Goodnights Deal:
I don't know if anyone is in the hunt for deals on these... but they are on for $3.96 at Rexall Panarama. Less $2 coupon from Save.ca and other sources.. I picked up 5 packs but there are still several left(as of last evening).
Also they Rexall in Airdrie has Similac Soy A+ (I think that is what it was called) for $.27 a can.. I was going to pick it up to add to my food back donation, as I am sure someone could use it, but forgot to go back to it... they had about 20 cans.. short expiry, but still good till the end of the month.
I have a couple of SUTP books, didn't realize people were looking for them. I'm in for a meet, I missed the brandsaver flyer and I am SO ticked off at myself! I'm back at work after five months of being laid off, it's not easy to keep up!!!
If anyone is looking to buy some SUTP books for next year, my son goes to a private school for children with autism. The school was started and is still run by parents, they'll take any child wether they can pay the tuition or not, and I can say that it's been a lifesaver for us. They sell them in Sept every year and they are in dire need of the funds. It's at the corner of Mcknight and 12th in the same building at the rental place. Or I can make arrangements to get them to you. Obviously it's a little ways away, but keep it in mind :)
Just tried to add a profile pic, doesn't seem to have worked, anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
I would love to go to another swap :)Quote:

I am interested in a meet... just don't really know until the day... health stuffs atm
FYI- I had no problems price matching multiple items, using a pile of coupons or using coupons with the $10 off when you buy 4 from the store one at the Brentwood LD this morning.
They also have today's Herald with the coupon inserts in them.
I would love to meet up for a coupon swap :-)
I'm in for coupon swap - it would be great to see everyone!
Does anyone mind if Global Calgary comes to a swap meet and does a story on it??
I'm looking to set up a swap meet, and they're looking to do a story.
If anyone is interested at all in being in a global calgary story, and doing a coupon swap at the SAME TIME....let me know.
they're looking to do the story this week.....its a few of my friends doing the story too.
I think it will be a GREAT story looking into local couponers and showing how we can save like the show "extreme couponing"!
PLEASEEEEEE....it would be really awesome! :)

just a heads up there is alot of accusations that J aime on the extreme coupon show used coupon fraud. I no way would want anything about a show and extreme couponing.
I never said anyone would be "looked at as someone from Extreme couponing" they just are looking to do a story on local calgarians who use coupons to help them save money, and to try to teach more people about coupons.
everyone can have their oppinion on this....but they're not looking to make anyone look bad, just raise awareness about couponing locally.
I'm trying to help a friend and local Global news out....and only looking for those intersted, not in people automatically thinking that they're going to be looked at as a hoarder or accused of coupon fraud.
we're just trying to raise awareness of all the great coupons do, especially in these hard times.

There is a real problem nobody is talking about... very often the shelves are empty when we are couponing.... this means if we get lets say 50 people more that get very into couponing that finding the bargains will disappear. but on the flip side... just maybe companies will discover it is a affordable advertisement method.... i don't know... but i am concerned about it... probably more then others because couponing became difficult in the early 90's and my whole family basically stopped doing it. It was after a politician decided to try and stop couponing in Canada... coupons dried up for a while... refunding used to be huge back then too. We used to send off several a week. Perhaps i am just concerned because i love it and don't ever want to have to stop doing it again.Quote:

I think we're just going to have to do a weeknight/evening, and a week day swap...Then everyone should be able to make one or the other.
A weeknight evening would be great for me! :-)Quote:

my sun had both the ss and the redplum
Weeknight Friday or weekend (except Saturday morning) would work for me =)
I feel the same way. I love that show and it's fun but it's also not the image I want to reinforce either. I'm not shy of media either.Quote:

The culture is slightly different within the group than what they might be hoping to show if they want to match extreme couponers like the tv show.
