Well, sort of............

This thread is for people who are looking for ways to save money. Not everyone is a Hyde or renn.sport and have money coming out of their ying/yang. It's more for struggling students, single parents, cheap Asians, Scotts, you name it. Not a freebies thread, because there's an awesome one for that.

This will be for the announcement of deals and sharing hidden secrets for saving money. Saving money on everyday shit.

I'll start off with something I took advantage of today.

Superstore is having a TV Sale. May not be screaming deals, but deals nonetheless. Starting yesterday and going on for three days, when you buy a television, you get 20 times the PC points. I bought a cheap 32 inch Samsung that was already reduced by 100 bucks and got 20 bucks or so in PC points. On top of that, because it totaled more than $250.00, I got a 25 dollar gift card, which is this week's bonus. The TV is for the kitchen, so a 720p 32 inch was perfect. I have two 52 inch TV's elsewhere in the house for watching the Canucks win the Stanley Cup this year :fullofwin:

Then off I went to Canadian Tire to use my $5.00 off coupon that was in their flyer. It's a scratch and save card with a minimum of $5.00 for free. I talked to the gal at the Coquitlam branch and she already had two customers who won $100.00 each!!

The Grandview Hwy location had three such winners according to just one cashier. The place was buzzing. I should have posted this earlier, but there's about three hours left for this one day promo.

Samples of other deals recently......


Safeway had a coupon for $1.50 0ff 4L milk of any kind. It ended yesterday, but deals like this come every so often.

Superstore had Uncle Bens Entrée Instant Rice packages on sale for $2.00 each (reg 2.79). It was a price match. On top of that, they had 75¢ off coupons, making each one only $1.25 each. This is the stuff that takes 2 minutes in the microwave. Not the lower priced ones where you have to actually cook it. My favourite flabours are the Risotto ones and Curry Chicken. There was a limit of 3 packages, but the coupons didn't. So, I went to a few different cashiers to make it worth my time. The packages had an expiry date of 12/12. Sadly, the price match ended on Friday. Coupons are still good for another week, though. So while the price match was on, the stuff sold for less than half the price.

If you're looking for pop (Coke products). No Frills has them for $1.00 each. If you don't live near a No Frills, use ther flyers and get price match at Superstore.

Damn, I'm sorry, man............ I don't go into any other part of RS. Well, except for *ahem* car audio thread.


........as for meat, No Frills has tenderloin pork for less than 3 bucks a pound (less than half the regular price).

[Okami]

for awhile (about a year) i barely paid anything for my old spice body wash/deodorant + random things like toothpaste and floss..

at london drugs yoy can coupon stack as long as the coupon is for the same product and has a different barcode..

so for example if you had a coupon for $3 off if you buy 2 bodywashes.. and you have a coupon that says $1 off one bodywash.. you can use one of the $3 coupons and 2 of the $1 coupons

and sometimes online sources of coupons will give you the exact same coupon as the printed flyer source.. (but different barcode!) so that's 6 coupons for 2 items.. you still have to pay tax, and some coupons state you cannot stack.. so read the rules to avoid embarrassment :)

happy couponing :D

RFD is useful if you have self control. I usually have a few things I'm on the lookout for, so when I see them come up on RFD, it can be advantageous.

The people who hoard or buy something just to save money... those are the :facepalm: worthy ones.

Thanks for starting the thread, MG1!

[MG1]

Yeah, there's a fine line between hoarding and saving. You need lots of freezer space and keep an eye on rotating stock and keeping track of when things go on sale. With no Frills, I'm starting to get a feel of when and how often shit goes on sale. For example, I love Pom Wonderful Pomegranate Juice. I drink the stuff regularly, but not much. It has a limited shelf life once opened. Ths is why the small bottles suit me. The large 1.7 litre bottle they sell at Costco will spoil, as you have to drink the stuff within 14 days of opening. The small bottles were on sale last week at No Frills for 2 bucks each. Cheaper than Costco. The bottles have best before date of June 10th.

