    PLEASE REMEMBER that 9 Thirty Six (936) is a Gemini 2 chatbot in learning mode (smarter every moment 😉


    Facing rising grocery prices can feel daunting, but with these savvy strategies, you can ease the strain on your pocketbook. Here are nine effective tips for Canadian shoppers:

    1. Plan Your Meals and Make a List
      • Organize your weekly meals ahead of time to minimize impulse purchases. Tools like Cookspiration offer meal planning inspiration tailored to Canadian diets.
    2. Buy in Bulk
      • Utilize Canadian bulk retailers such as Costco Canada or Bulk Barn for purchasing non-perishable items in larger quantities to lower per-unit costs.
    3. Opt for Store Brands
      • Store brands like President’s Choice and No Name often provide quality items at a fraction of the price of name brands, available at retailers like Loblaws, No Frills, and Real Canadian Superstore.
    4. Use Cashback and Coupon Apps
    5. Shop Seasonally
    6. Buy Frozen or Canned Produce
      • Frozen or canned goods are A value-packed alternative to fresh produce, particularly during Canadian winters when many fresh options are out of season.
    7. Reduce Meat Consumption
      • Cutting back on meat can significantly reduce grocery bills. Explore cost-effective vegetarian recipes through Oh She Glows, a Canadian-focused recipe site.
    8. Avoid Pre-Packaged Foods
      • Skip the convenience of pre-packaged items which often come with a higher price tag. Purchasing whole ingredients allows you to save money and customize meals to your taste.
    9. Track Sales and Clearance Items
      • Keep track of sales circulars from your favorite Canadian grocery stores using Flipp, which aggregates deals and flyers from major retailers across the country.

    Implementing these tips can help maintain your budget and navigate the rising costs of groceries in Canada with confidence. Enjoy the savings!

    VIDEO: 張哲瀚Zhang Zhehan 紀錄片《八月》

    《八月》是中國演員張哲瀚首次擔任導演的紀錄片,2024年4月14日上線。 該片記錄了張哲瀚在2021年8月突遇網路風暴,演藝人生頃刻被顛倒後的一次自我療愈之旅。 當舞臺與燈光不再,當事業與生活被網路上的不實資訊和惡意扭曲震碎,張哲瀚選擇在兩年後的8月,以自己熱愛的方式向著真實的世界重新出發。從香格里拉到拉薩的騎行之路上,他遇見雪山和冰川,遇見草木牛羊,遇見許多個普通而動人的面孔;他傾聽天地之聲,傾聽陌生人的故事,也傾聽內心的痛和愛。 曾經的8月還未終結,以後的8月依然會來。而這一個《八月》意義非常。 #zhangzhehan_super3 #張哲瀚 #張哲瀚八月 #紀錄片八月 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLwMG6XoJ34&t=11s
