Did you happen to catch the TLC show about the extreme couponers? It was a few weeks ago, but there are some clips online. The show profiled people who are really good at using coupons to get free groceries/products. Check out this clip of a woman saving a pile of money at the grocery store:
I love the idea of couponing but I haven't really gotten into it beyond checking the weekly grocery flyers. I have clipped coupons, but only for products I already buy, and often coupons that come in the mail are for things I would never purchase. The show was inspiring though, and it made me search around the internet to see what kinds of deals/coupons are out there. The internet is FULL of couponers, and the following are some links to some Canadian couponing sites/deals.
BLOGS/FORUMS:
Red Flag Deals: I've known about this site for a while, but the Extreme Couponing show pushed me to take a closer look. I noticed a section called Freebies and I clicked the link to check out what was currently available. One of the available freebies was free photos from Walmart PhotoCentre. By ordering online, I got 50 free photos just for signing up and I was also able to use a promo code to get another 50 free photos. Grand total of 100 photos for $0.00. They were ready for pick up the next day at my local store. When I picked them up I felt like an extreme couponer because I got $19(+tax) worth of photos for free!
Smart Canucks: This is a deal blog/forum with links to coupons, shopping deals, and a forum where you can brag about the deal you just got! I love that. The only thing better than getting a deal is telling other people about the awesome deal you got!!
Grocery Alerts: This site will go through the weekly grocery store flyers and point out the best deals. They will also show you how you can get some of the deals for even less by providing the appropriate coupon (they tell you where to get the coupons too!).
COUPONS:
There are tonnes of Canadian coupon sites on the internet. I have surfed many of them, but have yet to order any coupons, as I don't often want the items that are being offered. New coupons are added as they become available, so I'll keep checking the sites in case something of interest pops up.
Some coupon sites worth checking out: Save.ca, Gocoupons.ca, Couponclick.ca, Brandsaver.ca
DEALS:
Flyerland.ca: If I ever miss a flyer or recycle one prematurely, I check out Flyerland to see what is on sale. It is not just flyers, they also have links for featured deals, coupons, and contests.
Wag Jag: I haven't bought one yet, but there are deals to be had on this site. Basically they post a deal of the week, and if a minimum number of people buy it (5 or 10, etc.), the deal becomes 'active' and everyone can get the deal for that low price. I'm sure I'll try it at some point, I'm just waiting for the deal to be something I actually want to buy!
Are you a couponer? Do you chase after deals? Have you gotten any awesome deals lately?
