Simply Frugal Gift Guides

It’s gift-giving season, which means you’re either really excited about shopping for gifts, or in the beginning stages of holiday dread. 🙂

Gift-giving can be very overwhelming. Especially for the person who has everything! When I need a gift, the perfect gift in my mind, is something practical and memorable yet a bit extravagant (something they wouldn’t purchase themselves). Of course, my gift-giving has to be done within a budget, as I’m sure most of yours does too.

Finding a budget friendly and unique gift can be challenging, especially as more and more people may be added to your Christmas list. This year, I want to give you several gift guides that feature fabulous gift ideas that you can shop from!

The Best Advent Calendars in Canada

How to Create a Budget Binder

Aug 2 | Budgeting, Frugal Living

budget binder

(Note: The links in this post may be affiliate links. Read the disclosure policy here.)

A Budget Binder for your financial success

Setting up a Budget Binder in your home is a terrific strategy for staying on top of your finances.  It should not only be a record of what is spent, but it should include your estimations for what will likely be spent in the coming year(s).  This binder or manual should be a go-to for all of your questions regarding what you can afford and how long it will take to reach your financial goals.

Here’s how to create a Budget Binder:

1. Find a binder that works for you. I really like this binder, but any binder will work. I would choose one that has at least a 1″ spine width.

2. You will also want to have some tabbed dividers so that you can separate your budget binder into sections. These Removable Index Tabs are perfect to add to each section. The tabs are writable and repositionable so you can move them around or use the same one if you need to refresh the page.

3. I like to divide my Budget Binder up by months. (One section for each month of the year, January – December) In each section/month, I include a Monthly expense tracker, a Monthly budget and bill tracker, a Monthly debt payoff tracker, a Monthly reflection sheet and Month at a glance calendar sheets. In the back, I have a yearly finance goal worksheet and spending trackers.

These pages can be found in The Budget Planner:

The Budget Planner

I have created an easy to follow printable budget planner that takes the overwhelm out of budgeting! Use this planner to dream about yearly financial goals, track your bills and spending, discover what you did well, what you need to improve on and so much more! This planner will help keep you focused and ensure nothing is missed.

Get the Budget Planner here!

4. Also in the back, create a section for account information and include names of financial institutions, addresses, contact information, passwords and any other details that would be worth having at a glance.

5. You can also add pouches to hold receipts, a page to record prices on your favorite items, or anything else that might be useful in keeping your family in the black!

There you have it! It’s that easy to set up a budget binder. Do you keep a Budget Binder? What pages do you keep handy in your family budget binder?

Amazon Canada Prime Day Deals

Jun 25 | Canada Deals, Frugal Living

Amazon Prime Days are coming! July 8 – 11, 2025 are going to be GREAT for finding deals!

To take advantage of the deals, you have to be a Prime member. BUT! If you haven’t been an Amazon Prime member in the last 12 months, you can sign up for a free 30 day trial!

To sign up for the Amazon Prime free trial:

  1. Go to Amazon Prime.
  2. Select Start your free trial.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions if prompted.

In the mean time, here’s how to get ready for Prime Day:

  • Make sure you’re a Prime member. The best deals will be Prime exclusives. (sign up for a free trial above!)
  • Make a list of things you’re shopping for. Think of birthdays, Christmas, essentials you use every day, and even “want to have” items. This will help you to remember what you’re shopping for and stay in control of your spending.
  • Add items to your Amazon cart that you are hoping go on sale. That way, if they drop in price, you can find them quickly.
  • Bookmark or keep my Amazon Storefront page open all day so you don’t miss a deal. I’ll be updating it many times throughout the four days.
  • Follow me on Instagram and watch my stories for the hottest deals.
  • Alternatively, you can join my Facebook Group, Frugal Finds in Canada, if Facebook is more your thing.
  • On the days of the sale, check out multiple times rather than waiting for a full cart. Many deals sell out quickly.
