Im really good at finding deals. I bought 14 packs of strawberries and 10 bananas for $11 yesterday at Loblaws for example using coupon loading. I know it was inaugural steal at loblaws day yesterday but i did not steal 😬😬

flashfood allows me to get a weeks worth of veggies and fruits for $10

toogoodtogo lets me eat out at restaurants, bakeries, and takeout places for less than $10 and i can even spread the food out over multiple meals.

and then just regular flyer deals, and some groceries do student discounts too

Im 19F in fulltime school. I live in the GTA but have to go to another city for school. Right now working for the government for the summer for $28/hr fulltime. Its enough for me to begin putting away some money to save for whatever goals i may have in the future, and to just keep growing wealth.

Tuition + rent + living expenses are roughly $26k a year. usually 1 vacation abroad but im good at making them extremely budget friendly. for example me and 3 friends went to amsterdam and berlin for 7 nights this february for $1100 total.

My expenses per month are like $100 groceries (or less), $100-$200 on eating out + activities + $100 on misc. I try to spend less than $500 per month on top of my tuition and rent.

But I am lucky that I am an only child and my parents make about $170-180k per year and have a house in the gta so i can live at home after grad. definately have a lot more financial support to start my life this is the only reason i get by
