Best SDM for redemption????

[scbpooh]

Planning on taking part in the big redemption weekend on Dec.3 but Im just wondering which SDM location has the best selection for toys ans such? Im redeeming for my 2 kids, 4 and 14. Possibly a little for my 2 nephews. 1 and 6.

Ive looked at the selection at Broad and 14th and wasnt too impressed. Also went to Northgate and found a few things I maybe interested in.

Just wondering about some of the bigger locations like Park St? South Albert? Any others im missing???

I like the Normanview one, and the Sherwood one is great if you want beauty items. Had a really good experience at the Vic Square store yesterday so that's a good one as well!

I'd stay away from Cornwall. The mall is going to be crazy this weekend and the store could get pretty picked over!

Thanks guys! I was thinking about checking out Vic square this weekend and South in the next few days. Really dont wanna travel up to Normainveiw/Sherwood as im in the cathedral area and thats a little too far!

I'm the opposite, I'm in Lakeridge and I find the South/East stores too far, lol. IMHO the Normanview and Northgate SDM's are a disappointment. I may be going on the wrong days though, who knows. Or it may be that I see so many awesome brags posted involving SDM deals that I am expecting too much I am interested in how you make out. I may have to force myself to venture out that way more often. I have never done a redemption before but Mrs. January makes it look easy Good luck!

South isn't too bad. They had stuff for younger kids - princess dress up, barbie dolls. I didn't focus on boy stuff but last year they had cars. They have a crappy movie selection and are always crazy on redemption day but I suppose all store are.

What time is everyone going? Store open? For those going to South what time?

[scbpooh]

Checked out the South this morning and they had a better selection of DS games and a few misc. things but they didnt have the Leap Frog toy that I was looking at for DS. So Im really torn now! Went back to Northgate last night night and they seemed like everything was picked over. Not sure if they are going to restock or not.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 for the Wii $60 for my brother
Snow white dress up set for daughter $25
The rest was chocolate and candy for stockings for the kids and my brothers.

I went to Vic East for mine and got everything I wanted to get (mostly groceries and a couple of small gifts - no electronics) so was very happy. I got to the store at 7:45 and there was an employee outside as if he was there to do security, but there was no one in line. I waited in the truck until 8 am and was the first in the door, and it was VERY quiet the entire time I shopped.

I went back at 3:30 for the second redemption and it was quite busy, but they still had the groceries and HABA items I wanted. The only challenge was the til froze up just before she attempted to redeem my points so we had to unpack everything and scan it all over again. I wasn't going to be upset but the few people behind me in line were.
