Ready or not, Smart Canucks are springing into May deals and coupons!

Thank you @Ciel for starting the thread. Not sure if I will be able to do lots of deals and couponing since I am only shopping at 1 store when I go out . Not sure if tear pads are still put at the stores.

When I have gone shopping at my local No Frills, all of their coupon year pads had been removed. When I’ve gone to Sobeys, I still see the tear pad coupons that were put on the shelf a month or so ago.

Our No Frills has coupons out still. Guess it depends on the manager.

[flemeth]

Thanks ladies. In regards to the coupons will be keeping my eyes out when I go to RCSS next time

I also noticed 2 weeks ago when I went to No Frills there were coupons out. They were for products we do not buy so I am not sure if they are new or older coupons. I will say coupons so no tend to last long in our stores so I have to guess they were newer or they would have been gone.

Morning! I had to pop into the office this morning before the person working there came in. Decided to go to No Frills since I wanted to stock up on the No Name burgers ( I have seen worse pre-made patties. DS likes them and the deal was good and I had personal PC pt offer and I am worried of the decrease in beef and the increase in price) So we are stocked till the Fall at least!
Spent $50.12 (redeemed $50 in points!) Glad I went so I was able to get a bunch of the $1 blackberries too. And rounded off my purchase with pasta to keep us stocked up

I have a busy work day but after I hope to clean out 2 lower corner cupboards in the kitchen. They can hold so much but are a mess right now.

Have a great day everyone!

oh and I am sad that SDM doesn't have the deal on eggs anymore I loved $1.88 eggs. I picked up a dozen for $2.64 at NO Frills (I think that was the price) Still a cheap meal to make but still liked eggs under $2.

[SassyAshley]

Yes, I have had to pick up some at $2.64 as no one seems to have them on sale. Although I had to laugh when my sister who lives alone bought the 30-pack from Costco cause it was cheaper.

TGIF! Its dry here but looks like it wants to rain. DS son has been off on his bike since 7am. He heated up pizza in the oven before he left so he would have food lol. Called me before 8am to ask me a question. Happy he is out getting some fresh air.
