- Order coupons each week. Every Monday, visit Flyerland.ca to request grocery coupons online. Through our partnership with Save.ca, your coupons will be mailed to you for delivery by Friday, just in time for your weekend shopping trip.
- Use coupon booklets. Many retailers create coupon booklets that are packed with savings. For example, Blockbuster has offered a coupon book with $20 in savings and the Bay has a beauty passport with deals on selected items. Ask about coupon booklets at your regular stores.
- Join loyalty programs. Register at Flyerland.ca to receive members-only coupon offers. If you belong to a loyalty program be sure to sign-up for e-newsletters and other online alerts to receive exclusive offers and special savings.
- Only use coupons for items you need. A great coupon deal on an item you don’t need and will never use is not a deal at all. Only clip coupons for your regular products and toss the rest.
- Keep a coupon organizer. File your coupons together in one place such as an envelope or small folder, and keep them in your purse or the glove box of your car so you’ll have them when you need them. Every few weeks, be sure to clean out the organizer and discard any coupons that have expired.
- Redeeming made easy. When paying for your purchases, be sure to let the cashier know you have coupons to redeem. Make it easier for him or her by placing your coupons with the appropriate items

I love to save money with coupons.
There’s absolutely no reason not to use coupons. I’ve become very fond of them, especially lately with prices in the grocery skyrocketing. Why wouldn’t you use coupons, its like free money!
Thanks for the information.

If I don't use a coupon I will put it on the product so someone else can save a bit

My local grocery store refuses to accept coupons printed from the internet. My friend and I were both embarassed by this policy yesterday while buying groceries far in excess of the amount of the coupons. Not a nice feeling.

This is one of the lamest supposedly "informative" stories ever. No info given other than what a newborn might not know. I have only couponed for about a year and feel that I am a newbie yet this stuff is irrelevant. Give us all a break.

You mention.. Only use coupons for items you need. But if you get something for free or near free... why not donate it?

I am crazy about getting a great deal and saving some cash. We live in a time that we must become very creative in our spending ventures.

My mother is 82 and she has been using coupons all her life. Great tip to pass on to her 8 children. You are going to spend money anyways, you save one way but have to spend another way in other areas, bills, etc.

I went shopping on the weekend and using a combination of bonus points and coupons, I ended up paying 13.00 for 140.00 worth of products.
Try to shop only for the sale itesm and if you have a coupon, even better. I also wait for things to have bonus points before I buy so even better.

Make sure to check out websites of products you use. Purinia.ca Has a buy one get one free on Beneful. Also 3.oo coupon of BusyBone. (3.50 at walmart) so you get two ones for 50 cents. And a 3.00 coupon of dry dog food, little bags are only 4.00. Also when the coupon survey's come in the mail take the time to fill them out. You get a lot of free product coupons and big saving coupons.

I know that Wal-mart does not accept most online coupons. I haven't had a problem with Zellers though. Its always best to check with customer service before you buy the item. I do write a blog where I post deals and online coupons. I try to ensure that they are all valid and Canadian.

I am a very busy mom and would like to thank the person who leaves their unwanted coupons on the product...I've used them!

@ Carol and Leanne Putting coupons you can't use on the product is a great idea Carol. I agree with Leanne that others appreciate that very much. Thank you.

I always use coupons EXCEPT for the ones that you can only print from your computer as NO stores will take them, so I wonder why companies like SC Johnson, Ziploc etc., who sends out e-mail newsletters and who I've e-mailed several times to tell them that stores DO NOT ACCEPT their coupons haven't changed their rules and mail them out?
