Best deal was the Downy Fabric Softener, as I ended up getting it for free; due to SCOP.
Also got two loaves of bread and a jar of raspberry jam and paid $3.49 for all three (look for the coupon in store; I found one on the Smuckers Jam this week)
I am astonished at the price of lean ground beef (mince) $3.99 per pound. It has doubled in price. Asked the butcher if he had any beef or calves liver, and he is having trouble finding either. Luckily I don't eat a lot of red meat.
I have mentioned before I am a member of Swagbucks. Its a way of earning things for free. In my case I cash my Swagbucks in for Amazon.ca e-Cards. This is available to a number of countries now, including Britain and Australia. If you want to look into it more please click on this link This is my referral link and I will earn some more Swagbucks if you do sign up. I generally "earn" between $200 and $300 worth of Amazon e-Cards per year, for doing very little. You can earn more if you do more surveys, play more games, or participate in other things. If you have any questions or want more info just let me know. Personally I am all for getting things for free. I plan on saving mine up to be cashed in nearer Christmas.

I LOVE it when someone saves so much money! You are an inspiration!
Sounds like you're saving a lot Gill.
Have to say I don't do Amazon at all due to their terrible employment policies & working conditions in the UK. Not a good company. Might be different in Canada.
Sorry if I sound political but I try to support companies that treat their employees well. Hard to do these days & with companies like Apple avoiding paying their taxes.
I enjoy reading your shopping adventures...great for the free downy. I wish stores had to do it.
I have tried swagbucks, but I must be rubbish at it - I never seem to get any points :(
It sounds like you're saving a good deal!
I love a bargain hunter. And I love getting me some bargains too xx
This is fantastic, Gill. Milk here in Montreal for 4 liters is $5.90. Thanks so much for sharing your list and prices! :)
Hi Gill
