A lot of people are scared of coupons. I used to be. And then I decided to commit myself to using them....wow, I am always in awe at how much money I have saved in the past few years, just using coupons.
Sure, buying no name vs. brand name sans coupons can save you a lot. But I have actually found that buying brand name often works out cheaper because of the coupons. And lots of companies out there give away coupons for free products, when they're launching a new product, or trying to drum up some interest.
Every week, I check out the flyers online for good sales, and check out what I have coupons for....if something is a really great deal, I will stock up.
An awesome site to check out when you're starting to use coupons is Smart Canucks - www.smartcanucks.ca - there are forums where people discuss the sales, which coupons to use, etc. This is my absolute favourite site - it helps me save SO much money.
There are some great sites online that allow you to request coupons, and they mail them to you, free of charge.
