August's Expenses

Sorry for the delay in my posts. But I now have completed expenses for August. Looking at the past three months of expenses, it is showing our total expenses going down... that's good. But I can't figure out why that would be. We aren't adding any $$ into our savings. We have been paying on bills but that is included in our expenses. So, it should all balance out. I need to think about this.

Coupons Websites

I went searching for Canadian coupon websites. In particular, coupons sites for products such as food, cleaning goods, and baby products. I've found a few that seem to have coupons that are usable in the real world with real products. Here are my selections:

Frugalshopper.ca

I ordered coupons from the next site and they came very quickly, no strings attached.

Save.ca

Redflagdeals.com

I've not used the following website for coupons as you have to create an account and I read comments from some users and it appears that some never received what they requested - but that seems to be users from other countries.

Mysavings.com

Allgoodcoupons.ca

We blew the budget

It's our anniversary today - 3 years. We went out to dinner last night and we had whatever we wanted. All total, it came to almost $190 for two of us. (Tom Selleck was dining there as well). Then we headed to the casino where I lost my $20 in about 20 minutes; my husband broke even. We agreed we weren't buying any gifts for each other but the price of the dinner more than makes up for our non-gift spending. We rarely get out to dinner together so it's a rare treat but obviously affects the amount we can pay on our cc debt.
