I love to save money. Some of my friends would describe me as being “frugal” and it’s true. I won’t argue.
I’ve been like this since I was little. I just loved to save money and not really spend it! Now I spend it but I’m careful about how I spend it and think hard before making purchases.
Not to mention I do a fair bit of research to find out if I’m getting the best price.
Thankfully there’s apps these days to help me accomplish this. Lately, I’ve been using RedFlagDeals.com (RFD) which is a leading deal-finding app and website that syndicates geo-localized bargains, and hosts user-generated forums to help Canadians find the best deals around.
Seeing as it’s back to school season – I think this app will come in very handy for many households!
This app has many amazing features…take a peek:
I can find all the hottest deals and more. Here’s a few of my favourite features that are on this app.
-I’m able to personalize the deals (BRING IT ON!!) and flyers I’m looking for. For example, I live close to a Metro Grocery store so I can easily set that particular grocery store as a “favourite” so I can see all their flyers first!
-I have the ability to get the latest news, information and tips that matter to me. Here’s a screenshot which demonstrates this. Love knowing what’s going on with some of my favourite retailers.
I’m also able to use a search engine that will feature freebies (yay) and coupons too. See the coupon at the bottom for the CNE? Well I know for sure that this freebie will interest many (many) people…including me!!!
Hope you get a chance to download this app soon for the chance to save, save and save some more!

Recently I’ve been introduced to two products that are making my life SO much easier more organized.
Item #1: P-touch Label Maker (by brother)
Here’s a few features that I’m loving:
• Large, easy-type keyboard and convenient top loading tape design. (seriously it took me a few minutes to figure it out – and trust me I’m challenged in this area)
• Large, graphical display which lets you view text and layout before printing.
• Intuitive one-touch keys support quick, easy label formatting.
• Create detailed labels with up to 2 lines of text and graphics.
• Create labels for indoor or outdoor use. (very cool)
• Split back tapes for easy peel and stick. (easy peasy)
• Select the language of your choice
• 1-year limited warranty and free support for the life of your product.
I immediately used my labeller to help me organize my closet. Now I can find my upcoming Chanuka Decorations in seconds. #happydance
Plus I can find my cords in seconds. (how on earth did I accumulate so many cords?Don’t ask!!)
Item #2 – A Mobile Colour Scanner (by brother)
As a sales rep, I’m always asked to scan forms and receipts back to head office. I hate to say it but it takes a whole whack of time when using the scan feature on my printer. Not to mention as a blogger, I’m also asked to sign the occasional contract and send it back to a publicist. Now I can use this handy printer that takes no space at all with no need to click, click, click (you know what I mean)
Again, this scanner has some cool features:
• Scans up to 8 ppm in both colour and black&white
• Powerful software bundle including document and business card management programs.
• Compact and lightweight
• Powered via the included USB cable – no wall outlet required (HOW COOL IS THAT?)
• Easily scans documents, photos, plastic I.D. cards and more, from business card size up to 8.5″(W) x 32″(L)
I’m over the moon how small and compact this scanner is. The fact that it doesn’t require any batteries is a huge bonus!

This sounds crazy but I live in a 950 sqf condo and own three printers. Actually that’s not true anymore – I got rid of the ancient printer from 5 years ago and kept the two hi tech printers. But truth be told, I’m sure I will be down to ONE printer soon as my NEW Epson is nothing short of brilliant.
The Epson Expression ET-2550 EcoTank All-in-One Printer comes with up to two years’ worth of ink – enough to print 4,000 black and 6,500 colour pages.
Say goodbye to your fear of high-cost colour-printing and out-of-ink frustrations; (which I’m sure you have all experienced).
Say hello to:
-No more out-of-ink frustrations
-Freedom to print in colour
-Innovative, super-high-capacity, refillable ink tanks
-Printing thousands of pages without replacing ink
-Ultra low-cost replacement ink
Notice the newspapers on the floor? This was a precaution when the bottles of ink were being opened up and poured into their respective tanks. Yes – a little messy but well worth it!
I’m not kidding, the printer was all set up and ready to print in about 20 minutes. How cool is that?
I think it’s great that this was included with the instructions however I didn’t need to use it. Yay.
Plus I can print directly from my tablet and smartphone too.
I’m really looking forward to never running out of ink and printing many (many) copies easily and efficiently.
Oh how I love technology.