With No Frills and Superstore, their websites give a preview of next week's sale at midnight Wednesday. That gives you Thursday to shop for sale items that will end that day, as new prices start on Friday. Buy the stuff at last possible moment to get it as fresh as possible.

Most of the time, No Frills have two week sales, so knowing the change in prices makes good sense.

Canned goods. You need to know shelf life of items. Like canned salmon, for example. It is edible for a long ass time, but taste and quality deteriorates after a certain number of years. I bought a few cases of Sockeye Salmon for an incredible price (just over $1.40 for 1/2 lb can). I'm a little worried right now, because the kids used to like the stuff, but not so much these days. I have about 16 months before it starts to lose flavour and texture. Must be more creative with salmon recipe's. LOL

Salmon Pouf. Salmon, peas, corn, green onion wrapped in phyllo then oven baked. Throw some Franks in a can of mushroom soup for sauce = magic. I use leftover salmon for this recipe normally as my freezer is usually stocked with salmon but I'm sure canned would be fine.

We should start a leftovers thread in Food and Fine Dining if there isnt one already...

exactly. i was on the lookout for a small 32" for my sister and i saw them have a deal at best buy for a panasonic for $229. it was good timing.

now i'm on the lookout for a cheap 32" LED for myself in a similar price range :P

Scratched a $50 for Canadian Tire on Sat, bf got a Sherwood hockey stick, we got a 32cm TFAL frying back for $19 (reg price $65), 24 double roll Charmin, and a bag of Miss Vickies minus $50 = $8.77 hella good deals, I think most people would've just scratched a $5 or $10

[LIKEABOSS]

One of the biggest things you can do to save money is to limit your driving. Although I love driving, I take public transit most of the time and only drive for pleasure. This alone has saves me tones of money every year which I plow back into my investments-which makes me even more money.

Another thing is to think long term and not short term with your purchases. For example, most people think saving a few bucks up front is smart but in most instances, it's probably not the best move. I try to think of everything in terms of ROI (return on investment) and not just sticker price. For example, I am very happy to pay a few hundred bucks extra for a nice Gore-Tex Pro jacket that will protect me from the elements and keep me comfortable for 10+ years over a cheaper jacket that will offer less protection/comfort and will only last me 2-3 years. With this strategy, I also save untold amounts of time/money by not having to commute/shop so much.

Lastly, by far the best strategy to saving money is to not spend at all. As the author of "The Ultimate Cheapskate" says, always think of your return-on-non-invesmtent. Think of not just the money, but the amount of work you will have to do to earn the bucks to buy that jacket or whatever that you don't need anyway. Do you value the jacket/purse more, or your time more (which, as Emerson says, "is the stuff life is made of"). :D

[TRDood]

Save money = Craigslist for certain items like Canucks tickets, car parts, other toys that would otherwise be retail prices. Also, Ebates is another good place to save money for most online shopping.

Other than that, try to eat out less. It adds up a lot.

[LiquidTurbo]

Maybe I'll get flamed, but:

Being a frugal cheapskate is great, but there has to be a balance between spending and saving money. If you stay at home on the weekend and do nothing but play video games to save money instead of possibly spending some to experience new things or connect with people, or most importantly, spending time and energy that could earn you new income, I think that's an issue.

In regards to RFD, I don't know if you guys know of their alert feature?
You pretty much just put in a key word and any time someone posts a deal with your key word you get an email.

RedFlagDeals Topic Alerts (http://www.redflagdeals.com/alerts/)
(You have to be logged in for it to work)

This has saved me time looking through the forums.
I needed a cheap monochrome laser printer and I just put in "laser printer" and I would get alerts for them.

Ended up buying one for $30 because of the alert as I don't check RFD daily any more.
And this way, you won't get suckered into buying something you see as a good deal.

I heard you can't do it anymore for most of that stuff because P&G specifically added a line on their coupons to prohibit coupon stacking. So while London Drugs may still allow coupon stacking, you can't do it for P&G products... which is the majority of stuff people were able to get for free before.

