Comment on Free Physicians Formula Products with Mail in Rebate by Simply Frugal

Hi Erum, I would take that as meaning you can submit one rebate for each product with a different UPC (barcode). Hope that helps!

Hi,

Thanks for posting the link The form states “Limit one rebate per household per qualifying UPC (barcode)”. Does that mean I can submit one rebate for each product or that I can only get rebate for one product alone?

Thanks,

I’ve looked at all the rebate forms and I’m seeing that each form must be postmarked by December 15, 2012?

Comment on Why I’m Not an Extreme Couponer by Jessica

I used to do couponing for bragging rights. I felt like I had ‘one-up’ on everyone else. However, I ended up buying stuff that I didn’t need or was overstocked. It also became a mental burden. If I let a high value coupon expire, I’d be unhappy about it. Or if I bought something and forgot to use a coupon I had, I’d also be upset with myself for forgetting. My purse also get really heavy too.

I realized it’s such a waste of my time and taxing on the mind that I make sure now to be more selective and precise. If I remember I got a coupon, great. However, if I forget, I don’t beat myself up anymore.

How exciting that you only have a few more weeks till you meet your baby! I attempted a day of freezer cooking when I was very pregnant with my second baby. It was a total fail. Exhausting standing around chopping and cooking all day. I only ended up with a few meals, and needed a nap! I ended up just making larger portions of meals we were eating for dinner and freezing the leftovers, just like you said you were going to do. Much more manageable, since you are cooking the food anyways.

Comment on New York Fries – Free Regular Poutine with Purchase of Regular Poutine and a Beverage by Kris

The South Street Burger Company will also accept this coupon because they serve New York Fries (one day left before expiry).

They offered me the option of two large poutines with this coupon, but I don’t know if that is normal because the offer is for two regular.

Hi Irene, all the coupons on the Healthy Shopper are Canadian coupons. Once you log into the healthy shopper website, click on e-coupons and you’ll see a list of all the coupons available. The blue diamond one will be in that list. Click on “view” to have the printable coupon pop up. Hope that helps!

Comment on Reader Poll – How Much do you Spend on Groceries a Month? by Chris

Chris — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 18:09:13 +0000

This is a total bummer for me. We are a family of 4 (2 adults + 2 & 4 yr old girls). We spend over $1000 mth in the Burlington, Ontario region (everything included). We have flash frozen meat delivered to us once a year (AAA grade, grain fed) and that costs us $260 mth alone which is typically a good savings in terms of meat pricing. I’m trying to find ways to get my wife to cut down on the spending. Maybe we are doing it all wrong and need to explore other ways to save such as buying in bulk. Perhaps a Costco membership is the answer? Coupons? Walmart is much like Costco now. Some of the prices are good and others are terrible.

We should all be involved in forums to bang heads on “how to save” as opposed to polls that just show how much people are spending… As you can see, no one has addressed any of the comments relating to helping them save.

Love it! I also live in a very small place, very little unused storage. I buy what I need, extras of the serious deals but don’t go out of my way to buy what won’t be used or what goes on sale so frequently that I can ‘coupon’ it next time. I do have a coupon binder that I take with me and always check the flyers but if it isn’t something I like to use or that I am loyal to the brand, I will always pick the deal over the coupon every time.
