**** Crest 3D White Toothpaste x2 - One day sale $1.88 - B2 save $2 P&G insert**** Looked at my bill when I got home, charged $5.99 each*** Going back first thing in the morning.
**** Also charged for one extra Royale Paper Towels $3.99 **** If I would have bought it I would have used one of the $1 off printables.

The staff is very good at this Carlton St. location in St. Catharines. I should not get a hassle. If it comes down to it with all the points mumbo jumbo they can just give me product for the mistakes. Right now they owe me $10.22 pl tax. I am not sure how they do this, opening up the closed receipt etc. in their system.

Also bought $ Apple Cider Vinegar - $1.99

Subtotal $66.23 including their error.
Tax $ 9.72 incl. error
Total Paid $75.95

Their receipt says you saved $89.53. Basically my sub total should be 56 dollars give or take after all the deductions and minus the error from the $111 net.

Receipt says: REGULAR POINTS: 980
PRODUCT POINTS: 1200
DEPT POINTS: 1200
TRANSACTION BONUS PTS: 18620

I know I should have followed the online advice and bought a $50 dollar Shoppers G.C. before shopping for the extra 500 pts. Any other things I can do to optimize the points? I made sure the cpns were coded correctly when I was there as well ( Just by observing : ) I am a pretty easy going, organized shopper and like the shopping experience to be fun and friendly for the staff and myself. Thanks for reading. R. Just waiting for my birthday 8000 to be added as well.

I'm not sure but wondering if you can do a SCOP on the Crest 3D White Toothpaste given that they charged you wrong. Ask before you ask for a refund. You might get one or both free & let us know if it works.

Thanks everyone for your comments and birthday wishes! Thor9: I missed reading this and had already went back to Shoppers. TY for that information. You are likely right. The Shoppers refunded the 3 errors w/o a problem. It was 16 something in change. It changed my points a little but nothing to change my x20 qualifying.

Super staff there. The Cosmetics Sales woman gave me a Biotherm Homme Total Recharge and La Roche Posay Lipikar Baume sample box. While I was there I also picked up another Centrum for free and used the $3 off Tide Detergent email coupon they sent me on a small bag of pods which was on sale for $5.99.

Went by Walmart with my Sister this evening and showed her how to use the ***** app we put on her phone. She enjoyed it. Quite handy when you just bring your fliers with you as I had done, when you are doing a few spur of the minute groceries to see if there is a better price to P.M. Sure enough she ended up matching 4 items of the 10 she picked up. Have a great night everyone.
