So it was Thursday yesterday and do you think the flyers came??? Nope. So, last night I surfed on the web and found some good deals on groceries which led me to go to 2 separate grocery stores. Was it annoying....ABSOLUTELY but I live sandwiched between 3 major grocery stores (Walmart Supercenter, Sobey's and Save-On Foods) so I figured this was definitely dooable and worth it since I knew Save-On has great warehouse packs of meat for $10 each.
In an attempt to get all the deals (since I am generally the person that shows up at the END of the sale when everything is gone) I decided to get prepared to shop early. First up, Sobey's. I figured this was the best place to start because they have those kids carts that they can push around and it keeps the little man entertained for hours.
Now, wouldnt you know that because I actually did my research ahead of time and showed up to the stores around noon, just my luck they hadn't stocked the ham yet - a key ingredient for a delicious easter dinner - (which was on sale for $9.99) because their shipment hadn't come in. Gee. What a surprise. However, the turkey was on sale for $0.99 per pound! I picked up a good sized turkey for cheap!
After locating a few good deals within the store, we paid and set off for Save-On Foods where I was handed a giant slap in the couponers face. They had their boxes of Fibre One bars on for $1.29. F$#%! Stupid greedy me just HAD to use the coupon to double coupon at London Drugs when I could have had TWO boxes for $0.29 each had I just waited. Lesson learned. Don't double coupon just because you can. Be patient. Wait for the best deal possible. It WILL happen. Crap. Wish I knew that before hand!
Nevertheless, once I returned home there were the flyers, staring me in the face saying READ ME! You will find better deals!!! Which brings me to lesson #2. Wait for the flyers to come.
I needed paper towel in the worst way, so I found a good deal on paper towel - $5.99 for 6 rolls. Pretty decent and I was pretty desperate. Sure enough, when I opened the flyers there was TONS of deals for paper towel for WAY cheaper. Of course. Lesson #3 - Always review the flyers prior to shopping for things like paper towel and toilet paper.
So I have discovered that in order to be a good shopper, you must be a smart shopper and that means reviewing all of the flyers to check for all the good deals and then maybe going to a few different places. How ignorant was I in my former ways. Too cool to use coupons. Always going to the same store because it was "my store".....never again!
Here is the run down of the deals of the week I have located:

Ziploc Containers are $3.00 each, but I have a coupon from one of the Smart Source flyers for buy 2 get 2 free....which means you can get 4 packs of Ziploc containers for $3.00 or $0.75 per box. Yaaaay savings!
