The Calgary International Film Festival is genuinely world-class. If you haven't checked it out, this year's lineup looks incredible.

Grocery bills have been insane lately. We've switched to a combination of Costco, No Frills, and the Asian supermarkets for better prices. Still spending more than a year ago though.
