Admin Coupon Ethics
March 15th, 2011 Admin No blog for a while, I guess I needed to formulate this in my head before putting it in print. I know there are many sites out there with articles and blog posts on ethical couponing, so it is not new and will probably never change. Free is no longer good enough, people need to [...]
Found the $3 Eversleek coupons!
March 5th, 2011 Admin I have mentioned several times how much I like L’oreal Everpure and the new Eversleek products so I was very happy to see that there was a $3 coupon to be used on any of their line this month, yet no one had found the coupon. A fellow SmartCanucker mentioned finding them at a Rexall [...]

No Comments »January Savings
February 8th, 2011 Admin I didn’t do any major stocking up in January, so this is mostly groceries. I am getting back into the habit of tracking everything rather than just coupon shopping. I notice a lot of people use the same tracker and have a coupon on every item but unless that is all junk they are eating, [...]
New Year … New Goals
January 1st, 2011 Admin As I mentioned in my earlier posts on my couponing resolutions (posts one & two), this year I wanted to be better organised to maximize savings
1. Organize coupons better – CHECK! My binder system seems to be working well for me and I have my new huge accordian file for trading. I went through both [...]
Women’s Day In the Courtyard
August 26th, 2010 Admin This is an annual event, but the first time I went. I met up with some of the Smart Canuck Toronto ladies just before 10 to line up for our goodie bags from CHUM FM
Lots of freebies!
Insulated lunchbag from Natural Selections Deli Meats (and a pile of $1 coupons)
6 x Nestle Water
1 x Eska Water [...]
Checking out the sales
July 21st, 2010 Admin Earlier this year, I was disappointed when the local newspaper stopped delivering store flyers to us (thankfully we get them again) but it made me look into alternative sources for the flyers and finding the sales.
Of course my first stop is always SmartCanucks, you can usually find all of the weeks flyers posted (and usually [...]

July 6th, 2010 Admin Survivor: Ontario Welfare Edition mentioned that people on social assistance get $27 a week for food. Ten prominent Torontians lived this (admittedly through a food bank basket so they did not have the option for couponing) and most failed miserably.
Imagine you went to the grocery store and purchased these items: a dozen potatoes; two pears; [...]
I Want Candy
July 2nd, 2010 Admin I Want Candy (which my BF embarrassingly sang the whole way home)
The British shop there is having a huge sale, and it included my fave chocolate from back home, Galaxy Cookie Crumble, the family size bars, which he usually sells for $5, for $1.49. I had to have them.
8 x Galaxy Cookie Crumble @ $1.49 [...]

June 12th, 2010 Admin As well as photography, I have neglected my photoshop skills lately, apart from an odd edit here and there and some simple banners, I don’t think I have really used photoshop since April when I did a project for work.
Last night, a thread on Smart Canucks was posted reminding people to post a link back [...]
