But that passed and I was able to recognize deals and began to fill my cart the way I do before heading north. I had budgeted a couple hundred bucks for a really big pantry and freezer fill, so I didn&#8217;t do my usual tally of my cart as I shopped. So you can imagine that I was thrilled that after applying the discount I get with my Save-On card and the 15%, I got out of there with a bill of $108!<\/p>\n<p>After, Jody took me down to the Lethbridge Herald office and got me signed up with a couple of flyer routes! It&#8217;s paid exercise that I can do on my schedule on set days and while not a living wage will most definitely help my bottom line. I start right now! My car trunk is filled with flyers and I&#8217;ll be heading off to make deliveries soon as I print off a map. I would never have thought to apply for something like that and I&#8217;m glad Jody suggested it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jody let me know that for some unfathomable reason, Lethbridge grocery stores offer a 15% discount on the first Tuesday of the month.
