Where have all the tearpads gone?

[Sizzle]

Hummed to the tune of "Where have all the flowers gone?" Giving my age away, I guess!

Anyway, I was thinking about all the great coupon tearpads I never find, and then I thought that perhaps it may be a good idea for us up-islanders to post them here when and if we find any. I'd like to start the ball rolling, but, like I said, I don't know where any are.

Is this a good idea, or am I duplicating a topic that's already being covered elsewhere?

I agree Sizzle. It is hard to find the tear pad coupons. Especially for food. Its a full time job cruising the grocery stores.

The only thing of note I found around town yesterday:

the Old El Paso kits with the free salsa on the label at Walmart/Duncan
$5.00 in coupons on a Tylenol pkg at LD/Duncan

the places i have had the most luck finding coupons in duncan was at safeway and at sdm

walmart has very few coupons, as the smart source tear pad coupons are not allowed to be put up there (store policy or something like that)... they only have the coupons from the display and the coupon fairys

thriftys sometimes has coupons, but in my experience they are often expired and left up for months

superstore tends to have very little coupons other than their own coupons, but if they have them they are often at the beauty counter (and only for beauty items)

i find the best place to find coupons is save on foods. i just came back from safeway ladysmith and not a coupon in the store.

Although i'm new to this I have seen very few other than Save on foods in Nanaimo. I went in last night and almost every pad had been stripped bare.
Save on foods $1 St. Ives good on Sample size.
Save on foods $1 International creamers
Rexall last night $2 off 3pk bic disposable shavers

in nanaimo i have found the save-on and SDM at country club malls are the only ones i have any luck at

Same here. Sometimes Zellers will have coupons for toothpaste, hair products, etc., but I'm finding it very rare.

Thrifty's had the Kraft coupons a while back and I lucked out with some Bear Paws coupons, but went back yesterday and they had nothing.

It's just hit and miss, I suppose.
