Okay, I'm a day behind my newspaper reading, but I saw this article in the Ottawa Sun and thought I share it with everyone. Nice to see some publicity for the site.

Looking for deals, coupons and freebies?

To all the Kanjoos or misers out there who feel they are the only ones who cut-out coupons and use them, fear not!

There's one-stop shopping at SmartCanucks.ca.

It's the perfect spot for the growing community of thrifty spenders who are trying to make the best out of the worst of times -- by making use of coupons.

This site -- which constantly attracts visitors by posting breaking-news on "hot deals" daily -- calls itself the "first Canadian deals blog" and is probably the most frequented one, too.




There are more than 33,000 registered members and, like everything Canadian, there's a French version of the site.

Postings include almost anything that will assist you in saving the extra cent. From a free skate-sharpening coupon that can be redeemed anywhere in the country to a hyper-link to order a free sample-pack of products for your grooming needs.

There is also a forum providing tried-and-tested tips on how to scrooge your way in life and threads with members bragging about their latest savings.

It has posting of freebies for soon-to-be-moms and a place for members to give reviews on Canadian products and stores.

Recently, the site launched a new feature: a database of Canadian coupons.

SmartCanucks.ca, which sports the Canadian patch as its logo, has been recognized on the blogosphere at the 2008 Canadian Blog Awards, held online.

It earned the top spot for best group blog and came second for best blog.

So, who are the smart alecks responsible for the website? Two of the four creators are moms.

FACT: Since January 2004, Google searches for the keyword "coupon" have grown 257%. Ecommerce experts say that coupon use grew 63% in the U.S. in the first week of December 2008 compared to the same time in 2007.

Very nice - but they should have actually talked to and reported upon people who started or use the site!

BTW, am I the only one who doesn't know anyone this thin (who isn't a child)?

(no, not jealous, just wondering.... we did have McDonald's yesterday - great coupons - for the first time in ages, so I wonder if she ever eats a Big Mac?)

[Sally888]

My husband works with a girl that thin, but ummn theres no upper part to her

I think the writer did a great job it was more factual, I do believe weve had stories done talking to members.

this is great!

I think it's a wonderful story.

For a change, a reporter is factual and positive.

The only thing that saddens me is there is no mention of the real creator of SC. Our Boo.

Congratulations!!!
