I went to RCSS this morning to take advantage of the 75% off Christmas stuff and also use up some expiring coupons.
Started gathering Valentines Chocolate gifts from their discounted Chocolates.
2 X Hershey's Junior Kisses -50% off = 2.44X2= $4.88 (There, nephews taken care of.)
3 X Quality Street small boxes - 50% off =3X 3.24 = 9.72 -$2.00 coupon =7.72 (2.86 each) (2X DSIL + 1DB taken care of.)
Christmasy stuff:
Gluten Free Christmas Goodies Cook Book (for dh's daughter for next year) 12.71 (not reduced - I may challenge them on it.)
1 box Cards - 75% off = 5.94 (These have blank inside and pretty snowflakes on the outside so I can use them as "Happy New Year" cards for people to whom I hadn't sent a card but have received one from.)
3X single roll wrapping paper - 3X $1.44 (75% off)
1X big package of red and green tissue= $1.44 (75% off)
2 Christmas bags (.94 each) (75% off)
1 box of 2 strings of outside LED multi-colour lights that match those we have outside REG. $49!!!! - on sale for $7.49!!
1 package of plastic clear penguin tree ornaments (for stocking stuffers for next year) $1.44 (75%off)
1 box of 36 mini tie-on bows - red and beige so can be used at other times of the year - $1.44 (75% off)
OH YEAH! And I got 4 large green Glad containers for $2.44 with $3.00 worth of coupons inside! Yippee!
Other stuff on sale and/or +coupons
IOGO yogurt $3.37 - which had a 50% off sticker (but they didn't take the 50% off - I'll have to challenge them on it.) - .75 coupon
Hummus - on sale - 2/6.00 but 50% sticker on it so $1.50 for one
Pumpernickle bread - on sale for 1.98 - with 50% sticker - so .99
Mince Tarts on sale for $3.00
Cinnamon Raisin Weight Watchers Loaf - 3.59 - 50% sticker = 1.80
Bananas (not on sale) 1.07%
MANN'S Snap Peas (which we love as a snack) $3.99 - 50% sticker = 2.00
1/2 pint raspberries (to put on cereal in the mornings) 3.49 (a splurge)
1 sweet potato - 1.08
2 boxes of bowls that match our lunch plates - in the "mega Clearance" - 2.94 each =5.88
2 boxes of Vileda Scrunge cleaners - $2.00 (WUB 2) = 2X3.49 = $7.00-$2.00 = $5.00
A couple of other pharmacy purchases
I'm really pleased because most of these coupons were expiring next week. Didn't expect all the pink 50% off stickers on things we use.
A happy day of shoppingThis thread is currently associated with: Real Canadian Superstore RCSSLast edited by avoncallingu; Fri, Dec 28th, 2012 at 09:56 PM.

Great deals! My Superstore has 50% off today which just a tiny smattering of items at 75% off. They didn't seem to overstock much this year so I am not expecting my great deals to come from RCSS
So many coupons....so little time!

you know
i saw a 75% sign somewhere and assumed it was all 75% - oh boy! that's not being a "smart" canuck! LOL! Actually most of the things I listed really were 75% off - except maybe the cards.Last edited by avoncallingu; Thu, Dec 27th, 2012 at 04:20 PM.

Great deals and great idea to use some of the 75% off chocolates/candy for Valentine. Love it. I used to freeze some of the chocolate Santas, Snow Men, etc. and use them for baking during the year. Thank you for posting.
freedomslink.com , a cool homepage!

You can always count on Pink stickers after the holidays. Now if I can find a big Dairymilk Bar with a Pink sticker I will be a happy lady! Cheapest I saw it was at SDM for $9.99. Still not a bad price considering the bar is half of the size of me!

Just a hint - if you pick up the coloured foil Hershey's kisses or other candy - use red, white, silver for Valentine's Day and green, white, gold for St. Patrick's Day.
