When Black Friday was coming up in 2008, I became aware of several websites that would post the flyers and deals ahead of time. Being in Canada, Black Friday really isn’t “celebrated” but we have Boxing Day which is about the same. Well, I found a website that posted the boxing day flyers a week or so before they formally came out. This was great as it allowed me to plan a bit for deals the day after Christmas.
Fast forward a few months and I became interested in coupons and the art of “couponing”. Since then, our household has really become quite the savings machine. Below are a few of the resources we regularly utilize for coupons, deals as well as a few sites I personally recommend for product quality, service and value. If you know of other sites, please add them in the comments.
