London Drugs Coupon Stacking (My 12/16/2009 Shop)

I've been stacking coupons at London Drugs since 2006, but as many of you have recently realized, I've kept this hobby rather quiet on my blog.  I've decided to use my blog to update my readers on different ways I save money in a variety of stores, one of my favorites definitely being London Drugs.

For those of you who don't know, the store London Drugs (in Western Canada) allows shoppers to stack coupons.  Coupon stacking can be done in a couple of different ways at London Drugs.  First of all, you are allowed to stack manufacturer coupons with London Drug store coupons (Real Canadian Superstore also does this).  Second of all, you are allowed to stack manufacturer coupons with other manufacturer coupons, as long as the manufacturer coupons you are stacking together have different UPC codes.

Another great thing about London Drugs is their price match guarantee.  London Drugs will match competitor's flyer prices when you bring in a copy of that store's flyer.  On top of that, London Drugs will continue to match competitor's prices for an additional 30 days after your original purchase.  Just bring in the competitors flyer and your original receipt and London Drugs will refund the difference.

Helpful Hint: At London Drugs, price matching can only be done at customer service.  If you are planning to price match at London Drugs, go to the customer service desk first.  If you are stacking coupons without price matching, you can visit a regular cash register; however, if you have a large order, you may want to go to customer service anyways to avoid holding up the line (I do this every time because it is just more convenient).
