Thanks Dianne.
"And, besides, I think a lot of the "problems" that Smart Canucks seem to have are probably caused by couponers who are NOT members of SC!"
Can guests post on the threads? I thought you had to be a memeber to comment on anything

I agree. We just found out my dad's got cancer and his chances aren't good, and venting about coupons is a lot easier than venting about cancer. We only know what people online tell us, but chances are there are whole worlds of things going on in their lives that we don't know.
But I also think that whenever possible, jokes should be made about whatever you're venting about (on this site and everywhere else in life). You've gotta laugh to keep from crying, or whatever. People often talk on here like they're working for the UN or something when they vent. Almost anything can be funny, and paper towel packages torn open for their coupons, or cereal boxes with the coupons cut out, is certainly no exception.

I started couponing because I watched an episode of Extreme Couponing. It inspired me to take control of my grocery budget by sale shopping, stocking up and strategically using coupons. I've saved a ton of money already and I'm addicted, however I know it's not possible to "extreme coupon" like the Americans. I wouldn't want to anyway... the show glorifies excess consumption.

EC bugs me too everyone. The show doesn't explain that the US has a multitude of different grocery stores, they are all competing to get customers in there stores. Therefore coupons are everywhere and double coupon days are frequent because of grocery store marketing. Canada only has a handful of different grocery stores some of which are connected is some way or other. So there aren't as many choices we Canadian have as far as comparison shopping. But we still do pretty good for ourselves.
As fore people that take a whole pad of coupons is disgusting. What ever happened for consideration of others. Is it going by the wayside like letter writing. I don't mean to offend anyone with the letter writing statement but letter writing isn't as popular as it was 20 years ago.

I've noticed good and bad...
GOOD - Stores are a bit more aware than before.
BAD - Being asked if I'm an "extreme couponer" (I hate that, especially when I'm only using a couple coupons).
- I find there is extra scrutiny with coupons, because people are using them improperly and cashiers are getting in trouble for not noticing.
NO CHANGES - still find coupons at most places without all of them ripped off the tearpads.

No kidding, I'm going through this as we speak lol People can be too sensitive thinking it's personal, when in reality it's just about a product. The responses have basically made me think taking full pads of coupons and clearing shelves is just fine and I owe no-one any explanation.

We have a brag section, how about a gripe section? A place where someone can get their coupon venting and belly aching out in one spot. Those who want to avoid it can, and the other sections can be less cluttered by the repitition.

You're brave to say that on here. I'm with you.
I'm a stay at home mom and stretching the dollar is important. I've tried using coupons before, but failed at matching them to sales until learning from SC. I'm sure alot of people will also fail, (not seeing the point of driving across town for 50 cents) then the real dedicated couponers will be left. By the way, I, as a newbie haven't been brave enough to take more than 2 from tear offs, but don't see why it would be necessary for SCs to even take 5. I sure hope things are donated if they won't be used.
