Group 6: Lucky Couponistas 21 Things to be an Epic Couponer

[KrisZ]

Ryry - You're not the only one who hasn't seen that show - I haven't either! But if you look on youtube, there are some stockpiles being shown off. Some say they're people from that show and WOW is all I can say!!

You must be one busy mama tripsplanner!! And brave! My sister lived in a condo for several years (Front and Jarvis) and I was amazed at how creative she got with storage in that postage stamp of hers.

The one thing I've learned so far is even though you don't find the coupons you're looking for in your regular stores, in the next town over, they just might have completely different coupons!! My mom lives about 30 minutes away. I stopped in at a store (to compare prices) and found at least half a dozen tear pads that I hadn't seen before!!

HOLY DOODLE Tripsplanner!!!!! triplets?!!! You strong brave woman you! I have 2 kids 2 years apart and I could not imagine having triplets!!!!


I actually found the 10pk of Advil last night grabbed 2 with 2 of my coups and my cashier didnt even mark them down to 3.99... I made .02!!!!

BUT I LOST MY SDM card!!!! Have to get a replacement today and call in with my receipt info.....

Tomorrow is LD day! I love LD day.... 2 hours of me time!

Each region has it's advantages and super saving opportunities. If I had Rexall with airmiles I could be collecting points like leaves on trees for example.

I went looking for a Rexall at lunch, they're not that easy to find! There were 3 listed close enough to my work that I could zip out at lunch. Turns out that they're JUST Pharmacy's with a couple impulse items at the counter. I'll have to venture a little further.... lol

[KrisZ]

Ryry - Is Innisfill around Woodstock/London area?? If so, I know we have several Rexall's in Hamilton so not *too* far away ... Just in case you happen to be venturing out this way anyways

[RyRy's Grasshopper]

Hi Kris! Innisfil is just a touch south of Barrie, so a bit of a drive to Hamilton. Thanks for the info though, I'm out that way a bit in the summer for the speedways so I'll keep that in mind!

[KrisZ]

So geogrpahy is obviously NOT one of my strengths

[RyRy's Grasshopper]

Lol, mine neither! I just have the benefit of having been to Hamilton before. If you ever head up 400 north and see the "Innisfil" sign, you'll think of me!

Can anyone explain the difference between a 'virtual' train and a regular train?

[Giving-Small]

The VWT - virtual wish trains - don't actually go from person to person. There's a couple of ways they can work.

The main way is each rider posts their wish list and then you send coupons for each rider to the conductor. Conductor gets all the wishlist items and then sends out one envelope to each rider with their goodies from everyone else.

This type of train usually results in more coupons you can use and no worries about the train getting lost between two riders.

[RyRy's Grasshopper]

Thank you! I was struggling to figure that out on my own!

I haven't noticed any posts from leathomson and Shanzi ~ C'mon Ladies! Give us a 'shout-out'!

Is there a Rexall pharmaplus in Saskatoon? Thanks Giving Small, I found fantastic coupons at the SDM in the downtown Mall.

[Giving-Small]

Yes there's one that follows the flyer sales -- it's in the mall at McKercher and 8th Street just down the street from Circle Mall about 8 to 10 blocks.

Hi Everyone,

Nice to e-meet you! Sorry for being a bit late to the party. A nasty stomach flu landed at our house on friday. We're all just getting back on our feet.

My name is Shannon and I live in Toronto with my husband and my 7 year old stepdaughter. Shanzi is an old nickname of mine.

In an effort to save more and be better at budgeting I started using coupons. Before that, I really didn't pay too much attention to prices and thought all store sales were good deals. Boy was I wrong. I was shopping at the wrong stores and didn't use coupons unless they were right in front of my face.

I currently have my coupons in a couple of small accordian folders, I couldn't find those baseball card holders at the dollar store for a binder. Any tips on where to find those cheap?

Thanks for the video - I have so much to learn! Can't wait to hear more of your secrets to saving and building up a stockpile. I would also like to start trading coupons, I have lots that I won't be able to use.

Cheers,
Shanzi
