Help For A Newly Single Mom With 3 Kids

[divinedivagirl]

Hi,

I can use all the tips on saving you can give me! I am currently going through a contentious divorce which is NOT by my choice!

I only have my Child Tax Benefit & UCCB until the court figures out $ for groceries, gas, etc. And I have to pay the phone bill, credit card bill, etc.

High priority items for our family are: diapers, wipes, bread, eggs, milk, vegetables, fruit, meat, butter, toiletries, etc

Please share your money saving tips & ideas with me!

Thanks!!

I have a family member who is going through a divorce right now I suggested that this person take out the rrsp money and this person found that they could take out 8000.00 don't know if this helps but it's a suggestion,sorry to hear about your situation all the best to you.

Call the CC and phone company and explain the situation, typically if you keep in touch with them they are happy to make payment arrangements, they only get annoyed when you ignore them

I did call the CC company and was able to transfer my balance for 1.9% so that will help for now.

The food bank is a good idea too.

Any ideas for inexpensive healthy meals?

Just updated my trade list if anyone is interested, I have a ton of NEW coupons! =)
