Some of you were asking where I get coupons from. Our local paper has flyers in them certain times of the year.
I order coupons online, doesn't cost a cent and sometimes you can get really good ones. At the moment on Websaver there is a coupon for $1.00 off two dozen eggs. Save.ca is also a place where I order coupons from, and Go Coupons has a lot of Royale paper product coupons. I use them when Shopper's has toilet paper on sale.
By the way I ordered more coupons while looking up the sites!! The cheese coupon I received as I purchased Silani's sliced cheese and there was no paper in between the slices so it was one big lump. I called the company to tell them and they sent me a $5 money off coupon. It doesn't hurt to call the 1-800 number on products that you use and like and ask them if they have any coupons they could send you. Also if you do have a problem with a product call the company and tell them more often than not they will compensate you with either Free Product Coupons or money off coupons.
I also swear by a couple of sites that let you know about deals in Canada. Smart Canucks and Mrs. January are my favourite and I subscribe to both. Although I am not a fan of Facebook, you can find some good deals on there as well.
I know some of these ideas are no applicable to everyone, calling companies is something everyone can do regardless of where they live.

some great bargains given me some great ideas.
Simplyfrugal.ca is another site I like to keep an eye on. It often shares great deals.
Gill, I am not sure if Swagbuck would be any benefit to me where I live, however I do well on getting coupons & free samples from Canada Free Samples on Facebook. I am always quite impressed when you mention the coupon savings you have gained, however again I do not have the same stores available in our area. Great Savings !
Some good saving there!
I get emails from Groupon too, although sometimes it's worth checking that you are getting a good deal, some of the restaurant deals are not so good as you might first think.
I havent got round to signing up with swagbuks yet but i will.
(btw, you spurred me on to try £50 weekly shopping and Friday i managed to still have £11 left :-) Mainly because i used freezer stuff. The money went into my sealed pot :-)
Have a good week x
Isn't the world changing, I barely cope. Never mind, eh!
Thanks so much, Gill, for sharing your coupon ideas. I knew about Websaver but will now try your other "secrets." (Yah, I KNOW they really aren't secrets.)
Ah, I would love to utilize Groupon! It's not worth it for me, as all the opportunities for savings are down south. And if I could find coupons for things that I actually ate or used, I'd be all over them, but I'm VERY particular about my cleaning products and 90% of food-related coupons I don't use because we either a) don't get that particular name brand here, or b) I don't eat it. I still peruse the coupon sites regardless because you never know what will pop up. I love hearing about all the savings people get!
Wow! Shame you're not here in the uk offering similar advice.
Coupons must save you alot.
I love your approach Gill.
Sft x
thanks for the hints! I liked websavers and found some good deals, signed up for groupon (sorry I tried clicking on your referral code and it wouldn't work) but the nearest city to me is a 4 hour drive. I already look at save.ca but rarely find anything there. every little bit helps!
I never thought of calling the toll free number on the item.
Thanks for the tip.
I get Groupon e-mails all the time and need to pay better attention to them, because I keep hearing about the deals that they offer. THANKS for the reminder to get with it and do that. :-)
I hope your weekend is ending on a good note, and you're doing well!