I did that three years ago when I was unemployed for about a year. It really does take a significant amount of time to collect up coupons for stacking... but I decided to go all out one time and ended up getting paid $4.87 to take $737.33 worth of merchandise.

I'm curious if anyone north of the Fraser (ie. Vancouver, tri-cities, Burnaby) makes these types of trips. When you factor in time and gas (getting to the Peace Arch for me takes about 45 minutes and is about 50 clicks which is about 5-7 litres of gas), is it really worth it to save a few bucks? I work Monday to Friday and so the only time I can get down there is on the weekends and of course, the lineups can take up to an hour. Perhaps the savings are multiplied if you're feeding a family, but to drive all the way down there to save a buck fifty (2.99 vs 4.59 here) for a 4L jug of milk?

I do make large purchases Stateside such as auto parts and tires. The savings on these types of things can be significant which makes a trip worth it. (Eg. Saving hundreds)

I will never, ever, ever again in my life pay full price for toiletries again.

For food I shop at lot at T&T and little asian grocers. I will also never pay Save On or Safeway prices for produce again in my life if I can help it.

Cool! I need 3 led bulbs for my bathroom. The light fixture chewed through the incandescent bulbs, so I replaced with CFL's, which take forever to warm up, causing grief for the lady that doesn't like peeing in the dark for some reason. Maybe the $15 dollar each led's will work. It takes 3, so that cheap light I got on sale is really working out for me ;)

Never buy a light fixture that takes special bulbs. This one takes the small base chandelier bulb, and they don't like hanging upside down.

[InvisibleSoul]

I don't know if it's still going on, but a couple months ago down at the Bellingham Costco, they had ridiculously cheap prices for CFL lightbulbs because of a similar Washington State rebate. All types of 4-pack CFLs were like $5-8 total.

Actually, one more thing here I'll say. It's not shopping related specifically, but it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made to help save money for the family month after month.

We bought a 60s era house, and I invested in a few hundred dollars in insulation and brought the R-value of the house up from 20 to 48. I did the work myself crawling around in the attic laying it all out, but it only took about two days.

Sure it wasn't enjoyable work and it wasn't the only thing I did to make the house more energy efficient, but our monthly gas bill was adjusted downwards by a fair margin the following year after we moved in, so this is paying dividends.

Good move.

You can save a bit by doing it yourself with batts, it's not quite as effective by having a pro-install loose fill, but still makes a significant difference.

Just let me add for anyone reading this, don't let any dumb clerk at HD talk you into renting the attic blowing machines they all carry now. If you want to use loose fill hire a professional or your wasting time and money, someone with no experience will knock down the r-value significantly while installing.

I was only willing to spend the time being an extreme couponer when I was unemployed. It really takes a lot of time to gather all the coupons, organize them, find the deals to use them on, and even going to buy them. That one trip where I got the $700+ stuff for free, I'm sure the aggregate time I spent preparing it was at least a few hours... but now I have enough razors, body wash, shampoo and other stuff like that to last me for years.

Yeah, you can stack one manufacturer coupon with an in-store coupon at Superstore... but I didn't find there was much that you could actually get for free with that.

I'm just a casual couponer now.

Selection is beginning to dwindle, but there are still some deals to be had.

If anyone is looking for a 160GB PS3, Shoppers is having a sale. $249.99, plus you get a $50.00 Shoppers gift card. It is also Spend Your Points event, so $170.00 worth of points = $200.00 worth of stuff.

Holy cow.......... too bad I don't need a PS3.


The deal is on today and tomorrow. I knew about it on Wednesday, but forgot to post it. So solly....... Kensington location has over 5 left as of now. Actually, he said a lot, but said over 5 to cover his ass??. I guess these consoles aren't popular.

[twitchyzero]

which shoppers location has the biggest electronics 'dept' around town?
I always wanted to get a shoppers points card...but their electronics selection is so limited (if any at all) and their products always seem pricey

Not really that pricey. Sometimes they have pretty good sales on cameras and game consoles.

