That’s one awesome shopping trip!! OMG!!

I only hope to be like that one day. I tend to focus on the freebies and deals. I am not a huge couponer but am going to start spending more time focusing on it. You prove that it CAN be done.

Too bad,,,I went to Walmart last night and they won’t allow me to use all my coupon ,they said limit one coupon per transaction,still I didn’t understand how to use all of them in one shopping.

How did you avoid paying tax on FPC. I have used a couple in the past and I have ended up paying just the tax, but I see on your receipt, there was no tax added.

Thats amazing. I just started about a month ago seriously couponing before i just used a coupon every once in a while. Yesterday was my first time really saving and i saved 19%! I was so excited getting four bottles of resolve for freeee 🙂

I am just curious how long it took you to master couponing. In which I mean, getting the saving of over 80%. I only started a couple months ago, I’m definitely getting better. Especially watching for sales and ad matching. But when I go out, the most I save is on average about 50%. Which honestly isn’t bad, but would love to save more money for sure.

Do you have any tips for me? I do relieve you have been doing it much longer than me, but would love to know how to maximize my couponing. Thanks

In reply to laurie. It wasn't the same coupon you are referring to :)I had 2x $2.00 Off ANY Royale product from a promotion on Facebook/GoCoupons.ca in January (I believe)

My Royale coupon is the same Laurie…my husband is going there today to see if he can use it. Will let you know the results…:)

I’m surprised No Frills let you use the Royale toilet paper coupon. The one I had said it was only for 12 or 24 rolls.

Hmm I like that method actually lol it feels more like “Extreme Couponing” having a monster total going down, down, down :p Back when I first started couponing and did it that way, it was always the most nerve racking having $100’s in total and hoping it worked!

I noticed you were able to “stack” too – don’t know what else to call it –
with the peelies. When I went this morning, they also had peelies on the Windex for $2 WUB1 (separate display in front of the frozen food aisle with veggies in it) …would be a great deal if you still have any BOGO’s to use up! If you can use a BOGO and 2x $2 peelies and PM Loblaws for $2.97, you’ll get an overage if my tired brain isn’t mistaken!

In reply to ThriftyRebecca. Hey Rebecca! It all depends on the cashier. Usually they do take the coupons with the items but that cashier had a slightly different method. She took the coupons with the products but held them all to be entered at the end. I think its all just a matter of personal preference with the cashier :)

Very awesome shopping guys! Nice to know at least a few other couponers scored good deals this weekend 🙂

Just posted a brag about our trips!

Can I just asked a question about your Walmart receipt? We are in Peterborough too and they ask us to do the coupons after every item, how did yours end up at the end?yours
