Wow… and to think I was actually going to post something here about my savings. Not a chance now with the attitude of some people here, I thought this would be a fun forum but can clearly see now it’s just a volley match of disrespectful comments and not about saving anything.

Have a great day.

The only thing I see you guys sharing on here is a bunch of whining and crying about you shopping experiences. Truthfully I don’t see much exchanging of money saving tips as jssica suggests. Julian makes some good points. I think you need to get over yourselves.

“I use coupons to save $ then make a yearly DONATION of my savings to SICK CHILDRENS HOSPITAL FOUNDATION. Hope you are proud of your comment now.”

Haha, I like how your bring that up just to make yourself feel better.

I have had issues recently at one Shoppers. I just don’t go there anymore. My local one has no problem accepting printed coupons.

To Mr. Ignormus above. Really?! The only thing reeking of cheep on this post is your comment. If that was the attitude of all of us using coupons, what the h*ll would the point be? Using coupons well and saving thousands a year in the process takes smarts, being extremely organized and a lot of dedication. You do realize what site you’re on, right? OH…my bad…you meant to land on the site “dumbcanucks”, not “smartcanucks”. Hopefully by now you have realized your mistake and vamoosed!!

There’s a difference between being cheap and being thrifty. Here at SC I think the majority of us are all thrifty. We use coupons to save money and a lot of us then use our thriftiness to donate and spread our good fortune to those who need it most.

The comment that was made about being cheap was rude and it looks like it was intended that way. OP if you can save $1 every time you buy a product you need using coupons then you’ll have the last laugh!

i had the same experience with the sunlight detergent at sdm. they won’t accept my save.ca $1 off coupon. the cashier said the detergent is $0.99 and cannot take the coupon with a great value than the sale price. i guess it depends on the cashier…oh well…

I work at Shoppers Drug Mart so I can clear this up a bit. We cannot accept coupons like that because the system does not allow us to since you have not spent at least the amount of the coupon. Unless we change and increase the price of the item through the cash register, it cannot be done. Our paperwork is collected and checked at head office and so they said no to you because we would be the ones to blame if they noticed we increased the price of the item so the coupon would work. If you really want to use the coupon, get the cashier to charge you for a 5 cent bag to put your toothpaste in. That will bring it up over $1. Otherwise, buy your toothpaste elsewhere.

Sushal, we do not accept any printable coupons whatsoever. I am not entirely sure of the reasoning behind this but I know we have been told by head office to not accept them.

CheapNCheaky, assuming the coupon would work, you still have to pay the tax. Nothing is ever “free”.

Tried to use the softlips $2 coupon at Shopper yesterday and was told that store was not taking any printable coupons at all.

Isn’t everyone on SC cheap? Isn’t that the whole premise of this website…to save a buck? Yeah I’m cheap and I’m proud of it. Why would I pay $1 if I can get away with pay nothing? If you’re gonna be rude to the people trying to save a buck, then why are you even on here?

@jssica - it is very noble of you to make donations to SICK CHILDRENS HOSPITAL FOUNDATION, especially since you need to rely on coupon savings to afford the donations.

I applaud your generosity and compassion, and for the cynical haters - I do not doubt for a second that she actually does track the money she saved using coupons and donates all of it to the hospital. It would be exceptionally despicable and repulsive for a person to lie about something like that - just to make someone else feel guilty. I can’t imagine the worthless loser human beings surrounding said person, because we are all old enough to know that you reap what you sow - a selfish liar who would exploit a CHILDREN’S charity to manipulate another person on the internet isn’t going to attract (or deserve) worthwhile people in their own lives. I certainly wouldn’t respect anyone who would do that.

Again, I applaud your kindness and generosity, and hope Shoppers (and the hospital) read this to know what kind of a person you really are.

I guess I misunderstood that being called “cheap” was a term of endearment.

I don’t understand why some of you are so upset over Ron Simmon’s comment. He just called her cheap. In his perspective refusing to pay 99cents is considered cheap, actually if you were to survey the general public I’m sure most of them would agree with him. Your comments against him were just as rude so I think that instead of being so defensive at these so called “rude” and “aggressive” comments, just ignore them? Jssica, that’s great you make donations but really you do not need to justify anything to anyone, so you should calm down and not take so much offense over the comments.
