Ok, so this is not so much for August in particular but it needs to start now this month and continue until at least the early spring. ..... ..
DH and I are both students on OSAP however with DH's switch from Mac to Fanshawe this will be his last year on OSAP (he's been on it for the 4 years of his Bachelor's degree and 3 years of his Master's degree so to apply again for a totally different field of study is just not gonna work, they'd never go for it lol). Slightly nerve-wrecking since I have always worked while he's been in school except with the two little ones *and* being in school myself now, that isn't feasible.
Soooo.... because of the significant drop of income we will be dealing with come this time next year, I truly now have the motivation to really beef up my stockpile and make sure I have enough of everything we will need for a substantial amount of time (ideally enough for a year or more!).
I have started making a list of everything I can think of that can be bought and kept for a long period of time. I thought I'd share my list so you ladies could offer your input and advice for anything and everything you feel may be helpful to me as I try to stock up my stockpile! :p

Well you guys will be proud of me-I managed to stumble upon a Safeway in North Vancouver that had big packs of ribs for $5.00, good sized chickens for $6.00 and other meats marked down 30-50% off. So I was able to get several meals of meats for dinners and put them in the freezer at our exchange home. I would say food definitely costs more here than in Calgary and of course we all know how hard it is to find bargains when you are away from your usual haunts and know where all the best deals are. Did find wine cheaper than at home though which was a pleasant surprise. Have company coming from Victoria tomorrow to stay overnight with us so at least I have something to feed them! Have a great long weekend everyone!

Went to another wedding last night. lol. This special couple received a Salt and Pepper shaker with a quote from the Bible about salt (they are religious) with wishes for an "everlasting and flavourful marriage" plus $40 cash. So that is wedding three of four (that I know of) and I have the second of three baby showers upcoming (I organized and purchased a group gift).
My budget strategy for August is to burn some friendships so I have less gifts to buy. lol, jk."There are more important things--friendship and bravery...."

The most frugal thing I'm doing over this next week is staying home and ignoring all the wonderful things going on in our city - there's RibFest, the Exhibition, The Fringe, and FolkFest - no money to participate in anything.
I'm sure our son will take in some of the fun, and I'll live vicariously through him!

Morning All, It's chilly this am, going to hang the clothes on the line, need to swing by and pick up some donations for Project FreshStart at 10AM and then hopefully get back to staining the front of the house (need 2nd coat on the window trims) and 3rd color needs to go on the boards on the end of the house (only 2 boards - but they will need 2 coats). Talk to you gals later.
2019 is the year that we continue to save before we buy!!!
