Hi everybody, little behind on this one it seems! Great video, really expanded on a lot of things I aleady knew!

1) I somehow never knew about gocoupons.ca! Glad to find out about it!
2) http://forum.smartcanucks.ca/156396-...-wrong-canada/ discusses coupon "ethics"

Yes -- it's another activity already.

I'm sure some of you have noticed and used the "thumbs up" at the top of a thread. This is a way to say "great thread" and also to recognize the poster for their contribution.

SC Expert Needed - for a while the people who had the most thumbs up in a month, would receive gift cards. Is this still the case??

So how do you do it?

When you're on a thread that you like scroll to the first page first post. You'll see a grey thumb on the right hand side.



Simply click it.

It'll turn green and the number of thumbs up will increase by 1.



When you're looking all the threads under a tab like coupons you'll see the ones that lots of people have given a thumbs up like the High Five. So using the thumbs up helps everyone.



Your Activity

Find a thread that you think is great and give it a thumbs up.Feel free to share a link to the thread you chose on the board if you like.

Hello,I'm ALOT behind ! Great video, great info.

I have to say DITTO to everyone's answers.

I love the printable coupon section and the brag section.

I think one of the biggest etiquette things I have seen on the website is how many to get of a product - not clearing off the shelf and not taking all of the coupons.

I have to say that I love the $7 WUB3 venus/secret coupon and the $5WUB3 Greenworks.

Everyone is actually pretty sprightly and quick in this group. Love the answers. Learning something new each time I check in to read the thread.

For our assignment, I gave two threads thumbs up:
-This thread of course! So awesome!
-And this thread-hot deals of the week Feb. 10-17-some wonderful deals there, especially from RCSS, Safeway, WalMart, and Zellers!

Have a great day everyone!

Awesome choice of a thread to share Susan. h. This thread is your shopping lifeline every week -- you can see at glance if something you need to buy is on sale for a great price. The wiki feature (people can edit the first post) is a super add - on to this page because one person doesn't have to do all the updates and the list can come together quicker and it's more complete.

Ok, I had my answer typed out but my computer crashed so this version will be a bit shorter...can't remember what I said! The thread I am following right now is the High 5 in the Morning thread about the Quaker/Tropicana MIR for $25 in coupons. I have found the thumbs up feature but somehow missed giving this one a thumbs up! Already bought 4 boxes of granola bars (PM to FB of course!) plus the required Tropicana product -- $2.97 -- all at Walmart. I hope to do it again tonight. Fingers crossed that the coupons are good...and hoping someone gets the inside track and posts it in that thread.

Good call susan.h! Gave this thread a thumbs up too!!!!

Help - What should I post about next?

Okay I have so many topics popping into my head. Please tell me which two or three you'd like me to do first.

1. Part 2 of coupons and where to find them (this includes some of the less common places)

2. Reading and understanding a wishlist and tradelist.

3. Creating your first wishlist.

4. Creating your first tradelist.

5. Trading - how to, the good, the bad, the funny.

6. What's a trade rating?

7. What's a train? Is it worth riding? There's so many types of trains - help.

8. What's a RAOK and what do you do when you receive one?

9. SmartCanucks - I found a thread I like and I want to find it again easily - help

10. Drinking from a firehose -- taming SmartCanucks info overload - tips and tricks

11. Visitor messages and friending?

12. What's rep and when to give it. What do you do when you get it?

13. What are the candies besides some name?

And another dozen topics that have slipped my mind

[monkey'smom]

My vote:

5. Trading - how to, the good, the bad, the funny.

[eltada]

Definitely would love to know more about #1 (Where to find coupons)!!
I have done some trains & trades but would like to do more. I need to make them a more effective experience -- I think that starts with making good wish/trade lists. So those topics get my votes (though they all sound good!).

[$power]

I vote for: # 1 Every coupon source is worth knowing about
# 10. I'd really like your tips and tricks on taming the forum

Was the one I gave the thumbs up to. I'm planning my first stack on Fri


I am enjoying everyone's take on the assignments too.......

[susan.h]

Gosh, so many topics that sound really interesting...it's hard to choose! lol
Well, I am always looking for different ways to find coupons, so for me...#1 it is!
