Do you collect coupons?

Truly Scrumptious · 05-04-2012, 05:57 PM

It's true that here in Canada double and triple coupons days don't exist, and even printed internet coupons often require a guest appearance by the manager when used at the cash register . . . and even then, some stores won't accept them.

However, there are so many ways to get coupons, and free product coupons as well. There are a few groups to join on Facebook (or follow on Twitter) that will let you know when there are free product coupons up for grabs, and/or when some of the coupon sites have new coupons or samples. And there are also the coupon sites themselves as well as email lists to join . . . all about coupons and free stuff.

Honestly I think I enjoy the hunt as much as I enjoy the savings, and could pretty much give a course on how to get free stuff. There's rarely a week that goes by that something fun doesn't turn up in our mailbox.

Right now I'm sitting on coupons for 2 free packages of Nordica cottage cheese, 1 free Nice 'n Easy hair colour,1 free Philadelphia cream cheese, 2 free packages of Maynards candy, 2 free Cadbury Dairy Milk bars, 1 free box of Triscuits, 2 free tubs of Asana yogourt, 3 $5 coupons for Chapman's ice cream, 2 free boxes of Special K, 2 free packages of Dempster's bagels (which we don't even have in QC, so they are up for grabs if anyone wants them) and 3 free boxes of John Frieda Precision Foam hair colour. (I had 4, used one, hated it, and spent more money getting my colour fixed than all of this stuff is worth, but I digress.) And that's just free stuff, I have tons of high value coupons as well.

Okay, I officially sound crazy.
The only thing I am missing is one of those little coupon folders, but I was just telling Tick the other day that I need to get one.

One day I was so impressed with my haul that I took a pic of it. Total price for all of this?

66 cents.
I kid you not.
