This week alone I got 2,000 extra Optimum Points. How? The Shopper's store flyer had a promo code that I entered on their site and walla free points.
Not only that I got twenty times the points for shopping on a specific day of the week!
Okay you had to spend $40.00 to get the points but I am almost up to $60.00 in points so it is well worth it.
My plan is to get the highest amount of Optimum points and then cash-in. It is easy to see you are saving and here is why. You just buy what you actually need! You were going to spend the money at Shopper's Drugmart regardless. Even if they did not have the Optimum Points program.
The plan of attack is - you hold onto the points - for however long - until they have the points day where you get the extra money for spending on the points spending days. Do not deviate from the plan or you lose out. That my friend can equal to free stuff worth up to $200.00.
Okay, Shopper's Drugmart loves me but I love them too!
Can I be an ambassador for the company? Actually, they should give me free shares in the place.
Next, your work as a Coupon Queen is not done. You need lots and lots of coupons. Right now, I need to see if my Sunday news-paper has coupon inserts - some do - some don't. No sense spending a dollar on a newspaper that does not have coupons - not worth it.
The second plan of attack is Internet Manufacturer's Coupons. Make a list of everything you buy constantly. See if there are coupons for that. I buy Royale Toilet Paper quite often so I would of course be looking for the Royale coupons.
Now be warned that you might have to do a lot of downloading of their specific computer programs and that you may need to re-boot your computer the next day. But, that is just one of the pit-falls of being a Coupon Queen.
Places where you can get free Canadian coupons are:
www.websaver.ca
www.save.ca
www.SmartCanuks.ca
www.GoCoupons.ca
The law of couponing is - never, ever photo-copy a coupon - that is illegal.
Always make sure they are Canadian coupons if your Canadian and vice versa if your an American.
Do not get caught in a long line-up - for example Walmart - and - you find out your coupons have expired. A big no - no !
Have your coupons ready to show the cashier as soon as you show her the item you have the coupon for. That will speed up the check-out.
Use Coupon Queen Etiquette - don't grab or be aggressive in the store trying to get a lot of stuff - remember - be nice!
Know the store return policy and see if they have a coupon policy.
Read the fine print on each and every coupon - very important.
Lastly, have fun - and - if you don't need something you got free - donate it to the local food bank.
That's it for now.
