Good sense of humor TK!
In your suggestion, you should also have mention about car pooling with 2-3 other like minded folks. To save on gas/toll etc and you know more people in close space also help in keeping the place warm lol.

That reminds me a poor joke of school time:
One day a man saw his friend running behind the bus, when asked about it the friend replied "I am running behind the bus to save money that I would have spent for bus ticket" the man replies "You can save more if you run behind taxi" next day the friend was running behind the taxi.

Ashwani,
In Canada, I was not able to earn much. I had to resort to ideas like this to keep me living atleast pay cheque to pay cheque. I tried my best to find a good job, but I was not able to do so. Though my employer gave me only around $ 15 an hour, I overworked myself in his office for that salary that I was unable to find another good job.

Going to USA for shopping is good. Gas is cheap in NA and when the Cdn $ was at par, I was able to save atleast 50% of the money buying in USA rather than buying in Canada.

One time it was interesting in the Cdn. border as the border guard asked me where I stayed for the night. Instead of telling a lie that I stayed with friends or hotel (in which I might have been asked to give proof like hotel bill or friends tel. no) I told him that I slept in the car. Once I said this, I was taken for further questioning (where I could see people rip of a Black person's car). The guard told me that he does not buy my story but anyways let me go, without ripping my car apart.

Peace by Murali

I am still confused, what do we shop there ? do you people collect a list over the year to buy only on discounted days or from locations like grove?
I think this leads to buying unecessary things.