As for size...... it does not matter. They are all about the same. I would say the one on Commercial Drive is one of the worst, along with the old one on Hastings in Italianvile (Gilmore-ish area).

I can't be the only one who takes a GENEROUS helping of napkins when getting stuff at places like Timmies or Subway for home, right?

:alone:

Not for home, but use the "extra" serviettes to clean my messes when cleaning airbrushes and regular brushes. I use paper bags from fast food places for my modelling, too. I tape the bag to the edge of workbench. I throw any rags or napkins soaked in thinner into the bag. The paper bag absorbs any excess thinner or cleaner nicely.

When going through Drive Thru's, I ask for extra straws. I use them to decant paint from spray paint cans. McD's straws are the perfect size when cut in half. Best way to decant Tamiya spray paint.

[Culverin]

Could you elaborate on this a little? I'm not sure what you mean when you say "decant paint".

[MG1]

Could you elaborate on this a little? I'm not sure what you mean when you say "decant paint".

Decant is when you extract paint from a spray can. I just put one end of the straw right up to the nozzle of the can and place the other end into a bottle. The spray is minimized as it hits the sides of the straw. The paint simply flows and drips into the bottle.

Spraying from can is OK, but airbrushing is way better. If I use paint from factory bottled paint, I have to thin it out for airbrush use. If I use paint from spray can, it is good to go.

The only problem with decanting is, the paint is very volatile. You have to be very, very careful. If not, you can have the paint explode on you. If you plan to use regular hand held brush, you must allow the paint to acclimatize itself to the tempurature of the surroundings and release the energy that is in the paint (paint from a can is freezing cold). I wait about an hour for the paint to settle down. Some say 24 hours. In any case, you need to make sure you don't put the cap on the bottle as the paint will build up pressure like a shaken bottle of pop. Here's better explanation.

Decanting Spray Paint (http://www.acmenovelties.net/scale_models/decanting.php)

When airbrushing, I wait only a few minutes to fill the reservoir of my top loading airbrush. I'm very careful not to touch the paint and put only small amounts in at first. You will see paint fizz and bubble. Put anything warm in the paint and it will fizz and foam over like root beer.

All the you tube videos show people taping pipettes or straws onto the spray can nozzle. I don't bother as I do this inside my paint booth. The overspray is minimal. The McD's straws fit right over the diameter of nib on the spray can's nozzle. I wear a good mask when airbrushing or decanting.

I hope this helps............ others can add to this if they wish. Everyone has a different way of decanting paint.

I went to two Safeways in a row and no problem. I don't think they even keep track.


Anyway, I was just at Freybe's factory outlet on Hastings near Victoria Drive. I got some end cuts at $4.95/kilo. They have weekly specials there that are pretty good, but the rest of the stuff is, meh. Anything under $10.00 / kilo is a good price.

Gotta make sure to read the labels, 'cause some of that stuff is so high in cholesterol....... although, cannot say no to a good landjaeger.

[JHatta]

Thanks for the egg coupon!

[rien]

I heard you can't do it anymore for most of that stuff because P&G specifically added a line on their coupons to prohibit coupon stacking. So while London Drugs may still allow coupon stacking, you can't do it for P&G products... which is the majority of stuff people were able to get for free before.

I did that three years ago when I was unemployed for about a year. It really does take a significant amount of time to collect up coupons for stacking... but I decided to go all out one time and ended up getting paid $4.87 to take $737.33 worth of merchandise.

also bought 3 quaker product (select) for a free 1.75l bottle of orange juice...had free product coupons for all 3 quaker products...some free mms too...and some other stuff so the store doesnt feel they were robbed...all in all was a total of a little less than 6 bux

[dyan]

Probably gonna grab some eggs today.. i heard oakridge was sold out? anyone confirm?

[MG1]

Chances of finding any are slim to none. Stores (usually) get their shipment in the morning. The Safeway on Hastings near Willingdon was out of eggs within two hours of getting their shipment. Best to phone ahead. Just in case your local safeway gets shipment at night. Open till midnight - still time left.

