Did you know that there are a variety of coupon resources available in Canada? We have compiled a list of our favourites! This will show you how to get coupons in Canada.

Hopefully, you have decided to join the Canadian coupon craze and start cashing in on the great savings.

One way to find Canadian coupons is to look around. Look in your local paper (smart source Coupons), magazines, department and grocery stores, and product packaging. Another great way to find coupons that you will use is to talk to people.

Tell family and friends, and co-workers that you would love to save more money by using coupons. Unfortunately, when I started, there seemed to be some stigma attached to using coupons.

In the USA, lots of people use coupons. It is widespread. Sometimes if you don’t use coupons, people will ask you why not? Here in Canada, we look at it a little differently. Some people think “only poor people use coupons.”

I have a different view. “Only uninformed people don’t use coupons.” People that have no idea how much you can save. Even if you are not financially strapped, why wouldn’t you take advantage of coupons to save money or experience new and exciting products that you might not otherwise be able to try?

Besides, the money you save can be used to treat yourself to something nice.

Whether Canadian couponing interests you because you are trying to support your family on a limited budget or want to stash away a little extra to treat yourself later, “talk about it.”

You might find that you have an acquaintance that is a “secret” coupon user. Once they know you are interested, they might tell you their tips or share or trade coupons.

So, let’s get to it. Most Canadian coupons I find are first discovered on the internet. So, as previously mentioned (in yesterday’s post), start searching the web for products you use all the time.

Sign up for all the company websites that interest you.

But make sure you are looking and signing up to the Canadian sites. For example, if you are searching Covergirl, ensure it is Covergirl. CA, not Covergirl.com. Some sites make it hard to tell whether they are Canadian or USA. I usually scroll down to the bottom of the page and look at the fine-print information. If it shows a USA city/state, you are on an American site. Sometimes there is an option at the top of the page to change the country. This will redirect you to the Canadian site. You will find examples of this on the Tide and Greenworks websites.

Now that you have found some Canadian-friendly websites, the next step is to sign up for their newsletters. This can be a great way How to Get Coupons in Canada.

Also, sign up for Facebook and Twitter. “Like” company’s Facebook pages, and that way, when running a coupon or sample promotion, they will post it on their wall, and you will automatically see it in your Facebook feed.

 

I recently joined Twitter and was amazed to find many people tweeting about Canadian coupons. If you see someone online with a blog about saving money in Canada, why not follow them on Twitter? Some companies even host Twitter parties where you can join the conversation and answer time-limited questions to win prizes and coupons. There is a Dove Chocolate one on as I write this. So tweet your New Year’s resolutions, and you might win a coupon. (Not 100% sure if Canada and/or the A, though).

One more great way to receive high-value Canadian coupons is to do surveys. Surveys can be an excellent way for companies to offer you coupons.

For example, I always do the shopper’s voice survey. If you are not familiar with this one, you might have seen it in your mailbox in the past. It usually comes in a larger yellow envelope and is not addressed to you personally. I discovered that you could do this survey online. However, I will caution you this is a very long survey, and you must set aside some time to do it. Nevertheless, this survey is well worth the effort.”. Then, 3 to 4 months later, you will receive a nice plump envelope chucked full of high-value coupons.

You can also e-mail companies directly. Yes, that’s right. Find a product you love or even a disappointing one and let these companies know what you think. Good or bad. Most reputable companies appreciate the feedback, and some, but not all, will reward your efforts with a coupon.

There is no harm in even asking for one. For example, while learning the ropes, I had trouble printing out a coupon from the General Mills website. My printer wouldn’t cooperate. So I clicked on their website’s “contact us” tab and shot them off an e-mail. The coupons I received were like little cheques made out in my name. Five of them, each for $1.00 off any product they produce (very cool). I was thrilled and became an instant fan.
