It's been a while since I had any coupons from SocialNature, but I recently qualified for a promotion of Only Goodness.
I'd never heard of this brand before, but it is available from our local Save-On-Foods. A quick look at their many products including commonplace staples like rice and pasta, shows they are competitively priced with similar products of other brands. In the case of this couscous, I looked at the price of Casbah brand couscous sold at Real Canadian Superstore, which is generally a cheaper supermarket than Save-on-Foods.
The couscous in particular I had trouble locating, though that is probably because I don't often shop for couscous or at Save-on-Foods. All the couscous was in its own "Natural" food section whereas I had initially thought it would be somewhere near grains/rice.
Happily the Save-on-Foods staff were extremely helpful and polite and competent. She knew exactly where it was and walked me to the exact product. In many other supermarkets you can expect at most to be directed to a couple of possible aisles, if you can find anyone to help at all.
Compared with Casbah or much-cheaper store brand durum wheat couscous, this Only Goodness uses corn semolina and is set apart from the competition by being gluten free.
Also, being a corn product versus a durum wheat product, the flavour is different although the various preparations of couscous will typically involve other ingredients that overwhelm the mild underlying flavour of couscous in both cases.
