I wiped the dust off my printer and it was ready for action. I googled my way through many sites and used an old Hotmail account just for signing up to couponing sites. The amount and daily spam can be overwhelming so I highly recommend an email account just for that purpose. I decided at first to go the coupons you can have mailed to your house, but soon realized that was a far too long wait and needed action now.
So I started printing, printing, and MORE printing. Now they say only clip the coupons that you need but we are the type of family that waits for the cupboards to go bare before shopping, so I clipped everything I saw. I needed everything!
Here’s the part that gets ya! I had a coupon for $3 off Listerine and according to my e-newsletters I had seen that at Shoppers they had small bottle of Listerine 2 for $3.99 and that was it. So now completely overly excited I printed and clipped and was off to the store. Tip #1, don’t flaunt your magic! As we approached the check out my fiancé joked about my new coupon obsession and that raised red flags for the cashier. First I had the wrong flavour (like really?), then I was only supposed to used 1 coupon per transaction (good thing/ bad thing I had hubby) and finally “Well see here, this is $3 off and the product is technically on sale @ $1.99 so I couldn’t possible give you the deal!”. And that was it I was so angry and embarrassed I walked out, even though the coupon said per transaction not each item.
S I pulled up my heals and heading straight to another location. I gave her the product; I gave her the coupons, AND THEN gave her my optimum card which took off the additional savings. I walked out with 4 flask size bottles of mouth wash and had only paid with tax about .60 each. Now considering they are about $3 each I was over joyed!
