bug. I need this more than anyone. I am the queen of over packing / getting charged extra for my suitcase being overweight. When your suitcase weighs more than you, you know you have a problem.
Sky High: TheCanadian International Air Show takes flight (more…)
Check your calendars people! Can you believe it’s ALREADY the end of August!?
Insanity I tell you. INSANITY!! BUT…alas, that means that THE VIRGIN FESTIVAL is here!! Soooo…what better way to spend the last weekend of the summer right!? AND its right down at the Amphitheatre!! It doesn’t get handier than that!
So stop dilly-dallying and go pick up your tickets! Pardon my language but, it’s gonna be a shit-show (and yes, that’s a good thing). Check out my Vfest Montreal Adventures!!
I noticed that Thade posted about volunteering earlier. I couldn’t agree with him more that volunteering is one of the most fulfilling things you can do in this life.
I volunteer pretty frequently myself. On Tuesdays, I give post-workout rub downs to the competitive Canadian Hot Girl team. Thursdays, I do unpaid stand-up comedy at the local funeral home. Saturdays, I stand on the boulevard of a local street and yell at speeding drivers as they zoom by. Nobody asks me to do that last one, but I feel the difference I am making with every obscenity and hard object thrown in my direction. (more…)
September is a little over a month away but let’s not think about that. There’s still a lot of summer left to enjoy!
Here’s some fun cheapness to take advantage of this week:
Movie Night! —If you’re out east, head over to the Halifax Waterfront Boardwalk on the 31st for an outdoor screening of Harold And Maude. It’s shown on an inflatable screen, how cool is that! Admission is only $5.
Festival Of The Caribbean—Toronto’s 42nd Caribana festival is upon us this weekend. There will be a ton of free events, unique vendors and a really awesome parade. The festival brings over 1 million participants into the city making it a tried and true Toronto tradition.
So I am off to catch the last bit of Montreal Fashion Week. Normally, this would be followed by 1-2 weeks of total lust induced depression. I watch a fashion show for an hour, and I’ll think about those clothes for weeks. And while working for Virgin Mobile has its perks (including daily sing alongs and walk-offs), a six figure salary isn’t among them. So I will not likely be able to afford these clothes anytime soon.

rachel plan weekly meals and buy whatever you can in bulk,hands wash your clothes when ever you can and grow a garden or if you have a family member that has a garden ask if you can get some fresh veggies when there ready to come out
Derekp I think i’ve seen this somewhere before…but it’s not bad at all
Rath You have a decent blog here. I would encourage you to keep writing and posting as often as you are inspired to do so. In the long run, it will really pay off as more and more people will begin to visit, read and refer others. ProExtender
dawn Now that we have some nice hot weather…save using your dryer and hang your clothes out to dry..Get a clothesline and pins from the dollar store…watch out for the pigeons though….
lasierra great blog! I’m glad I finally found a decent blog that I liked. Just subscribed to the feed and looking forward to future updates.
Theresa Waste less food by taking more trips to the grocery store, but buy less. Plan fresh meals ahead, buy what you need when you need it. Also, frequent local markets for great deals!
