Looking forward to spending time here.

I've decided to do a little project myself this year.... I purchased each family a coupon organizer and am hoping to fill it with lots of good coupons that I know they will use-- and samples as well and parcel it up into a basket or some such thing. I pick up quite a number of brand new/almost brand new things at Value Village when I can get a good deal--- mugs, towels, etc. so hopefully by Christmas, I'll have a neat little *stash* for each of them. It's been fun... the countdown is on, so am hoping to find lots of good ideas on this site. Thanks.

A good place to start learning about the site and saving $$ is to look under each top menu tab: Coupons, Deals, Freebies ..... When you're on that page, click on the threads marked "STICKY".

A sticky thread means it stays (sticks) to the top of the page instead of flowing off to the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th page based on the time of the last post.

Here's an example from the Coupons page:

Sticky: http://forum.smartcanucks.ca/images/...s/rating10.gif
*OFFICIAL* Canadian Printable Coupons (http://forum.smartcanucks.ca/images/misc/multipage.gif 1 2 3 ... Last Page)

Not all stores take printable coupons. You can do some searches for coupon policy in the coupon thread area OR go to the company web site and look for coupon policy - many have started posting them. Even once you read the policy, stores can sometimes do things differently and some are not up to speed on training their staff so some of print and bring them along with us.
