Walmart is not considered a grocery by your credit card. It's a department store so you only get 1% cash back instead of 4%.

Bonjour ! You're videos are always interesting and helpful. Thanks. I already subscribed to your both channels and I put like. You also help me to keep up with my English skills. Keep up your excellent work. Greetings from Vaudreuil-Dorion in Québec. nb : sometimes I put the speed of the videos at 1.5 or 2 and I still understand everything even if you speak fast at 2x. I'm looking forward to watch your future videos. Merci !

A other grocery hack I do now is to bring empty cans to the grocery’s recycle machine then keep the receipt and present it to the cashier for the amount to be subtracted from my grocery bill.

Depending on how many people there are in your household, the budget can make sense! Things are really so expensive now, and I'm continuously trying to find ways to cut my own budget as well! All the best in 2025! :)

@@LivinginCanada It's just me! I ditched all organic canned foods, ensure proteins, oikos little bottle protein yogurts. I went back to basics of foods (rice potatos, vegetables, meats -- no more convenient canned foods) and shopping at no frills today my weekly expenses came down from $200 a week to $109. I'm not shopping at Loblaws or Sobeys anymore like I used to. There my bill balloons insanely.

I don't know if this is a hack, but this is something I do.. Whenever there are sales on the personal hygiene or cleaning supplies I know I'll use, I'll stock up on those and I try to keep those purchases separate from groceries. I'll save money on those products, they won't go bad, and I won't be going to the store specifically for those items when I actually need them, meaning I will almost never pay regular price for them. It also means I won't be tempted to buy other things that I didn't plan on or otherwise don't need. I also do that with other items such as socks and boxer briefs. =) The point being, the less trips you make to the grocery store, the less you will spend in general and on things you don't necessarily need.. In essence, it's also easier to stay in budget when you create a budget.

I have the same credit card if you keep 5K in your account (Ultimate package) the fee is waived, I hope you do this. I also have Scotia iTrade which gives me 5 free trades a year with the Ultimate package. You clearly don’t have a Costco membership you will save thousands,I only buy gas ⛽️ from Costco which is about 8-10 cents a litre cheaper which pays for my membership and they deliver. One example is a rotisserie chicken 1.2K is 7.99 at Sobeys it’s I believe 14 or 15 dollars.
@LivinginCanada11 ай бұрын
I actually haven't been to costco, as we don't drive here it would be a bit complicated to haul bulk items. But I heard they also deliver. Thanks for the example, that's a really good deal!

Hello, so your budget is 700 a month for two people? I’m asking because I’ve only been 2 weeks in 🇨🇦 and a couple of months ago someone told me their budget for two people was 500 a month but I seem to be spending more 😅 Btw, your video gives excellent advice. Thanks!!
@LivinginCanada11 ай бұрын
Yes, approximately! Excluding any eating out. But that budget of $700 includes a lot of organic foods and relatively high quality products. I'm sure $500 can work out too if you pick and choose your brands.

The logical math people can measure their food but they still can't control their eating. I'm rather an emotional person who doesn't track any data yet I can control precisely what I eat and indeed I can eat like a computer, yet even Warren Buffet can't stop drinking cokes and eating candy. 🙂
