Top 37 Grocery Coupons You Should Know About

Groceries are pricey these days and kids seem to go through snacks, diapers, and baby food faster than we can restock. But that doesn’t mean you have to pay full price every time you hit the store.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to use grocery coupons in Canada -and where to get the best ones, including exclusive deals right here on The Canadian Parent.

You’ll also discover valuable ways to access complimentary baby essentials, redeem rewards, and participate in tailored membership programs built for Canadian families.

How to Get Grocery Coupons in Canada

Grocery coupons aren’t just relics from your grandmother’s coupon binder. They’ve grown up right along with us, and today, there are multiple ways to receive them, ready to print, load to your phone, or claim through apps without even leaving the couch.

Let’s go over the main types and how they work.

Printable Grocery Coupons Canada

Printable grocery coupons today are mostly digital. You find them online, physically print them at home, and bring them to the store. Some offers come from brand partnerships designed to make coupons more accessible and convenient for parents.

You can head over to the Canadian Parent Giveaway Page for regularly updated printable coupons. You can also check out brand sites like Websaver.ca and Save.ca.

Printable coupons work like the old-school flyer coupons you might remember, except you won’t need scissors or a Sunday paper.

But one thing to keep in mind: This coupon type has limited print runs, usually just once or twice. So, we suggest doing a test print first to avoid wasting your coupons on printing errors.

Once that’s sorted, keep these tips in mind:

  • Print clearly in color or black-and-white
  • Make sure the barcode is readable
  • Hand them over at checkout like you would a regular flyer coupon

Digital Grocery Coupons Canada

No printer? No problem. Digital coupons are 100% paperless and can be scanned straight from your phone. They’re oftentimes also linked directly to your grocery store loyalty card or app.

You can find weekly savings coupons on websites like Flipp and Caddle. If you’re shopping for baby or kid-specific items like diapers, wipes, or baby skincare products, we’ve got offers for those too on our giveaways page.

The only real caveat here is that you’ll need a reliable internet connection and usually an account with the store or app.

Other than that, it’s as simple as “clipping” or loading the offer to your account or store loyalty card (some stores may require you to activate it before shopping). Once scanned at checkout, the rebate/savings apply automatically.

Grocery Coupon Apps

Grocery coupon apps are one of the easiest ways to earn cashback benefit on everyday purchases. Many of them reward you just for uploading a photo of your grocery receipt – no paper coupons or store cards needed.

Some of the top apps used in Canada include:

It works like this: You open the app, check the current offers, and buy the item from any participating store. Then, you upload a clear photo of your receipt. Once it’s verified, the cashback is added to your app wallet – and when you’re ready, you can cash it out for real money or gift cards.

And here’s a tip: You can often combine these app offers with a printable or digital coupon for the same product. Double savings on a single purchase!

Free Grocery Coupons Canada

Free grocery coupons are the ones that actually come with no strings attached – no spending requirements, no catch. These include exclusive offers for parents and promotional product trials that are both useful and informative.

And that’s a bonus, especially since most grocery coupons you’ll find only give you a discount or percentage off if you hit a minimum spend.

We’ve curated a lot of this free stuff in our Free Baby Samples Guide, but most of these 100% free coupons are time-sensitive.

That’s to say it’s worth following your favorite stores and trusted brands on social media or taking a moment to sign up for their newsletters since that’s where they often share these offers before anywhere else.

Some of these might be printable, while others work through an app or get mailed to your home. Either way, just follow the instructions to use them properly.

Canadian Grocery Coupons by Mail

Some brands or shops deliver grocery coupons right to your doorstep, especially when they want to promote new products or run special giveaways. These promotions often come bundled with comprehensive baby kits or complimentary samples that parents can easily apply for.

If a coupon is available for mail delivery, it will usually say so on the shop’s site. In most cases, you just fill out a quick form with your name and address, and the coupon gets mailed straight to your home, no printing needed.

Delivery usually takes a few weeks, though, so just don’t count on them showing up right away.
