love a good sale

And like it even better when I can combine sales with coupons. When an item is already $2 or $3 lower when on sale AND I have a $1 or $2 coupon, then that makes me a happy camper indeed. One week in particular I was on a roll as it seemed that every item I wanted and had a coupon for, was also on sale. I think I saved about $30 in total that week!

Now I know that some people don't use or like coupons, but to me they're as good (and almost as fun) as finding a loonie (Canadian dollar coin) or toonie (Canadian two dollar coin) on the street. Of course you have to be sensible and not drive all over town spending more money on gas then you would actually save with the coupon, but in general they can be worth using. Especially if you're going to buy the item anyway.

Thank you for pointing that out about not driving all over wasting gas money and thus negating the savings of your coupon and/or sale. I told my mom that all the time when we lived in the same town. Didn't quite get through, though. ;)

Here's a link for online shopping with coupons. Maybe you can figure out how to use these :)

Yeah, you have to use your head. In my case I don't have to worry about gas since I don't drive, and walk to most places anyway.

Mama Cris, good to see you here! Thanks for the link. I was aware of finding coupons online, but not the promotional codes. Will definitely investigate further and report back. :)
