I finally got it today. I’ve been waiting and waiting and now it’s finally here! My $3 off coupon for ice cream!!! No strings attached, buy what you want get $3 off! Woo hoo! Mmmmm.... I love ice cream...
Before you get too excited this is a deal only available to beaver loving, hockey playing, Canucks. I know, I know, I’m cruel. But this was too good a deal not to write about!
I got this coupon last year too, and even though the items I bought were less than $3 the cashier gave me the whole amount off. Bonus! Maybe I can do the same this year too!
For those of you who are maple leaf loving Canadians the coupon is for Canada’s own Chapman’s ice cream. You can get this by emailing them at contactus@chapmans.ca . They send one coupon per household per year, and there is some guy in a little room who does this, so he will know if you ask for 2 in one year, so don’t get greedy! (You won’t get a reply; you will just get the coupon in 6 weeks or so).
Now I have to admit I didn’t just discover this by chance, it was posted on one of my favourite websites, redflagdeals.com.
Just don’t blame me if you get brain freeze...

Coupons!! And why I love them...
I love coupons, but what is even better than a coupon is a coupon AND a sale!! It’s all about the optimal savings! Yesterday I stopped at Shoppers Drug Mart and shaving cream was on sale for $1.99, and I just happened to have a coupon for $2.00 off. So I actually made a penny on the deal!!!
Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better I stopped at the grocery store on the way home from work and they had electric toothbrushes on sale for $18.99 (the regular price is $24.99), and I had a $5 off coupon so I actually saved $11!! (toothbrush was for my roommate, but since I found the sale and picked it up for her I’m claiming!!)

Ten!!! Count 'Em, TEN!!!
This may be my best freebie to date. The other day I received a pink envelop in the mail. Contents? TEN coupons for FREE Herbal Essences shampoo. They have a new shampoo coming out so I get to try it. I'll be giving some of the coupons away, I don't want to be greedy!
Bodywash move over and make room for some shampoo!!!

Free Yogurt! And a free yoga mat!
I eat yogurt pretty much everyday. So when I saw a posting for free yogurt, I couldn't resist. Granted I have tried this yogurt once before and I didn't care for it, but for 4 weeks of free yogurt, I'll give it another chance! Who knows maybe after the first two weeks I'll start to like it's chalky taste...
The only catch is that I had to fill out a rather personal survey on my pooping habits, but I have to admit I almost like talking about pooping as much as I like getting free stuff! (Hey don't judge me, everyone does it and how can you know if you're normal if you don't know what normal is?).
After filling out the first survey they will send me a coupon for 2 weeks free yogurt. After that two weeks is up I fill out another survey and they will send me 2 more weeks of yogurt. Some people may not think it's worth their time, but those people are crazy. Crazy!
Oh and on a sidenote but still related to yogurt I'm one Astro yogurt away from a free yoga mat! At first I wasn't going to bother because I assumed you had to pay the shipping and handling but it didn't say that anywhere, so here I go! I, um, don't do yoga...but hey it's free! I'll find a use for it. I'm MacGyver in my spare time.

Free Stuff, almost free stuff and things that are cheap!
There is nothing that I like more than free things, cheap stuff is a close second. So this past weekend I nearly peed my pants with all the savings I got. It all started on Friday around lunch time. I just happened to be glancing through some flyers online, (because who doesn’t love sifting through flyers on their lunch looking for a good deal? ), when something in the Zellers flyer caught my eye. Satin Care shave cream was on sale for $1.97. Now I know what you’re thinking, that’s a good price, but enough to warrant comment in a blog? It gets better...I just so happened to have in my possession four coupons to save $2 on Satin Care shave cream!!! Side note: I only just realized that when it says in the fine print, “only one per purchase” it doesn’t mean, as I thought, only one coupon per customer’s entire purchase, but instead one coupon per item purchased. When I think about all of the times I have thrown away my chance at optimal savings I tear up a little.
Sorry, where was I...oh yeah $2 off on shave cream that was on sale for $1.97...awesome, yes?! And the best part is the cashier actually gave me the full $2.00 off so I made 8 cents!! I know that doesn’t sound like much, but can you save you’ve gotten paid to use shave cream before? Hmmm? Can you? I didn’t think so.
On top of the whole shave cream operation I also have a stock pile of coupons to save $10 when you buy any three Olay products. If you’re thinking, hey isn’t Olay stuff really expensive, your right it is...except when the body wash is on sale, and you have a buy 3 and save $10 coupon! Only a few times have I been fortunate enough to find it on sale for $2.99...yes that does add up to only $9, giving me a $1 profit. Are you getting excited yet? Usually I pay $3.99 for them so my coupons don’t expire, I know it sounds pricy for body wash, but with the coupon it’s only $2 (teehee). I would never and have never paid regular price for body wash. I came close one time when I got a big bottle of dial and it came with a stick of deodorant, so it doesn’t count as full price in my book.
Can’t get any better can it? Oh it did. On the same trip I also had a buy two herbal essence products get one free, not the best but I buy that shampoo anyway so why not get one for free. Oh and let’s not forget the save $5 on a strength and repair kit (in laymen’s terms...a shampoo, conditioner plus one other thing that frankly I’m not quite sure what to do with, and save $5) they were all on sale so I pretty much just paid for one of them.
On last count I have 14 bottles of body wash, 6 shaving creams, 5 shampoos and 5 conditioners, (and 5 tubes of toothpaste, every time I see it on sale for less than a dollar, I stock up...it rarely goes on sale). I saved about $26, and I haven’t even gotten to the food stuffs I’ve gotten for free. But I’ll save that for another night...
