Canadian Saving Mom

...2023 was a heavy year ❤️‍🩹

There were a LOT of changes, adapting and shifts in perspectives.
I love the feeling of a New Year - a reset of goals and mindset; a fresh start and fresh outlook ✨️

I have SO many big dreams, but in this season of life, making attainable/categorized goals is the best way to set myself up for success.

Here's to a new year and a fresh opportunity to grow, develop, and deepen those roots 🫶

What's a goal you have for 2024?! ⏬️

✨️ Here's a snapshot of my 2023 Savings - using a variety of different methods to get the most out of your hard earned money!
..not impressed by the number? That's okay! It's not the value of the number that matters - it's the concept, mindset, and habits that go along with it.

The thing is , I didn't buy anything I didn't already need/want/plan to buy - these numbers are just icing on the 🎂 - and is me getting MORE out of my money spent.
..and the reality is - every single dollar counts 📣

I know I'm not the only one feeling the pressure of the holiday season...❤️

Swipe for some very important reminders, as well as...

❄️ social media is merely a highlight reel - most people don't share the lows.
❄️ money is NOT a measurement of generosity.

Let me know 👇 if these reminders resonate with you too ❤️

Dollar Stores can be a pretty great place to buy a lot of things - but it's not for everything!

📣 Here are the things I think about EVERY TIME I come across one of these "deals"...

Remember - signage can be deceiving, and more is not always better ✨️

✔️ Save this post - so these become second nature to think about next time you go to buy multiple - to "get the deal"

Tell me in the comments 👇
•what are times you HOPE for a multi-price deal?
•what are things you never buy multiples of?

you guys know I've been talking about brand - and how browsing other options could very well lower your bill...

✨️But, I know there are other things to consider about making a brand choice!

👉 Swipe through to see the main points I consider if I'm going to choose a brand - and if a lower price point is worth it!

What's something you'll gladly buy a different brand of, when the price is right?! ⏬️

here's a post you should SAVE 📌 ..we all need this reminder sometimes.

We are all living different lives, all are in different stages, with different limits and circumstances.
Money well spent may mean something different for you, than someone else.

But at the end of the day - your money belongs to YOU. And is there to serve you. So if that house cleaner, gym membership or weekly night out provide value and happiness to your life (while staying within your budget!) - then - ✔️👏

Give this a ❤️ if you needed this reminder.

✨️...just a few reminders for you this holiday season.

Save this post - so you don't forget. As exciting and special that Christmas is - it's also a difficult and stressful time for some, for many reasons.

So, be kind to yourself 🎄

Which one most resonates with you? ⏬️

🎅 🎄 is fast approaching, and we all know it has the potential to be an expensive time!

I've put together some things to think about when you're shopping for stocking stuffers - as they are something that can add up quickly 💰

Choosing a grocery store can make a HUGE impact on how much your groceries cost 💸

A few things to consider when you're choosing your grocery store(s)
🍇Proximity
🥕Affordability
🍓Extra Offers (ex points programs, price matching policy)
🥦Expectations (ex quality and reliability)

Everyone has a different stage of life and set of circumstances - so my best advice to you is make sure all of these align with your values and expectations - to ensure you're spending your grocery money wisely 👏

I am definitely a and girl, with a little sprinked in. ..and if I want bakery blueberry bagels then I swing into 🙃

✨️ Where do you typically grocery shop?!

typically has a Prime Days event once a year - but they've recently announced another 🥳

📌 Amazon Prime is a membership based service that offers expedited shipping, Prime exclusive deals - and includes other subscriptions like Prime+ TV and music.

These Prime Days events offer a TON of huge price drops and sales exclusive to Amazon Prime members!

I'll be sharing ALL the Prime deals in my stories 🎉

If you don't already have Prime - this may be the perfect time for you to use that 30 day free trial! ✔️

...this is a post you should SAVE if you need a reminder that every little bit you save - MATTERS 👏

Next time you second guess price matching, or waiting for a sale - it all ADDS UP.

Living the budget life does mean you all of a sudden have a ton of extra money - but intentional choices to spend LESS, and subsequently making your money go further 📣

📌 Each week I am going to start asking you guys to share ONE way you saved that week - because while it may seem not share-worthy to you - every little bit counts, and it all ADDS UP!

So tell me.. what's one way you saved money/spent less this week?! ⤵️

🍎 Need inspiration for those kiddo school lunches?!

I've put together a list of many ideas for when you feel stuck💡
📲 Click the link in my bio & scroll down to the free download of a ton of ideas!

📌 You can either download and screenshot right there on your phone...
📌 or download/print and keep in your kitchen for easy access!

There's even a space for you to make notes or add more ideas ✔️

Please give this a share in your stories so all the parents can use this ideas list - and don't forget to give me a tag 🥰

🍎 as many of you know, this hits me right at my stage of life. My older starts school for the very first time in September - so I took a deep dive to find out what kiddos ACTUALLY need for going back to school.

I spoke with a number of parents, and teachers - who are well versed in this topic - with all the same theme...
𝙆𝙚𝙚𝙥. 𝙄𝙩. 𝙎𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚 - 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙙𝙤 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙨 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙖𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙢𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙙𝙤!

📌 Check out my list for a go-to list if you feel the back to school pressure creep up - and... ask yourself some questions 👇

1️⃣. Do we already own ANY of these things?
2️⃣. Are they usable? Fit? Intact?
3️⃣. Could a simple wash liven them up - or even a little laundry stripping as taught us so well!

📣 If you do need to buy new - shop the sales, and do your price research. There are so many options out there, so make sure you have your budget/plan set before you start spending.

❗️This does not have to break the bank ❗️

If you need inspiration or affordable product ideas - I've made a Back to School list over in my Amazon Store.
⭐️Link is in my Bio!

Let me know your thoughts on back to school shopping (or if I missed anything on the list!) ⏬️

Share so your parent-friends can take a little pressure off too!

👋 Sharing this here for those who may not know..
I own and run Canadian Saving Mom , and within that business I also run a consignment program. Simply put I sell others items for them - to get money back for their items! I currently have a ton of inventory available - all in albums Canadian Saving Mom - Consignment Sales - Kingston, ON / Shipping Available
Shopping this way is supporting local - both myself (a hard working mom) and the clients which consign with me (most of whom are also Moms!). It's an affordable and sustainable way to shop - and I promise the prices are unbeatable.

With prices going up - shopping second hand is an invaluable way to make the most of your money.
Feel free to check it out 🥰

Wishing you all a Happy Easter 🐰💕🐣

👉 have you ever come across an amazing price on and swiped on by seeing that "temporarily out of stock" notice...?

International Women's Day 🙌

This day is a very big deal. It wasn't until I got older that I realized the true importance of strong women. There are some incredible women in my life - who have paved the way, and taught me the worth of women. We can build empires, support our families (in all aspects), our bodies are literal vessels for human life - and get back to business.

While I do not have daughters, my goal is to teach my boys the value of women - how to hold them to the highest regard. To provide endless respect. I intend to pave the way for my boys to know all of what women are capable of.

Limitless ❤

When you have a haul planned - there are definitely better times to do so!
