  CANADIAN MONEY BRIEF  |  FEATURE  |  OCT. 23, 2026 The federal budget is 13 days away, tax-reform calls are getting louder, and “act now” headlines are about to pile up. Here’s what is actually confirmed, what is just lobbying, and what to leave alone. Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne told the House of Commons on Oct. 20 that Budget 2026 will be tabled on Nov. 5 . It is the second budget since the Liberals moved the fiscal plan to the fall, and it lands two days after the U.S. midterm elections. Between now and then, expect a flood of speculation about RRSPs, TFSAs and capital gains. Before you move a dollar, it helps to separate three things: what’s confirmed, what’s being asked for, and what the rules say today.

5 Tips to Save Money on Your Next Grocery Trip

 

Here are some tips to save money while grocery shopping:

1. Plan your meals

Before heading to the grocery store, plan your meals for the week. This will help you avoid buying unnecessary items and reduce food waste. Make a list of the ingredients you need for each meal and stick to it.

2. Look for deals

Check out the discount racks or look out for items that are on sale. You can also use coupons to save money. But be careful not to buy something just because it’s on sale.

3. Buy in bulk

Buying in bulk can save you money in the long run. You can purchase non-perishable items such as rice, pasta, and canned goods in bulk. This will help you save money and reduce the number of trips you make to the grocery store.

4. Shop at the right time

Try to shop at the grocery store during off-peak hours. This will help you avoid crowds and long lines. You can also take advantage of the markdowns on perishable items that are close to their expiration date.

5. Avoid pre-packaged items

Pre-packaged items are often more expensive than their unpackaged counterparts. For example, you can save money by buying a block of cheese and shredding it yourself instead of buying pre-shredded cheese.
