How to stack

[kelseyl]

I am new to this whole coupon thing and I am having a hard time understanding everything lol. I have a bit of coupons but I don't have 2 of the same items. Im looking in the paper and online but I am too overwhelmed with it all......I need help please!!!!!!

Don't worry, it takes a while. Just keep building your stash of coupons, get them from everywhere you can; apply for freebies (sometimes those have coupons), read canadian magazines, look on websaver and save.ca, watch the printable coupon thread and follow along with when the coupon inserts come out in the newspapers.

Stacking heavily relies on having collected coupons, so if you only have a handful of coupons you probably won't have much to stack with. Just collect tear-pad coupons of items you want, save insert coupons and order the online coupons. Eventually you will find multiple coupons for the same products.

Welsome to SC!

I know exactly what you mean! When I first joined, I remember drooling with envy at everyones brags, and coupon lists!
It took me months to not only gather great stacks, but recognise, and remember sources for coupons.
Take Wonder simply+ bread for example:

There are about 8 variations of a .75 off coupon, from at least 4 sources that I know of. Smart Source inserts (somewhat) regularly put them out, Canadian living magazine does as well. There are also 2 different tearpad coupons floating around. All have different codes, and faily long expiries! (Sept.2011, and Dec.2011)

Sunlight laundry detergent is another great one!

Again, it has taken me a while, but now I am able to recognise (largly in part to wonderful SC members) regular "stackers", and when I find great ones, with long expiries, I keep them aside.

I initially built up my stash, by doing a couple bundle trades. You may have the option of hand picking a bundle, (somewhat higher trade rate), or a mix bundle.

Since it's understood, that as a newer trader, you may not have coupons to trade in return, many will trade for Gift cards, or stamps.

Keep in mind, that also as a new trader, with no or little trade rating, you may be asked to send your end of the trade first. Please take no offense to this, as many traders have been generous, and lost valuable coupons with less than savory newbies.

It can be somewhat overwhelming at first! You see, and want so many deals, but how?!? If you have any more questions, or would like to trade for your first bundle, shoot me a PM, and I can do my best. Good luck!

Most (urban) Save-on-Foods stores are now allowing stacking! This is very new, about 10 days for my store, 3 weeks for others. Yay!
