Couponing 101

I used coupons before. I call this time, my TBSC (time before smartcanucks!). Someone suggested I have a look at smartcanucks.ca in order to maximize my coupon abilities. Smarcanucks is where I've learned how to trade coupons, participated in coupon trains and all kinds of other coupon craziness. Smartcanucks is a fantastic website but....a lot of it doesn't apply to us way up here. In Yellowknife, you just don't have access to the same coupons and same sales as "down south". So, you are asking yourself, how the heck do I coupon up here? Well, my northern friend, but getting the most out of internet coupons.

Coupons can be divided into several categories...
Print at home coupons: These are coupons from websites that you print right off on your computer. A lot of retailers don't accept them because they are so easy to alter. You know the saying...one bad apple spoils the bunch. Some retailers in Yk still accept them. I'd love to know your hits and misses around town.

Coupons sent to you: These are coupons that you select and the company prints them off and sends them to you. Save.ca and brandsaver.ca are just a few

Manufacture coupons: These are coupons that you get in store or directly from the manufacture.

So a few websites for my coupon savy northerners...

http://smartcanucks.ca/
http://www.save.ca/
http://www.brandsaver.ca/en_ca/
and my new favorite..... http://thinkcoupons.ca/

Thinkcoupons.ca is like a giant database of internet based coupons.

Let the couponing begin...
