Have you ever liked & shared a post on facebook as a way to win a prize?  Apart from there being facebook issues with doing contests right on your wall, so many of these votes do not count because users (rightly) have all of their posts set to friends only which means the page can’t see your share.

When people share facebook posts from the SmartCanucks’ wall we can typically only see 10-20% of those shares (a reminder those who don’t set all posts to friends only, but some of them are shares to other pages) so the other 80-90% would not be counted.

For your share to be counted, you need to click the box shown, which will likely say Friends as default and choose public.  I usually go back and change them to friends after the contest is over so my page doesn’t show them publicly forever.

Have you ever won more than the food prizes on this Timmies promo?

Remember this promotion?

Turns out they did not have lots of prizes left at the end – I just received an email saying it was a glitch and to make up for it, I am getting a coupon booklet worth $7.50 in the mail in 3-6 weeks.  The promotion was run by Mars so there may be good chocolate coupons in our future.

So if you were told you won a pair of Team Canada Mitts check your email for more details

The Shopper’s Voice 2013 survey is now live.  Make sure you check yes on the first page to be eligible to receive their coupons and samples by mail or email.

If you are not familiar with the Shopper’s Voice survey, it is an unpaid slightly repetitive survey about the items you buy, coupon use etc  but you usually get a nice package of coupons and samples from them a few months after the survey.  You are also entered to win cash prizes or an iPad mini.  For those who prefer the paper copy, it will likely be arriving in your mailboxes soon.

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)

• 2″ coupon organizer $15.95
• 4″ mega large coupon organizer $19.95
• 6″ mega large deluxe coupon organizer $22.00
• 6″ double wide mega large deluxe plus coupon organizer $35.00
• with many affordable add-ons like a longer strap for carrying and more dividers/customized labels for them available when you order.  Glow Girl Fibers also offers some amazing environmentally friendly items like shopping tote bags, mesh produce bags, fabric & nylon reusable snack bags and a wallet organizer for your cheque book, receipts and cards.
