Evidence that I'm not a savvy shopper
Just before Christmas, Superstore was selling Christmas packages of two Liquorice Mini Allsorts for around $7 (single packs were $3-something) and I bought a package for my brother-in-law. After the holidays, I saw the same single packs for $1-something and bought another one for him thinking it was a really good deal and it would never get cheaper. Total spent: ~$9 for 3 packs (average $3 per pack).
Today I went to Superstore to get some nailpolish remover and came across one of the savviest shoppers around. She managed to find the same pack of Allsorts for 64 cents! She also found a boatload of pretty boxes of mintsticks for less than $1 each and all of her groceries together – probably enough for two days – came to only $31 and included the six little boxes of chocolates! When the cashier was ringing in the items I actually said “whoa” out loud ’cause I was so shocked she was able to find everything so cheaply. Apparently I’m not the savvy shopper I thought I was.
So how do you find great deals on everyday items?
