There is a thread on SmartCanucks about people’s couponing resolutions. For me these are less about starting on Jan 1st than just something I need time to organise that I won’t have the time to do until the Christmas break.
- A better organization system for my coupons as I have outgrown my current accordian file. Over the last few weeks I have tried a few systems and I think I have settled on a binder system but had to order the sleeves for the binder (I want a mixture of baseball card sheets for small coupons and money sleeves for larger ones as I do not like folding my coupons too many times as it can make them unreadable
- Track spending and savings, a member on SC has a great excel chart for each shop that I semi used this year but I need to include everything in it this year
- Make better use of loyalty programs, I have not spent much at Shoppers Drug Mart this year and yet redeemed for free stuff 3 times this year. If I put a little more effort into it, I am sure I could save a lot in free shopping there
- Maximise on online shopping by using Great Canadian Rebates and/or searching for online coupons and deals before buying
- Keep better track of surveys I am doing and mail in rebates to ensure I get paid for them and do them before they expire as I often leave the forms sitting on my desk
- Keep track of the above monthly on here

Well as short as I have ever had my hair cut. I brought in this picture and said ‘I want this’ and the stylist looked at my hair and told me to go have a coffee and come back and tell her I still wanted to cut it all off lol
This weekend, Wind Mobile had a great deal, you can get a refurbished phone as low as $20 and their $45 a month unlimited plan for just $25 a month for the year. We have talked about trying Wind for a while so it seemed like a great time to try it out, I was a bit worried about paying full price for the phone etc to find some of the reports were true and their service is awful. So I got the $20 touchscreen Huawei U7519 knowing that I would upgrade it at cost if I chose to stay with them but minimising my losses should I decide not to stay.
Today was a great day for freebies, we have treated ourselves out to dinner with the money we saved in July and August doing the challenges but I still love getting stuff for free! My VIP SPC card has a deal for Swiss Chalet. I didn’t plan that, I just seen the SPC card sign on the door and asked what the deal is for cardholders (many food places have a free upgrade in size but Swiss Chalet doesn’t have fry sizes etc). I had a choice of a free soup, salad or cheese perogies – given my love of potato and cheese, it had to be the perogies. They were perfectly fried crispy and not greasy, so a wonderful extra to our meal, they honestly look exactly like they do in this photo from their menu!
