Purina chat chow is on sale @ No frills for 4.99 and I had coupons for 2$ off = 2.99$, but 4.99 is stil a gr8 deal and its not in the flyer also Jergens lotion reg.7.93 on sale for 3.73 - 2.50$ printable coupon = 1.23 each yahoooooooo....luv No frills!
Walmart had 18 reg. stayfree for 2.00 and I used a 2$ printable coupon so free, this was not in the flyer either and hopefully your local walmart has the same price!!!!
Does anyone else shop at No Frills? We don't have one in my city so not sure what their coupon policy usually is.
Great deals on your shop!
I'm also in a small town...I have never even heard of No Frills before joining SC! haha
And in answer to the previous question....I try to be brand loyal is it is financially possible. Especially for diapers, laundry detergent.......things that I use EVERYDAY. But I will stray if there is a better deal. I do tend to use some store brands instead of using coupons. Especially baby formula and dog food. I find the Walmart brand for both is SOOOO much cheaper tha even with a good sale and coupons I still save money.
I shop at No Frills once in awhile if there's a good sale. other than that its to far out of my way (its located in a town that doesn't have any other place I shop).
As for the 10$ limit-never tried it but have seen others post the same thing on the forum.
I have a question about trading
I'm negotiating my first trade and am having an issue. I pm'd someone who had 8 brandx coupons I wanted, they said they only traded in bunches of 10 and they wanted 3 stamps for the coupons. I'm okay with that as I really want this coupon so I picked 2 more coupons from their list(even though I can get them easily).Have my envelope ready to mail and got a message this morning that the other person only has 5 of the coupons I want, not 8. I told them I didn't need the other coupons they offered and nothing else on their list interested me, I left it at that.
do you have any suggestions for negotiating? should I walk away?
this would have been my first trade.
good morning!
okay another question(or more than one:lol:)
-how do I list my coupons for trade? I've noticed some have upc's beside them or they say mfr or where they are from
-are websaver coupons mfr coupons?
-why do some people not want WUB coupons? do they mean they don't want to buy one item to have to use the coupon on the other?
okay, that's all I can think of right now.
Good for you for diving in -- Trading was going to be Thing 5.
I can post trading info early if people want that in this group?
Now this trade .. hmm ... not sure what to think. I know sometimes I think I have 4 coupons and it's 3.
There are people who only want to trade for bigger trades - 10 seems arbitrary but maybe it works for them. So if these were $1 off coupons, it's usually 2 to 3 stamps for stamps. There is at thread about trade values but it's just a guideline.
If the trader has a high rating and you want the coupons still, I'd consider doing the trade. PM them and say something like since they only have 5 and there's nothing else on the list that you want do they want to do the trade for 2 stamps?
Crazycoupongirl -- what do you think?

thanks for the answers.
I can wait to talk about trading until you're ready.;)
This is a good thread to learn about "value". LINK IS FIXED
http://forum.smartcanucks.ca/173581-...-worth-canada/
There was an older thread with the general guideline
$10 in coupons 2 stamps or 3 stamps -- one for the postage; after this every $10 was one more stamp.
Midnighty makes some good points in the thread ... not all $1 coupons are equal. How common are they? What % of the price of the item do they take off - the $1 wub 2 campbells soup = free soup.
My advice is go by how you feel. If the deal feels good/right to you,then it is. There is a lot of subjectivity with trading.

welcome to the group!
I have never heard of this.? I know that after $10 they usually need a customer service manager to come override each coupon, but not that they won't take them. depends on where you go to shop, and sometimes the people at the stores just say whatever they want. I'd try again at a different till, and call head office if you have problems in the future with using more then $10 at a timeQuote:
