Save a Loonie - 30 Ways to Save a Dollar a Day! | save a loonie

 Begin Today a Price Book – Knowing the price of things at the best price can easily save you more than a loonie per week – This is a great way to shave off an easy $10.00 or more off your grocery bill.

Use Cash Back Mobile Apps such as Checkout 51 or Caddle for approximately another $5.00 per month.

Make the Best Purchase once – HUH? Yes, do your best to find the perfect product for your problem.  This summer, I ended up purchasing three different Harnesses for my dog. I should have taken him to the pet store the first time to find the best fit for a Harness that would not allow him to pull.

Use the True Dollar Stores: Dollerarama is one! Everything is $1.25 or less! Great for items like containers, Hair elastics, and outdoor tablecloths. Oh and Purchases Spices ( You can’t pay in any grocery store less than that even with a coupon)

Please don’t buy a New Car: New Cars/Trucks lose too much value the day you remove them off the lot. Dealerships make it easier to purchase “NEW” with incentives, but when you sit and do the math – it’s always a money saver to buy a “NEW TO YOU” car.  And don’t be fooled by the 80 months or the term bi-weekly – Start adding up your payments with a total overall cost.

Cut the Cord! Go TV Free: The are so many streaming abilities to catch television shows. I am currently saving $65 per month, and once I figure out my streaming costs vs Satellite Tv.  See How to Get American Netflix
