    I like to take advantage of the gift card savings, I also pair these with other opportunities, like Groupon and deals from different businesses. For instance, you can purchase all kinds of restaurant deals, for Father's Day. These are available for many different holidays. You can give these as gifts, or just keep them for yourself. I buy a couple of cards each week and just hold on to them for future use. We have a manila envelope with all of our gift cards, kept in one place. I made a form, to write each cards information on, this is also in the envelope. I also use the Local Flavor app, for big savings. With Groupon and Local Flavor, you can put in the whatever location you want, so I am collecting savings for future trips, as well.

    I view the recipe videos in the morning before I make my grocery list to get inspiration.  I have an alarm set on my phone to check in and watch a rewards video everyday.

      I have created a Excel spreadsheet of our foods. One each, for the pantry, fridge and freezer. I make our weekly menu, with these lists.

      If you stop complaining and start being more thankful for what you have, you will lead a happier life.

      My fitness trick is I record some of my favourite shows on the DVR and every morning I work out on my elliptical trainer and with my dumbbells and watch my shows that’s only time I watch TV during the day…

      I love to cook and love watching the cooking videos to cook healthier is a plus.  I really enjoy sending the e cards, saves a lot of money and they are usually better than what you find in the stores.  The discounts you find for the food and retail help a lot in the long run.

      I try to do at least these two things every day at least 35 minutes: physical exercise (walk, bike, senior fit class) as well as mental exercise  e.g. New York Times pangram or crossword puzzle or Washington Post crossword puzzle (extra credit for doing the Sunday puzzle. When doing physical exercise I tried to build stamina by adding a few minutes each day or an added hill BUT  I NEVER VIOLATE RULE 1 LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. If something begins or especially if if suddenly feels wrong, I back off what I was doing ASAP. It does not matter what you do, only that you do, do. WHILE YOU CAN, DO!!
