Ok, I know this sounds bizzare but......

...Is anyone else excited for the flyers coming out tomorrow?!!!....I mean I guess if they come that's cool...whatever....................OK I'm a Dork! I AM EXCITED FOR THE FLYERS! :)

I can't wait to pair up my coupons with any great sales that are lying in wait between those golden (ok slightly off white) papers!

I am also looking forward to receiving my first trade coupons in the mail. For those of you who don't know what I mean, allow me to sit down, put my feet up and explain.....If you go on my new favorite site, www.smartcanucks.ca you can start to trade coupons with other fellow couponers. Just go to the website, click on the Coupons Tab and then at the bottom of the drop menu it says Coupon Trading. Click on there and your coupon world will explode in joy! You will find lists upon lists of coupons from smartcanuck users who are willing to trade those coupons in exhange for coupons on their wish list (located at the bottom of the individual's list). *Please note you will need to set up a free account before you join but it is well worth it and it doesn't take long. Currently I am awaiting coupons on Arm & Hammer cat litter (exciting, I know) fishing equipment, Glade Fabric spray and Ocean spray juices just to name a few.

As soon as I have perused the flyers I will update my findings on here in case any of you have similar coupons you can use. OK, time to go to bed and count coupons to try to sleep.........kidding.....just kidding.

Savings Continued from Tuesday

Hello folks,

I had started typing up this blog a few days ago but I guess with the updates the site has undergone it looks like it got deleted (*starts slaming head against table*) But that is life, right! (*continues to slam head against table*)
Anyway here is a brief recap of the rest of my Tuesday sales/coupon shopping. Lets do this in point form shall we, it always looks nicer.

* Went to Pharmasave-Purchased L'Oreal Hair Mask Conditioner (Regular $6.99) Was on sale for $2.99- Had a $2.00 off coupon- Came to $0.99 before tax (YAY!)
* Went to Zellers next -Purchased Garnier Fructis No Frizz styling cream (Regular $4.99) Was on sale for $2.49-Had a $1.00 off coupon-Came to $1.49 before tax (DOUBLE YAY!)
* Finally went to Shoppers- Purchased Olay Body Wash (Nice Lilac smelly stuff *sniff* Ha!) (Regular $4.99) Was on sale for $3.99-Had a $2.00 off coupon-Came to $1.99 before tax (TRIPLE YAY!)

So I ended up getting close to $20.00 worth of products for a grand total of......are you ready for this......are you sure.....you better sit down...$5.80! Not. Too. Shabby!

Okay so I know what you are thinking "Geeze that's good for beauty products but what about groceries you silly Newf!" Well first of all, I am not a Newf all though I do admire them deeply, I am from Nova Scotia not Newfoundland (Beautiful province by the way). Second I did do some grocery shopping and got some very good deals. Please see below for details.

* Janes Chicken Nuggets (Remember this from my previous post) Used my $2.00 coupon from the http://www.surgele.ca/Concours/Produits-Participants/Zone-Coupons.aspx website (that was all in french by the way) They were on sale for $6.99, got them for $4.99.
* Yoplait Strawberry Yogurt- Had a $1.00 off coupon from www. gocoupons.com. It was on sale for $2.99, got it for $1.99
* Cavendish Crispy Fries-There was an instore coupon for them for $1.00 off. They were on for $2.99 (Regular Price) and I got them for $1.99
* Kellogs Chocolately Delicious snack bar- Had a $0.50 off coupon from www.save.ca. They were on sale for 2 for $5.00 and I got them for $4.50

I know it may not seem like very much however it does bring down the cost of your grocery bill. I ended up saving $4.50 on that trip which I can now use towards something else.
That concluded my trip into town. Looking forward to next week with hopefully more savings in tow.

Welcome Bluenosers and Non-Bluenosers!

Hello Everyone! My name is Alice and I have decided (like many of you already) to start a blog about my new favourite pass time, Couponing! However I have been looking around and I haven't found much in the way of blogs dedicated to the East Coast Canadians. I apologize though if any of you are reading this going "Well obviously she didn't see my East coast blog!" Really really sorry...sometimes my internet surfing skills suck :(

For those of you though who are not familiar with the term Bluenoser, it is used to describe a person from Nova Scotia, Canada such as myself. It's also named after a very famous Canadian fishing and racing schooner that was built here in the same province (You can see it on the Canadian dime).

So yeah that's where that comes from and as much as I enjoy talking about the lovely province of Nova Scotia and it's history, that's not what this blog is about.

I thought It would be neat idea to start keeping track of my of the deals I find and the coupons I can use them for. This is not only for my benefit but for others as well as things now and days seem to be getting more expensive then ever (*cough GAS*-excuse me) So why not try to have your dollar stretch as much as possible.

Please feel free to leave me comments on other sales that you see I will do my best to put them on here. While this site is certainly open to anyone who should stumble upon it, I really am only focusing on Coupons and deals that I find here in Nova Scotia. So if you find that I mention a deal on here and you go and try to find it at your store with your coupons it may not work.

Alright, let's not put this off any longer I am going to start posting the deals that I find in the next upcoming posts. I hope you find this helpful and hey, if I can let someone know about some great savings so they can put their money towards something else, then I've done my job :)
