Double Savings - Use coupons on sale items

I rarely used coupons until late 2009. My mother who is 76 years old needed some protein supplements and her doctor suggested her to drink Ensure every day. I bought it couple of times from Shoppers Drug Mart at full price and then one week I noticed it went on sale for $8.99. I wanted to know how often it goes on sale and I googled it.  Aw… then I found there is a whole big coupon world. I learnt a lot and have saved a lot in the last one-year. Smartcanucks is a great site with lot of coupon information.

Price Matching

Do you know some stores will price match the prices of other stores if you take the current flyers with you as proof of sale at the other store.  This way you don’t have to run around different stores to get lowest prices. 

Here are some of the stores that I have done price matching:

• Zellers  
• No Frills
• Walmart
• Best Buy
• Future Shop
• Canadian Tire – Gave me 10% in Canadian Tire money as well
• Blacks

Unfortunately, Superstores in Ontario do not price match all the items (I heard superstores in western provinces price match). I usually go to Zellers to price match as I can also earn HBC points on the purchase.
