Also, this past weekend we went down to the states (Fargo, ND) to try and find some good deals. Although we missed out on a several great Black Friday deals, we did get a lot of our Christmas shopping done. Plus, I had the chance to double and stack coupons at Hornbacher's and Sunmart (my first time). I have to say...it was a lot of fun. As for the amount I saved, I think I could have saved more (since it was my first time, I had a bit of learning to do and made a few mistakes along the way), but overall we did well - especially compared to what it would have cost up here in Canada. I can't wait to go again! Next time I'll be tackling the grocery stores that double coupons, in addition to CVS and Walgreens (I didn't get a chance to go to either this time around).
Today I will be announcing the winners of three (3) giveaways!
