How do you maximize FPCs

[kanda]

I have a number of FPCs that I want to make the most of. If only they could be used for SDM points. Do you have any suggestions on how to use them best, to get the most bang for my buck?

If you have cereal FPC, check for the boxes with free stuff, like ice cream, yogurt ....

That's a double free buy.

For the most part they are from companies, like when I send them an email. I have over $100 worth of FPCs that I'm hanging on to so I can figure out how to use them best. But man, are they ever burning a hole in my pocket!

I'm not sure if I was just lucky, but I used $75 in FPC's and spent $17 on top of that during one of the spend $75 and get $25 worth of SDM points and it worked!!

SDM won't give points (above Scer got lucky!) I use my FPC's at Sobeys or Zellers to get points & also on no tax days at RCSS if its a taxable coupon like Glade etc....

I'm saving all my Stouffer's FPC's for before Christmas when Rexall/Pharmaplus gives out tons of airmiles. All the FPC's will count towards your $50 total!!!

[gracesmommy]

like carly, i use mine at rcss for their tax free day. my zellers is awful with coupons so i don't even bother using any there unless it's a sale worth fighting for

I am hanging on to a few FPC mainly because I would get withdrawal from not having any FPC around.

Also I'll try to use them at SDM if possible, tired of explaining that there's no tax on the items when I get them somewhere else like WM.

I agree with Carly. I try to use them at the RCSS no tax sales. There is nothing better than seeing a balance of $0.00 on your receipt!

I also have used them at Safeway when they have ceratin promos that offer bonus AM's. The last one I can remember was Natural Defence Oral Care dog treats. They had B1G15BAM's so I used my FPC and got the AM's!

I also had some good luck getting points on FPCs at Shoppers. Maybe try Pharma Plus for airmiles or Zellers for HBC rewards (although I always find zellers to be a struggle with coupons :S)

[Pinklicious]

I use them during no-tax events (:

Also, if I have a FPC and a B1G1 (once I got away with a B2G1 as well), my awesome LD accepts them.

[Lonomia]

What an awesome question! I can't believe it didn't cross my mind.

I too use mine at Sobey's so that I can still collect points. Did so yesterday and got 20 points (1 FPC and the remainder coupons).

[hollyquaiscer]

I like to us mine at Sobey's because if they scan your card before they start taking off the discount, you get full points value, and then I can buy fresh veggies or meat with the bonus points. It's like double dipping.....I love it

i had a 10$ vaseline and couldnt find anything at that value...until... london drugs had buy 1 lotion for 6.99 or something and get one free! So I finally used it ( i know the lotions go to 4.99 sometimes but you cant purchase 2 with the coupon, so the free deal kinda enabled me to do just that!
