New member : How do i do stuff?

[Jill Vaughan]

This looks like it's a fab site but just getting started. Heeellllpppp! Can't even find out how to subscribe to certain flyers. Much appreciated if someone would take pity on me and lend a hand. Thanks!

I don't think you can subscribe to a specific flyer, but you can subscribe to the flyers forum and get updates each time new flyers are posted

Welcome to the site Jill,
You will find lots of great info here and members are all very helpful.
You have a lot of reading ahead of you , lol.

As for coupon inserts, you don't sign up for them. They mostly come in either the newspaper or in with your weekly sales flyers.

You should also check out the "Coupons Form" for threads on current available coupons, links for sites to go to for online coupons etc.
Brandsaver.ca, Websaver.ca, GoCoupons.ca, Save.ca are a few of the main sites to get started with.

Loads of info here and lots of people to help.
Just ask.
Good luck

Hi Jill,

welcome to smartcanucks.

try and download the app , this app has common flyers and it lets you search among all flyers and get you all the prices. You can choose what u want and clip that when u go to price match you just need to show the clipped image.

for price match walmart sees the flyer on iPhone, ipad.

whenever u go to RCSs and see coupons just take them.. Maybe the are no offers currently but keep them.

when I started I used to take only if there were any offers ... And then I realized as a couponer think ahead of time and just take them.

be reasonable and just take few.

welcome again and all the best

I scan the flyers online, (notice the flyers section above in the green section), and then l compare them to the paper copies when they arrive on Thursday in my mailbox. I find that deals that are advertised online, may not be offered at your local store. Start simple, learn about the loss leaders, and what the average price is for certain products. This way you can spot a good deal in an instant. Be aware of the start and end date for each retailer. (A big thank you to those who post early flyers in the forum.) Pick your favourite store that participates in price matching, check out rewards and points programs. Sometimes you can combine all of these goodies in one shot, sometimes you can't. As dreamcatcher1962 stated, go to the online coupon sites and request your coupons; learn about the different types of coupons. Read other peoples comments and suggestions, read everything you can so that you can develop your own strategic plan. Watch videos online, they will give you more info. re. Canadian couponing. I study my flyers, make a list, plan my shop, and then I check in to Smart Cancucks to see if I missed anything. Learn about stockpiling, and developing a rotation strategy. There are a lot of things to learn, but if you put in the time you can reap the rewards. Welcome!
