Always keep your reciepts!

A few years ago, I went Christmas shopping at Old Navy and bought my niece a whole bunch of clothes (at regular price).  When I went to pay for everything, the cashier informed me that that if I keep my receipt and if the anything goes on sale, in the next 30 days, I will receive the difference.  Pretty cool!

So now when ever I purchase an item, I make myself aware of their policy.  So far I have received the price difference from Best Buy, Old Navy, Walmart and Ikea! It's always smart to ask cause you never know!

My deals this weekend! Can you say FREE!!

I am thinking that more and more people are using coupons these days! I went out to do my shopping this weekend and noticed that a lot of the items that were on sale and had coupons that one could increase their savings were gone! Example the Walmart that I went to was all out of the $1.48 Ziploc Evolve Sandwich Bags - so I am hoping they get more in before the sale is done (FYI when you use the right@home coupon B2 get $4 off would make them free).   But I did end up getting some great deals

1. Glade Sense and Spray (websaver coupon) FREE
2. Vector Cereal  (SAVE special deal coupon) FREE
3. 3 travel size St. Yves Facial Scrub ($1.00 tear pad coupon) FREE
4. Case of Diet Gingerale (courtesy of the nice woman I met last weekend) FREE
5. Asana yogurt (Facebook coupon) FREE

At the check out, the cashier told me that she had a lot of people using coupons this weekend! I think that is great, its all about saving where you can. Keep using those coupons, they are just like cash, would you throw out a $20 bill?

Don't forget about my $100 worth of coupons contest! CLICK HERE for more information!

FLOWERS FOR MOTHERS DAY

I love my mom.  She is the best person in the whole entire world, and if I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for her. I know it's a cliche, but I really do mean it. My mom has been there for me, and although I don't need a special day to tell her that I love her, this year May 8th is the day to do something extra special for her.

Flowers are a great way to express how you feel.  I have found this great flower market in Toronto, that has AMAZING long lasting flowers at great prices.  Check it out.  For under $20.00 you can get the most beautiful display of flowers!

Kingston Road Flower Market
966 Kingston Road
Toronto, M4E
Phone: 416-694-9131

COUPON WEBSITES

Coupons are a great way to save money, and when you combine coupons with sales at the grocery store,  money that stays in your wallet begins to add up.  I am sure that many of you have seen or heard about the show on TLC  Extreme Couponing?  I just want to make one thing clear, this is not really possible in Canada, you cannot "STACK" coupons (using more then one coupon for the same product) at most Canadian groceries stores, it's one coupon per purchase/product. However I have heard that some London Drug stores allow coupon stacking, but it's pretty much hit and miss. I will update if I have heard anything new on this.

Before you begin your coupon collecting adventure, here are a few things that you might want to consider; set up a new email address - GMAIL or YAHOO or HOTMAIL.  The reason being is that you may start signing up for different offers and I find it much easier if my saving all are filtered into one separate email address.   To get many of these coupons you will need to register on the websites and order your coupons directly to be mailed to your home. Here are the sites:

www.save.ca
www.websaver.ca
www.gocoupons.ca
www.brandsaver.ca
www.lifemadedelicious.ca
www.rightathome.ca

I will add more as I collect them. I think the above links are a great way to start! So happy couponing!

WELCOME TO MY BLOG

Hi and welcome to my first blog about savings! I am so excited to be doing this. I was inspired by my sister, to actually blog about all the savings that are out there.  I believe that everyone likes a deal, and when I  get a great deal, all I want to do is YELL it out loud.

I think this need to tell the world about how much I saved, comes from my mom. She is the QUEEN of finding a deal.  After one of her shopping trips, she would hold up an item and say "how much do you think I paid for this?"  I would never even bother to answer because I would rarely get it right.

The truth is, we all work hard for our money, and if there is a way of saving some of it, I say go for it! 

I want to share with you all the things that you can get for less and maybe take that money that you have saved on groceries, and spend it on other things that make you happy.

Happy Savings,
Miss Savings Girl
