I hadnt done a late night coupon run in awhile, so I figured with the Brandsaver Inserts set to expire at the end of the month, I should check to see what I could get.
Here is my haul:
6 Satin Care Shave Gel full size - $1.50 sale (price was not listed, I scanned on a whim and it was on sale) less $1.00 off coupon from Brandsaver, they were $0.50 per can. They are regularly $3.16 each. I got all six for $3. HUGE SAVINGS!
6 Crest toothpastes - $0.88 (price not listed, but will be tomorrow) less $0.75 coupon from Brandsaver = $0.17 per tube. Not free...but still good.
6 Old Spice Body Wash 250 ml bottle on sale $2 each. Buy 2 save $3 coupon from Brandsaver also makes them $0.50 each.
My flyers AND my examiner did not come today....not happy! Will report more extreme deals as soon as I can. If you have Brandsaver inserts, use them up!!! They will expire at the end of July! Happy Couponing!

The Job...Red Plum...and Other Assorted Events
Today began as always. With something eventful. Having said that, I realize that I forgot to go into detail on what happened on day 2 of my job. Day 2 was the first day I received a parking ticket. Day 2 was not pretty. Day 2 was not a good day.
Day 2 began with me getting to the train station somewhat early. I knew from previous experience going to this train station (I was blessed on day 1 by receiving what appeared to be the very last dirt lot parking spot the City of Edmonton transit system had to offer me), that there was a short cut to the back of the parking lot. I took that way. I discovered no spots. Many people's cars were crammed up together like sardines in over packed cans. I pitied the poor people who looked like they may have to crawl into their cars through the trunk. I searched row on row. No spots. One person parked their car in a lane. I hope they got towed. Alright...that's the bitter part of me talking. Nevertheless, 15 minutes of driving up and down the lanes aimlessly set me far behind in my schedule. If I didnt leave, I would for sure be late. I needed to park immediately. Then...there was the pay lot. Paved. Lines painted. Its for fancy Edmontonians. Regular Edmontonians park in the dirt apparently. I decided to be fancy, but for a day.
All this driving made me have to really move it to catch the train. Once I got off the train downtown I had to walk as fast as possible to get to the office. As luck would have it, I was completely ill-prepared for this power walk as I was only wearing a pair of ballerina flats that kept slipping off my feet. I was walking along, minding by business then, bam....I'm tripping....I'm tripping....whoa...whoa...finally after stumbling for what felt like a million yards, I decided to succumb to gravity and allow myself to hit the pavement. Great....did anyone see that???. I got up and a lady goes "Are you okay?!?!?!" I just laughed and said the only thing injured was my pride.
The day just spiralled from there. Being in technology training with just the teacher and yourself in a tiny room isolated from everyone in the office made me begin to call this portion of my training "Ad-Seg". After my stint in ad-seg, I returned to the car to get parking ticket #1. Not sure what I will do come Monday...with it being a long weekend there were tons of dirt lot spots today....I was fortunate. I know that fortune will run out on Monday when the real world returns.
All in all today was a good day though. Got a parking spot. Was released from ad-seg into the general population and even seemed to make some early friendships. Plus, when I returned home the Edmonton Examiner came, as did the flyers. In the Edmonton Examiner (and next week in the flyers I assume) was a copy of the latest version of Red Plum. What a gigantic disappointment. Not many useful coupons at all. Well....maybe a few, but all in all, definitely not the best issue. Hopefully Smart Source will be better. That comes out next weekend.
Nonetheless, I couldnt help but notice that there is a coupon for Glade Aerosol Sprays. $0.25 off. Sobey's has them on sale for $0.99 and Walmart has them for $1.00. Not a bad deal at all if you use them regularly for your bathrooms.
Red Plum also has coupons for sensodyne toothpaste. If you have some from previous inserts there could be some good potential for stacking possibilities. I have not had the chance to review and re-organize and categorize my coupons. Once I have done that, I can advise as to the deals. One off the top of my head very worth mentioning is the Purex Laundry Detergent which is 2 for $7 at London Drugs...with the $3 off Purex Coupon (x2) that is detergent for $0.50 per bottle...when it retails at around $7.99 per bottle normally. An incredible deal.
Another that caught my eye is Safeway has their Crest Toothpaste 4 for $5. with the $0.75 off any Crest toothpaste coupon (from Brandsaver insert or brandsaver.ca), that makes each toothpaste $0.50 per tube (or 4 for $2.00). Good deal, but not as good the deal from a couple weeks ago for 5 tubes for $5. $0.25 per tube then!
Walmart has Kraft Singles on for $2.47, with the $1.00 off coupon from facebook, they are $1.47. That's the BEST price I have seen to date. Walmart also has Advil Nighttime going on sale for $3.99 per box. With the $4 off tear pad coupon they are free. Hopefully you can find some though. I havent seen a 10 pack since the last round of Advil sales!
There are a few deals for now. Teething baby is waking up again. Gotta run. Happy Canada Day to all and to all the best price!
