Bridgewater Dollarama takes them now too, i had to take in an copy of an email I received, and it took alot of arguing, but they eventually called HQ and got the go ahead, it would have been nice if the stores were notified about the new policy.

The Dollarama in Amherst,...

I sent the email so I could have at least proof that the store does, that way they can't argue,,, I specified the Amherst store... got a email back in 2 hrs... You might want to t ry that..

Very wise to get something to print off and to take in. Saves a lot of hassle.

Just thought I'd let everyone know that the Dollorama in Dartmouth (by the bridge) accepted my coupons this morning, without problems. The cashiers didn't know how to enter them in, but the manager was there and explained it to them.

What kinds of things are you getting there? I need to go have a look and see what coupons I have. I don't have any Nivea and that's the only deal I've heard about other than toothpaste locally.

The Dartmouth Bridge one has Axe Body Wash for $2.00, so $1.00 if you have that coupon.

I just went to the Tacoma Dollarama and had a pleasant experience. The cashier rang my coupons in as cash one at a time which was weird but she didn't question their use at all.

I bought:

3xScrunge sponges 3.00-3.00 in coupons = $0.00
2xLysol toilet bowl cleaner $4.00-$2.00 WUB2 =$2.00
1xAxe body wash $2.00-$1.00=$1.00
1xFinish Jet Dry $2.00-$1.00=$1.00

OPP $4.00+tax

They also have Hawaiian Tropic SPF 45 waterproof sunblock in the beauty aisle near the body wash for $2.00. Expiry Sept 2013. Woooo! I bought 6 and left about 50. We use lots of sunblock. lol

There are still lots of Littlest Pet Shops left in the toy aisle for $2.00. Lots of good ones too...monkeys, snakes, cows, deer, koalas, caterpillars, bees not just cats and dogs. My kids are going to be very happy with me when they get them at some point. I bought 12 and hid them.

I saw lots of couponable products including deodorants for degree, lady speed stick, secret and Gillette. I didn't have coupons for them but someone might. There were also St. Ives body wash in two scents.

I went to the Dartmouth bridge one tonight. I got Dawn dishsoap, Old Spice razors, Dove soap and Dove hannah montana body wash. I'm liking this dollarstore couponing now that the staff knows what to do.

Yes, that's the one! I'm pretty sure that the staff are all trained in this store now. I handed the cashier $10 of coupons at the beginning of my order with the products and she rang them through as cash at the end after verifying they were correct. She wasn't surprised that I had them or anything.....just took them from me. I saw another lady with a coupon too.

I nearly always make large purchases at the dollar store ($20+) so maybe that helps the casher's attitude with the coupons?? It looks like I'm not going in to get "free stuff" but rather just trying to save a few $$. Not that that should matter but it did occur to me that it might be why some people are having a hard time and I haven't. I spent $34 after coupons last night and $72 after coupons on the weekend at Tacoma. It amazes me that I can so easily spend $72 at the dollar store.

The razors are 4 blades and in single packs for $1. I used a couple of $3 WUB2 coupons. They were hanging with all the other razors in a red Old Spice package.

The one in lower Sackville supposedly takes them. One cashier said to me, if you think you're coming in here with a coupon and getting something for free....my friend got an email from head office stating it is an individual store policy re coupons.

[Allis154]

Has anyone tried coupons at the Truro store?

[Darlenelovesgm]

I used coupons at the dollarama in lower Sackville. I listened to the manager explain how to ring them in to the cashier invade of future issues. Plus I saved the receipt. I bought toothpaste and chef boyardee and it ended up being cheaper at walmart !!
