Shoppers Optimum Points Spreadsheet - Update on Post #1

[tobiwobi]

Eggs are not a good example. They're a good price at Shoppers.

How about Finish little box regular 16.99, on sale 10.99 yikes so even when on sale, I can't use the free rebate at Shoppers because it's so overpriced.

Oh my gosh.. That s a horrible price. But amazingly enough using my spreadsheet, under my current 18500 / 75 promotion Price check thingy My buy price works out to $10.52 before tax. I didn't realize some items were so far out of wack, but another good reason why I tend to only buy sale items, which usually are pretty good.

I have some data from my Optimum tracking spreadsheet:
I have been keeping track of my Shoppers transactions from Oct 2014 till now (March 2015).

Spent a total (incl tax) $472 out of pocket.

Overspent (items I could have bought cheaper elsewhere, but chose to buy them because of points) $16.

Mostly used 4000 points wus $20 on food, and points on milk coupons, odd ones here and there but no 20x points promos, largest single transaction is $35 and mostly food items and milk bought.

Total value of points accumulated during this time is about $95 (regular value, no special redemptions).

This works out to about 16% savings (95 - 16)/472.

Not earth shattering savings - that is approximately like getting HST back on my 472 that I spent. Granted, a bit more if we count the special redemption value of points, as opposed to regular value.

Yes I agree it was nice to see this bumped.

To be honest, I got so busy between work and Christmas shopping, and the holidays.. I stopped filling out my spreadsheet like I had been. But using the spreadsheet has taught me some pretty priceless lessons. From time to time I still punch in purchases to see how well i did. Like my recent purchases where I had earned in 3 consecutive $75 shops, 387, 391 & 379 points per dollar spent. It's like the VISA commericial... "Priceless"

Key enough with tooting my own horn.

I made a calculator that allows you to compare a product from sdm to another store and see if what you earn in points is worth what you save in dollars, it also allows for coupons. I think a lot of people will find this useful.

Wow, impressive

Thumbs up and thank you to you, Poobah, lecale and others who can create these programs and spreadsheets and share them with us so kindly
