    Don’t mind me ask­ing. Where did you get the cot­tonelle, Ritz Chips and Tet­ley Tea coupons from? I could use some of those. Thanks

  2. mrsjanuary

    No prob­lem!
    I got the cot­tonelle coupons from Shop­pers. They were on the shelf near the cot­tonelle stuff.
    I don’t remem­ber where I got the Ritz ones, as I’ve had them for awhile, but I believe I also found them on a shelf at a store.
    For the Tet­ley Tea, they mailed me coupons (not sure why, I think I may have emailed ask­ing for coupons) for a free prod­uct and also some sam­ples of Blue­berry Green Tea.

    I hope this helps!

  3. Fpolacco

    Thanks a bunch. I had a feel­ing that this is what you did as, I do the same thing. I wrote to Sponge Paper Towel and let them know how much I love their prod­uct and they sent me a $3/- coupon as a thank you.

  4. Nosepuppy

    Where sell Toblerone Choco­late Bar @ .97 ? Thanks

  5. ceejay

    May I ask where you got the Busy Bone coupons? My pups would be quite happy with some of those!

  6. seajay

    Could you tell me if the cot­tonelle wipes coupons are still avail­able at Shop­pers and where did you redeem them, also where did you get the Toblerone and the Mr. Clean erasers?

  7. mrsjanuary

    Fpo­lacco — oh yes, they love com­pli­ments! ;)

    Nosepuppy — walmart

    cee­jay — i got them here: http://www.save.ca/fancyfeast_en/prod_page.php

    sea­jay — they should still be avail­able, i just got them the other day. i redeemed them at wal­mart. i got the toblerone from wal­mart as well. the mr. clean erasers i got from real cana­dian super­store (they have them at loblaws as well for the same price).

  8. Tom

    Con­grats!

    It looks like you were very dili­gent in get­ting your deals.

  9. Lee

    very nice score! its true about call­ing with­out com­plaints on the agenda — we called with a ques­tion about baby wipes, and the woman offered us coupons. when they arrived, they included free prod­uct items. just goes to show you never know…

  10. Neel

    Good job!
    Would you mind telling us where you bought Cavendish French Fries and Chap­mans Ice Cream?
    Thanks!

  12. Joel

    You took 27 cotonelle coupons from Shop­pers? lol =) tsk tsk

  13. mrsjanuary

    Tom — thanks! i try to be :)

    Lee — oh yes, if you ever have a com­plaint you should always call and they will almost always send you coupons for free products.

    Neel — thank you! i got the cavendish ones from the com­pany directly, because i called and com­plained about one of their prod­ucts (i pur­chased some fries and the box had like 10 fries in it). i got the chap­mans coupon just by email­ing them and ask­ing them for some!

    The Lazy Cana­dian — i’m not that crazy, i swear! only on gro­cery day :D

    Joel — I sure did. We use them, so why not? I always make sure to leave some though, I never take all of the coupons available.

    impres­sive! Where did you find Chapman’s ice cream for $1.97? I just used my $3 coupon at the Super­store and paid $3.48 (.48 with the coupon) for the same ice cream. darn!

  15. mrsjanuary

    con­suma­trix — i found the ice cream at sobeys for 4/$5 or $1.49 each. so i grabbed 2 = $3.00 and used the 1 $3.00 coupon for that. this is the smaller ice cream though (1L)!

  17. silsan

    Hello, thanks for the tips, but I have a ques­tion, how did you get 12 Busy Bones coupons, I went to save.ca and they sd ” there is a limit of one coupon per prod­uct accord­ing to the manufacturer’s restric­tion, which could be, for exam­ple, once per week, once every 30, 45, 60 days etc. or “once per house­hold”. I woiuld like to get more than 1 coupon for this prod­uct :)

  18. mrsjanuary

    fred — they were on sale for .99 each at food basics

    sil­san — i go to save.ca every few days and order more. i just mis­pell my address and change my name and they will usu­ally send more.

  21. humaira

    I THINK ALWAYS BOUGHT THOSE THING IF YOU NEED,IF YOU NOT NEED SOO MUCH STUFF ‚YOU WILL NOT BOUGHT,

  22. Glen

    So how many dif­fer­ent stores did you have to go to get all these items?

  23. mrsjanuary

    I went to 4 stores.

    Wal­Mart — wipes, kashi, toblerone
    Food Basics — fries, tea, busy bones, ritz
    Sobeys — ice cream, keno
    Super­store — erasers

  24. willowsprite

    I would feel bad cheat­ing the sys­tem at save.ca. But if you can do it and feel fine, go for it. :P

  26. ilmk

    This must be why coupons are up for short times.
    Peo­ple steal­ing 25 from the store racks and leav­ing one or two for the next per­son that comes along?

    I never knew that was so pop­u­lar! I’d never dream of tak­ing more then I need.

  27. Sally

    What­ever will you do with the many cot­tonelle fem­i­nine wipes lol!

  28. mrsjanuary

    I use them alot, I like them! :) I also gave a bunch to my friend and some to my sis­ter who had never tried them. I will use alot of them in my Christ­mas gift bas­kets this year as well.

  30. amycanada77

    HEY I would just like to thank Mrs­jan­u­ary for the link to the nutro free dog food in the other blog (that has had its com­ments turned off with darn good rea­son — thank good­ness for Boo)!!

  31. mrsjanuary

    amycanada77 — you’re wel­come. glad i could help :)

  33. crissynfld

    holy cow! lots of con­tro­versy lol, every­one has there own val­ues if you dont feel guilt doing then its fine… per­son­ally I dont feel any guilt, this site is about being a smart fru­gal shop­per and thats just what your doing.

  34. carmaben

    Wow, I’m so supremely jeal­ous of you. What do the cashiers say when you show up with 27 coupons for the same item? I want to do the same but I’m too embar­rassed to show up at my gro­cery store and be like “Yeah, I’ll be tak­ing all this for free. Have a nice day.”
