A Couponers Weekly Schedule??

Hi Canuckers,
I have been a part of this forum for many years. I was an active couponer and proud of it. Donated many many items as at the time I also didn't have any storage. Then had a baby and returned back to working full-time so lost the time and focus. I want to get back into it. I have a larger home now with room to stockpile and I am soooo mad when I have to pay even a sale price for household items.

So my question to all of you is:
What is your routine? When do you do your coupon searches? When do you do your shopping? Printing coupons? I know all the basics of PM etc. Just need a routine for the best chances.

I really want to get back into this and save money as my hours at work have also been reduced.


P.S I am in the West. Fraser Valley in BC, also would love to meet up with others in the area to share ideas etc.

I don’t have any tips, but am eager to follow this thread and learn as I am also a BC’er (interior)!

I normally follow the same routine for my couponing each week...

Mainly starts on Tuesday (My primary shopping day; Student Discount at Zehrs, RCSS, and Sobeys). Once I do my shop (Based on that weeks flyers), I wait for the sneak peeks to come up on Tuesday (afternoon) to get an idea of the new deals upcoming. I'll make an early list based on those flyers (Posted to my Facebook group mainly for newbie couponers). Then I stay up till midnight for F L I P P to bring up the sneak peeks for the rest of the flyers. Then on Wednesday, I make my final list with all the sneak peeks. Then Wednesday I will stay up late for the PC Optimum offers sneak peek, Checkout 51, and Caddle.

Every so often on the weekend, I will visit my family friend (2hrs away) and help her with a big shop for her family (3 boys), then on Tuesday, I start all over again.

Printing coupons, I normally just do throughout the week whenever a new coupon comes up that I want, or in need of more of a particular one (I print mainly at my school, where, although I pay, I can get dozens of the same coupon through Smartsource thanks to our computer lab)

It is open to anyone who is interested in joining. I'm not sure if I am allowed to post the name of it in the forum or not, but if you or anyone you know are interested in joining the group, send me a message and I can give you the group name there. Just an FYI, 99% of the deals that I post are for Ontario, so I'm not sure how much help my postings would end up being for you over there in BC.