Also, to answer the another question, I did use my iPod Touch to get coupon. Hilarious, because all Safeways have free WiFi. All cashier needs is your Safeway Club Card and the PLU (code on coupon). If you don't have Safeway Card, I believe you can use one that you sign up for on the spot.

[dyan]

lol Thanks MG1. Got to safeway. Saw 3 packs left, but someone swapped the eggs so that there were medium eggs in the large container :fuuuuu:

Ended up not picking any up but meh, it was 5 min away.

No Frills is a little better. I like Donald's Market on Hastings. Kins Market is actually not bad. Prices are getting competitive. The produce section at the PoCo Walmart is very nice. The rest of Walmart, however, is not good. In fact, nothing at walmart is cheap anymore. Even their sale prices are horrible.

[godwin]

Donald's for Organics.. heck any grocery store on Commercial will have cheaper produce like Bluejay oranges than (Superstore/No Frills/T&T/Weston family chains). The only cheaper and decent produce from Weston family are items they can get in huge quantity.. ie celeries, carrots or huge bags of potatoes. No Frill's has to be a few cents cheaper than the rest of Weston because they are franchisee which pays to use the Weston supply chain.

A few Italian delis on the Drive have cheaper pasta than the Westons' too... you just have to watch closely.

Donald's has developed a nice niche for itself as the friendly neighbourhood grocer with good produce and a great selection of organics. It's really the type of place that Choices or Capers (before they were bought out by Whole Foods) should have been.

One for the confessions part of this thread................

On my way home after work, I drive by the Brighton Ave. Costco. After a long ass drive, I'm starving. When I get there, I immediately head for the restaurant (more like a hole in the wall). I order their hot dog deal. $1.49 for a huge ass hot dog and refillable drink. At the condiment cart, I carefully unwrap the hot dog and take the wiener out. I then pile on the onions. You can get a lot more on there this way. On goes the ketchup and mustard, then the weiner and jalapeno at top. I fill up drink and take lots of serviettes and a fork, for picking up those awesome onion bits that fall off when eating the hot dog, LOL.

By the end of the meal, I'm out of Diet Coke. so I go and fill 'er up and browse the aisles for deals of the week. I sip on the drink as I hit all the sample carts. By the time I finish shopping, it's time to get one more refill for the road.

I love Costco...........

Either way, that deal is for the model 2140 aka the original Wayfarers. Most of the ones you see people wearing on the street and most of the knockoff ones are of the new redesigned style model 2132 and for a good reason since they're really big and awkwardly shaped IMO

cheap daily contact lenses
no Rx necessary
people with astigmatism is outta luck

quick background on the company
Ron Hamilton invented daily-disposable contact lenses and built the first laboratory in the world dedicated to making them. When Bausch & Lomb (B&L), the biggest eye-care company in the world, approached him for distribution rights he offered to sell them the company and the patent rights.

Following his 5-year non-compete agreement he was very disappointed that the price of daily-disposables made by B&L, CIBA, J&J and CooperVision remained so high that many contact lenses wearers were still selecting lenses that need daily cleaning. Aware that cleaning soft contact lenses often results in discomfort, eye-infections and allergic reactions he decided to re-enter the market with an affordable, high-specification daily-disposable contact lens capable of replacing other brands ... he named the lenses 'daysoft' with the promise to 'Switch & Save'.

Wow, kind of missed the ads from Michael's for this week, but yesterday and today, there's the usual 40% off one item coupon, as well as a 20% off entire purchase coupon good for regular and sale item prices. Not bad, even with the high prices at Michael's.

If frames, for example, are 40% off on sale, you can get a further 20% off. I've purchased tonnes of poster frames and shadow boxes with this combo in the past. It's even cheaper in the US. Bellingham Michael's is across the street from Wal Mart and next to Costco.

Make sure you have US coupons from their US website before you go. Oh, they take on-line coupons from your electronic device, as well.

I purchased a skookum Ottllite from there at Christmas time at a 75% discount.

