This week was a good week for food deals. I obviously went out on June 21st to claim my free box of cereal, but I also found a great deal on Kraft Dinner (I should be stocked up for around 8 months now), and had a coupon for M&M Meat Shops that I had to use before it expired this week. Overall, here is a breakdown of my scores.
June 21st 2011 - Sobeys
Fiber 1 Brown Sugar Cereal: $3.99 - free product coupon (from Websaver) = FREE (saved $3.99)
2x Eggo Blueberry Waffles: $4.00 - 2 free product coupons (from Mini Wheats cereal) = FREE (saved $5.98)
8x Kraft Dinner: 11.12 - in-store BOGO offer = $5.56 (saved $5.56)
Campbells Cream of Mushroom soup: $0.99
Tax: $0.00
Total paid: $6.55
Total saved: $15.53
June 23rd 2011 - M&M Meat Shops
Garlic Butterflied Shrimp: $9.99 - $5.00 coupon (from Canadian Tire promotion last month) = $4.99 (saved $8.00)
Tax: $0.00
Total paid: $4.99
Total saved: $8.00
I set out with my list this morning, hoping to price match a few different things at Zellers in order to benefit from the SPC Discount. Unfortunately, all they had from my list was the chicken broth (they were out of infant Tylenol, and did not have the Lean Cuisine and the Kraft Dressing that I had coupons for). I did spot Motrin Liquid Gels on clearance though, and went back to get them after printing the coupon at home. I really need to learn to have my printed coupons with me at all times!

I had an interesting trip at Walmart. First off, I was disappointed to see that they did not have the Kraft Dressing or the Lean Cuisine that I wanted. I really don't know where I will be able to use those. I did pick up the infant Tylenol that was on sale this week, as well as the Listerine for 2 for $8.00. I knew that the coupons I had for the mouthwash specified only 1 per person, but I had my partner with me and thought I would argue it (prompted by a forum discussion on MrsJanuary.com). First off, the Listerine scanned at the regular price of $5.79 a piece. I informed the cashier, who argued that they would end up coming up as $4.00 each in the end after she totaled the transaction (even though by the time I pointed it out, she had already totaled it). She was also a coupon scrutinizer and called over the manager to check out my Listerine coupons. By then, the line behind me was starting to fill up. The manager turned down the coupon, and I decided not to argue it (besides, I'm not sure how much luck I would have had with a manager, given that they do have the right to refuse coupons and I was pushing my luck already). She accepted one coupon, and my coupon for the Tylenol, but my total was still high. I decided to pay it, and see what would happen. Of course, she checks the receipt and realizes that the price charged was still $5.79 a piece. At this point though, I was happy to leave the line and go to customer service to get it rectified. Once there, I asked for the SCOP to be implemented, and was refunded for the first bottle and charged $4.00 for the second. Thus, in the end, I was charged $1.00 for two bottles. The customer service clerk looked annoyed, but hey, I have rights. And I sure as hell was going to ask for it after my coupon was denied :P. What a pain though.

Couponing Newbie
So... approximately a month ago, after discovering TLC's show "Extreme Couponing", I started researching how one would accomplish anywhere close to the savings shown on the show in Canada. I had always been passively collecting coupons, but was the type of person to simply use a coupon when it was time to purchase a certain item I was out of, without using any strategy. I've since started following a few blogs and coupon websites in Canada, actively hunting down coupons, making the best out of store rewards programs, price matching, using mail-in-rebates and most importantly, matching coupons to in-store or advertised specials to get the best bang for my buck. Since starting, I've likely saved a pile of money already. Below are the deals I've gotten since starting. I will, from this point forward, post all of the deals I score, in part as a way for me to keep track of them, but also in case others want to track down the same deals.
