CT
3x Royale TP @ $4.97-$1 = 11.97
HST = 1.79
Total: 13.70
Dollarama
Knock off softsoap (to refill my Lysol dispensers) = $2
Sport card holders (for my coupon binder because mine are full) = 5x $1 (8 sheets per package)
2 small spray bottles = 2x $1
Lightweight glass food storage containers = 4 @ $1.50 and 4 @ $2
Total: $23
HST = $2.76
Total: $25.76
I grabbed a bunch of the glass containers because I’ve been wanting to switch from plastic to glass for food storage containers. My mom got me some of the glasslock ones for Christmas and I really like them but am too cheap to pay full price. The Dollarama ones look and feel exactly the same and are waaaay less than half the price.

WTG!
I really need to get some food storage containers, everything I have is still in original packaging with bags clips :P
Cupboards would look WAY cleaner with storage bins.

I didn't know that SDM awarded Optimum Points on the purchase of their store's gift cards. Good to know. I will have to start doing that. Thanks ! !

No, I loaded it on an SDM giftcard then used the giftcard to pay for my purchases. They don't award points on other stores giftcards.

Just to clarify one to get optimum points when using a gift card, don't purchase a GC with an amount already on it. Purchase a reloadable GC, then everytime you reload it you will get points! This works for lotto and other things that don't qualify for points. Reload your GC and then use that to purchase your lotto ticket!
