SmartCanucks Needs your help! Can you please send me a testimonial?

Oh SC, how do I love thee. Let me count the ways!

SC has it all.

-good jokes
-lotsa laughs
-a few skanks
-oh yeah, and some flyers and coupons, those are good too!

I started using SC when my daughter was 2, and I wasn't working and money was tight.

I learned to coupon the Canadian way, and was hooked!

I saved lot using smartcanucks i coul'nt believe how much money im wasting before joing this site

Saving with SmartCanucks has allowed me to reduce my hours at work, maintain a comfortable lifestyle and spend more time with my family.

SmartCanucks has taught me so much about saving money. I come to the site a few times a week and read the blog to find out the latest deals. I have learned how to use coupons to actually save a large portion on my grocery bill, stockpile essential items to my family and how to save on my utilities by changing things around our house and how to live efficiently on one income and still have money left over at the end of the month. I really owe a lot to this site for all the money I have saved, the friends I have made and everything I have learned over the last few years.

I just wish I had known about smartcanucks when my 3 kids were babies, oh the money I could have saved! Well better late than never I suppose. Once I joined SC I started learning about coupons and price matching and before I knew it I had a stockpile!!
I tell anyone who is interested in learning about savings to search SC and they will never have to look at another site.

I use Smart Canucks a lot. I save at least 20% a month on my grocery bill by using coupons that I've found via the SmartCanucks website.

Smart Canucks is Awesome!! I checked out a few other sites a couple of years ago when i first started couponing but then i found SC and now its the only site i use.It has all the latest info on new coupons,deals and offers.SC's has saved me many,many dollars over the past couple of years and i also love the wonderful sense of community you find here.Its the only place where others get as excited about me getting a free tube of toothpaste as i do lol.This site has so many wonderful members who are always willing to help out when another member falls on hard times whether through sending a RAOK envie of coupons or just providing a sympathic ear.Also SCers are so generous,all you have to do is take a look at the brag section where a large amount of the brags are about donations a member has made to a local charity or a family member or friend in need.

Sorry no testimonial here,just came to express my feelings for SC.I am here since right from the start.I made my account 1 year later.Even I would admit that it was my first introduction to any sort of canadian forums.
I saved a lot,learned a lot and still cant get my hands on every thing.Yes sometimes I get bored of couponing but keep coming here to read rants or general sections etc.Thanks Boo for providing us a place to meet wonderful people and saving money for our family.

I'm not a couponer. I don't have enough time to dedicate to it. However smart canucks has saved me a lot of money over the years. I have an ongoing list of items my household needs and if it pops up on the blog you can be sure the savings tends to be around 50% so when I see it I tend to buy it. I have used this blog to get electronics recommendations, to find new stores, to buy my clothing online, even to find my first home cleaning robot. I can't say how much I have saved but I would say its likely in the thousands. The best thing though is the community. You can post your successes, your troubles, or your needs and people on this blog tend to be pretty supportive. What other blog offers that?

Smart Canucks is, by far, the best, most up to date deals site that I have found. I visit this site nearly every day, and almost everytime I find a deal, or a contest I never would have known about otherwise. Thanks to Smart Canucks, I am finally able to start paying down the debt I've had for years, because I am actually saving a lot of money on my groceries. I am so happy that a friend referred me to this site.

The SmartCanucks website is a place where I have been able to share savings ideas with like-minded individuals, and have found the atmosphere to always be upbeat, positive and helpful.

Bottom line: the SmartCanucks website is a place where learning how to save big money is fun!

Thanks kava5 and glad you learned how to save through SC :)

We share everything from where to find coupons, to the successes and losses in our lives. SmartCanucks has become an extended part of my family. Early each week even before my neighbors get their flyers, I can go online and see all the local store flyers and read about the upcoming deals. Since joining this site in 2008, we've been fortunate enough to recover from the economy and the struggles have been few. Our marriage has never been stronger, we just celebrated our 20th! I can easily say that I don't know what I would have done had I not discovered SmartCanucks.

