SDM Flyer (BC) Jan.2 '10 (20Xpoints)

[christinel]

Do prints count towards the $50. Also, does anyone know what the print special says. I see 10 cents a print when you get 50? Is there a limit to how many you can print at that price?

Thanks for the post!

Thank you so much for posting. I really don't know what to buy for $50. Too bad stamps are not included. Maybe... let's check the flyer again.

Stamps are excluded. At this point I've decided not to do the 20Xpoints event because nine days after that there is the "Tell a Friend" event which gets you points at about twice the rate per dollar as the 20Xpoints event. If you can wait a little longer and don't want to spend as much then that's the way to go.

In fact, I'm going to coerce hubby to finally get his Optimum card and then after I sign up for the "Tell a Friend" event I will get him to sign up under me. Then we'll go and spend $40 (total between us) and get twice the points (as compared to the 20Xpoints event) for spending $10 less than the minimum spend required for the 20Xpoints event.

thanks for the early flyer....

I was thinking of buying a Camera and other stuff = $200 would I be better going to the 20X event or Senior's Day (20% off + $10 off coupon)?

Thanks for your advice.

Yes. If you spend $200 on 20x the points day, you earn 40,000pts which is worth $100 on bonus redemption day (in Ontario) VS. saving $50 if you shop on seniors day (20% of $200 plus $10).

I was thinking of trying out the tell a friend event but I'll be using my dad's money ('cause I'm broke ) and he or I might not have time to go shopping. But we will most likely be able to rack up $50 for this week's flyer, I don't know about next week tho.

Okay first this is for planning your shops for 20x day (Jan 2).

On this thread you can:

• share the excitement
• share your shopping list
• share deal ideas
• share coupon and MIR ideas

Food Flyer for Jan 2-Jan 15 is up

mcminsen has posted the flyer for Jan 2 which has a Food Section that goes to Jan 15 -- see pages 3 & 4 (posts 5,6,7,8)

[Giving-Small]

The two week flyer pullout doesn't have a lot of food deals

Here's some ideas if you're new to SDM events.

1. Buy Milk (except Atlantic Canada - Tell a Friend -- it's excluded)

Probably everyone knows this first tip but buying the jugs of milk at Shopper's on these days can take a bite out of the $50 and the $20 and milk is a good value.

So 2 jugs is ~ $8

2. Offer to buy milk for others

I have a friend without a car who is happy to have me drop off a couple of jugs.

3. Organic Maple Syrup

If you buy real maple syrup, even at Shopper's regular price, the maple syrup is good value. So that's usually on my list.

Great ideas. Thanks
