I received an email today from the head of public relations for London Drugs. They have updated their coupon policy again, and put heavier restrictions on it, due to couponers abusing the policy. Please see their updated information by clicking here!
You can NOT stack SC Johnson coupons any more, and they will NOT allow you to pre-order. Please be respectful of this change in the policy!

Filming With Shaw
So, it has been a hectic week. Wednesday was the second part of filming with Shaw TV, which was an amazing experience. Did a shopping trip at London Drugs while being filmed--never easy--but fun, nonetheless. It is amazing all of the opportunities that have been coming at me lately, slightly overwhelming though. Just as I am wrapping up filming with Shaw, I get contacted by a reporter from Metro newspaper, who wants to do a story on me. So, I have already completed part one of that interview, and the last part will be done at our house tomorrow. Should be printed next week in not only the Calgary paper, but across country hopefully! And Shaw should be airing next week. So it's a big week!
A big thank you to Rochelle and her adorable daughter for all of your help. And thank you to all of the staff at Beddington London Drugs. And thank you to Shaw TV for the opportunity. Here's details on the haul from the Shaw filming at London Drugs:
 |
| Paid $59.84, Saved $229.24 (coupons and price matching) |
As for the shopping trip at London Drugs for Metro Newspaper, I went smaller, but still scored some wicked deals!
 |
| Paid $19.92, Saved $78.75!!! |
I will keep everyone posted on print and television release dates! Happy clipping y'all!

Back From Vacation....Wasn't Long Enough!!!
Well, I'm back from Montana. Our trip definitely wasn't long enough, but fun nonetheless. Managed to snag a couple of the US versions of SmartSource inserts--so jealous! They have some great coupons in them--even $1 off's for People magazine! Sigh! They had some great deals down there grocery wise, the hubby and I stocked up on fun flavors of diet Mountain Dew, as they had 12 packs on for $1.99. Yum! And lots of tins of green chiles--couldn't beat $0.67 per tin--they are over $2 here, depending on where you go.
A big thank you to all my lovely mail-out ladies for the goodies that keep coming in my mailbox--have been sorting more coupons to send. Thank you!
The coupon classes have been filling up quickly--be sure to register for an in-class session, or one of my mail out options. Check out all the info on my Coupon Class page. If these go well, will be looking at offering advanced classes, as well as branching out into cutting grocery budgets, etc. I've gotten very good at this lately!
Did a bit of couponing today. They have Purex laundry soap on at Safeway this week, so when you combine their BOGO sale with $3-off coupons, you can score 2 jugs for just over $4. Picked up 4 jugs, and while I was at it, got 4 bottles of Franks Red Hot sauce on BOGO, with $1-off coupons. Also did a small haul at London Drugs today. Picture and details are below.
Was a good London Drugs trip, had a bit of a hard time with the cashier, but it ended well. Am prepping all my class material the next few days, so may be a bit of a stranger on here! Happy clipping all!

Getting Juiced & Keeping Hairy Legs At Bay
I want to thank everyone for their fantastic support with my blog, facebook page and emails! I didn't realize my blog would become this popular! Thank you!! Slightly overwhelming, but it's keeping me out of trouble! Not keeping me from shopping though!
A big thank you for the email from Lina over at Grocery Alerts--will definitely look into the coupon trader application--will be easier for everyone! Have been working my butt off getting all the envelopes done--should be all out by Monday!
Had an interesting thought provoking type conversation with my favorite lady at Shoppers Drug Mart. She made an awesome point about extreme couponing and hoarding. Extreme couponing is fine, as long as it does not exceed or cross over into hoarding. But, keeping a good and healthy supply of necessities, like toilet paper (not for 40 years), paper towels, cleaning products, and non perishables is fine. Smart really. What would happen if there was a job loss, especially in a single income family!?! At least you would have your basics covered, and then you just have to worry about the fresh stuff! Something for every one to consider!
Here are my deals for today. Hit Wal-Mart and London Drugs today, got some great deals! Here goes!
Wal-Mart has these juices on sale right now for $2.98. The printable coupon can be found here for $1 off, which brings it down to $1.98 each. The sweetest part of getting the juice: Under the label on each bottle is another coupon for a FREE 1L of Oasis juice! Bonus!
Hope that helps! Price matching and coupon stacking is key at London Drugs! More adventures to come tomorrow! Going to Wal-mart with the hubby so I can double coupon and get double overages back! Wish us luck! Will keep you all posted! Happy clipping!