MrsSunshine SC would not be the same without you either! Thanks :)

This site has allowed my family to save money in leeps and bounds and I have developed many friendships on here as well. I love my ladies in the Frugal chatters, the journey of savings, the ups & downs and laughter. The amount of money I have saved in the last year and in not even keeping an exact total as I got lazy was just under $4000.00 in coupons and price matching. I never knew about price matching either or what stores price match but members on here have been so kind in so many ways through helpful tips, unadvertised sales, FPCs on facebook or otherwise. I am on SC throughout the day as I mentioned I have developed friendship and really appreciate all the hard work that the moderators do for us. Highly recommend taking a moment to check out SC. Well wishes. I also have started a coupon group in Carleton Place, ON since joining SC and have been on the CBC News Ottawa with respect to my coupon group and charities we do.

It's great to have you on board too jasperandcha and keep up the great charity work :)

When I brag about the deals I get, people have asked me to create a website to share my wealth of knowledge, I tell them it already exists and it is called smartcanucks.ca.
If only I would have learned this stuff years ago and when I had young children.
I have made Smartcanucks, my home page so I am sure to check it several times a day. Great website.

Thanks for the great testimonial myintuition!

Some of my great Smart Canucks online friends pointed out that I paid too much! :omg:There was a $5 coupon for the President's Choice long distance $20 telephone card in a Red Plum edition. These great SC members sent the coupons to me -- no strings attached!! :hug:Of course I gave them some of my coupons in return. Of course I told my favourite cashier about it and gave them some. My mother was very pleased, and even more pleased that the 'phone cards were on sale. She told all her friends about her daughter who knew how to get great deals.:horn:

So you have influenced me, my mother, my favourite cashiers our bank account and found me some great online coupon friends.:cheer2:

It's been great! And the best is yet to come...

---

haha yep planning on having loads of new giveaways soon ;)
Thanks for the wonderful review and glad SC has had a positive influence on you!!

I found myself becoming addicted to this site and I was contantly logging in to search for new information in fear of missing something! I have embraced my savings mentality on a different level and learned I can do more with less!

Thanks for the testimonial sweetmomma :)

It is amazing how much I have learned from all the knowledgeable people on this site.

Thank you olivercat and glad SC has helped you learn about new online stores! There are so many amazing small Canadian online retailers. I always feel that I (at least on the blog) don't mention/support them as much as I'd like to!

I am a member of 10 coupon groups including one of my own but none come close to providing the value that this site does. Kudos to the site owner, the admins and the members!!!

Glad SC helps you save money MillieH and thanks for the testimonial :)

Anyone who doesn't get excited about free toothpaste is officially a Brit (sorry FallenPixels) or a zombie... think about it, zombies don't brush their teeth.

Wow glad that SC has saved you that much! I always wonder what the total amount of money SC has saved people over the years would be. Probably too big to even imagine. Thanks for the review mandolinatou :)

Glad you've started paying off your debt KDawg. Is it school / OSAP debt?

Where to start. Smart Canucks has been more than a life saver for me. I joined just over 3 years ago. I had 3 little ones at home and the Christmas bills were coming in. I knew things were going to be super tight. So I thought I had to do something. I started to Google money saving tips, coupons etc. I found a lot of Canadian sites. However Smart Canucks felt easy to navigate from the start. I was able to see the savings and there was/is great people on here that were able to show me the ropes. It didn't take long before I had it all down pat. I was shopping the sales, using coupons, and finding the best deals because of what others had wrote. Word of mouth went a long way. If there was a bunch of ladies on here saying to try a product and it worked great and had a coupon to go along with it. I was happy to purchase it to give it a try. And you know what. Those ladies were always right. I have recommended Smart Canucks to anyone who will listen. Lots of my friends have joined. It is an amazing site and community. I was able to save tons of money and buy brand name products. The bills were paid and I even started donating to the shelters in town on a regular basis. We couldn't even afford for ourselves and now I can even help others. Words just cannot describe how empowering that makes a person feel. I love finding out deals first and seeing the flyers before most everyone else not on Smart Canucks does. This place is home to me:) Thank-you so much.
