Hi... my name is Tammy. REALLY want to live the couponing dream!!! :)
Hi there, I am new here and just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. I am interested in making BIG savings by using coupons and hope I have chosen the right place to do so. Any advice or suggestions would be most welcome, as I AM a beginner coupon-er. Thanks and nice to meet you all!!!:-)
Excited to save money by extreme couponing! I just need some tips and tricks as I have not used coupons before. I have recently become disabled and my income has changed to less than half of what I made before.
Any advice from the experienced canucks in Edmonton?
thanks.

Thank you! I am looking for it to save some money these day with all the price going up,
There are so many great deals that you just don't know are there until you join SC.
Good luck. Sometimes it's fun and sometimes it's tedious too.
This is a super place to learn - lots of great people. If you liked to learn in a online group with other new couponers, check out 21 Things to be an EPIC couponer - here' the link to Group 10. They're free and one starts almost every week.

Edmonton has lots of SCers. Check out this area on the forum for "local deals, couponers ... etc"
Canadian Local Deals, Coupons, Events, Classifieds, Buy, Sell & Trade
Edmonton group is here.
Three tips:
1. learn the prices of things so you know when a deal is a deal;
2. try to set a small amount aside to start a stockpile some things you use a lot. Aim for a reasonable amount.
So say you need 2 packages of toilet paper and you see a super deal ($2.50 after coupons for 12 double rolls) - you know the price is great so you buy enough for 3 months or ... depends on room.
3. Watch for this thread every week: saves you a ton of time figuring out what the deals are.

and collect coupons :-) of course that you can use for the things you buy.
What you'll find is that no only are prices going up, but boxes are getting smaller. 10 granola bars instead of 12.
And if you haven't watched prices / sales you'll be stunned how things can be double the price one week $7 jumbo cereal and then on for $4.50 and then one week $3.50 a box.
Good luck everyone -- this is a great place to learn, have fun and make some couponing buddies.

Hi,
I'm Deanna and I'm a SAHM
Hi I'm Megan I've been on this site for around a year now but it never came to mind to make an account and start participating. I love coupon stacking and who doesn't love getting free things in the mail?! If you see this and you haven't made an account yet I definitely encourage you to! I coupon stack around once a week with my mom and aunty Simone sometimes we'll go with my aunty Diane to. My aunt Simone is THE coupon lady of the family and we enjoy watching her brags go up on Smart Canucks! I hope to continue to post on Smart Canucks because over all it's a great community here! :)
Hi all...I'm Jen....and I just started collecting my coupons almost 2 weeks ago. I am sooo new at this and it can be a little overwhelming at times! I already have so many coupons and lots more on the way! Excited to start saving some money with them!
Hello My name is Rebecca and I have always loved coupons, contests and samples. it is really nice to meet others who are as crazy as I am. :)
I used coupons for the first time today and it was a pretty good deal because of a buy 2 get 2 free coupon combined with a sale on at Zellers that had the item on 2 for the a cheap price I got a great deal for 4 items! It was for Ziploc containers which can be expensive up to $6 each sometimes I got 4 packages of them for $8 using one coupon and to top it off I also used a coupon for a 4 pack of soap that was on sale for 1.49 and my coupon was for a $1 off so it only cost me .49 cents .... what a rush getting a great deal!
