Just hubby and I in the household currently, with two dckids. We spend approx $400-500/month. We save by going over to the US every second Friday for groceries, especially for dairy and chicken.

Dairy is cheap compared to over at home in ON. We can buy shredded cheese for $4.49/bag, whereas in Kemptville/Ottawa it costs on SALE $5.50 (reg price $7-8). It's crazy. Eggs for an 18 pack is $1.99. There was one sale that was buy one 12 pack of eggs, get the second free if you had your coupon! Thank god for online flyers!!!!

I go to Costco for toilet paper, paper towels, salsa, napkins, etc., and I go with my mom or sister because they have the membership! I scour flyers, and then make the list. I tend to only buy things on sale unless it's an item we absolutely need. Wish we had coupons like in the US though, could save more!!!!
