One of the things you will very rarely have to pay for as a couponer is toothpaste, and here is your chance to stock up for free. Some of you may already have enough to last a couple of years, but some of you may still be waiting for this deal. For those who fall into the latter category, beginning this Friday, September the 19th, Real Canadian Superstore Ontario will have the regular Crest toothpaste in the 100ml format only sale for only $1.
In the latest batch of SmartSource tear pad coupons that recently hit stores, there is a coupon for $1 off the purchase of any Crest toothpaste. If you were able to grab a couple of these coupons, use them to get the 100ml Crest for free. Keep in mind that if you are price matching the toothpaste, not every store actually carries the 100ml size. While you may have luck finding it at Walmart, Target definitely does not carry this size.
I am new at this. by the “tearpad” do you mean the wall of coupons at the front of RCSS? Also, if they are offering the toothpaste at 1$ now does that mean they don’t have the coupons there anymore?
Sorry for the newbie Q
Another Question — the cashiers really let you use many of these? or is there a max? thank you!
The RCSS near me doesn’t stock the 100 ml Crest anymore 🙁
@ raquel – yes, “tear pad” means the bundles of coupons that are posted on the wall at the front of RCSS. They can also be found on the shelving in front of some products. {and no apologies necessary for the newbie Q – we’ve all been a newbie!}
RCSS should still have the tear pad coupons available, even with the $1 sale.
As for how many coupons you are allowed to use… I myself have not (in recent memory) had a cashier say I can’t buy “that many”, but I try to keep it somewhat reasonable. Five to ten, depending on the product, and I don’t shelf-clear. We are a small family, so if I am able to get several of a good deal then I drop it in the collection bin for the food bank.
However, as @ Miranda pointed out – I have noticed repeated RCSS flyers advertising the $1 Crest, but the stores never ever have it in stock. For the three RCSS stores near me, I have called ahead on the first day of the flyer and the responses range from “we are out of stock” to “we never received the stock” to “try again on Tuesday when we get deliveries” to “it’s a special order item & we won’t be getting any” to “our flyer specifically states limited quantity available and we do not give rain cheques”. I have repeatedly e-mailed RCSS to ask why they continue to advertise this product when the stores don’t even stock it – I get a similar range of responses. I am about 5% hopeful that I may find some, but I’m really not counting on it.
If anyone knows if Walmart / No Frills / etc have it in stock next week, let us know!
Thanks! 🙂
You can also use the coupons that was in one of the insert for $3.50 off when you buy any 3 crest products if you price match at Walmart you would make money on it. I’m going to try and get some of the toothpaste since my son and his wife are moving out soon so I can help them stock up.
