We live in Toronto but we have as well cottage in US, just 15 minutes from land border and reason is that we were not willing to spend $400K for so-so house in GTA area instead we decided to purchase 900 sq ft condo in Toronto which is close to my work (only 9km driving to work is saving on gas, car usage and as well time) and we purchased as well another house in US which we keep as cottage. It is a waterfront house with a small beach and wonderful view and we managed to spend less then $360K total. However travelling to our cottage for weekends which is taking less then 2hrs including border crossing is giving me completely different opportunity for saving. I had subscribed to most of the website - store where I am shopping for weekly newsletter/coupons which made my decision what I buy. I like to go for grocery to Tops.co , supercenter Walmart.com and as well to HomeDepot.com , HarborFreight.com (great for tools) and another deals. Not too long a go I manage to purchased a kitchen island for less then $200 USD as much at BargainOutlets.com which the same piece in Canada was twice. I know that at this difficult time I should be supporting Canadian economy but I do not like to pay full price when I can get a bit further with my money. Since I spend my weekends in US after 48 hrs out of country I am entitle to bring up to $400 CAD duty & tax free back to Canada, so I have all my receipts ready for declaration. And I can tell you since I do my grocery on my way back to Canada and most of my shopping in USA I barley reach my $400 dollars limit many times. Thanks for the article, I like to see more people stories and see that I am not only "saving freak" around. Take care Helen Hello,

I love shopping AND saving which is helping me as well be organized before I go to the store.

We live in Toronto but we have as well cottage in US, just 15 minutes from land border and reason is that we were not willing to spend $400K for so-so house in GTA area instead we decided to purchase 900 sq ft condo in Toronto which is close to my work (only 9km driving to work is saving on gas, car usage and as well time) and we purchased as well another house in US which we keep as cottage.
