April 17, 2012-What's Happening

Am off to Shoppers Drug Mart today for their bonus 20x the Shoppers Optimum points event! Planning to pick up milk, toilet paper, Lady Speed Stick antiperspirant, Depends for my Grandma, Mission Impossible 4 Bluray, and some other odds and ends. Actually have quite a few things to pick up, so the hubby is coming to help--I'm sure he's amused! Just love my points, that's all!

With the BOGO free coupon from Websaver, or with the $0.50 off coupons found on tearpads in store, you can get Dr. Oetker Shirriff Mousse at Sobeys for $0.50. Not a bad deal! Assorted varieties available. Picked up a stash, as they are good to have on hand for a quick sweet treat!


Off to take Liam to school, then drag the hubby to Shoppers Drug Mart! Happy clipping and saving y'all!

Revamp In Progress

I am in the process of revamping my blog, not only the look of it, but the functionality of it. I want to make it clear, easy to use and fun to visit. I would love to have some input on what you all want to see--more or less of, what you think of the look and the content, etc. So let me know. I have put ads on my blog, in the hopes to increase traffic, and possibly profit.

Does everyone want to see more giveaways? Get the weekly coupon match-ups back? Let me know guys!

Happy clipping y'all!

BBQ Season is upon us...in a big way!

Had a great time doing the segment on Breakfast Television on Friday! You can catch it by going here!!! It was a great experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

And, I have edited the info and POSTED DATES on my Coupon Classes Page! Contact me to reserve a spot or with any questions that come up! Super excited about seeing all of you!

There are some great deals out there right now. Especially when it comes to FREE BBQ Sauce!! Head over to Wal-mart, and pick up some Sweet Baby Rays sauce for free when you use your coupons from Smartsource. I ended up getting 40 bottles! I'm not keeping them all, some of them have already been given away! Bicks Relish is on for $1.50 at Superstore, so grab your $0.75 off coupons and snag some cheap relish! The corn relish is to die for on hot dogs and ham... yum-o...

There has also been some great new coupons coming out too! Love it! And a great tip: request free samples on a regular basis, they almost always come with coupons!!

I may not be on here much this week, as I am trying to clean, organize and pack for our trip to Montana this weekend! Can't wait! Going to try to snag some super deals down there!

Until next time, happy clipping! And be sure to register soon!

Big Changes & Bigger Hauls

So, as most of you know, my hubby lost his job last night. Completely unexpected by everyone, leaving us completely numb and confused. He had been there for 10 years, so we definitely didn't see this coming. Thank you to everyone for your amazing support--it is definitely appreciated! On the flip side though, thank goodness for couponing. Other than it being therapeutic, it is a necessity now! I am so glad that I starting building up a stockpile of necessary items too! A 1 year supply of dish soap, 2+ years of cleaning supplies, 6 months of laundry soap, 1 year of dryer products, 3 months of diapers--he will potty train soon, 3-4 months of toilet paper and paper towels, and other assorted products to cover us. Very thankful. Not to mention, ziploc bags and containers! So, at least with the stockpile, it takes off some of the financial stress that may arise!

And, as most of you know as well, I will be doing a segment on Friday May 13th on Calgary CityTV Breakfast Television. Discussing extreme couponing, what else! Should be awesome--very excited! So be sure to watch, I will try to get a clip of it for all of you to see!

The newspaper has cut me off of my supply of inserts--they cut everyone off that was lucky enough to get them, as TOO many people were calling to ask for them, and the suppliers--Redplum, Smartsource and Brandsaver--were getting testy about it. One of the reps from Brandsaver even called me, and was pretty nasty. So to them I say: Whatever! I already have other sources, never fear! It's hilarious though, as all of the extras, instead of saving people money, will now go into a big shredder. Nice! Good on ya... Am I bitter? Maybe... *giggles*

The moments you guys have been waiting for. Pics and details of my recent hauls--have been going bigger, harder and better. I have to now for sure! Here they are:

Walmart:

All of this cost $5.59. Seriously. Love overages. Should have cost $96.28. A savings of $90.69!!!!!

 London Drugs:

3X Pampers, 3X Wipes, Jumbo Head & Shoulders (PM'd Shoppers), 8X Old Spice Shower Gel--Cost: $9, Saved: $72 in coupons, $21 by price-matching!

Pampers Diapers and Wipes (FREE), 4X Stayfree Pads (FREE), 2X Tide Liquid: $4 for both! Savings: $43 with coupons, another $9 by price matching!

2X Pampers, 4X Wipes and 1X Easy-Ups Cost: $2, Saved: $46 with coupons, $24 by price-matching!!

 So there you have it! It's been a hellish few days, but we can get through it. And hey, I've still got my coupons! Happy clipping everyone!

Marathon Shopping Week--Where's My Spandex?

Am carefully preparing for my shopping trips this week. Okay, fine, I'll admit it. I have a thing for re-writing lists. It's the anal organized side of me. It's also that I like to make sure I don't forget anything, as I don't want to do repeat trips to grocery stores if I don't have to. Except for London Drugs, they are getting to know me a little too well there!

Safeway has toothpaste on sale this week for $0.99 per tube. I have $0.75 off coupons (from tearpads in-store and Brandsaver inserts), dropping it to $0.24 per tube. Awesome. Do I need any more? Probably not. But at that price, it's an affordable donation to the Women's Shelter. Ocean Spray, as previously mentioned is on sale for $2.48 at Superstore, and with my $1 off coupons, brings it down to $1.48. Planning on buying 12 jugs of the juice... Yummy! You can find the link for the juice by clicking here! They also have Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner on for $2.38, and if you have the $0.50 coupons from the brandsaver inserts, it brings it down to $1.88--wicked deal! Picking up 4 of those...

Still debating the pizzas... And I have a bunch of BOGO Sweet Baby Rays BBQ Sauce coupons, it's trying to find it thats the problem! Walmart has it for $2.39 per bottle, but never have it in stock. Safeway has it for $4.49 per bottle, yeah, no thanks! Will check Superstore! BBQ season is coming, so best to be prepared!

Also, if anyone needs Advil products there are printable coupons over here that will save you $2, and they have coupon zone coupons at Superstore on "the big coupon wall" for $2 off, so you can stack them together! Or if it's a Motrin kind of a day (4 kids can be a good trigger Jessica!) there is a $5 off coupon when you go here. There also some other good printable coupons there too!

It's going to be a busy week. Lots of mail outs to some great fans, lots of shopping and lots of coupons. I will definitely keep everyone posted of the deals and adventures!

Thank you to all of my new found fans! I'm glad to be able to help out! Until next time, happy clipping!
