Hi,
My MIL just came out to B.C. for a visit where she got to see couponing at work. She does not have access to a computer so I am trying to help her from here. Could anyone make a recommendation as to where the best place to shop, coupon and stack if possible is (in St. Johns). Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated!;)
Hi,,, would love to help you out.. couponing in NL is a little different than BC. You can't stack coupons here or at least i'm not aware you can. Sobeys by far has the most coupons available (tear pads) & in my experience the most coupon friendly, next would be walmart. However i haven't seen any tear pads there. I love walmart b/c you can PM & use a coupon, they also take printables(internet) coupons. Shoppers has tear pads also however , not the most friendly when it comes to couponers. Dominion has a coupon zone however , they put them out about 2 weeks prior to expiry.. not a long time to hold out for a sale. Some of the Manufacturer coupons have longer expiries. Zellars, I have to amit, I don't shop there often (maybe twice since couponing) so I really can't comment. I have seen tear pads there & have had no problems usingQuote:

Hope this helps a little. Getting items for free or near free is next to impossible here in NL but can be done.. hoping to get some ziplock baggies for free @ no frills. good luck to your MIL & happy couponing to her.. :-)
maybe others on this board can comment on No Frills, I've only shopped there twice & have never used any coupons there. Today will be my 1st..
Thank you so much, I really appreciate the tips!Quote:

Walmart price matching is easy -- and totally aggree that Dominion's coupon zone is generally useless (1/2 the time the coupons have already expired!)...
I too find sobeys one of the best places to find and use coupons. walmart is pretty good to but I have never seen tearpads there.
I use to always shop at dominion but since couponing I find myself not going there at all.
I would like to add at shoppers i've noticed they only accept coupons with the P.O. Box 3000 address. I tried using an armstrong cheese coupon there last week with a Quebec address & they wouldn't take it. :shrug: Also, would like to say thank you to all couponers who consider others & only take the # of coupons they think they will use. I do the same, would never clear a tearpad...usually 4-6 depending on the expiry date. :-) also, I ask myself is this something I would buy.Quote:

thanks for letting us know about these coupons. My kids love the real fruit gummies.. Hopefully I see these. we also use the Flintstones vitamins.. Hope they restock :-)Quote:

However I have had a few tangles, first Sobey's won't take printable coupons, even though the store policy that I have say's they do, Zellers is not coupon friendly they will not price match and then allow a coupon so I just go to Walmart. Sobey's has by far the best tear pads. I haven't tried no frills, it is just to far of a drive for me.
