Yesterday I got an email for my favorite Canadian drugstore: Shoppers Drugmart. It was giving me 20x the points if I spent $50 so this morning I made my list…
Bought $20 in Life brand products at 10 x the points
A Color on sale at 10x the points with a $3.00 off coupon
Milk was on sale so got milk
Bought $10 in grocery items so got a 1000 point bonus there
Bought Tide with a $1.00 off coupon and got another 1000 point bonus because I bought $20 worth of household items
Bought life brand sunscreen(on sale), got another 500 point bonus
Got another 500 point bonus for paper towels
Then looked at my $73 bill and notice that 2 items came in at the wrong price so got them both for FREE. I used the Scanning Code of Practice that states if an item is $10 or less and comes up wrong on the cash register from a posted price then that product is free…so with those gone I spent $52 today.
how many points does that give me how does 15,034 sound? That is a $25 redemption..so basically overall I average a 35% savings by the end of the year off everything. At Christmas time I usually redeem $200 for Christmas shopping…great way to get gifts without much work..oh and my Lindt chocolate and the acid reducer were great to get free.
If you dont have an Optimum card may I suggest you get one. They are so very handy! and it doesn’t take long before you are able to redeem for a purchase or two.

well done, I am a big fan of SDM as well. I have got some Lindt chocolate that I had FOF-ed so check that out as well. I posted my FOF things on my blog if you want to take a look? By the way I didn’t get the email you got from SDM…….not fair!!!!! LOL
