More money saving tips

4.  Just because a store is more expensive most of the time doesn’t mean their sale prices aren’t going to be better every now and then. For example, Safeway in Vancouver is, 90% of the time, more expensive than No Frills or Superstore. Every now and then their sale prices do go lower, so be sure to check all the flyers you can.

5.  Bigger doesn’t always mean cheaper. I’ve seen a few stores now putting the price per 100g or 100ml on the price sticker at the supermarket, which rocks my world entirely.  This saves my rusty math skills and also spending hours doing this math myself in the store with a calculator. For instance, today we bought sausages. There was a “family pack” which had a huge sticker saying “Buy MORE, Save MORE!“. When we examined the exact same brand’s exact same sausages in a smaller pack the per 100g price was the same. It doesn’t always pay [save?] to buy more.