Please note that clearance items are "as is" price (no other coupons work). 40% coupon is for one single item. And, the 20% offer is for entire purchase.

I think this Saturday only for 4 hours, there is the 20% off coupon.

Boxing day and week was the best. They had a week long 50% off and a 30% off entire purchase offer.

barely anyone goes to shoppers drug mart to buy milk so milk is always on sale there. earlier this week it was $4 off. normally its $2-$3 off. so the end total was $0.29 for 4L !! of course it means that the milk is going to expire soon. but my family consists of four. me, my brother and my parents. 4L is no biggie. for those who wonder which branch i go to, i go to the fraser branch.

That looks like march 31st..

1 day 4 L even between 4 people is a lot :S

[MG1]

^when milk is about to expire, I make pancakes. Lots of it. Once made, it keeps for a day or two. But when pancakes are made fresh, they're so good, they is gone in less than a day.

[LP700-4]

^We also find that the best before date is not 100% accurate, several time the milk has gone bad 1-2 days before the marked date.

Make sure its good to drink before you start chugging :whistle:

[MG1]

As for milk at Shoppers, they sell quickly at my location. Price is lower than Costco, Safeway, No Frills, Superstore, etc.

I always dig for the ones that expire the latest. Will finish it way before, but getting the freshest possible is good. I often see dumb shoppers buying shit that expires in a few days, because they're too lazy to check out the date. However, more dumb shoppers = better for me, LOL.

[dyan]

It's kind of like eggs.. sometimes the eggs inside the carton is broken and I'm sure some people pick them up. LOL

Remove sticker, place on later expiry date jugs? :whistle:

[hirevtuner]

actually milk doesn't always expire on the date stamped, it is a merely a suggestion of when it is best to drink before it goes bad

I had milk go bad a week before the expiry date and I had it not go bad a week after, so it varies

[insomniac]

Best before does not mean expires on.

Best before means the product is best used before blah blah blah.

Expires on means do not eat after blah blah blah

As for the milk my family hasnt had a problem with it haha.

Before you guys think my family is over average in size I'm skinny as fuck and my parents are average and my mom is pretty slim. Both me an my brother drink at least 1L a day and like MG1, my mom makes pancakes, waffles etc and if they aren't eaten, she throws them in the freezer and we just put them in the toaster when we are hungry haha

Even if it expires tmrw, a few cups for $0.29 is a pretty good deal :lol

But yeah, eat at your own risk

[insomniac]

Speaking of dairy products Safeway is having a sale I believe. $2 a block? Limit two for sure though. Not sure but my mom told me to pick some up if I drive by

[Nightwalker]

I lived off $100/week all of last year. For any/everything other than bills.

I like eating boxes of frozen chicken breasts but lately I've been buying family packs of extra lean ground beef that are discounted because they'll go bad. I divide up into 1lb containers and freeze it.

[MG1]

^Yup, freezer is your best friend. If you're on top of things and rotate stock and label things.

[Gh0stRider]

MG1, how often does marks have those sales?

my discount is only 10%...i need more than that hah

[MG1]

At least once a month in winter........ we're due for another 20% off everything sale soon.

Anybody see any website links to coupon discounts for gas? -heard on the news that gas prices can go up to as much as $1.70/Litre in the summer.

[MG1]

I printed out the coupons and headed out to the various Safeways in my area yesterday. No problem getting the eggs. Cashier said the lasagna was a pretty good deal, so I bought one of those, as well. The lasagna is the Safeway Select ones, which are better than the regular stuff they sell. Made in Canada, not any of that US stuff that could be made with "pink slime".

The deals are only good till the end of today, so you need to hurry if you want eggs, pineapples, or lasagna. There were so many eggs left on the shelves this time around. I guess not many people got hold of the coupons. Anyway, the printable ones on WestEnder's site works. All Safeway needs is the PLU code on the coupon.

More info on pink slime, for those who are interested.........

Canadian Tire is having another scratch & save event this Friday, Saturday & Sunday (May 18-20). You should get your scratch card in your local flyer.

