Mini Brag...and a funny story

[jojos_n_kelowna]

Before I get to the mini brag I have to tell y'all a funny story. A few weeks back I was at SDM. I can't even remember what I bought now, but the cashier was so impressed with my coupon savings she commented that she has dabbled in coupons here and there, nothing serious, but she would like to get some of the same savings. I told her all about smartcanucks.ca and what a great source it is for everything to do with shopping, saving money, deals, sales, coupons as well as sharing tips, product reviews, contests, etc etc. She thanked me and said she would definitely check it out.

So today I am in the store and she is at the til. She sees me pull out my coupons and she exclaims 'Oh I remember you, you are the one who told me about that crazy canucks site. I tried to google it but I couldn't find it'! I chuckled to myself, and said 'Oh yes we are some crazy canucks but the site is actually called smartcanucks.ca...' I just found this very funny...I dunno, maybe ya had to be there!

Nice one J! And yes I find the story amusing! My DH also cited smartcanucks at work too to his employees while giving them a pep talk, so word of mouth advertising is a catching trend

'Oh I remember you, you are the one who told me about that crazy canucks site. I tried to google it but I couldn't find it'! I chuckled to myself, and said 'Oh yes we are some crazy canucks but the site is actually called smartcanucks.ca...' I just found this very funny...I dunno, maybe ya had to be there!

That is funny

Great shopping as well.

My DH refers to us as Crazy Canucks , among other things.

Remember the ski team Crazy Canucks? I can just picture us Jo on skis in Walmart shushing from ailse to aisle grabbing deals as we go by. Could become a new Olympic event. Instead of ski and shoot it could be ski and coupon hunting? We would have to shoot fellow couponers to get to the stack first......but I digress.

well I'd better get in more training...you know the Olympics are coming to Vancouver in Feb 2010!

[makeupartist]

[jojos_n_kelowna]

the only crazy thing I knows of Smartcanucks are the crazy prices of stuff we are getting!

[Trixie27]

You scored! I'm so jealous that you got the Go Fresh Apricot soap on sale. My cashier was adamant that head office said 'select items' for the Go Fresh sale and since it wasn't shelf tagged at the $1.88 I wasn't going to get it at that price. So I got two lemongrass and two green tea ones.
