Items you should NEVER pay full price for...

[kerrylj]

I try to get everything I buy on sale.

I was actually thinking of starting this same thread! I think most things have already been covered, you can get a deal on almost anything if you buy at the right time.

Yes yes yes Patty, I built my 8 month old daughter a library of brand new books (Disney, Dr.Seuss, baby Einstein and many many more) for only $8 last summer and we got....drum roll please....162 books!!!!!

I almost forgot something that's fun and cheap. GARAGE SALES are great for toys and books.

wowww Lucky daughter!!
but its true, books are so so expensive!
on one hand I love supporting authors and supporting the arts, but on the otherhand, a second hand store will have a book for less than 1/10 of the price =/ not to mention the library (although sometimes the waitlist is kind of crazy)

Never mind full price, I never pay a cent for shaving creme! There is always this $2 off Gillette coupon at save.ca, and they go on sale at SDM for $1.99 every 6 weeks or so.

For sure, and it takes so long to get through a tin anyway that they last forever.

Damn, I get very few coupons on groceries.
Sometimes at rcss/walmart there are 2/$4 type sales on bread.

I have seen coupons for Villagio bread and Dempsters. We have McGavins Bread Outlets here and sometimes you can get fantastic deals on it. I just paid 1.39 a loaf for Villagio 100% Whole Wheat last week so I bought 10 loaves.

I wrote to Bayer regarding Diabetic test strips because they are soo expensive and they told me that they are government regulated and they could not help, so every week or 2 Safeway has test strips on for about $10 less usually different brands so I buy 100 of them and get the machine for free. I am getting a collection of meters but that is the only way I can save money on those. I wish we could get deals on medications because I spend more on medications per month that I do on anything else. Anyone have other ideas how to save money on meds or supplies??

Other than Milk I rarely pay full price for anything.

A more interesting thread for me would be items you never buy without a coupon

[AlbertaMom]

I actually should have named the thread Things You Should Never Buy Without a Coupon!! That's more what I had in mind. Or things you can get for FREE or NEARLY FREE with coupons- then we know what coupons to hang onto or stock up on.

ie: Satin Care, Febreze, Windex, Glade Candles, etc.

coupons for bread:
Dempsters
D'Italiano
Weight watchers
Also in my town there's a Weston Bakery that has sales 3 times a week for "leftovers" expiring soon.You can get 2/$1.70 (everything: bread, buns, pitta bread).
I always go there like twice a month, fill the freezer.

There's an in-store coupon for Country Harvest bread for $0.75 right now. I had a bunch of them, and Provigo has the bread on sale this week, so I bought each loaf for about 1.60.
