Hello, new from Lethbridge, AB!

Hi,

My name is Gina, and I'm new here. I've just recently started using coupons, we're on a very fixed income now, so it makes sense to me. I used to use coupons when the kids were small and I was at home with them, but sort of forgot how after I got a job and had no time to pay attention to my shopping. I guess I wouldn't be on such a fixed income if I'd just paid attention in the first place...lol...

I was wondering where you can find out about store policies on this site. I've been looking for awhile now, and can't find anything. I was also wondering how everyone gets their coupons? Some of the sites only send them out once a month or so. Is there a better way to build up your coupons? I seem to keep printing out coupons that are only good in the U.S., at least that's the only place where the stores can redeem them. Will some stores send them to the U.S. to redeem?

Any and all advice will be much appreciated.

Thanks!
Gina

Welcome.
I am still fairly new but this site is my home page, lol!
There are 4 sites primarily that seem to be the best, but you have to watch the threads to find the hidden links.
On the home page, there is a button that says, "new" click here. I still go to this often to double check things, or to clarify something that I am not sure of.
You will find tons of info in there. SCOP, store policies, coupons etc.
I found the best way to get my growing stash is trade trade trade trade, and solicit an army of friends to help.
We trade coupons at work, and others even collect them for us that don't coupon.
My mother and mother in law send me their coupons. I keep eagle eyes at stores for tear pads, and watch the weekly thread that they post and figure out what i need from where.
The best thing it seems to do ( I haven't because its not in this town) is to price match at walmart.
But if you are on AB, you can score HUGE at London Drugs.
Read, Read, Read ask questions. Trial and error.
Remember even 1 dollar saved is a small victory
