Shoppers Brag & Info!

[SmackUTwice]

For a few reasons I debated on going to Shoppers Drug Mart after work today, but finally decided to give it a go. Glad I did as I achieved my goal: spend $50 before tax to get the Tim Card. Furthermore, after I was given the Tim Card and my Optimum card was scanned, I handed over my stack of coupons. Not a word was said, got smiles... and a "you're the coupon queen, eh!" and I made sure to say "I'm working on it and it's a lot of work, but the savings are SO worth it!" She was just lovely. SO, as others have stated, and now I know for myself, these "bonus things" (could be the exception tho) are NOT AFTER coupons. So long as the total, before taxes is over $50 (or whatever amount), you get that "bonus thing."

SDM
x2 Glade Sense & Spray (sale $4.99), minus two $5 = +$0.02
Campino (sale $1.99) = $1.99
x4 Lifebrand peanut snack things ($0.99 each) = $3.96 *buy 2, get 300 bonus points*
Lifebrand dental floss (sale $1.99) = $1.99 *buy 5 Lifebrand products, get 20X points*
Glysomed handcream (sale $2.99), minus $1 = $1.99 *bonus coupon for 500 points*
x2 Crest Pro-Health (sale $1.77 each), minus two $1 = $1.54
x2 Aquafresh White n' Shine (sale $2/$5, scanned at $2.79 & $1.97=$4.76), minus two $0.50 = $3.76
Crest w/scope (sale $1.77), minus $1 = $0.77
Garnier Nutrioniste cleanser (sale $6.29)
Garnier Nutrioniste face cream (sale $10.99)
........minus $5 WUB 2 Garnier Nutrioniste = $12.28
x2 Hershey chocolate bars (sale 2/$1.69) = $1.69 (was a wee short of $50 pre-tax, so grabbed these!)

Total pre-tax = $49.95 (cashier said it was close enough)
Total w/tax + after coupons = $32.45

Reg points = 490 *so earned on total BEFORE coupons... a form of payment*
Points earned today = 2110 (which doesn't add up to enough... I'll re-check my thinking and probably end up taking it back and asking about it... or do I just call?!)

You are lucky. Around here they make it $50 after coupons for those promotions.

Enjoy the timmies.

Perhaps I am this time. But I had asked 3 cashiers previous to this if it was before or after coupons and they said after... okay, yet my receipts proved they counted reg points before coupons... so finally I just wanted to see what happens, lol. I had a "plan B" tho, lol!

Great deals and take your receipt back to the store if you want the missing points.

Way to go, great job!!! Send head office an email they can correct it for you, or should be able to anyhow - good luck!!!

Great brag. Thumbs up!!

And thanks for clarifying that it is your pre-coupon subtotal (before taxes) that qualifies you for the promotion.
