My First Ever Bloggedy

So, since I have found myself currently unemployed, I thought I'd give "couponing" a try to see if I can save our family some money.  I was motivated to do this after watching a show where people in the US were "Extreme Couponers" and got hundreds of dollars worth of products for next to nothing.  This seems to be a more difficult task in Canada as I have yet to find a grocery store that has double coupon days or allows coupon stacking, but I'm determined to do my best to keep as much of our money in our pockets as possible while shopping. My saving grace has been London Drugs which DOES allow coupon stacking.  Last week I picked up some large bottles of Jergens lotion and only had to pay the tax on them. Yea London Drugs! 


My plan for this blog is to research and post ads and links for coupons / deals available to us in the Lower Mainland to help others who want (and need) savings tools, yet don't have as much time on their hands to find them as I find myself with. 


To start out I'm going to post the links for the printable coupons for the Jergen's Lotion.

• http://www.groceryalerts.ca/jergens-moisturizer-printable-coupon-120ml-or-larger-1-50-coupon

There are also coupons on the shelf at the store for $3 off when you buy 2 bottles.  Combining all these coupons (stacking) will more than cover the price for each bottle (approx $6.99 each) and you will only have to pay the tax on them.  London Drugs does also price match (to a point) and The Real Canadian Super Store has these bottles of lotion on sale for $4.99 so you can also bring in a flyer and price match if you want. 

I'm also going to post below some addresses to some good coupon sites. You will be required to register your info with the sites, but once you have done this you can pick the coupons you want and they will mail them to you.

Well, that's it for my first entry.  Hopefully I'll have more great deals to tell you about soon.  In the mean time, if you have any helpful advice, I'd love to hear it.
