I Did It With Dunnit Shoes

Published on May 17th, 2012

Dunnit Shoes started following me on Twitter the other day so I checked out their website. I fell in love with the fun colours and the mandate that the shoes are designed and crafted to be affordable. They run only $50-$55 and can be found at Groovy or Blue Banana Market in Toronto. Dunnit was kind enough to send me a pair and after walking around in them for a week, I can say they’re great! Comfortable, stylish and they add a nice punch to any outfit!

If you’re looking for a fashionable and affordable shoes to add to your spring wardrobe, these are definitely a great option!

5 Appetizers for $5 (And More) At The Foggy Dew

Published on May 15th, 2012

Yesterday in Toronto we hit a high of 22 degrees! To Torontonians everywhere, that could only mean one thing, it was patio time.

With so many great patio’s in the city of Toronto it’s hard to choose just one. However, yesterday needing to convene at the end of a long work day and as always, wanting to stay savvy, we chose The Foggy Dew to enjoy our pints as the sun set.

The Toronto patio wraps around the restaurant managing to face both north and west so it catches the majority of a days sun, especially the ever important “after work sun”, setting in the west. The vibe is low key and the deals are a steal throughout the week. Check this out:

Monday: 5 appetizers for $5 until midnight! With a table of 5 people we were able to order ten full sized appetizers (calamari, pulled pork taco’s, spinach and pear dip, avocado salsa and duck confit poutine). We each had 2 drinks and ordered ten appetizers and our bill came to $112. Over 5 people that’s just $25…a STEAL!

Tuesday: $0.50 wings- n’uff said

Wednesday: A Pint of Kilkenny and Molasses braised brisket sandwich for $13.99

Thursday: Any potpie and any Mill St brew for $14.99

Saturday/Sunday: Great weekend brunch with $2.99 make your own caesars!

I was enjoying the sun (and my company) so much yesterday that I neglected to snap some pictures of the fab appetizers and full patio. But here’s a quick snap pulled from Foggy Dew’s Facebook page so you can see how large this patio really is…if you haven’t yet been there!

I Bought A House This Weekend…

Published on May 14th, 2012

I bought a house over the weekend. Yup, I did.

She's So Savvy: Bought A House

It’s not like it seems though. Whenever people say “I bought a house” it makes it seem like they just wandered into an open house, decided it felt like a good day to make a HUGE purchase and they plopped down a wad of money. It’s not like that at all, really.

Over the past few months I have perused realtor.ca everyday looking at new properties, met with agents about exactly what I was looking for and where it was located. Thought about if I wanted to be a landlord and have 2 tenants or just a basement rental, met with my bank to confirm exactly how much I could afford and then I waited… and waited to find the right place. When it finally came, I was able to jump on it quickly because of all the prior research. It’s all this research that allows me to say things like “I bought a house this weekend”.

So what happens next and what does this mean for you-the reader? First things first, I have to sell my current place which means I will be posting much about savvy cleaning and storage. Once I move, I will be proving you with more posts on decorating a new place, facilitating small renovations, and how to use paint and other tactics (like mirrors) to open a space and bounce light around a room. We’ll be stalking Kijiji and Craigslist for all the best finds because after buying your first house, who really has extra money! Finally, due to my serious limited funds you’ll be getting more savvy dining posts because… a girls gotta eat!

Stay tuned and have a great Monday!
