Yeah, it's tough. Sorry, don't have a good solution. Best I've done is to write down different things I'll need at some point soon-ish, then buy all those things at some retailer offering free shipping or, noting where I could get them, stopping and getting them as various plans etc take me through the city.
But I'm lucky enough to be able to afford things I don't need yet and sort of have storage space, which not everyone can afford.
Yes, I've been building a database of "things I'll need to buy, but not just yet", and it's cool to discover new Canadian companies in the process!
I don't mind stocking up on things, and traditionally do that with certain items. It's the one-offs that might be easy when you're shopping on Amazon, but are harder to find cost-effective alternatives to, that I'm stuggling with.
Still, every day I find something new and tweak how my money is spent, so it's worth the effort!
Fully agree! I've also definitely started impulse buying stuff based on local or made in Canada etc and then coming home like "huh, well, now I guess we're learning some butternut squash recipes."
