How to find coupons in Canada at grocery stores

WHERE TO FIND COUPONS

The best place to find coupons is at the grocery stores. I will die on this hill. It you can also print or get mail to home coupons. You can even get coupons by emailing your favourit companies and sending some kind words. But my favourite way to find coupons is following the coupon rotation at the grocery stores. The guide above is merly a guide, and I find week three and four flopps depending on where you are in Canada. But this guide will help you grasp the idea of when new coupons hit your stores.

COUPON TERMS

Coupon terms are very important. Beginers BIGGEST MISTAKE is thinking that you can only use one coupon in a purchase, so whats the point? The termonolgy on the back of coupons is very important. When a coupon says One coupon per purchase it means One coupon per product purchased. Because each product you buy is a purchase. If you were to buy three boxes of cereal, and each box was $2.99 and you have a $2 coupon that is one per purchase. Then you can use 3 coupons, one per box (purchase) for a total savings of $6 making each box just $0.99.

If the coupon says One coupon per purchase per customer or One coupon per purchase per transaction Then no, you could only use one coupon for one box of cereal BUT you can still use other coupons in the same transaction.

WHEN TO USE COUPONS

When it comes to actually using your coupons, timing is key. Keep an eye out for sales and promotions at your local stores and combine them with your coupons for even bigger discounts. As well as collecting loyality points for even more savings. Most coupons only lower your out of pocket costs while still qualify you for those loyalty points. Planning your grocery trips around these sales can result in significant savings over time.

DIGITAL COUPONS & CASH BACK APPS

In addition to traditional paper coupons, consider exploring digital couponing options as well. Many stores offer digital coupons that can be loaded directly onto your loyalty card/app, making the savings process even easier.

Don't forget to check out couponing apps that can help you find deals, organize your coupons, and even earn cash back on your purchases. The most popular cash back app in Canada is Checkout51.
