   I can’t wait to see the abuse on this one.. I can already picture the brags with 50 loafs of bread… remember people, it says “*A* free loaf of bread”

   Ron, I wonder if they can track back the number to the person who did the survey if that happens?

     Looks like they all have the same number, if they do the full page, they may be able to track it by the timestamp
     That being said, many stores wont accept a printable for a freebie anyway

   What I find odd about this offer is that you can only take the survey if you have already tried their bread – so yes they are rewarding their customers – but what about people who want to try their bread? I personally did not go back and fill out the survey, but for sure there are people that are going to fill out the survey who have never bought the product 🙁

   Well, I only printed one, so wouldn’t know if more than that has the same number – mine has *141-150* under the barcode.
   I’ve never had a printable FPC refused – hopefully everyone can get theirs somewhere!
   Here, it’s our Co-op who has the best stock of these.

     Natalka, you can usually tell by highlighting it – if the whole image highlights as one, the number is part of the image so won’t change with prints, if it shows the numbers highlighted separately, they are typed and usually unique
     Most of the major stores exclude FPCs that are printed – SDM, Walmart etc, Loblaws stores take them here but you still get trouble with cashiers

   Just tried to use this at a local big box grocer across the street from my home. No luck. Store manager said this was a copy and would not allow it. Ron is correct and anyone could use use this multiple times in different aisles or even different stores and wind up with a whole trunk full of free specialty bread. I guess this was essentially an information gathering exercise executed to perfection by Silver Hills. How many of you gave up your name, email and tel # to enter the Visa gift card contest?

     Silver Hills already have my info from well before now, but most SCers use an email account for freebies other than their personal one

   I just tried this and the coupon is now closed to Canadians due to an overwhelming response.

   Thank you Silver Hills for the free loaf — not loaves — of bread! I hope everyone sticks to one loaf as any more is just greedy and will ruin any future free product sample coupons.

    @ Alicia

    I’m sure some moderately clever folks just saved the coupon as a PDF and will post it online at some point. The coupon is good until the end of August so those that feel inclined to hoard all the bread they want can do so for weeks on end without having to be blatantly obvious about it (ie. doing it all in one visit)

      Cath, according to their store locator
      RACHELLE-BERY stocks them, Costco (but they don’t take coupons) and some IGAs
