I feel like the kid from 6th sense, but instead of seeing dead people, I see coupons, everywhere lately . And, I'm not usually looking out of my way for them. Just the usual, couponzone, if I happen to pop into metro, etc. However, just walking by packaging, it seems almost everything I buy, or my mother and brother buy, has coupons on it. Then people hear you collect coupons, as my family puts it, and every cousin, aunt, once/twice removed (I feel so cousin Vinny like - my mom will call, and say I saw second cousin Rose....), and next thing, I have more coupons/flyers, etc.
It's hilarious. I have couponed for about 5-6 years, seriously for 3-4, with one break, and it has never been like this. Not even when I first started, and as a new couponer, you just notice them everywhere! Up until now, I'd run a traditional train every few months or more, when I'd built up enough of a trade pile. Now, I've had 5 in 6 weeks, and I've got more building up again. Smuckers, milk bag coupons now, flyers, etc, great trade coupons at RCSS/Metro, and so many of the relatives/friends finding them (no worries, mom knows to take 1-2 at a time! But she shops 4 times a week, so they build up fast!). And, anything packaged I buy, with coupons, we build up quickly, as there are 5 kids and me!
Plus, mom went to a gluten free food fair last week, and picked several gluten free coupons, for stuff my two g-free kids eat, and besides an odd trade , I almost never find these (although, I just traded with mcminson for over 30 of the envirokids cereal they eat).
Slight coupon overload, but it's much easier to manage, now that I've done it for awhile. I seem to be able to weed through and sort a lot faster then when I started. And, it's much easier to be selective to what I use now, then when I started (newbie mistake of saving and using coupons for stuff I don't use). Now, I trade those for lots of coupons for stuff I use.
I loved walking into FB today, and buying a dozen canned corn with the delmonte coupons, and spending 40 cents a can. The cashier thought it was pretty neat. And I have several more of those, so I'll pop in over the week to get more .This thread is currently associated with: Metro, Real Canadian Superstore RCSSLast edited by kellyanna_99; Fri, Oct 4th, 2013 at 10:33 PM.

wow! haha, I don't find that many coupons (no inserts in my newspaper!! ugh) but I keep giving them away to my friends and family. I call and email people and give them instructions about which item to buy and how to use the coupons. Kinda glad though, I don't think I would be able to manage all the coupons you have!
