These were part of the RedPlum coupon insert from our local FREE newspaper. (some of my local friends have been having problems getting their free newspaper. I highly suggest you call the local paper each week until it comes regularly. I called the Waterloo Chronicle every week for 1.5 months until it finally came without me having to call. It’s worth the effort. And the ad companies want you to have their ads, that’s why the paper is free.)
-save $1.50 off Arm & Hammer Spinbrush
-save $1.00 off Arm & Hammer Kids Spinbrush
-save $1.00 off Arm & Hammer GloBrush
-save $0.75 off Arm & Hammer Toothpaste
-save $0.75 off Blistex Silk & Shine, Deep Renewal or Revive & Restore

This is what I look like each week setting up for my shopping trip. I lay out all the ads and have my coupon book handy. I get a list of what we need first looking for the best price and then seeing if I have a coupon for it. I write down which ad it’s in and the price and the savings. After I’ve gone through them all I figure out which store I have the most product selected at and we shop there, using the other store’s ads for a price-match if it’s cheaper then the store I’m shopping at. To find out store policies on coupons and price-match I visit SaveaLoonie.com.
This week I saved $100(mainly in coupons) shopping. It was a smaller list this week, which was nice because the store was crazy busy.
We also saved $40 on a gift for Chris and $30 on a gift for me at Futureshop. I found my info for these deals at Coupee.ca.

3 days of coupons
The last three days have been amazing for coupons and I’m expecting more before the end of this week. I have to say I haven’t been a full-time couponer until this past month and in 1 month alone I’ve saved over $600 by using coupons and price-matching and buying on sale. In Canada we don’t have the option to double coupons or stack them but if you play it right you can save a lot.

I use a lot of my savings to be able to buy more product so we can donate some to our local food bank. I feel if I’m saving a bit I can give a bit too. Helping us and someone else at the same time. I still have a small stick pile but only a small cold room, the rest go to others.
——————————————————–
I want to thank all these companies who generously give us coupons to their products. I also want to thanks SaveaLoonie for all their tips and info about how to save and get coupons.

10th Anniversary Edition Couponizer- review & giveaway

ABOUT-
“Just in time for the holidays, we are releasing on October 5, 2011 the newest version of our product The Couponizer. We started our business in 2002 and are celebrating 10 years since we sold our first product. Saving money continues to be a top priority for most consumers and by having a system to organize and shop with coupons, saving money is guaranteed…provided you don’t buy things you don’t need!”
My Thoughts-
I had the privilege of reviewing The Couponizer a few months ago and now I get to share with you the NEW 10th anniversary version.
As before I LOVE the Couponizer!!! So far I can say in the past 6 months I’ve saved hundreds of dollars, that’s good for me as I don’t go hard core couponing but want to save as much as I can. The Couponizer helps me stay organized and I bringing it everywhere with me. The size is perfect for my purse. I also love that it comes with a carrying pouch and scissors making it the easiest I’ve ever had it cutting, collecting and organizing my coupons.
The NEW 10th anniversary version has better graphics making it easier to find the coupon from the correct category faster. I loved it so much that I transferred my coupons from the old one to this new one. Even my 5 year old could understand what the photos were for, so when she is helping me with organizing my coupons.
Saving is important for all families and The Couponizer is perfect to help you along the way to save. I HIGHLY recommend them to everyone.
Below are some photos of the old & new Couponizer.

39DollarGlasses.com review (CLOSED)
ABOUT-
“39DollarGlasses.com was developed by eye doctors to create an inexpensive method for people to acquire high quality, finished prescription eyeglasses online. From their experience in both private offices and retail establishments, the founders decided they could provide this service for people inexpensively, bypassing expensive retail establishments.”
My Thoughts-
I am in love. Buying glasses for me usually costs me over $200. Between the frames, lenses that need to be Polycarbonate or else they’d be like pop bottles and the anti-glare, glasses were costing me a lot. I would have bought my glasses with all the above for under $80 from 39DollarGlasses.com. WOW!!! How will I ever be able to buy anywhere else from now on? So much savings.
I was given a code to buy my glasses for free but I did get to go through the checkout process. I first picked out my frames and they had so many to pick from it was hard to choose. Once i found the ones I loved it asked me for my prescription which I got from my eye doctor. From start to finish buying my glasses was very easy.
Once I got my glasses I was so impressed. They looked amazing and the prescription is exact. I was nervous about ordering online because I didn’t know if they’d do it correctly but they did. The only thing I had problems with was the fit but you can go to most glasses stores and they will adjust them for free for you, no problem. And the little extras they threw in was so nice too. My glasses came in a hard case, wrapped in a soft cloth bag, a cleaning cloth and a repair keychain kit.
I am totally recommending 39DollarGlasses.com to everyone. I’m hoping my brother will try them out too because I know he always has the cost problem too.



BUY it-
The people at 39DollarGlasses.com have given my readers a 10% discount code to use towards their first purchase of glasses. With their already low costs and now 10% off you really can’t go wrong.