Prizes are:
1) $5000 CDN Tire gift card
2) $5 off your purchase
3) $5 M&M meats coupon

If you do the flashlight trick to see what's under the scratch area, the last 4 digits in the bar code can tell you what you've won. The ink is kinda light, so it may be easier to look at the barcode itself (on the far right).

1) 5622 = $5 off, barcode: two thick lines followed by two thin lines
2) 5630 = $5 M&M coupon: 4 thin lines

No complaints about this flash drive.. pretty fast, transferring a 4gb movie at 12-15Mb/s


Flash memory is also on sale too...

Canadian tire has a sale on a OBDII scanner. Half off at $99.

Automotive teacher has one and I've used it a few times. Pretty simple and easy to use.

I'm a Royal Purple fan, but if any of you are Mobil 1 fanatics, Canadian Tire has the 4.4 Litre for $35.99, which is an OK deal, but as a bonus, you get a 1 Litre bottle of the stuff for free. That makes it a pretty good deal. Starts this coming Friday.

Other than groupon, are there any sites or apps that post local vancouver deals?

thanks.

[LP700-4]

Tastygo, Teambuy, Wagjag, Buytopia.

IMO they just get hella annoying after a while. There are some good deals sometimes though.

[SkippyLang]

Everyone in this thread needs to read through this priceless advice:

How to be thrifty like a rap mogul

Living like a rap star isn’t all about lavish yacht parties, flashy cars, champagne and bling. As Houston, Tex.-based rapper Slim Thug can attest, a savvy hustler knows how to “stack” (that is, accumulate funds).

In a new e-book, titled How to Survive in a Recession, Mr. Thug (née Stayve Jerome Thomas) doles out forthright financial advice, using language ribald enough to make your grandmother’s hair curl. He likens himself to a “black Suze Orman,” putting his own spin on basic, run-of-the-mill money-saving principles. For instance, while personal finance gurus like Ms. Orman preach against living beyond one’s means, Mr. Thug puts it this way: “Why would you buy expensive cars and chains if you still live with your momma? Get outta yo momma’s house!”

As the youngest of seven children raised by a single, working mother, Mr. Thug says he learned to be thrifty at a young age, and he never wants to find himself broke again. He carefully counts his Benjamins, in spite of the success of his 2005 debut album Already Platinum and despite collaborating with the likes of Beyoncé and Gwen Stefani.

“Going into the strip club to make it rain 5Gs ain’t ever profited my pockets,” he writes. Nope. This guy would rather make $5,000 trickle.

“I want to teach my people how to be more financially aware,” he says in the foreword of the book, noting that wasting money “is dumb. I want us to stop mismanaging and start stacking.... Oh, and I just wanted a book.”

According to his publisher, Di Angelo Publications, he has sold thousands of copies of How to Survive in a Recession within the first two weeks of its launch. Ms. Orman he is not – or at least, not yet. But there’s no denying Mr. Thug’s money tips are sound and make for entertaining reading.

Suze Orman vs. Slim Thug? We compare their advice:

On home ownership

SHE SAID...

“I want you to be comfortable, I want you to enjoy your house. But a smaller home that fits your needs means a more manageable mortgage, a lower property tax bill, lower utility costs, and likely less time and effort to maintain.”

HE SAID...

“The bigger the house, the more expensive your life is. You have water, electric, grass, pool – all that [excrement]* adds up.... Get what you need, nothing extra.”

On dining out

SHE SAID...

“If you go out to eat every week, go out to eat every other week. Just cut back a little bit, and you will save money.”

HE SAID...

“Those $200 meals add up.... Five days of dinner can turn into $4,000 a month. You end up with $4,000 worth of I’m-hungry-time – not a good look.”

On turning a profit

SHE SAID...

“If you have made a tidy profit and you believe the stock still may rise, you can sell 25 per cent of what you own.”

HE SAID...

“Never spend all your money to get high or drunk.... It ain’t worth it, unless you’re trying to spend your money to flip that [excrement] and get it back plus some.”

