    Saving money

    Canadian tobacco prices just went up again here. I now pay $17/can for my General, which is absurd, but still not enough to make me quit lol.

    http://int.northerner.com/swedish-sn...y-portion.html

    From what I see, this is a bag containing 120 1g portions of snus, or am I mistaken? $14.40 or $20.00 after shipping. That's like 8-9 cans for $20, so how is it so cheap? I also have to figure out what I will pay after or if customs throws the taxes on it. This could possible save me a lot of money.

    Anyone bought one of these bags before?

    Those are basically and small version of the SnusX buckets. You have to add flavoring. Some people like to experiment with the flavorings and use these.
    That is a good way to save money. Just get some flavoring. PM me if you decide to get into flavoring the refill bags. I have quite a few of the flavors I don't need anymore. I don't usually post this on the forums but I can ship snus to Canada without you getting hit by customs. Done it more times than I care to admit.


    edit. If General snus is up to $17 per tin including taxes now in Canada, last week I saved one member almost $1000. The month before I helped him save $600. No wonder he [and others] contact me monthly.

    Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





    I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

      Sounds like it would be fun to try, I bet a tiny drop of vanilla extract in the water could be nice.
      I wonder what the chances of getting it past customs would be. My stuff never used to get caught. But my last order from Northerner was taxed and for the first time ever I had it come to my doorstep instead of getting a slip in the mail box. Don't know why.

        Canadian customs are harsh, trust me, I know it. Make small orders, like if you wanna buy 6 cans, make 2 oders of 3 cans instead

          Sounds like you Canadians would be better off finding a friend just over the border and driving it back into Canada.

              Don't think what? Having a friend or driving over the border? Canada is a big place and the border can be quite far away...I understand this part. You might want to refer to post #2 on this thread. Look real closely mate. There are alternatives.

                ^ This.

                I was hard pressed for money and snusless one time.

                PP really helped me out then. I would have probably been screwed otherwise.
