So, here I am on an evening Darryl was on night shift, sorting coupons. So for all of you who haven't heard, London drugs lets you stack coupons. Meaning, if you have more than 1 coupon for an item, they will let you use them all. I had heard about women using coupons to get free diapers, then got some 'training' on how its done from my friend, Marnie. So I have only done this once before and gotten a couple things, but I was planning on doing a major trip last week as London Drugs was also having a sale. I had 24 dollars worth of coupons in pampers, however they had no ore boxes of pampers left so I could only use 19 dollars worth and get the bagged ones. Oh well, after I was finished I was pretty stoked. the bill came to 97 dollars and some cents and after coupons, I paid 19 something and 10 of it was to tax. I even forgot 2 coupons, and forgot to get the dishwasher detergent I had coupons for, so it would have spent a bit less and got a bit more. Rookie mistakes...but not bad for a couple hour of work.(cutting, sorting and shopping). Most of the coupons you can get from the brandsaver or save.ca websites and they will send them to your house. When I was in line, there were 2 woman in front of me couponing as well all kinds of stuff, so obviously more people out there are catching on...and if your a household on a budget, why not? It felt like I was doing something wrong but it's legal...and all you have to pay is the tax. Some of the stuff I got, I wouldn't normally buy, like expensive razors, shaving cream and fabric softener...but why not if you only have to pay tax right? Here is what I got for $19.43...
