Its that time again!

I wanted to get on the computer to blog about all the GREAT finds I have located, but I have had precious little time what with Easter holidays being upon us.  Now that the bunny has come and gone again, its time to sit down and relay some of the great deals that I noticed!

Flyer day is a big day around here.  I wait with great anticipation to hear the thud of the flyers landing on my front porch...since my complaint to Flyer Force seems to have really upped the regular occurance of flyers!  They even came on Thursday this time like they should!  My husband located the flyer bag and was excitedly shaking them around waiting to see what goodies he could unveil.  Of course, he only looks through the flyers with dude stuff, like Best Buy and Future Shop....but having said that he uncovered loads of deals for things like BBQ's and other great things to get your pad ready for the summer. 

We also came upon a flyer that I had never seen before.....or even knew existed.  It was the Zellers Midnight sale.  It was the day the flyers came and let me tell you, there was unreal deals in there!  I'm not sure how long Zellers will remain open in wake of Target buying them, but the lesson here is a good one.  Check your flyers the day they come.  They could yield lots of good sales that are on time limits but you could stand to save 60% or more on some items if you really pay attention!

Something I find amusing to do is to make yourself the brunt of the jokes about couponing.....people who don't coupon find it really funny!  The other day, I visited a friend of mine who does not coupon and does not review flyers.  Since I was there, she decided she would look at them for the first time in years and she was shocked at what she saw!  Encourage your friends (even if they dont want to coupon) to look at the flyers...share the wealth of deals!  People DO appreciate it...then you can make fun of yourself for all the additional coupons you have in your special fancy coupon holder!

One more thing before I go down the list of stores.....if you havent done so already, go to Sobeys.  Its buy one get one free on many items.  I contacted a bunch of friends when I left there giddy with excitement at the amount of things I was leaving with for free.  That same friend I mentioned above who doesn't coupon or read flyers went to Sobey's at my insistance and once she returned home she counted the amount of free items she had...$110 dollars worth of items free!!!

Lets start with Sobey's.....my pick of the week for the best place to shop!
