I came across what might be the best website in the history of the Internet. I’m not joking. Founded by ‘Boo Radley’ in 2006, Smart Canucks was one of the first all Canadian deals and shopping sites.

I was ‘googling’ (now I’ll stick to Swagbucks though- thanks to SC) something to find an online savings code to order pizza or something when I saw Smart Canucks. It lead to to a blog that was filled with deals (all Canadian friendly!!) These deals were for food, baby products, shopping, events, and more! This was my kind of site! I then noticed that there was a forum. A forum is a place for people who share common interests to get together (online) and share tips/tricks/brags etc. about a certain topic. There are forums for computers, cars, shoes, and more. The forum was all about freebies, shopping deals, contests, coupons (and so much more!) This was my kind of place! Sign me up! I instantly signed myself up for an account (my name on the forum is meguwo.) This was in May of 2009.

For the next few months I spent a lot of my time just checking out the blog (where they showcase the big deals and savings!) I didn’t really dive into the forum until the end of Summer, 2009. I was sure missing out though! The forum is incredible. Not only is it filled with savings ideas, it is full of the most amazing people. I was a member a forum before and I found a lot of people to be pretty conceited, and not really care about other members. They would poke fun of you if you made a spelling mistake (not cool… it happens!) Smart Canucks is the opposite. Everyone was SO helpful and SO nice and SO caring. Not a day went by that I would get a rep from someone telling me to have a great day, or something like that. (A rep is a way of acknowledging a post as being helpful, or something along those lines.) I was shocked how amazing each member was.

Smart Canucks is all about its members. It’s success counts on each member posting deals that they have seen or might know about. Someone might say- oh this item is on sale this week at Wal-Mart for $2 regular $6- make sure to use the $2 off coupon that you can find (wherever it might be found) and you can get it free! It’s amazing the kinds of deals you can find when there are 75,000+ people out looking. Do you need free shipping codes? What about some free samples in the mail? Do you want to read reviews on stores before you shop there? Do you want to join a coupon train (exchanging coupons you don’t want for ones you might want that other people don’t- I hope that made sense!!) It is SUCH a great site- not even a site- a COMMUNITY! Any question you need answered, any help you might need- anything at all- there is always someone there to help!!! You can also contribute to the site! It is so much fun! It’s like a second family!

Just a little big about Swagbucks (thanks to SC I found this site!) It’s like google- but you win Swagbucks for doing internet searches! Once you have so many Swagbucks you can cash them in for FREE STUFF! It’s amazing! Why not get paid to do your searches? Some SC member get up to $500 a year back in Swagbucks! WOW!

You really need to check out Smart Canucks. It will change your life.
