Forum member Frugal Lisa price-matched groceries at Real Canadian SuperStore to combine store coupons, manufacturer coupons and price matching in one shop to save her around $50 on the items shown above.

Price-matching can take time, you need to make sure the items are the exact matches (size, type, country of origin for fruit and vegetables), but as you can see below, it can be well worth it and save you time going to various stores. (more…)

Forum member skmommy regularly checks her local stores for clearance specials.  While stores have different ways of marking these deals, from pink stickers to boxes of random items at the same price or just a surprise at the cash – it pays to check.

These cans of Enfamil A+ are regularly $31.99, but because they expire at the end of April, had $15 worth of Manager Special coupons stuck on them.  She combined that with a $8 coupon sent from the manufacturer and saved $23 on each can.  She spent under $27 on all three cans, less than the price one would cost.

Watch out for store special stickers if you are doing a promotion with a minimum spend requirement, they often do reduce your total so do not count towards points etc but you can find some great deals, I often check nearby stores when I am early for a meeting or waiting for a GO Train and have found some terrific deals.

Forum member tccl21 does recycle bin walks.  One of her finds was a cereal box with the $5 Gas Card form still attached.  The promotion must have been very popular this year, as Kellogg’s ran out of gas cards and sent tccl21 five coupons for a free product.  She used these to buy five boxes of Rice Krispies Squares which were donated to a local school for snacks.

It is always a good idea to send away for stuff on packaging or even enter contests where you are not the biggest fan of the prize.  The can always be donated and there may be a coupon for participating.  Several companies have tried to ‘make good’ on running out of prizes with FPCs lately, Mars recently sent me five FPCs instead of a pair of Team Canada mittens when they had a glitch in their contest.

Check out the full details of tccl21’s brag here and don’t forget, you can enter your brag and get a $5 gift card if it is featured on the blog!

Live Below the Line is a global poverty awareness challenge that is taking place April 29-May 3.  Participants in Canada will have a budget of just $1.75 per day for five days – a total budget of $8.75

The idea is that you get sponsors and/or donate the difference between your regular food spending to Below the Line (or you could donate in person to a local poverty initiative/charity of your choosing) but talk about it and make others aware of poverty.

Why $1.75?

The international Extreme Poverty Line was defined by the World Bank as $1.25 US dollars a day, in 2005. Our usual response to this would be, “that’s not so small, US$1.25 actually buys quite a lot in most developing countries”. Unfortunately that’s not true – the US$1.25 figure is calculated using Purchasing Power Parity – which works out how much you would have to live on each day if you were living in extreme poverty in the United States. There are currently 1.4 billion people doing this worldwide.
Converting this to the 2005 equivalent for Canada and adjusting for inflation, living below the Extreme Poverty Line today would be the equivalent of us living on $1.75 a day.
