In Canada, coupons are a great way to save money on grocery bills. You can easily find them as there are many sources you can gather them from such as your local newspapers, your weekly Publisac (for Quebec residents), the internet or even inside stores. I personally enjoy looking for free samples and coupons on the Internet as this enables me to see what other people order on a daily basis, read reviews and share my own experience. You can sign up for the newsletter of websites such as freesamples-canada.com to get a daily update of all the freebies and coupons available in Canada. This website is great as it is updated very frequently and holds a large community of active Facebook fans that share and trade coupons and give reviews about the quality of the products they order. The website offers all sorts of deals going from free samples and contests to internet coupons and coupons that are mailed to your home. You can then choose the ones you need to start the saving adventure!
Once you gather all the coupons you need, you can go through price match-up and coupon stacking to save even more. Price match-up is when you use coupons on products that are on sale while coupon staking is when you use multiple coupons with different UPC codes toward the purchase of one item in a single transaction. An example of coupon stacking would be when you use a product manufacturer coupon, an internet coupon along with a third coupon that you received by mail to make savings on the same product. But be careful as not all stores would allow that. Indeed, it may happen that a cashier refuses coupons because the store doesn’t allow stacking or because the coupons are fraudulent or simply because he/she is new and doesn’t know the store coupon policy well. I believe that the best way to deal with such a situation is to always be ready. First of all, read carefully the official policy of the store where you’re planning to redeem your coupons. This way, you’ll learn if the store accepts internet coupons, stacking, price matches and other savings methods related to your coupon redemption. Then, print the policy and bring it with you to the store. If it happens that the cashier doesn’t accept your coupons, ask to speak with the head cashier or the store manager and let them assess your coupons to make sure they meet the store standards. Don’t forget to stay polite and keep smiling as you represent the ``couponers`` community. In most cases, the cashier is new or just unused to the store’s couponing policies. But never give up! If what you claim is stated and approved in the store policy, then they should definitely accept your coupon!
I hope that the few tips presented in this article would be useful for new couponers and freebie hunters who would like to enter the couponing adventure and save big on their bills. Happy couponing!
