When we first started the Shoestring Shopping Guide in the late 80's, the internet was little more than a hi tech word used by computer geeks. Today, e-mail, websites, online shopping, banking and investment activity, game playing and much more have become routine.

We still write a weekly column that appears in the Toronto Star, and now make this column available through our site. We have lots of plans for this site, so stay tuned as we grow and add more services.

Our mission has remained unchanged - find the best places for you to shop wisely, source bargains, and be 'in the know' when a warehouse sale is coming up. If you have found a gem you want to share with us, please send us a note to: cathie@shoestringshopping.com.
