My next post is about couponning (in canada) so keep your eyes peeled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-255846 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 21:45:53 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 255846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It never seems worth the effort because I'm also in Canada, and it's a small town with only two grocery stores. I think Safeway doesn't even have coupons, just deals with the card? And the other local grocery store has nice cashiers who just swipe a coupon from the stack when it comes up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-255734 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 14:17:57 +0000 MsMamaBear 255734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure do I LOVE CVS, Publix and Kroger! Double up to 50 cents everyday and BOGOs at Publix and gas savings with Kroger!</p> <p>You can find a lot for organic food. I never ate anything organic til I started couponing and could justify paying that much for something.LOL</p> <p>We need a couponing area here!LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-255662 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 11:50:03 +0000 mrs. wagon 255662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I only use CVS because I like it the best.. haha. So I purchase if there's a coupon, a sale, and extra bucks. Then I use the extra bucks to pay for the things that don't get me extra bucks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-245109 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:55:51 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 245109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I've never heard of this to be honest, but I'm intrigued. I think with time I've come to know what's a good deal or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-245103 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:52:47 +0000 looch 245103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, another question, who keeps a price comparison book? Is it worth doing for the items you are brand loyal for? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-243656 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 14:21:57 +0000 looch 243656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: sounds exactly what I would like to do. i guess i should keep an eye on coupons that have long expiry dates and figure out the drugstores (CVS, Walgreens). Which drugstore do you use? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-243601 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 13:48:21 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 243601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine: I'll be writing up a coupon post in my financial series. Too bad, I don't know much about couponing in the US though :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-243579 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 13:33:00 +0000 Clementine 243579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunglasses: thanks, Mrs. Sunglasses! you are quite wise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-243391 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 12:13:17 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 243391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine: You can ask around. We don't have nearly as many coupons in the newspapers as you do, so I just ask my father and mother to keep coupons for me. Ask those who don't use them. It's not like it's going to waste. But generally, if the newspaper is 2$ (thats how much it costs here on weekends) and you have over 20$ in coupons (that you'd likely use) then i'd say yes. its worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-243388 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 12:12:10 +0000 Clementine 243388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: great links! thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-243386 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 12:11:44 +0000 Clementine 243386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my question for all the couponers, do you have to order the newspaper? i feel like it would be a waste of money. what are your thoughts? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-243274 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 11:21:13 +0000 mrs. wagon 243274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I stockpile body wash, shampoo/conditioner, toothpaste (although I've slowed down on that since we don't use too much and we have so many tubes now!), toothbrushes, face wash, makeup, hand soap, laundry detergent, dish soap... I think that's it. For food I only coupon what I'll need soon and I try to stockpile things like pasta, etc. but the coupons for those things are few and far between. I'd never stockpile a million bottles of ketchup because we just don't have the space!!! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-242794 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 02:46:53 +0000 looch 242794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: thanks for the site!</p> <p>Here's my thing (we're moving back to the US at the end of the year)...I really don't care what kinds of body care stuff I use, so I don't want to pay for it if I don't have to, BUT I don't want 100 bottles of ketchup as the trade off, YKWIM? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-241935 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 11:44:06 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 241935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HeatherlovesKenny: We rarely have great coupons here in Canada... but right now I came across the best one ever. </p> <p>There was a promo 3 cases of 12 cans of Nestea for 10$ but on each case there was a coupon for a free case (next purchase) so I cut them up, got 3 free cases with 3 new free coupons, and I go back (it's endless) and yes, we drink LOTS of ice tea so this is the deal of the century. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-241919 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 11:30:25 +0000 BoogieBea 241919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do it when I see come across a coupon but I don't actively look for coupons unless I'm buying things online. I stock up on household items every time I see a good sale though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-241913 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 11:25:46 +0000 HLK208 241913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to! I get so motivated by the crazy coupon shows but then I can never find great coupons. I think I need to get the newspaper to get decent coupons... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-241906 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 11:19:18 +0000 regberadaisy 241906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I finally got my husband started on it and it's awesome.</p> <p>Bummer that you can't stack :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-241900 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 11:16:44 +0000 mrs. wagon 241900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Couponmom.com! </p> <p>I have a binder and everything. Couponing is a way of life... Takes a good amount of time but you can save a lot of money! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-241608 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 08:10:21 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 241608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I wish I could help but I only know the Canadian sites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-241604 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 08:06:08 +0000 bpcmarj 241604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: my mom is a hardcore couponer. She gets up to 5 sunday papers a week for the coupons. She gets tons of free body wash and shampoo. Usually from CVS or Walgreens (using their store rewards or sales as well). Google coupon match-ups and the store you want to shop in :) Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-241586 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 07:39:42 +0000 looch 241586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know there are some websites out there that do the work for you, but I can't for the life of me find them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-241581 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 07:35:11 +0000 MsLipGloss 241581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope - except for the coupons you find in the store or attached to the products that the cashiers remove and scan for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-241564 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 07:19:48 +0000 looch 241564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to learn how to do this, especially for shampoo and body wash. I always look for a sale, but I am not brand loyal and I really would love to get stuff for free if possible.</p> <p>Any ideas on where to really learn how to do this? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-239866 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 09:16:09 +0000 mrs. bird 239866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: you might be surprised how much you can save on natural &amp; organic products! I find a lot of my savings on those comes from buying discounted vouchers- like 50% off for ecomom or $10 off at vitacost. Some blogs post more natural &amp; organic sale items too. This wk is a lot of back to school stuff, but I find moneysavingmom (she also posts a lot of gluten free recipes &amp; savings, you're GF right?) and thethriftycouple <a href="http://thethriftycouple.com/category/stores/organic/" rel="nofollow">http://thethriftycouple.com/category/stores/organic/</a> post a lot as well as Savingnaturally <a href="http://savingnaturally.com/" rel="nofollow">http://savingnaturally.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-239676 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 21:36:00 +0000 Mrs. Pen 239676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to, and I would save 25-50% of my grocery bill with each grocery trip. But since switching to 75% organic, it's nearly impossible to find coupons for the foods I eat now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-239660 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 21:06:56 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 239660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: Oh that isn't even possible in Canada. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-239659 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 21:06:19 +0000 MrsBrewer 239659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunglasses: yup exactly! I guess I'm just thinking of that extreme couponing show on TLC where they show people buying like 100 bottles of mustard because they have the coupons! There is now way they will use it all before the expiration! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-239655 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 21:03:22 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 239655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I don't have crazy amount of anything yet. Max is 3 bottles of say a cleaning product. But I only got it because it was cheaper than getting 1 at regular price :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-coupon-1#post-239653 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 21:01:35 +0000 MrsBrewer 239653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to! I'm not very diligent in it, but I normally always try to go grocery shopping when my grocery store doubles coupons (Wednesday and Saturday's) I normally try to use 5ish per shopping trip. But like you, I never buy too much of something that I wont use. To me that's just selfish unless you plan to donate it to a shelter or something similar </p>
