Where to Find Coupons



People are always asking me where I find this coupon or that coupon, I will give you all the information as to where I get all my coupons.

To start my main coupons that I use are the Brandsaver coupons. These come in 2 forms, the first is an insert that is sent out in your local newspaper usually every 3-4 months. The second is online at Brandsaver.ca, where you fill out your personal information, select the coupons you wish to be sent out and they are mailed out to you, at no cost. The great thing about these coupons is that the insert and the internet version contain many of the same coupons but from different media sources which means they can be 'stacked' (combined) together at London Drugs to increase your overall savings! These coupons can only be ordered every 60 days. They also take about a couple weeks to arrive in the mail so be patient.

My next favorite place to access coupons is a site called Save.ca, this is similar to brandsaver in that you order your coupons and they are mailed to your home. The coupons change frequently and there are also several 'hidden' links that will allow you to order other items not listed without the link, which can usually be found through sources such as facebook or links from their product sites. Check often as there are often new coupons to be found.

Another great site to check out is GoCoupons, this site lists only a small number of regular coupons (usually royale products and a couple others), however the great thing is they can be ordered once a week!

Websaver is the last website I use for ordering coupons, and they offer a great variety of coupons as well. The concept is very similar to save.ca as they coupons rotate quite often and there are also several hidden links to be found.

Redplum and Smartsource are coupon inserts that can be found in local newspapers, they are on a schedule which if you do a quick search in your area usually can be found pretty easily. They come out at least once a month and can be a hit or miss for coupons, depending on what you are in need of. Sometimes they have some great coupons and other times there are some pretty crummy ones.

Printable coupons come in handy when you want to stack them or there is a good sale as they often are available for a longer period of time then others and conveniently you can print more than one. I don't print too many coupons myself as I dislike arguing with cashiers about its validity and all the other rules many stores have about 'printable' coupons. For many other people though they rely heavily on them and manage to work out very well. Everyone has their own method when it comes to what they prefer to use. A lot of it depends solely on the stores you go to and the cashiers. Its definitely worth giving a shot though!

Lastly, the last place I get coupons is from walking up and down isles at the grocery store and drug stores, hehe. The coupons are rotated on a monthly basis and can be combined at London Drugs with other coupons if you have some from other sources. These coupons can provide great stacking opportunities, as the coupons usually come directly from SmartSource so they often have coupons for some of the same items on their website.
