San Fransisco, CA -- (SBWire) -- 06/14/2012 --Finding ways to save money is high on everybody’s priority list these days. Since the start of the recession, prices have increased dramatically but salaries have not followed suit. Young people are struggling to save enough money to buy a house and families have to cut back on luxury items in order to pay the bills.
One thing that Canadians are reluctant to curb in times of economic hardship is their passion for eating donuts! A history professor from the University of Toronto published a book in 2008 in which he estimated that Canadians consume 1 billion donuts every year. In the United States, the first Friday in June has been designated National Doughnut Day, but this holiday is not celebrated in Canada. The owners of GroceryAlerts.ca believe there should be a Canadian National Donut Day and they have created a petition on their site which they intend to present to Tim Hortons in the hope that the company will help bring National Donut Day to Canada.
GroceryAlerts.ca is a site dedicated to helping Canadians save money with the latest grocery coupons and their popular Canadian coupon policies eBook which guides consumers through the couponing policies of major outlets in Canada.
Founder Steve Zussino is a firm believer in driving a hard bargain. The high cost of living led Steve and his wife to pursue a more frugal lifestyle and ultimately the creation of Grocery Alerts, Steve explains,
“As a family we wanted to cut our expenses but not the quality of our life, so we set out on finding ways to get the products we wanted, at a price that was on our terms. We were able to do just that and cut our expenses in half. GroceryAlerts.ca allows other Canadians to cut their expenses with our vast source of coupons and our resources aimed at making our visitors dollar stretch that little bit further.”
