RE: Dysfunctional Ulog
I was 'diagnosed' three times with different stomach conditions that ended up being wrong before I finally realized doctors were just grasping at straws and I was on my own. Well...I knew that before with the chronic pain but somehow managed to hold onto some deniability with the next major condition. Most IBS like symptoms can be managed with diet...but unfortunately the road to finding out those triggers is a long one. Coconut flour seems to be the same price here but the oil is almost $30 and the milk $3 per can! Anyway...if you ever want to chat about anything...I have Partiko installed which has a neat messenger button on the bottom and push notifications just like text messaging. <3

HOLY CRAP that's absurd, $30! Where are you living, again? 😮
Hahaha...small rural town in BC...that sorta explains it. We have a health food store but they mark it up even more. I have empathy for small businesses but it's hard when you just really can't afford to support them. Buying online is also tricky when you can't afford the minimum order just to get the free shipping! Hope your day was good. <3

What about getting it off Amazon? Here the price on Amazon is good, but .ca might be different.
I ordered off amazon once...and didn't enjoy that experience. Giving it another chance seems like a good solution! <3

Yeah, normally I'm rather anti- shopping at behemoths if it can be helped, but sometimes it's the only decent option now. And though I have successfully boycotted Walmart for years, I get paid by selling my book on Amazon, and doing work on Amazon MTurk, and can keep a wish list of groceries and cat food there so if people ask me that they want to send me a present, what do I need - they can see the exact allergy-safe cat food or allergy-safe people food that would really help me out. It's easy too if someone gives me a gift card for my birthday or when I earn gift cards from certain survey and shopping apps, to go with Amazon for the same reason - I can order practical, grocery things as well as fun things. It's pretty difficult to boycott them nowadays!
I have been avoiding surveys that give out amazon gift cards as rewards because the pop ups stress me out...and they seem scammy. I don't like my email inbox constantly filling up with random junk either. Before changing my diet around...shopping on amazon always seemed too restrictive or like it would be hard finding anything really useful. The fur baby has lots of toys...lol. This seems to have changed now and the prices for coconut stuff even in canada appears a lot more affordable than local. But I also can't buy anything with the last money left on hand till end of next month and risk getting another goof up order. Waiting for them to get around to refunding or fixing the order could spell disaster. In this way using only gift cards could be a bit of a lifesaver because I wouldn't be any worse off. I have always been cautious buying staple groceries online because of how terribly unpredictable shipping almost always is going to small towns. I have lived in a lot of them and the struggle is real. On top of that...the way our postal service has been acting up for the last few months...I would have starved to death ordering online. I even had something ordered via walmart trapped for three months in a warehouse thirty minutes away and they never did find it. That was during the strike though. Still interested in trying out more shopping apps though...just in case I figure out a system that works. Amazon would be nice as long as it does not get lost after they hand it over to the carrier. Do you know about swag bucks being any good? Two people recommended it again lately and I am still wondering how much work is involved...and how applicable the products are to my lifestyle. I started the neilson on last month because you aren't restricted to what products you want to buy that actually qualify...and it's supposed to reward four weeks of scanning barcodes at home with $15 prepaid visa. And also they automatically enter you in draws for higher valued prepaid visas. Still waiting to see how legit that one is.... :D

I haven't done swag bucks or Neilsen, but I've heard some of the couponers I follow talk about Neilsen on their blog before. I get gift cards from Shopkick and Fetch Rewards, both apps on my phone. Survey Monkey Rewards pays cash, and ibotta (US only, I think) pays cash, and Checkout 51 pays cash. I have referral codes for those too if you're interested!
Checkout 51 is good...but it's been a few weeks since anything that I actually buy has been listed. It will take a long time to build up. Thank you for your recommendations! <3
