I find shopping around helps me save money even when I pay a bit more on gas to travel around town. I don't often leave my local town because that would make no sense since it would use to much gas to be financially responsible. The best thing is you can see if another store is offering the same item for even less that week! I love the flyers but for some reason my apartment building doesn't get them so I get them online and it allows me to get them. This might also help you if you live in a rural area which doesn't get the flyers.
Flyerland.ca breaks the site down into twelve different tabs which let you choose which is best for you or what you are looking for. They break it down into Home, Stores, Products, Flyers, Deals, Coupons, Brochures, Catalogues, Travel, Contests, Forum and Features. You can subscribe to each tab through any RSS reader like Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird or Google Reader. The good thing about this is if you live in a rural area where you don't get high speed Internet you can download the RSS feeds and read them off line so you don't hog your phone line while on the Internet checking the adds.

Thanks for this...
I got up this morning wanting for nothing, now after an hour of browsing, I've decided I need another job just to buy all the stuff I didn't know I wanted...
Good article! And good comment by Scarecrow.
One does need to be careful to not get sold stuff they don't need. ;-) Why do I want portable sandblasting booth?
LOL Sorry Scarecrow, one of my goals is to help people get the most out of their money if they do need something. I believe that at the heart of prepping is getting the most preps out of as little cash as possible so I figured I'd share a resource that I found helps me. Please if yer content with what you have don't get a second job to buy more than you need. At my stage of prepping I still have lots of tools and gear I need to get my hands on to be more self sufficient.
Guy: Portable sandblasting booth BAHAHAH!! sounds cool but where would you use such a thing?
Thanks for the links, Frazer! We stopped getting the fliers several months ago when private mail boxes in our rural area were replaced with a site box.
