I made a vegan Dubai chocolate bar

I wanted to try a proper vegan version of the viral  Dubai chocolate. I have tried the one from Palm bites  and  it’s good but it’s a healthier version made from dark chocolate and the pistachio is the crunch. I have also tried the cookie from Naturally Vero since they had an option to get it with my meal prep delivery. They do make a chocolate bar  but they don’t deliver it. I like the cookie filling but find it was too heavy in the cookie. Juice Dudez also has the filling in a mango pudding which is excellent but they don’t do a vegan chocolate yet. I am hoping I will convince them or any other Ottawa vendor to make one some day. In the meantime I had to make one myself.  I have asked my vendor friends to make me one even sent them the recipes but no one has yet. I really wanted to try a proper unhealthy version just once. I didn’t want to make it myself because I knew I would want to eat it all. I always gravitate to things that are pistachio flavoured. It’s ...

How did I make money getting free stuff



 

Starbucks had a promotion earlier in the week if you bought a drink they would give you a free drink coupon for the weekend. That was the only thing that is technically buy 1 get one free in this haul everything else was free. I told my mom I was going to get my free drink before going to her house so she gave me a shopping list. 

There is a save on foods right next to Starbucks and my purse was full of free coupons. I have been getting a ton of tips on how to get coupons and cash back from Canadian deal finders on Instagram. Even the cashier commented that those were some good coupons. Save on foods is very easy with coupons great place to redeem all the free coupons and I had a great cashier. Save on points are also great in the past I have used them for free flights to Vegas.  

The almond milk coupon came from samplesource. Samplesource sends out boxes with free samples and coupons a couple times a year. They are very hard to get because you have to sign up the day they are released. The samples are so good there is a lot of competition to get them. I got lucky this year. I was holding on to the almond milk coupon because it doesn’t expire for a long time but I can’t resist free chocolate plant milk. 


The gnocchi coupon came from sampler. They have random surveys and samples so you have to keep checking your account and you might get sent random samples. I recently received a box that included the gnocchi coupon and tea bags samples . Also had a free juice coupon but it’s only valid at metro and Sobeys which I don’t have near me. My friend who is in a different province will get that. 

Now the best deal of all. I used a referral to download the Peekage app and got 1000 coins. Then I used 300 coins to get a coupon for free just egg folded. I uploaded the receipt to checkout 51 and got $1.50 cash back. You can use this link to get Peekage app. It looks like it had some fun things to do on it as well.