On sharing finances

SHE SAID...

“Just because one of you earns the paycheque doesn’t mean that person should lord over how the money is handled. Use your portion to fund a high-yield savings account.”

HE SAID...

“If your girl is saying ‘for us to be together you have to pay this, and pay that,’ then you’re paying for the relationship. You might as well get a prostitute, and then at least you can pick which [lady] you like.”

On prioritizing

SHE SAID...

“Pull out your three most recent bank and credit card statements, circle every charge or debit that is not a necessity, and ask yourself, ‘Can I eliminate this cost entirely?’ ”

HE SAID...

“Why would you buy some expensive-[rear end] rims and your car ain’t even worth that much? It doesn’t make sense. Rims don’t have a warranty on them.”

Quick question......... I'm in LA right now and will start heading back next week (driving, of course). I was wondering how much Crown Royal is back home. Damn, alcohol is cheap down here. Anyway, I don't drink anymore (Easy Does It), so have no idea how much things are. Costco sells a huge ass bottle of Crown Royal along with a good selection of wine. I know how much alcohol I can bring back, but not sure on prices.

I cannot bring back the 3 litre bottle of Crown Royal :okay: will have to settle for the mid size, LOL. It's a gift for a friend, btw.

I guess Oregon is the best place to get stuff, since no taxes.

BTW, since this is the "Frugal Shopper" thread, Costco in the US (California, maybe elsewhere as well) has Sandisk 32 gb Class 10 micro sd cards for 30 bucks - perfect for BlackVue.

If anyone else is looking for these london drugs has them for 29.99 this week aswell. But thats for the "Ultra" 30mb/s ones.

Amazon.ca is selling the "Extreme" 45mb/s ones for $43+ free shipping i went to staples and they happily honored the price match. These go for $150 regular price so def a good deal.

[Sky_High]

^ Wait...Staples will price match Amazon's prices???!
Are they anal about taking shipping into consideration (ie. price matching something that's under $25 and would normally need to pay for shipping)

[axxess]

Anyone got any coupon codes for Contacts? I'm looking to start wearing them again as I get into sports and whatnot for the upcoming fall season!
I've been using a couple of Glasses coupon codes for Clearlycontacts, but I couldn't find any on the contacts, hookups anyone? :D

It would have to be on amazon.CA though not the american amazon.

Im not sure about the shipping really lol i told him theres a cheaper price on amazon he told me to show him, i did, he tells me that there needs to be a shipping cost, i show him the big writing FREE SHIPPING and hes like aight.

Kinda surprised he did it too haha the future shop guy i went to was like nope no chance sorry because it ships out from a US retailer.

Just picked up a 32GB class10 @ london drugs for my Nikon D7000, the scary thing is even when you pop in the 32GB, it can still take about 500 pictures before the card is full -.-

lol.. no wonder my computer is having a hard time editing the images after my camera upgrade...

Was at Superstore yesterday checking out their coupon tearpads. They have a dollar off any IOGO product coupon this week. I mosey on down to the yogurt aisle and I find that they have 200mL bottle selling for $1.17. Sure enough, I get four of them and got all four for 17 cents each. That sht is really not bad.

The coupon expires in late December and the $1.17 is the regular price.

As usual, the coupons will be gone in a few days. Get them now and have fresh IOGO drinks for 17 cents!

The tearpad coupons only work at Loblaws stores. As far as I know, No Frills does not carry IOGO products.


Of course, I took a whole pile of them.......... frugal shopper move, LOLOLOLOL

[MG1]

One more.......... No Frills has Milk to GO for 88¢ each. Not a bad price, but as I got a couple this morning, the price is actually 65 cents!

Expires on March 17 of 2013!

This was the No Frills in Coquitlam (Dennis' No Frills). Not sure if this is the case for other locations. BTW, this is for the smaller bottle, not the large ones......... still a bargoon.

[hal0g0dv2]

wal mart has the big milk 2 go for 99 cents right now

[MG1]

^They had it on sale two weeks ago there, so I didn't even check. thanks......
