Calgary Coupon Hunters *HEADS UP*

[calgarymama]

Went to Royal Oak LD tonight and was shocked.... they actually had everything I wanted in stock!!! Maybe they are getting used to us stackers and have upped their ordering There are lots of pampers wipes left (at least 6 tubs), cascade, charmin, greenworks, etc.

Also, for those of you in search of the greenworks booklets, I was at the Royal Oak Sobeys and saw two lonely booklets attached to Greenworks wipes (the large containers) in the cleaning aisle.

Mission - at RO Sobeys there are various teas on clearance for $2/box. They are on the end of the aisle where the tea is. Thought these might be good for the teacher baskets you are working on for Christmas

Hope everyone is having a good weekend

John's Mommy, you crack me up!

Did you guys check out this thread?

I was reading it, and all I could think is, "Wow....that is so NOT like our Calgary coupon swaps!" It really is wonderful how we collect coupons for each other, bring whatever we have to the table, and help each other out as much as we can. What a wonderful bunch of people you are!

Thanks calgarymama, I got some already after our swap. They are really good price and some with long expiry too. (2012)

Also, thanks to all you beautiful ladies for the lovely coupies, it was fun as always. And great seeing some new faces.

Smartsource is in today's Sun

[MommyMelanie]

Yeah I was super stoked when everything I wanted was in stock.

Cascade
tide
bounce
sunlight green detergent

YAY !

I was so expecting there to be nothing, so I was pleasantly surprised. Would of brought all my stacks if I had known

[calgarymama]

MommyMelanie - I know! I left wishing I had brought more stacks with me - I always only bring a few, thinking that there won't be a lot in stock. Glad you were able to get what you were looking for too

[MommyMelanie]

That is why I waited till today. I kept thinking it will be a waste of a trip but my sister needed sunlight detergent so I went there just to get that. Sometimes I think I need to carry around a huge coupon binder but I dont know the best way to do that. Sometimes I am just running in store and then see a display of sale or clearance product and think , "oh darn I had a coupon at home that would make those nearly free"

[calgarymama]

I need to get more organized so I have a coupon binder to carry around and not just a pile of envies - lol! I sometimes bring one of those black re-usable shopping bags with me and put my coupons, a flyer or two if I'm PM'ing a few item, and my wallet in it - works pretty well, but would work better if I was better at organizing my coupons

[monkeyincowtown]

I only go to LD about once evry month or 2 now, just because its so difficult with my little ones in tow. That being said, I usually go through all of my coupons the night before and make all of my stackable coupons into bundles. I might not use it that time but at least they are there and ready if I need it. Its hard enough trying to shop with the kids, nevermind trying to dig through my coupon wallet every second product to see if I have more coupons

[monkeyincowtown]

Also...I wanted to say a great big THANK YOU for the RAOK envie of baby coupons I received in the mail a while back. I've been meaning to thank this person for a long time but my days are crazy and time gets away from me. So I know it was supposed to be annonymous but.. I'm pretty sure it was Vexmir....thanks so much hun

And I had a great time at the swap meet, thank you ladies for always being so generous. Always a pleasure to see you guys and it was great to meet John's Mommy too

LauraV you're a brave lady bringing all 3 of your gorgeous little ones with you!!! They are adorable and I never would of thought that you had 3 little blondies on your hands

calgarymama and DentalDiva we should have a play date sometime since all of our kids are so close in age, I know my DD would LOVE it!!!

[BuffyPhile]

I of course had to work again fri, sat and Sunday. So could not cone to the swap. If anyone want to meet this week the only day I cant do is Thursday aft. I have a bunch of snartsources. There is no way I can use all the diaper coupons from the flyer before they expire.

[calgarymama]

Monkey - great idea about organizing all your stacks ahead of time. I usually just do a few for what I am planning on buying, and then am kicking myself that I didn't bring others.... I need to create stacks as my coupons come in rather than letting them all pile up! A play date with the kids would be really fun - would you be up for meeting at Market Mall one morning at the play place there? Not sure what your DD and DS's schedules are like in the AM. I often go there at 9:30 and there is almost no one there! Dental Diva - what is your schedule like with your little ones?

My DD is definetly getting to the point where my days at the daytime coupons swaps are numbered... she just wants to run too much - lol! We will maybe have to plan an evening swap sometime

[DentalDiva]

We're honestly almost always open! ha ha ha
I'm already looking forward to an evening swap!
I do have a zipper binder that I take with me, but organize my stacks the night before and put them in one compartment of the binder....trying to stack in the aisles makes me sweat! lol

[MommyMelanie]

I might be able to come this week to Market mall if you dont mind any morning except today and Thursday.

Hahaha I get respite once a week and use it to do all my errands. Usually it ends up with a trip to london drugs. Or I would have to take the girls. And its hard enough when I am alone, then I get can I have this, can I have that.
