Come with us to Woodbine Mall in the GTA to see if we can have fun with just $20! It may not be abandoned, but it sure is spooky … 😵‍💫 #StreetCents Challenge #MallDay #Shopping #Budget

Can we make cheap hot chocolate for two people with less than $5? Nothing like sweet treat to make the winter feel a little warmer ☕❄️ #StreetCents #FoodChallenge #Dessert #HotChocolate #Budget

We’re competing to find the best free thing in just one hour! ⏰#StreetCents #Challenge #FreeSample #Competition #Besties

How hard is it to find the latest Suzanne Collins book in a used bookstore? Usually it takes a year before new releases make it to the shelves. But my hunt for a cheap copy of Sunrise on the Reaping ended ... unexpectedly! #StreetCents #BookTok #UsedBooks #ReadingList

Nothing hits better than a sweet orange and its vitamin C during winter! But shopping for the sweetest orange can feel like science, so we put to the test colour vs. weight vs. bum bum?!?!? Thanks for sharing your research @🦕 Rawr It’s Paige 🦖 #StreetCents #FoodChallenge #FoodHacks #Orange #TasteTest

What’s the best watch for men on a tight budget of $100? If you want a classic, well-made piece that will stand the test of time, you need to shop smart and look for quality features. What do you think of the Fossil watch we picked? #StreetCents #Shopping #WatchForMen #AffordableWatch #WatchTok

Asking for free samples at the mall is basically rejection therapy ... but in the end, I was pleasantly surprised by my zero spend sample haul! #StreetCents #Challenge #FreeSample #MallHaul #BeautySamples

Can we make a delicious lunch for three people on a $5 budget? We had to get creative with soup, shop the sales and experience frozen spinach for the first time! Would you eat this lunch? #StreetCents #FoodChallenge #Lunch #MealIdeas #Soup

I tested the viral hydrocolloid pimple patch skincare hack, but does it actually work? Dermatologists say yes! It’s the same as Mighty Patch or Starface, just way cheaper (unless you’re using the micro-dart version). They will absorb fluids out of broken zits and hopefully stop you from picking at them! #StreetCents #PimplePatches #AcneSkin #Skincare #SaveMoney

What's the most useful thing to buy on a $10 budget? The theme is "organization" and the winner of this one is pretty clear. Or is it? Contenders: No Frills, Dollarama and Uncle Russell’s Liquidation. Everybody's so creative! #StreetCents #Challenge #Fun #OrganizeWithMe

The Street Cents team tries each other’s morning coffee orders ☕ #TasteTest #Coffee #MatchaLovers #Friends #StreetCents
