Click on the photo above to watch my January 4th interview with Lisa Dutton at Global Saskatoon Morning News. Our topic was cutting costs in 2013 and simple ways that everyone can do it!
A short tip sheet (which you will find in the video):
1. Use coupons! I listed three sites to visit to get the most useful ones here in Canada.
2. Collect points and redeem big with store rewards/points cards (I love Sobey’s and Shoppers Optimum!)
3. Credit card rewards cards – as mentioned earlier this month, I managed to pay off my credit card debt and am now looking for the best rewards card out there. I share which rewards card I’m leaning towards in 2013.
4. Kids Eat Free! I highlighted some info from post on restaurants where kids eat free post earlier this week.
Great interview and great tips! Hope 2013 is an awesome year for you!
Great job! Lots of awesome tips
Thanks for sharing!
I look for discount codes online before buying anything online.
Awesome tips. I’m big on reward and points cards. My hubby likes the cash back credit cards and the PC credit card for free groceries. I’m going to look at the coupon sites you suggested. Thanks for the helpful saving ideas.
Great tips, I already #2 + 3 and love them!
LOve the coupon sites!! Thanks!
I am a big coupon user and will hold on to many of them to us for when that item comes on sale. Most stores in my area will not accept coupons that I have printed out though which irritates me.
I have started making some of my own cleaning and personal care products. You can make a lot of laundry detergent for pennies per use, and you know exactly what is in it. And homemade fabric softener sheets, deodorant, liquid hand soaps, and many other products. Pinterest is a great place to find some starting places for you to begin.
I used to use coupons all the time but then got out of it some. But I am defiantly going back to the coupon ways. We saved so much money!
Nice job – congrats on the interview! Good tips . I’m already really big on using coupons (never thought I would ever use them, but now i don’t go to the grocery without them – ever!) . Also do all pretty much all points programs available and all credit cards give me some type of rewards. These things really do add up and it feels great when you save with coupons and/or redeem points for free stuff. Birthday freebies are also a good thing to sign up for.
My New Year Resolution is to get out of credit card debt this year so I really liked the tips you suggested. I am a huge coupon user these days and cannot believe how much I save on our groceries and household items, especially cleaning products. I buy most of our clothing off season and that really helps our budgets. I am determined to get financially secure this year!!
I do it all! I think I’ve lived three lives for what I’ve saved! lol
Great tips! I am very much one to use coupons – the savings do add up over time! I am also one to stock up when prices are great (on items I frequently use and won’t expire before that time)..
Thanks for the tips!
Very cool. I always clip coupons and then completely forget them in my purse. One day I’ll remember to take advantage of them.
You have encouraged me to be more vigilant about using my coupons!
Thanks for all the great points! I love coupons, sales. and price matching.
Great Job! I love the points rewards from stores – and coupons – I use them a lot on the things I normally buy. Why pay the extra, right? And if you want an extra boost for a reward for hard work shop like usual, and if you use a coupon, put that money a savings account. It’s awesome to see it grow!
Fantastic tips! I generally will use coupons with a sale item to get the most savings and do price matching whenever I can. Love flyer day
Wonderful interview! I’m all about price matching. It saves so much time too not going to each place for sales
Great tips!
poverty leaves you no choice lol biggest tip, re groceries, buy only what you will use, then USE IT
this was a great segment I’m always looking for places to find good coupons
All the tips were great, we always use coupons when we can and buy nothing unless it’s on sale. Also from years of experience even if that head of lettuce is 4 for a dollar don’t buy unless you plan to use up all 4, waste not want not!
