    I wish we had recycling where I live but there is nowhere to take recyclables. I love that you got so many groceries for free by recycling!

    Nothing like this in UK we just recycle into our designated recycling bins and the council take it away on bin collection days so we have a green bin for garden waste blue is for plastic and glass together and brown is for cardboard and paper and our black bin is anything else. Amazing you got so much for free. 🛒🛒🛒❤❤❤

    I will say American coupons are pretty fun. These days, you can use digital coupons and get some good deals. I put in a grocery pickup order at Kroger (a common US supermarket), used digital coupons, and ended up saving $13.75 making my whole shop less than $50 and I had a coupon that gave me 10x gas points so I got 60¢ off per gallon at the store’s gas pumps!

    Where we live in Colorado they don't have the bottle redemption, when I lived in New York I would take in my bottles and cans and get 5 cents per can/bottle. I saved up enough one year to buy Christmas dinners and gifts for 3 entire families plus my own. If I had your family I probably wouldn't have been able to do the 3 families extra but I have always done my best every year to bless at least one family with dinner and gifts. It just feels good.

    That’s the way to go… years ago a work colleague would get his family out every weekend to collect cans, he would collect from work and his wife to they took their family of 4 to a big trip over seas after 5 years of collect bottles and can in Victoria.. trip was to Italy.. it payed for the airfare they save for the accommodation and spending money … just seeing your haul it’s really not that much bang for the money.. with the prices now… TFS.. all the best .. your are a very good steward of the household funds and economics… very well rounder and a great example!….

    When we lived in California my son and I would go by all the rubbish bins by the sports fields and collect the bottles and cans. We would make at least 25 dollars every weekend.

    We nede to pay “a rent” for our bottles. Like for soda/pop/beer, not the chili sauce. For half a liter it’s 2kr, and 3kr for the 1,5 liters. Some have other volumes too, but that is the two different once. One US dollar is about 10kr, and Australian one is 6,65kr right now. We do not get anything for our cans of tins like corn or pineapple in a tin/can. There is a lot of different nationalities here in the viewers so I try to add on different words people use 😂 I hope people can understand.
    We do have some coupons, but it more like one store give me one, and two different others gives me about 6 each for a week or two, then new for those two stores, and not always the first store have.
    I do get store credit though, so I thought here that was the case before the end of the video. We have a coop with different stores under it that have it and another large company with different stores under it that both have store credit for all the stores in the same group, so that is pretty great.
    You need to take advantage of whatever you can get of. Great work here, and thank you for sharing 😊
    Love and blessings from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴

    Brilliant! Your work paid off big time! I remember as a child that soda bottles (carbonated beverages) usually had a 3 to 5 cent deposit. I gathered bottles and cleaned the dirty ones for a few dollars of spending money. I was so proud of the earnings I made!

  • @louisesproul8493
    @louisesproul8493 Рік тому +1

    Here in Michigan in the USA we have a .10 deposit on all pop and beer drinks. We have to pay an extra .10 on everyone we purchase, then return the empties to get our dime back. We are only allowed to return $25.00 at one time. In June of 2020 I got a new car. It was the first time I had a car in 19 months. I had $45.00 in returnables saved so I had to go to 3 other stores to return them all. People here we're posting on Facebook , I'll buy your cans for .05 cents. So people were selling them to other people. Everytime I go to Walmart there's a lady with a pickup truck bed full of bottles that she's bought.
    For me it's a savings account I use when I need the money.

    This is a great idea. I do this and also use my Woolworths “dollars” as well. I have found it really helps with the Christmas budget.
    I have also used these same ideas when we go on holiday. Having 5 children we make most of our meals while on holiday and have a couple of planned meals out.

    Not everyone has redemption on bottles. When I lived in Victoria they don’t have that. I been up above your area for over a year close to Rocky and glad they have a recycle ♻ canter here, I’ll have to keep a lookout for bottles, although everyone has the same idea as you. Blessings and a merry Christmas

    I thought you would have redeemed your Woolies points but instead you claimed back the $0.10 you paid on each bottle initially. That doesn’t make your groceries free, you paid for the bottles/cans as well as petrol to the return and earn just to get your own money back.

    Off topic. Here in America the govt seems to not care about our health (I hate to be negative, but it’s just an observation) and they allow “enriched” fake vitamins in our wheat products. I was trying to look and see if your breads and pastas also had that in there? We get food from Aldi and most of the time, the wheat from Germany that was imported DOESNT bother our bodies. I think it’s because of their country not enriching the wheat. So I am curious if your breads are enriched?
