I am getting the hang of this!

I am sooooo becoming aware of the prices and the fact that "I can get that cheaper at another store", "I have a coupon for that" and "I can't wait for that to go on sale". I couldn't wait to go shopping this morning, I had to stop at Canadian Tire for some garden lights Sale $3.75 from $15.99 (bought 12 for my hubby).

Wallmart

You sure are getting the hang of this. Isn't Smartcanucks great? I come here more often than my own email AND Facebook combined...

I love the deals, the savings, the people, it's a good feeling to come here. REALLY!
Congrats on your finds!

Well done!! I have yet to use a price match but I know the "I have a coupon for that" etc. feeling...this really is addictive, LOL.

Reminds me of the revelation I had several years ago about how much my daily coffees were costing me - I had this flash of "OMG, it's *not* $1.50 a cup...it's $1.50 a cup of my NET INCOME...so it costs me THIRTY PERCENT MORE!! I have to earn $1.95 for this damned cup of coffee, and I can make it at home for about $0.30!!".

All very obvious when you sit down and think about it, but my forehead hurt for about ten minutes from the massive slap I gave myself when I realized what I was doing to my finances.


My BF thinks I'm nuts to use all these coupons. I think he secretly feels like only people who don't have enough money use them, and that if I can "afford" not to, I shouldn't...he hasn't come to the realization that I'm saving at least $100 in after-tax dollars every month or so - and that's not much by most SCers' standards!

Joke's on him...I'm putting my coupon savings into a rainy-day fund (just in case, who has job security nowadays?) and an RESP for my new niece.

Keep up the good work!!
