Coupons/money off sites?
 
Was reading VanSun today (trying to get up to speed on stuff ahead of our move in december) and they had a story on a woman "couponing" I used to do this a lot here in uk ten years ago when kids were small, but hardly bother now as I never find vouchers for stuff I can use.

Does anyone have any good coupon or voucher sites for Canada (specifically BC) Thanks.

Very difficult to do in Canada - the recent resurgence in "couponing" normally refers to people doing it in the US.... There's lots of US sites related to this, but very few Canadian ones (simply because there's less coupons/deals to be had).

You are joking right? I get like 10 times more coupons here than in the UK. I sometimes save up to $40 on a weekly grocery shopping by using free coupons.
Self check out machines at Loblaws take coupons now, so it's really to use them

I concur, i save so much money with coupons for free stuff and money off, I also combine my vouchers with in store sales. for instance I got a free sample of Purex laundry detergent and with it came a $3 off coupon, well shoppers drug mart put it on sale for $2.99 so the store ended up owing me 0.01 cents LOL take a little time and energy but its worth it. I have enough laundry detergent till the end of the year and paid practically nothing for it.

on facebook there is a page called 'Free stuff in Canada' thats good and I use www.websaver.ca

The best deal last week was Magnum ice cream for $3.99 a box at Loblaws and Superstore after using their own coupon (free at the entrance)

I saved $65 using coupons to buy an Android Tablet at Staples not long ago. They email those coupons out to you every fortnight, so they do encourage their use

Not everyone leaves in areas where they get flyers ;) For those folks though, there is the online version to print out

$3.29 is the regular price in the US - they regularly have coupons off for Magnum's too....

Now that's what I'm talking about.... Much easier to get better coupon deals in the US.

I think we all had this debate on here only a couple or three months ago. Lol
To coupon or not to coupon; that is the question!
