Thank you again to GlowGirl Fibers for providing two of her amazing coupon organizers for us to giveaway.
We had 706 entries into the contest and the winners chosen by a random number generator are: Holly Quaiscer & WendyJane who both chose the same fabric (and coincidentally, the same fabric I have for mine – the chocolate and turquoise damask proved to be quite the favourite).
Check your email ladies, you have 48 hours to respond or another winner will be chosen. You can still change your mind on which size/fabric you want.
If you did not win, you can still take advantage of the 10% discount by entering SMARTCANUCKS at checkout on either her website or Etsy store, Shop early, USPS are increasing the cost of shipping to Canada next week. Order by next Tuesday 22 and save on the extra shipping costs (it will be approx $3.50 extra on an order for shipping). Check out our review of them here.
Are you ordering one?
UPDATE Jan 23 – LAST DAY to order and pay the regular shipping costs, any orders placed tomorrow or later will pay almost double the shipping cost as a result of a USPS increase

Like many couponers, I have struggled with organization. I went from envelopes to a series of envelopes to plastic accordian files and photo albums from the dollar store to a large and bulky custom binder. Then fellow SmartCanucks blogger AnneDougherty ordered one of these amazing coupon organizers from Glow Girl Fibers and many of us followed. It has been a while since there were mentioned on SmartCanucks but I highly recommend getting one for your coupons.
Each one is double stitched, I have had mine for a few years and it has held up to many shopping trips, being stuffed with more coupons than it should, being stuffed in other bags, my cat dragging it around by the handle etc. I have both the regular 2” (holds 500 coupons) and mega large 4″ (holds 1000 coupons and has a carry strap) models. Right now I am using the regular sized organizer after downsizing after the December 31st purge but by mid year I usually upgrade to the bigger one and keep the smaller one with me at all times with my FPCs, HV and other coupons I want to use in case I find items on sale.
Double Wide Mega Large Deluxe Plus
As you can see, it clips onto the shopping cart using the button and heavy duty elastic which also closes it (no more binder dropping off the cart and coupons flying everywhere) and Glow Girl Fibers has so many fabrics to choose from. Each one comes with dividers (20 for the regular size and 30 for the mega large) and preprinted labels to help you sort your coupons. If you are a Canadian extreme couponer, you can upgrade to a 6″ Mega Large Deluxe organizer (holds 1500 coupons) or for those who have even more coupons, she offers a Double Wide 6″ Mega Deluxe Plus size (holds 3000 coupons).
Even better, they are very affordable (all prices in US$ with very affordable shipping)
You know that SmartCanucks members would never pay full price, so Deb is offering a 10% discount when you enter SMARTCANUCKS at checkout in either Glow Girl Fibers’ Etsy Store or directly from her website
Deb from Glow Girl Fibers has given us TWO coupon organizers to give away – your choice of fabric in either the 2″ or 4″ size. All you have to do is reply here letting us know what size you would need for all of your coupons and which fabric you love in her store (click here to visit her store and choose).
Glow Girl Fibers can be contacted through her website, or on facebook. Like her on facebook and thank her for the contest.

I have been recently doing a bit of research on the laws behind contests in Canada. After pages of “legalise”, I came across a question and answer section designed for Joe Public. In layman’s terms, it outlined the difference between an adequate and inadequate skill test. According to the Competition Bureau of Canada:
The following have been found to be adequate skill tests:
Okay, those seem reasonable. Now for the absolutely hilarious inadequate skill tests.
The following are examples of skill tests found (in other words, these may have been required by contestants at one point in time) to be inadequate:
I’m trying to think of the last time a retailer had a contest winner shoot a turkey at 50 yards to redeem their prize! Hmmm…perhaps this document needs to be updated.