Coupon Stock, Tips, Tricks, and Deals!
Hello Hello! Needed to take a day to organize my coupons and figure out some shopping trips! And also, to do up a list of current coupons that I have stock of! You can check that out on the Current Coupon Stock tab at the top of the blog. I figured it would simplify things, as I have had a very large amount of emails requesting coupons. Don't get me wrong, I love getting emails! But I needed to come up with a system to tackle it!! So let me know what you think!
On that note, I have been receiving alot of emails with questions. Questions about how I get so many coupons, how to use them, how I get my deals, store policy information. I would love to answer them all---and here goes!
Yes, I get multiple copies of inserts--Red Plum, Smartsource, and Brandsaver (limited on those). It took alot of phone calls, begging and pleading. Trust me. I also have an agreement with a convenience store by my house, and they let me raid their papers--an excellent option for everyone, especially little mom and pop type stores! With regards to getting multiple mail out coupons, I have multiple email addresses and 3 mailing addresses that they go to. Printable coupons are easy--just print more!!!
I have favorite stores, as everyone does. London Drugs--they allow coupon stacking. Enough said. Superstore is great too--you can use one of their coupons from their wall, as well as 1 manufacturer coupon on an item. Wal-Mart is great too, as they pay the overage amount onto your bill if your coupon amount is more than the actual item price. Great to use on trial sizes--some coupons do specify that you can not use it on trial size, so be cautious.
Sales fliers can be your best friend. I love when the new ones come out. You can use them to scout out the best possible deals with coupons, you can use them to pricematch at other stores.
If you find a good deal, buy as many as you can afford. When I find household items, like toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies, etc., on sale or on sale plus coupons, I do tend to stock up. Last night, I bought 5 of the big jars of Cheez Whiz--on sale for $4.87 at No Frills, plus another $1 off each with coupons. Or the 1 Litre jars of Bicks dill pickles. Bought 4, as they were on sale for $1.99 each, and then I had $0.75 off coupons, so $1.24 per jar. Crest Toothpaste was on sale at Safeway for $0.99 per tube, and I had $0.75 off coupons, so I bought 8 of them at $0.24 per tube. Couldn't pass them up! Plus I love pickles!!
I think I've covered all that I can. Did another run to London Drugs yesterday and did really well:
Always fun shopping at London Drugs! Tomorrow it's off to Wal-mart and Canadian Tire-they have the Vileda ProMist mop and refills on sale!! Hope you all enjoyed! Happy clipping!

Day 1 Of The Shopping Marathon...
It seems that my blog/facebook page has increased in popularity--thank you to everyone! And a huge shout out to Cassie at Mrs. January for such a sweet mention in her blog! Glad your box arrived safe and sound! It also means that I can shop/coupon more! Well, that's what I told my hubby as an excuse anyways! It was a long day, but I was prepared for it. Had my lists, coupons and price match flyer ready, dropped the kiddo off at preschool--we barely made it, he has taken a liking to sleeping until 10am--then was off to Superstore. Here are some pictures and details of my finds! Coupon savings were $38.33!! And spent enough to get the 3 free green bins!!
So all in all it was a great haul! Saved a good amount of money, stocked my freezer and my juice stash... Then there was London Drugs.... Used double Tide coupons, and got 4 bottles of 64 Load Tide for $24. And alot more... the pics below will explain... My coupon savings were $99.00, and my pricematching to Safeway, saved me $15!
Then a quick stop for yogurt at Co-op, supposed to be on sale... got yogurt and this:
Very successful day! Gonna smell great, not show my roots, kiddo will have a butt cover, no static cling, and get my vitamin c quotient, not to mention be prepped for bbq season for a bit!!!

Bits & Pieces
I have tried with many unsuccessful attempts to create a budget. Whether it be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, never fails, something comes up. Of course we have our regular bills, which I have reduced down. Who really needs all those channels? And all those features on your phone? Not really needed. We have cut down on eating out--also helps our diet. Reduced unneeded driving trips at times, and of course, use coupons whenever possible.
There is something therapeutic about clipping coupons. Keeps me busy, and also then I know that it will in the long run save my family money. And it gives me my shopping fix. And it has taught me alot of organization skills that I never thought I had, and has also introduced me to alot of different people!
So, on that note, here are some pictures from recent shopping trips, and all the price details.
