It’s almost that time of year again, the time to make up new
fun resolutions that may or may not get done in the New Year. Why not resolve to save money? There are so
many resources you can use to save money, and they can all be a bit
confusing. You might be thinking that
because you’re on a set income, the Social Assistance program or are a single
parent, you can’t afford to do things like stock up. You might think you don’t
have time to spend hours slumping over a table clipping out coupons, and while
coupons might help save hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars a year,
they’re hard to manage and quite time consuming. There are other ways that you
can save money!
When you lower your grocery bill, you can use that extra money to put towards other things that are in need of attention. Things like cash-back apps, and price matching can save you a ton of money on your grocery bill. Apps like Checkout 51, Zweet, Snap , Cartsmart and now Save.ca offer cash back rebates that you can get if you buy items on their offer’s list. After you have at least $20, you can request for them to send you a cheque and then you can cash the cheque and then BAM! Extra money in your pockets!
If you do shopping online, websites like Swagbucks, Viewpoints, InstaGC, and Gifthulk will offer you points that you earn by doing surveys, tasks, polls, and even inviting your friends to join. After a certain amount of points, you can “cash out” and receive e-gift certificates that you can use on a variety of websites like Amazon, the Gap, Old Navy, and sometimes even Babies R Us.
Price matching varies from store to store, but Target has the best price matching policy that I can find. You can price match Canada-wide, meaning if that can of soup is cheaper in B.C. you can show the cashier your flyer (online of course), and they’ll honor it. If you find the Burt’s Bees lip balm cheaper to buy on Amazon.ca, just show them and they’ll price match. Yes, they even price match from Amazon.
Before you turn down couponing completely, just remember that couponing has changed a lot through the years. Most coupons you can pick and choose to print from places like save.ca, smartsource, websaver.ca, and gocoupons. This ensures that you can get a variety of coupons to choose from and you’re not wasting ink on coupons that you’ll never use. Print Smartsource coupons by scrolling to the bottom and printing them out from the Thrify NBer's coupon portal now!
