Rescue comes today (Sunday) to pick up the donations. Thank-you SC!

My sister is down this weekend for Woofstock and she has a pick-up truck.

As many of you have read I don't drive and have many all my PetSmart trips thus far on the subway and buses - an hour each way.

I paid my sister gas money and she agreed (after much hesitation because she doesn't drive in the city) to drive us to PetSmart.

I took 16 pro plan selects coupons but unfortunately couldn't use them all - they didn't have enough food in stock. So we grabbed (with permission from PetSmart employees) everything they had left on the shelf... which was a lot of senior dog food.

Here's my picture from today - the final batch for the shelter.

Pick-up is tomorrow (well technically today since it's after midnight) at 9:30 am.

Today's trip:

- 12 pack of Ceaser slices = FREE (won a coupon at Woofstock today)

- 12 purina pro plan cans of kitten food = FREE (save.ca coupons)

- 12 bags of purina pro plan selects dog food = $16.99 original 1/2 price because of pet perks - $7.49 coupons = $0.99 each

- bag of Beneful healthy growth puppies = FREE (another coupon from Woofstock)

Everything seen in the first picture was (with tax) $14.01.

My PetPerks savings on this trip was $180.60 and my coupon savings were $135.16 for a total savings of $315.76

124 pounds of food total!!!

- 3x 2.75 kg Pro Plan Selects puppy food

- 6x 2.75 kg Pro Plan Selects Senior

- 2x 3.63 kg Pro Plan Puppy

- 2x 1.6 kg Beneful Healthy Growth for Puppies

- 5x 2.75 kg Pro Plan Selects adult

- 2.7 kg Pro Plan puppy small breed

- 3x 2.5lb Royal Canin Yorkie

- 3lb Yorkie

Again, thank-you to everyone for helping me get these coupons.

The Pomeranian and Small Breed Rescue will put this food to good use.

PS....I just saw the Royal Canine ,my dog started on this as a puppy....great product but at $17.99 at bag....found it abit too pricey!

I got those bags free - a printable coupon for Toronto stores was going around and valid for a couple of days.

Something else that happened in PetSmart. On my second transaction, to buy fish, there was a guy in front of me that was buying Pro Plan food (not the selects). Today at Woofstock I got a $5 off coupon for that specific food and the cashier said "Your total will be (blah, blah)" and I was raking through my coupons and just in time, before he entered his pin I said "No it won't" and handed him the $5 off coupon to use. You should have seen his face - he couldn't believe it.

Okay, brief total: 124 pounds!

That's amazing , all that time and effort donated on your part. Great job. Do you still want any ProPlan $7.50 or busy Bones coupons from save.ca. I can order some on my account for you since I have cats, not dogs. No trade necessary I can just mail them to you. Let me know.

Looks great. Organizing and purchasing items to donate can take a lot of time and effort. Good for you.

Way to cool.......

Great job!

Wowzers! How generous to donate so much time.

[Dinglehopper]

Well the rescue volunteer picked it all up this morning bright and early. She was surprised at the amount of food - said they really need food.

Thanks again to everyone who sent or traded coupons with me.

The sale is still on so I will make a few more trips via subway/bus before the 28th.

Hopefully I can have 1 more stash to donate before I move in August. It's not a big move (literally the next building over), but I'd like to collect as much stuff as I can and have it picked up before I have to lug another 124 pounds of food in addition to all of my apartment contents.

I'll let everyone know if I hear anything else from the rescue re: the food donation.

As long as these donations continue to go well I plan to do it endlessly. I want to help dogs in need because my dog, well, let's just say there's a whole story behind him.
