My theme for this months seems to be to save on groceries and hydro, both bills in our family are so over the top that I still don’t quite believe what we are paying.
I used to be such a good grocery shopper that I could tell you to the penny what almost anything in the store cost, but that was back when the prices where on the cans. Now it is so much harder as you don’t get the reinforcement of knowing the price when you take it out of your cupboard, or to compare one store from the other quite easily by looking on your own shelves.
So I have started to seriously once again shop the flyers and search out coupons. I am convinced that by applying myself to this and my garden, there is substantial money to be saved. That is all money that my husband and I don’t have to earn to cover bills. Makes good sense to me.
And I’m sure the result will be healthier eating therefore better health and energy as well. Good deal!
There is a Canadian coupon site that will provide some good coupons, you just tell them what you want from their site and they send them to you. I find it hard to find Canadian coupon sites.
This one is save.ca
I know there are a lot of good US coupon sites but I can’t recommend any since I don’t use them. Please feel free to post any US or Canadian coupon sites in the comments. I’m sure we’d all like to save!
Also, I purchased an ebook called Free Grocery Secrets quite awhile ago but have just decided to finally dig into it now.
It is very reasonable, on for 12.95 right now, and has some very unique ideas for getting coupons etc. I’m sure if you apply some of the ideas, you should be able to save that and a lot more over time.
It also has a bonus free recipe software download and a free recipes pack.
A lot of it again, is habit, the more you do it and use it, the more money you’ll save.
Happy $aving :0)
