First Brag - $2.90 for $29.58 in Green Cleaning Stuff at Canadian Tire ($0 OOP!)

[beetwelve]

This is my first brag, but I was so excited leaving Canadian Tire today I had to share! I did 3 transactions, using 3 scratch cards as well as manufacturer's coupons for each item. The best part is that all of these items were things I would have paid full price for anyway... the best kind of coupon shop, right? When I finished, the cashier said, "Wow - you're like one of those extreme couponers on TV!" lol

I got $29.58 worth of green spring cleaning products for $2.90 (FREE for me because I paid with Canadian Tire money on the card!).

I don't know about checkout 51 but the Coupon Zone had a Buy 30.00 of participating products and get 10.00 back. It all had to be on the same receipt (feb6 to feb 22). I submitted mine. I wish I didn't have a dinasaur phone so I can do check-out 51. If someone else is reading this the details are Air Wick,Finish,Lysol,Woolite and Resolve. I just have the photocopy of what I sent in.

That's great. That is how I feel on most of my purchases. I feel the same way. It is fantastic to be connected with such a great group for shaing deals, ways, hints, pictures of coupons, sharing ways to trade, photos so you know which product that your fello SCer got, not guessing and cannot find it which often happens in my situation. I'm so happy for you. Those flippin cleaners add up and we need them, the Finish Tabs, I would pass out if they discontinued those and well TP we all know that is always going to exist. Good job-I feel your excitement and I hope you can feel ours for you. Yippppie!! Thanks for sharing and the pics too. happy cleaning!! Nice presentation. It's alot of work right?

Oh by the way, there was a 3.00 printable for Quantum, you probably know already. I'm sure I saw it here on SC. If you cannot find it let me know I will try to find it for you and go back to CT and get that SCRATCH thingy again. and save again.

I have no idea if they are different, but I just double checked and I definitely only got $1.50. That's awesome that you got $3!

You said it right there, oscarandme. SC is the best, the people are wonderful, and I can't tell you how much money and time I've saved by being part of this community. Thank you to everyone who makes this a great place to share and save together!

OP, for your first brag you did super grasshopper! ( lol) nah, just funning around here, your use of the coupons with the scratch card and the CT money was the way to go. I was wondering did you have to line up 3 different times? Or did they lat you do all 3 transactions one after the other?

Thank you! My husband and I each did one transaction, then I did one more. The cashier didn't mind that we did three all at once; in fact she was extremely patient with all the coupons and scratch cards.
